Tyler Bryan, DMD

Tyler Bryan was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV. His father has practiced dentistry their for over 30 years. Growing up Tyler always said he would never be a dentist because , well, everyone hates the dentist. However, during college Tyler worked part-time for his father and fell in love with the family business. After completing his studies at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Tyler and his young family moved to the beautiful northwest to attend dental school at Oregon Health and Sciences University in Portland. During his senior year of dental school, Tyler was accepted to the University of Nevada School of Medicine Dental Residency. After graduating from dental school he and his family returned to Las Vegas to begin his residency training with an emphasis on dental surgery, implants, and IV sedation dentistry. He also began preparations to eventually take over the family practice. However, it wasn’t long before Tyler and his family began to feel the urge to return to the Oregon they had grown to love. After completing the grueling residency and breaking the difficult news to his father, Tyler and his family returned to Oregon and settled in Albany. Dr. Bryan and his wife Jessica now have four beautiful children and are so thankful to live in such a wonderful place.

“My father has patients that have moved far from Vegas, but still travel across the country just to see him as their dentist. They all say, ‘his skill, integrity, and care is the best.’ I only hope that someday the same might be said of me.” Dr. Tyler Bryan
