Welcome to Madrona Dental Care

When I think about how I found my way into dentistry, it really started early. I grew up in the Tri-Cities in eastern Washington, and my family dentist lived next door. He used to tell me, starting around age 13, that I would make a great dentist. I did not fully listen until I was 23, when I shadowed him after college and realized this was a career where I could truly help people in a meaningful, hands-on way.

Come in with questions. Leave with clarity.

Whether you're in need of preventive care, restorative treatments, or a more complete understanding of your oral health, Dr. Gray and the Madrona Dental Care team are here to help.
