Personal Interests

When Dr. Dustin is not in the office, you’ll find him surfing the Oregon Coast, skiing, camping, mountain biking, hunting hole-in-the-wall restaurants, or cheering college sports with his wife and four children, fully embracing the Pacific Northwest life he loves.

"We’ve been at this office for 5 years now and have never been disappointed in the staff. When Dr Davis took over he continued to provide a wonderful experience. I have 5 children ages 15 down to 5 and he has been able to relate to each individually and adapt his bedside manner to make each feel comfortable and safe. We love Dr Davis and his team!"

- Karla H.

“We have been taking our five year old son to Dr. Dustin for the last two years. He actually looks forward to going to the dentist because of the interactions he has with the staff and dentist. They are very good with children that are scared or timid about going to the dentist. They have state of the art equipment. Dr. Dustin will be very clear in explaining what procedure is taking place, what the expected outcome is, and why it’s important to the health of your child. He is also very patient with our questions or concerns. I would recommend this business to anybody looking for a new dentist for their children or parents with children needing a dentist for the first time. Be true to your teeth or they’ll be false to you, or just brush the ones you want to keep!”

“This was our second trip to Sunnyside Dentistry for Children and we will continue to come here. The office is super clean and kid friendly. They are so great with my two toddlers that as a parent, not much is required from me during the appointments. They explain what they are doing in kid-friendly terms to accomplish just what they need to do, without pushing the kids to do anything uncomfortable.”
