Meet Dr. Peter B Amundson – Your Smile’s New Best Friend!

From the Midwest to the Mountains: A Dental Adventure

Ever wonder how a kid from Rockford, Illinois ends up crafting perfect smiles in the shadow of the Cascade Mountains? That’s Dr. Amundson’s story – a 30-year journey filled with cutting-edge technology, countless happy patients, and yes, some pretty amazing spicy recipes along the way! Back in 1995, Dr. Amundson graduated from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine with honors. In 1999, Dr. Amundson opened his first practice in the Denver area. The Colorado chapter got even better in Montrose, where Dr. Amundson didn’t just grow a thriving multi-doctor practice – he became the go-to mentor for other dentists through CEREC Doctors and the Frank Spear Faculty Club.

Bend: The Perfect Plot Twist

Now here’s where the story gets exciting. Dr. Amundson has chosen beautiful Bend, Oregon as his new home base, ready to continue Dr. Wold’s incredible legacy while bringing three decades of expertise to Central Oregon families. It’s like getting the best of both worlds – seasoned experience with fresh enthusiasm! The transition of the practice occurred in May 2025 and Dr. Amundson looks forward to continuing the best care for Dr Wold’s patients and team after his retirement of providing excellent dentistry in Bend Oregon for 30 years.

When He’s Not Making Smiles Sparkle…

Here’s where Dr. Amundson gets really interesting. When the dental coat comes off, you might find him conquering trails, carving up the slopes, creating culinary masterpieces in the kitchen (fair warning: he loves his spice!), exploring history, or discovering new flavors through wine and beer tastings.

The Bottom Line

Dr. Amundson believes dentistry should be anything but boring. With state-of-the-art technology, a gentle touch, and a personality that makes even root canals seem less scary, he’s here to prove that going to the dentist can actually be… dare we say it… enjoyable? Ready to experience dentistry that’s as refreshing as a Bend mountain morning? Your smile is about to get a serious upgrade!

Kayla – Dental Assistant

Kayla joined our team in January of this year and feels grateful to be starting a dental career in an office that values both patient care and professional growth. She was born in Anchorage, AK and raised right here in Bend, so it means a lot to be a part of a practice that serves the community she has always called home.

Outside of work, she is a mom to a spirited two year old daughter and a gentle (but giant) five year old Great Pyrenees. She has a deep love for art and creativity—whether its painting, pottery, leather work or simply finding beauty in everyday moments. She has traveled to nearly every state, and is always dreaming big, both personally and professionally. She is excited to continue learning, growing, and making people smile—both in and out of the office!
