What I love most about what I do is helping people nd condence with a smile they love. Too often people feel insecure and self-conscious about their teeth. Whether youre an adult or a teenager, no one should have to live this way. What we've see is that when people smile big, they live with greater confidence. Dr. Trujillo

Dr. Trujillos formal education began by receiving the highest scholarly honor from Bill Gates: a full-ride scholarship to any US University of his choice. With a strong passion for art and science, Dr. Trujillo knew early on that he wanted to pursue a career in the medical profession. He graduated from the University of Portland where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology. While there, he studied piano, was a nationally nominated academic All American swimmer, and swam for United States Swimming for Oregon and Hawaii Masters. His studies took him to Chaminade University of Honolulu as part of an exchange program, and to the University of Notre Dame-Australia, where he received a Certificate of International Studies.

Dr. Trujillo earned his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the Arizona School of Dentistry, graduating as Valedictorian, and subsequently completed a Graduate Certificate of Public Health at A.T. Still University. He then finished a two-and-a-half-year residency at the University of Oklahoma, receiving his Certificate of Specialty in Orthodontics and earning a Master of Science degree in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.

Dr. Trujillo has achieved board certification through the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO), the only orthodontic specialty board recognized by the American Dental Association and in affiliation with the American Association of Orthodontists.

Dr. Trujillo understands the importance of using the best treatments in order to create the best results for his patients. He stays current with the latest and greatest orthodontics has to offer relative to Invisalign, TADs, and other contemporary techniques.

Dr. Trujillo was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, and after completing his residency, returned home to the Great Northwest. He and his beautiful wife, Angela, were married in 2007. Their first daughter, Mia, was born in 2013, and theyre also the proud parents of two miniature dachshunds, Cody and Lacey. In addition to Dr. Trujillos love of his family, he has a special interest in travel and culture. To say that he is an outdoor enthusiast would be an understatement! Much of his free time is spent hiking, biking, swimming, and camping.

The honor of being a Bill Gates Scholar introduced Dr. Trujillo to service and academic and professional leadership. It is an experience that he now passes on to other young people as a mentor, not only for the Bill Gates Millennium Scholars Foundation, but in his office for patients with college and scholarship applications as well.

Community involvement and service is one of Dr. Trujillos greatest passions. He loves the plateau neighborhood, the families who live here, and his involvement in the Sammamish area. He looks forward to growing with this amazing community for many years to come.

We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.

I am so happy to be part of the Ortho Plateau Tribe! I joined the office in January of 2018 as the Financial Coordinator. I love working with families assisting with their financial and insurance needs. I have lived in Sammamish for 19 years and found ways to put my business degree to work volunteering in the schools and with athletic and charitable organizations. Now I enjoy seeing my neighbors and friends as patients. Coming back to work after taking 18 years off to raise my daughter and son has been fantastic especially because of the wonderful and talented people I work with.

My name is Calyx and I joined Orthodontics on the Plateau in 2012. As an orthodontic assistant, I can be found in the back working on patients making sure they have a positive and fun experience with us. Orthodontics has been my passion for a very long time so I completed a dental assisting program in my hometown, Reno, Nevada, in 2010. I am honored to be able to work with such an amazing community of people here in Sammamish.

I attended Pima Medical Institutes dental assisting program. I was so blessed to join the positive, caring atmosphere at Orthodontics on the Plateau during my externship and subsequent hiring. I am responsible for greeting our patients, preparing for procedures, pouring up models, and creating retainers. The most rewarding part of this job is watching smiles transform. It is incredible to look at the before and after photos of each patient. Seeing the joy that patients get at the end of treatment is amazing!

As our community relations coordinator, I work to promote our business and share with people our commitment and dedication to orthodontic care and wellness. I love working here at Orthodontics on the Plateau! Dr. Trujilo brings a very high level of education, dedication, and enthusiasm to our practice. The atmosphere in our office is both professional and lighthearted. Our team is full of bright individuals who have amazing talents. They are both professional and personable and bring a smile to work to share with our patients every day. Its both a joy and an honor to be a part of our team!

My husband Doug and I have lived in Sammamish for the past 25 years. We have raised our two grown children, Olivia and Beau here. We were both involved in our childrens schools and sports and spent many hours volunteering in our community with coaching and PTSA work at the schools.

Now that we are empty nesters, my husband and I spend a lot of time enjoying the great outdoors, hiking, biking, skiing, snowshoeing, and traveling mostly to southern California these days with both our kids there (one in college and one working). When Im not with my family, whom I adore, I can be found with my loyal companion, my five-year-old English lab, Mack!

I joined Orthodontics on the Plateau in 2016 as our scheduling coordinator. Meeting and greeting our patients and their families is one of the highlights of my job. I love watching the progress and final reveal of their amazing new smiles, and seeing their newfound confidence. Our office is made up of the best and brightest in the orthodontic community. Dr. Trujillo and our team make working here a dream!

My wonderful husband Paul and I live in the area and really enjoy the Sammamish plateau and all the outdoor activities nearby. We have boy/girl twins who are in high school right now and they make us proud every day. They would attest that the most important member of our family is our Miniature Schnauzer mix, Scruffy, who we rescued nine years ago! As a family, we enjoy movies, hiking, and skiing together whenever possible. Traveling is probably our biggest passion and we've got our sights set on Europe next!

As a specialist in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, Dr. Trujillo has the training and experience you expect from an elite healthcare professional. He uses only the finest materials and products to ensure your smile results exceed your expectations.

Our team takes the time to truly get to know each of our patients. We are committed to providing the best experience possible with no compromises on quality care. We pride ourselves on being fun, welcoming, and personable in all that we do.

We have the latest advances in orthodontics available, including Invisalign clear aligners and TADs, in addition to cutting-edge imaging technology and supplies. For braces, our office uses Avex Opal braces to provide the best and most accurate results. Through extensive continuing education, Dr. Trujillo and our staff are able to stay up-to-date on state-of-the-art orthodontic solutions.

Community involvement is a high priority at Orthodontics on the Plateau. We have great opportunities for our patients to engage in goal setting, academic mentorship, community service, and fun contests. After all, Sammamish is our home, too!

The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) was founded in 1929. It is the oldest and most prestigious specialty board in dentistry. The ABO's aim is to elevate the standards of the practice of orthodontia, to familiarize the public with its aim and ideals, and to protect the public against irresponsible and unqualified practitioners.

To become board certified, an orthodontist has to pass a rigorous set of written and clinical examinations, as well as a comprehensive review of his or her credentials. The initial process of becoming board certified can take anywhere from five to ten years. Once certified, the orthodontist must become recertified every ten years to maintain board-certified status.

A board-certified orthodontist, also known as a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, has been voluntarily examined by his or her peers on the basis of knowledge and clinical skills. Becoming board certified signifies the orthodontist's pursuit of continued proficiency and excellence in orthodontics.
