In 1977, Dr. Laurie graduated from the Oregon Health & Science University School of Dentistry in Portland, Oregon. He performed oral surgery to replace lost teeth with highly natural-looking dental implants in 1978 and never looked back. He has since placed over 5,000 dental implants for grateful patients.
During a stint of advanced dental education training at the prestigious Pankey Institute in Florida, Dr. Laurie developed his guiding dental care philosophy. In Search of Excellence is the phrase he always returns to when providing high-quality care for patients. His goal is to lead his team in providing caring and gentle dentistry for all his patients.
A highly respected oral surgeon in his field, Dr. Laurie has trained a host of his contemporaries in placing implants and restoring beautiful smiles. Dr. Laurie has excelled in all implant placements and restorations, including single tooth implants, bridges, implant-supported dentures, and also mini dental implants.
Outside of the office, Dr. Laurie enjoys traveling around the world helping people. He has worked with the humanitarian aid organization World Vision International, and has traveled to Peru and Honduras providing dentistry in orphanages.

From my initial call to walking out the door after my appointment I found everyone to be welcoming, interested, competent and engaged. Probably the best start to finish experience I've had at any business, dental or otherwise, in a long time.

I've been going to Dr Laurie and Ramona Dental Group since I was a kid and still do almost 30 years later! Even though I live about an hour away now, I still make the drive up the hill to see the most amazing group of dental professionals around. Everyone is so friendly, professional, and gentle on my sensitive teeth. Thank you for always taking care of me and keeping a smile on my face. You guys are the best!

I had an awesome experience as usual, everyone at Ramona Dental Group is so caring and does such a good job. My teeth feel squeaky clean and I never feel rushed or pressured. A cleaning feels more like a nice gum massage because the hygenists are so gentle and careful. Thank you for taking such good care of me
