Meet Dr. Drangsholt

Dr. Connor Drangsholt was born and raised in Lakewood, WA, where dentistry has always been a part of his life. His mother, Dr. Beth O'Connor, is a general dentist, and his father, Dr. Ross Drangsholt, is an orthodontist. But the family connection to dentistry doesn't stop there, several of his relatives are also in the dental field, making it more than just a career path; it's a shared passion.

Growing up surrounded by conversations about patient care, new techniques, and advancements in the field, he developed a deep appreciation for the profession from an early age.

Dr. Connor attended the University of Oregon, earning his Bachelor of Science degree in 2019, before continuing his dental education at Oregon Health & Science University, where he received his Doctorate of Dental Medicine in 2023. After dental school, he returned to his hometown to work alongside his mother before taking over the family practice.
