Dr Sean Bannan

"My passion for elevating dentistry to a higher level comes from my love of artistry, working with my hands, and genuinely caring for my patients. I believe it's important to offer a wide range of treatment options and to take the time to educate each patient on what's available. When patients understand their options, they feel more confident choosing the path that best supports their oral health and fits their lifestyle." Dr. Sean Bannan grew up surrounded by dentistry in Michigan. His father, also a dentist, served as his early mentor and role model, giving him the opportunity to see firsthand the impact of compassionate dental care. Before beginning dental school, Dr. Bannan gained valuable experience working alongside his father as a dental assistant, as well as with several mentor dentists in Denver, Colorado. These formative years gave him a deep appreciation for quality craftsmanship, patient connection, and the art of dentistry. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology from Michigan State University and went on to receive his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. Dr. Bannan maintains active memberships in numerous professional organizations, including the American Dental Association, Florida Dental Association, Central Florida District Dental Association, Volusia–Flagler County Dental Association, American Equilibration Society, American Academy of Implant Dentistry, American Academy of Oral and Systemic Health, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Dr. Bannan is a proud Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD)—a distinction achieved by less than 6% of dentists nationwide—recognizing his dedication to excellence through extensive continuing education and clinical mastery. He is also deeply involved with the Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, where he not only completed advanced post-graduate training but now serves on the Board of Advisors and the Nominating Committee. While Dr. Bannan offers comprehensive general dentistry for patients of all ages, he has developed advanced expertise in treating patients with complex dental conditions and jaw and TMJ pain. His approach emphasizes precision, compassion, and a focus on restoring both comfort and confidence for every patient. “I wake up excited every day knowing that I get to do what I love,” says Dr. Bannan. “Building relationships with people from all walks of life and having a meaningful, positive impact on their health is both humbling and rewarding. I treat every patient as I would a member of my own family.” Recently, Dr. Bannan and his family relocated from Florida to Oregon, drawn by the state’s natural beauty, distinct seasons, and especially its snowy winters. Outside the office, he enjoys golfing, skiing, playing guitar, cheering for the Michigan State Spartans, and spending time with his wife, Kate, and their two sons, Logan and Miles. Their family also includes three beloved dogs—Bowzer, Peach, and Chewy—who love joining in on Oregon’s outdoor adventures.
