Meet Dr. Graser

Dr. Colin Graser was born and grew up in the small Gulf Coast town of Venice, Florida. He attended the University of Florida in Gainesville, and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Biological Engineering. He received his dental degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2013, and received the American Academy of Periodontology student award for achievement in that field. Dr. Graser then moved to Portland, where he attended Oregon Health and Science University, and completed his residency in Periodontics in 2016.

After completing his residency, Dr. Graser completed the rigorous, two-year, two-part examination in order to become a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology. This Board certification is given to practitioners that have made significant achievements beyond the mandatory educational requirements of the specialty. Dr. Graser is a past president of the Oregon Society of Periodontists, as well as the Oregon representative to the Western Society of Periodontology.

When not at work, you would be likely to find Dr. Graser outdoors. Whether it’s hiking on Mount Hood, a backpacking trip in Utah, or going further abroad, he enjoys exploring new places and things!
