Dr. Hyatt’s Biography

Dr. Carrie Hyatt is a compassionate, reliable, and driven dentist who brings a patient-centered approach to every appointment. Originally from Yakima, WA, she was inspired by her own childhood dentist, whose kindness and connection with patients sparked her interest in the field. She also credits the confidence she gained from orthodontic treatment as a driving force behind her passion for helping others smile proudly.

Dr. Hyatt chose to join Willamette Dental because of the focus on preventive care and patient education, as well as the supportive team environment. She’s all about creating a calm space for patients—whether that means explaining each step, offering different ways to understand treatment, or letting patients listen to their favorite music during appointments.

When she’s not in the office, you’ll likely find her lounging by the pool with a good book and iced tea in the summer or cozied up with her two cats, Macaroni and Goose, for a movie night in the winter. And if there’s a concert nearby—she will likely be there!

I know you don't prescribe antibiotics, but you do require them for treatment. So a simple reminder at scheduling could have saved an inconvenience of my wasted trip and your time.

Both of my kids saw Dr Hyatt today for their routine check up and cleaning. She was very patience and gentle with my kids. They both love her chair side manners. Ashley took x rays for both of my kids, did a such a great job, one shot perfect X-ray. Brittney the hygienist did my daughter's cleaning, and Ashley did my son's cleaning. Both did a great job. My kids had a wonderful experience. Thank you everyone.
