Meet Dr. Cynthia Morris
From the Military to Private Practice
Dr. Morris completed her undergraduate education at Eastern Oregon University and Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon, where she graduated cum laude. With a desire to enter the medical field, she explored some options, including training as a dental assistant. This experience motivated her to attend Oregon Health Sciences University School of Dentistry.
After graduating in the top 10 of her class, Dr. Morris was accepted to the United States Air Force and stationed at a clinic in Okinawa, Japan. There, she rotated through several specialties including root canals, crowns and bridges, wisdom teeth extractions and pediatric dentistry. It was during this time that Dr. Morris became captivated by the sea, and that’s why you’ll see its calming effects all around at Sea Brite Dental.
The next step in Dr. Morris’ career was a transfer to M ,ountain Home Air Force Base, where she continued to hone her skills as a general family practice dentist. Around the same time, Dr. Morris and her husband adopted two children. With a desire to give them a stable life, she left the Air Force and entered private practice.
