Transcript:
Been in the Albany-Corvallis area my entire life. My family's been here forever. And my dad was a dentist and so growing up, to be honest, like, I wasn't sure that dentistry was actually something I wanted to do because I kinda wanted to just do something different than my dad. But over the course of, you know, growing up around the office and getting into college, I would often go with him to various, like, dental conventions and courses and things like that and I just realized how fascinated I was with dentistry and just the ability to work with people.
Like, I always knew I wanted a job that I had people, you know, that I could work with. Like, I didn't wanna have, like, kind of a solo type, be by myself type career. Seeing the combination of science, which I loved, science and the technology, and then being able to, like, use that to help serve and help people, I just thought I was just naturally in tune with wanting to do that.
My main passion in what I do, I guess, is that I get to work with people. You know, we have patients that range from, you know, very young to great, even great, great grandparents, and so, there's a lot of different stages of life and there's a lot of different needs. We certainly have patients that come in to see us that have great oral health, and they're just looking for a team to help support that. But we also have people that come in that have not had, you know, maybe good access to dentistry or various life circumstances or medical conditions. A lot of times those people feel, you know, embarrassed of their oral health or they feel like they've been judged, whether it be, like, in the work setting or applying for a job or even, you know, frankly at other dental offices.
The biggest thing that matters to me in our practice is having a team of people that, like, genuinely care about the people that are coming in. And the patients that we work with, like, all of our guests can get a hold of me personally if they wanna talk to me, I'm in it. I'm invested in them to help make sure I can help, you know, the person accomplish their own goals.
Dr. Carson Kutsch is a unique small-town dentist. He grew up in Albany and attended both George Fox and Oregon State universities before earning his doctorate at the prestigious Marquette University School of Dentistry in 2005. Each year, Dr. Kutsch attends extensive postdoctoral studies in clinical dentistry, enabling him to provide his patients with some of the latest advances in dental technology.
Dr. Kutsch is married to the love of his life, Hayley, and they have three kids, Keeley, Tavi, and Beckett. They also have a wonderful dog named Zeeta. The Kutsches spend most of their free time with family and friends.
Meet Dr. Devin Bowyer
Dr. Devin Bowyer is our newest face here at Kutsch Dentistry. We are excited that he joined the team in April 2023!
A graduate of Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, he especially enjoys the oral surgery side of dentistry and is excited to advance his career and knowledge in both the surgical and cosmetic sides of dentistry. One of his favorite things about his job is connecting with patients and learning their stories. Dr. Bowyer met his wife, who is also a dentist, while attending dental school. Together, they live in Newberg, OR.
Dr. Bowyer is originally from Texas but has come to love the beautiful Pacific Northwest, since living here allows him to participate in some of his favorite hobbies. He loves hiking, golfing, and kayaking. He also loves scuba diving with his family. His favorite place to dive has been Palau because of the diversity of the coral reef and marine life.
Something fun about Dr. Bowyer is that he loves Disney music! You might notice some Disney tunes in his chair next time you visit.
