Dr Kirk Christianson

Dr. Kirk Christianson is originally from Southern California, and has been practicing for the last 20 yrs in the Portland, Oregon area. Recently moving east, he and his family were drawn to the coastal area of North Carolina. Dr. Christianson received his Bachelors’ degree in Biology from Boise State University. Immediately after graduation, he and his family moved to Florida to attend Nova Southeastern College of Dental Medicine. He holds a SMART certification. He spent two years working for the National Health Service Corps in Montana before relocating to the Oregon/Washington area and purchasing a practice in Downtown Portland. Dr. Christianson has spent several years pursuing additional training in the field of dental implants, reflecting hundreds of hours of didactic instruction and supervised surgical practice. He received his Fellowship Award in Implantology in 2010, followed by his Mastership in 2012. Finally in 2015, he received his Diplomat in Implantology from the International Dental Implant Association. Fewer than 0.5% of US dentists have attained this distinction in the world of dental Implantology. As a highly trained general dentist, he has both the knowledge and experience to surgically place and restore the dental implant that is right for you. In addition to this experience in implant placement, he does tooth extractions atraumatically. His other areas of interest are cosmetics, clear aligner orthodontics and holistic endodontics. His goal is to treat his patients like he treats his own family, providing the highest quality of care with an easy-going gentle manner. Like many of his patients, Dr. Christianson came to the conclusion over time and through personal experience, that traditional medicine has been overcome by interests that do not always seek to benefit the patient, and in some cases, may have the opposite effect on the patients’ health. He is excited to work in a holistic dental practice and work with patients on their oral health.
