About Dr. Payne
I grew up in the Willamette Valley and decided this would be the best place to raise my family. My wife and I and 3 kids enjoy skiing, swimming, beach combing and hiking here in the great Northwest. I attended Oregon Health Sciences University Dental School and graduated with awards in oral surgery. I have always had an interest in keeping up with the most current techniques and materials. I enjoy the artistic side of dentistry. That's why I have taken so many hours of continuing education in cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry. Form and function. Too much cosmetic dentistry is being done today without considering how it is suppose to function. It is no fun having a pretty smile if you are not able to chew properly, or it is always breaking.
