Biography

Doctor Alan Chen grew up in the Cedar Mill area, and after finishing college at Stanford University, he became interested in dentistry. He was introduced to Dr. Montrose by a family friend, who invited him to visit his office to observe and learn about the profession. He discovered dentistry was the perfect fit for his love of science, art, and caring for people. After graduating from the Oregon Health & Science University School of Dentistry in 2009, Dr. Chen completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency in 2010 and an Implant Fellowship Program in 2011 at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.

Words from Dr. Chen

Growing relationships with patients and providing them with excellent care and education is imperative to me, which is why I continue pursuing the advancement of my education. Implant dentistry has been an enjoyable aspect of my practice because of the rewarding experience of restoring a patient’s ability to smile and eat again, so they can continue to enjoy life with their family and friends.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and spending time with my wife and son, and Kirkie, our golden retriever. (We love Costco, so we named her “Kirkie”- as in Kirkland)
