Our Dentists
Dr. J. Kyle House, DDS, FAAPD
(Founder)
J. Kyle House, D.D.S.received his D.D.S. degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and served as a General Dentist in the US Army. While stationed in Giessen, Germany, he was given the opportunity to treat children and discovered that pediatrics was clearly his favorite field. He attended his Pediatric Dental Residency at Madigan Army Medical Center, Fort Lewis, Washington and the University of Washington. After leaving the Army, he spent five years as the Director of Pediatric Oral Medicine at Scott & White Hospital Systems in Temple, Texas. Dr. House completed his Pediatric Dental Board Certification in April 1996. In 1999, he moved to Oregon to open his private practice in Hood River, which has expanded to five clinics (three in Oregon and two in Washington).
Dr. House's main concern is advocacy and access to care for children. He has served on numerous local, state, regional and national organizations that work to improve children's access to dental care, and has testified on behalf of children on a national level, providing medical information to lawmakers. In addition, Dr. House is a Consultant to the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and has assisted in providing their Oral Clinical Exams since 2006.
Dr. House enjoys being an active part of the community and spending time with his wife, Jill, and his three daughters. His latest project is developing a vineyard and learning about winemaking and viniculture. He likes being outdoors and loves to cook, creating imaginative breakfasts, and – like a true Texan – can explain the critical differences between grilling and barbecue.

She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree with Honors from the University of Washington School of Dentistry. While there, she was a part of the RIDE program which is a specific educational track dedicated to training dentists to meet the needs of underserved populations. Following graduation, Dr. Lauren was honored to stay at the University of Washington and earned her Master of Science Degree in Dentistry and Certificate in Orthodontics.
After completing orthodontic training, Dr. Lauren earned her board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics. Dr. Lauren grew up in Redmond, WA and attended the International Community School in Kirkland, WA.
When not taking care of patients, she stays active enjoying all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. This includes riding and competing with her horse, biking, backpacking, and getting out on the lake. In the winter, the only place to find her is in the mountains, skiing.
