Our Story


The Willamette Falls in Oregon City, Oregon

Viewing the Waterfalls


When viewing the Willamette Falls, the emotions and experiences of a new Dentist and the pioneers who crossed the Oregon Trail to reach Oregon City exhibit both similarities and striking differences. Dentists and pioneers shared a sense of achievement, with the former completing years of education and training while the latter arrived at the falls, marking the end of a perilous journey. Both groups also experienced relief, as dentists conquered academic challenges and pioneers survived a physically demanding journey. However, their contexts greatly diverged. The dentist’s journey was characterized by intellectual growth within a structured academic environment, while the pioneers' expedition involved venturing into uncharted territory, facing physical dangers and uncertainties. Despite these disparities, both groups experienced awe and anticipation - the dentist for their professional career, and the pioneers for the natural beauty of the falls and the promise of a fresh start.
