Tristan Parry, DDS

“It sure is an exciting time for dentistry! There are so many wonderful ways to attain the smile you want and deserve. I look forward to helping you achieve the healthiest and happiest mouth possible!”

Dr. Tristan Parry was raised in a farming community in northern Utah. Growing up, his parents taught him and his siblings the importance of being honest, working hard, and being united as a family. Following his freshman year in college, he served a two-year mission in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This experience has given him the ability to interact empathetically with people in all walks of life. While abroad, Dr. Parry learned to speak Portuguese and developed a love of trying new foods. He completed his BA degree at Utah State University in cellular and molecular biology.

He then attended Ohio State University College of Dentistry and completed his DDS. He was a dental associate for a multi-location office in Charleston, South Carolina, and then moved to Lebanon, Oregon, for a wonderful opportunity to serve this community.

Dr. Parry and his wife, Liz, have three daughters. They live in the Eugene area and enjoy all of the outdoor activities available here in the Northwest. Dr. Parry volunteers as a Scoutmaster for the local Boy Scouts Troop. He and his family enjoy traveling, good food, the performing arts, and laughter – and they try to indulge as often as life permits!

Dr. Leah Hickson

“I want to dedicate my time and energy to serving patients by providing exceptional dental experiences.”

Comprehensive care means considering the health of the whole mouth as treatment is planned, rather than treating individual teeth when they are a problem,” says Dr. Hickson. “With comprehensive care, the end goal is optimum oral health. Treatment is almost always less expensive and extensive when teeth are restored before they become a problem.“ She says it is her goal to give patients the most complete information about their oral health status and then help them choose the treatment option that best fits their risk tolerance.

Dr. Hickson Graduated from Creighton University school of dentistry in 2007. She established her dental practice in South Eugene that same year and continued in her own private practice through July 2017. Joining our team in February 2018, she adds dental services such as Invisalign and Clear Correct, Cerec single day restorations, Gum Rejuvination and LANAP laser periodontal therapy to our Eugene practice.

Native to our area, Dr. Hickson grew up in Lane county and lives with her husband and two labradors in Pleasant Hill. She enjoys getting outside, hiking, camping, fishing and biking.
