Meet Dr. Aaron Bynum

He moved to Boston, Massachusetts where he earned his DMD at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 2014.

After earning his doctorate, he headed west to practice dentistry and to be closer to his family, many of whom live in Portland. Aaron has since fell in love with Oregon, where he spends his free time hiking, salmon fishing, skiing, surfing, and playing music with his band.

Aaron loves practicing dentistry because of the artistry involved. He also prides himself in helping his patients improve their oral health and overall wellbeing by providing quality dental care.
