He has completed hundreds of hours in advanced training for cosmetic restorations, implant placement and grafting, full mouth rehabilitations and many other areas of dentistry that are often referred out to specialists.

Active in the Coos Bay Yacht Club on Tenmile Lake, he races a Geary 18 sailboat with his oldest daughter and wife. The coast of Oregon has become home since 2004, and Dr O’Bryan has continued to become an integral part and supporter of our community here on the South Coast!
