Dr. Sass attended our very own Oregon Health Sciences University and earned his Doctorate in Medical Dentistry. With a special interest in surgery, he continued his education with a residency program at the VA Hospital in San Diego, California. Brian completed rotations in the oral surgery, anesthesiology, head and neck, endodontic, prosthodontic and general dentistry departments of the hospital. Brian is certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and maintains a license in deep sedation practices. Brian's training has given him the opportunity to expand his technical abilities in the most difficult of clinical situations.
Missing the amazing Northwest, Brian returned to Portland, where he has been fortunate to practice dentistry with a devoted and deeply caring dental team. His skill and dedicated work ethic, as well as over 20 years practicing, makes him a strong ally to his patients and community. Brian is a member of the American Dental Association, Oregon Dental Association, and the Multnomah County Dental Society. He stays current in dentistry through continuing education and participates in a Southeast Portland Study Club. Brian works with Compassion SE's non-profit dental clinics.
In his spare time, Brian enjoys restoring his early-century home, excited to turn something from being worn out to beautiful again. He and his wife, Katie, enjoy spending time outdoors with their Bernese mountain dog, Scout. You may catch him riding his vintage motorcycle in the neighborhood or reading up on vintage cars; however, he is mostly content relaxing at home with his daughters, Geneva and Carmela.
Why Dr. Sass likes our office and thinks YOU should too: Our office strives to be comfortable! We want you to feel like we are all one big neighborhood family!
