Dr. Bird's Biography —  I was born and raised in rural southeastern Idaho. I grew up spending time in the outdoors and working on nearby potato farms. I played sports and excelled in wrestling. I was a high school all American in wrestling. After high school I spent two years doing volunteer work in Spain and learned to love Mediterranean food and speak Spanish. I finished my undergraduate studies and Dental school at the University of Nevada Las Vegas and graduated with Honors. After school I moved to Beaverton, Oregon to begin practicing dentistry. Shortly after beginning practice, I returned for additional training in IV sedation. I enjoy helping my anxious patients feel more comfortable while they are in my care. I'm a super lucky guy with two awesome kiddos who I love spending time with! Portland is our home. We love to hike and explore the incredible outdoors that surround us here! My education in dentistry has provided me with a strong foundation of knowledge and experience. I graduated Cum Laude from the University of Nevada Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine. There I gained advanced training in the area of Oral Surgery that most General Dentists don't receive. Shortly after graduation I attended a course on IV conscious sedation giving me the opportunity to help treat the most fearful patients comfortably. By regularly participating in continuing education, I am aware of the latest technology and dental treatments. My patients deserve the best, and continuing education allows me to provide my patients with more options and better results. I am truly blessed to live and work in such a wonderful community. I enjoy getting to know my patients and their families, and it is such an honor to know that I have made a difference in so many of my patients' lives. I couldn't ask for a better job or for better people sharing their smiles with me. I look forward to working with you!
