Dr. Kuhn’s Biography

Dr. Parker Kuhn is known for his attention to detail, compassion, and personable approach to patient care. His journey into dentistry began as a child after a basketball injury led to a chipped front tooth—an experience that introduced him to the profound impact a caring and skilled dentist can make. That early encounter inspired him to pursue dentistry and provide the same level of comfort and confidence to his own patients.

One of Dr. Kuhn’s proudest moments came when a patient, after several appointments, looked in the mirror and said, “Thank you, Dr. Kuhn, for giving me my smile back.” Seeing that transformation reinforced his commitment to restoring not just healthy smiles, but self-confidence.

Dr. Kuhn was drawn to Willamette Dental for its evidence-based, patient-centered philosophy that aligns with his own values of empathy and quality care. Outside the office, you’ll likely find him at a sporting event, enjoying the outdoors, or spending time with his wife and daughter—activities that keep him active, grounded, and connected.

I do not want the dental assistant who treated me for this appointment be assigned to me again. My apologies, I do not remember her name, it was an early morning appointment. It took her a very long time to place the cord around my tooth at the gum line for the new handheld xray scanner which then took three times to scan with rough handling. She also complained about the new handheld scanner certification process during the appointment. She was distracted talking about the health issues of her dog for the first 15 minutes of working on me with Dr Kuhn. I had to signal for suction multiple times and ended up ingesting a lot of foul tasting fluid. I left with more swelling than I should have for the prep that was done that day.

When getting my teeth cleaned it was the best I ever had. In the past I had some bad experiences where the person was rough. This visit she was truly amazing and took her time with me and was attentive. Great service!

Waited over 10 minutes to schedule an appointment, chose the call back option and then couldn't take the call. Then waited 30 minutes on the phone to try again making an appointment. Should offer an online option to scheduling an appointment.

My experience was fantastic. I especially appreciated my hygienist and her work and just how, you know, she was always checking in with me to see if I was doing okay and is there any pain? Are you doing okay? Is that strong enough or too strong or what do you need? And I really appreciated that because sometimes people don't listen to you. So thank you. It was awesome.

For being so scared of the dentist for all three of us. They told us everything they were doing each time and they even took time with my kids that have sensory issues.

I will not be seeing this dentist again. He is not good at giving shots and gave me 4 pokes without any numbing whatsoever. I was in pain for the procedure and it was grueling. I did tell him no when he attempted to numb me by poking the roof of my mouth with no numbing gel first, because by that time, I was fed up with ineffective and painful shots. I own that the pain at the end was of me choosing the lesser of two evils. I have always been completely happy with the treatment and dentists at Willamette, but this was not the norm I have come to expect.

Special thanks to Dr Kuhn and staff for calming my anxiety! Having a teeth extraction was causing extreme anxiety and they did their best to walk me thru it and provide the pain medication needed. I did not feel almost anything at all!!
