Practice Location

Gentle Dental Albany Pacific

717 SE Geary Street, Suite 102
Albany, OR 97321

Why Albany?

Located in the heart of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Albany offers the charm and community of a smaller city with easy access to some of the best the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

You’ll be close to Corvallis, Salem, and Eugene, with the Oregon Coast and Cascade Mountains within reach for weekend adventures. The area offers plenty of hiking, rivers, parks, local restaurants, and outdoor recreation, without the pace and congestion of a larger city.

It’s a great place to put down roots, build meaningful patient relationships, and enjoy a little more breathing room while still being connected to the rest of the Willamette Valley.

If you’re looking for an opportunity where you can use your skills, grow as a provider, and make a meaningful impact while being supported by a strong dental team, we’d love to meet you.
