Dr. Kirk was born and raised in Aberdeen, WA. He attended the University of Washington, graduating with a degree in Zoology. He then went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI, graduating in 2000. After returning home to the Northwest to begin his career, he joined Dentus in 2007 as an associate and then became an owner /partner in 2009. He happily makes his home in Vancouver with his wife Sara, daughters Audrey (12) and Ellie (9), and a rescued Labrador Retriever named Annie.
He enjoys all facets of general dentistry and loves the variety that it brings. He is also very proud of the staff that works at Dentus. I feel very lucky to work with such a great group of people. Everyone here is not only very good at their job, but are also wonderful and caring people. They are responsible for the great atmosphere here at the office and make practicing dentistry easier and more enjoyable.
When not working in the office, Dr. Kirk enjoys spending time with his family; watching basketball and football; reading; riding his bicycle and hiking. He volunteers and serves on the board of the Cascadia Technical Academy Dental Program.
Dr. Angells engaging personality and gentle chairside manner are two qualities that keep clients returning to this practice. She truly listens to her patients and their needs. Though she was born in the Midwest she also calls the Northwest home. Bringing the feelings of home and comfort to her patients is a daily focus. She uses techniques that provide this sort of comfort to those who tend to experience anxiety while receiving dental care, including complimentary oral sedation.
With nearly 15 years of experience and a progressive approach to dentistry, she is skilled in treating patients of all ages. Dr. Angells talents extend well beyond general dental care. She has special experience and training in dental reconstruction, with a conservative approach to saving and repairing damaged teeth. Additionally, Dr. Angell has rejuvenated numerous smiles by skillfully placing and restoring dental implants. She is proficient at third molar (wisdom teeth) extractions and all aspects of surgical procedures. Dr. Angell continues to stay current with all parts of her practice by proactively incorporating the techniques and processes that are the very best for those she serves.
From Minnesota to the Netherlands, Dr. Angell boasts a rich educational history. The University Of Minnesota School Of Dentistry provided an outstanding foundation for her chosen field. Her studies in the Netherlands included advanced bonding techniques that resulted in a greater knowledge of tooth-colored restorations.
In addition to her passion for Dentistry, Dr. Angell is an outdoor and environmental enthusiast who loves a great hike in the Gorge, good friends, and a good IPA. 'Dr. Jacque', as she is called by many of the children in her life, currently shares her home with two of her God daughters and is thrilled to be a direct part of their college years.
Volunteering her time and talents for the benefit of those in need is vastly important to Dr. Angell. Her service to others extends far beyond the walls of Dentus Dental Center. Lives and smiles have been enhanced by Dr. Angell all over the world, as she spends significant time volunteering locally, nationally and internationally. Soon she will donate her time and talents to those in Togo, Africa.
Some of Dr. Angell's Favorite Organizations/Activities: Stream Stewards (through Clark County's Watershed Steward Program) Mazamas (She's working on summiting all of our local glorious glaciated peaks.) Whale Watching Spoken Here - Oregon State Dept. of Natural Resources Vancouver Bicycle Club Yoga (Dr. Angell is a Certified Yoga Instructor.) Evergreen4kids.org (benefits the community of Habanero, Dominican Republic) Medical Teams International - Portland, Oregon / Remote Area Medical CA New Heights Clinic - Vancouver, WA Project Overcoat - Union Gospel Mission Portland, OR
Dr. Christopher Pearce completed his bachelors degree in biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin and received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Minnesota. Dentistry, along with his sense of adventure, has taken Pearce to multiple countries, including Guatemala and Uganda for volunteer work and clinical training in Bergen, Norway. Dr. Pearce began practicing in Bellingham and returns to the Pacific Northwest to join our team after practicing for several years in Madison, WI.
Dr. Pearce appreciates that each patient is unique and the best care is accomplished by working together, using evidence-based decision-making. Whether its restoring confidence or improving functionality, Dr. Pearces satisfaction as a dentist comes from improving the lives of his patients. His skillset includes endodontics (root canal treatment), surgical procedures, cosmetics, and clear aligners (as an alternative to braces). Dr. Pearce has also completed advanced training in implant placement and restoration. He finds helping his patients to replace a single tooth or an entire smile to be particularly rewarding.
When not at work, Dr. Pearce enjoys food, the outdoors, and his family. He is looking forward to becoming involved in the community and is excited to explore all that the area offers in temperatures that rarely fall below freezing. He will never pass up an opportunity to talk about his wife, bird, and dogs.

Honestly the best dental experience I have ever had! First time I went to Dentus Dental was the week before I had my daughter. I had pain in a part of my gum and they needed to do a new patient appointment with x-rays. Since I was pregnant, they worked with me to split my appointment into 2 appointments so they could help with my issue and do the x-rays after my daughter was born. At my second appointment, I had no one to watch my daughter since my husband was at work. I was able to bring my daughter with me and when she started to fuss, one of the hygienists took her for a walk through the office. Everyone at Dentus Dental are so kind, welcoming and accommodating. They made being a new mom and trying to figure out appointments so stress free. Dr. Kirk is wonderful! He is professional and down to earth. My husband hates going to the dentist and even he enjoyed his experience with all the staff. I highly recommend going to Dentus Dental for all your dental needs! You receive great care, it's too the point, no pressure to do more work than necessary and overall experience is very enjoyable.

I was looking for a new dentist and Dentus Dental was recommended to me. I called and they got me in for a new patient appointment that same week. The staff was friendly, the process was easy, and the dentist and hygienists were very knowledgable and professional. Highly recommend!

I've been going to Dentus Dental for many years. The office staff, dentists and hygienists are super friendly and very professional. You are treated like a friend and they do excellent work in a comfortable environment. My favorite doc is Dr. Angell and favorite hygienist is Cassie! I've also had the pleasure of being treated by their newest dentist, Dr. Pearce, who is also top notch! Best dental care in Clark County!

Amazing staff and wonderful Dentist. Switched to this practice because I was quoted 2k in dental work from my previous dentist. Came for a 2nd opinion because I could not believe I "needed" that much work done and my new treatment plan cost was 1/10th of what I was previously quoted! Needless to say I'm so grateful I sought a 2nd opinion here and was able to get all the work done in less than 2 weeks!

Going to the dentist isn't my favorite thing, but these folks are so friendly and caring. They were able to get me in quickly to take care of a minor issue and went above and beyond getting me set up for my next appointment.

I continue to trust Dentus dental Center with my dental bridgework. I tried several different dentists in the area before I found this one. They are sincerely committed on keeping my gums and teeth healthy. I moved north 6 years ago, and I still come back into town twice a year for care. I don't let just anybody touch my teeth

My family has been going to Dentus Dental for last 15 years. For all that time we were treated with excellent care. I had several different hygienists yet they all have been equally good and knowledgeable. All 3 of us are being seen by dr. Angel. She is great dentist and a person, which she proves every time we see her and by devoting her time every year for volunteerism in mainly less developed countries. I can honestly recommend this dental office to all my friends and family. Stll all great.

I have had an implant done by Dr. Angel and I am thrilled with the results. I always receive the best treatment and cleaning here. I have moved to Salem Oregon and continue to make the drive, because they are worth it!
