Dr. Jordan West earned his bachelor’s degree in 2005 at Santa Clara University. After college, he chose to pursue dentistry and attended the University of the Pacific in San Francisco, California, where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2008.

Dr. West completed his Master of Science in Dentistry in Endodontics at the University of Washington, under the guidance of endodontic chair and director, Dr. James D. Johnson, DDS, MS, FICD.
Dr. West earned one of the top awards at the 2012 AAE Annual Session for his research on apex location using a novel obturation technique. In August of 2012, he joined his father, Dr. John West, and his brother, Dr. Jason West, at the Center for Endodontics in Tacoma, Washington.
Dr. West enjoys being connected with the education of Endodontics, as he serves as a clinical instructor of Endodontics at the University of Washington dental school.

Along with his passionate and caring nature, Dr. West brings a sense of calm and confidence to those he serves. He is committed to providing his patients with both exceptional technical skill as well as a sincere desire for their overall health and wellbeing.
As a proud uncle of six amazing and unique nieces and nephews Dr. Jordan West spends his leisure time with his incredible wife and the extended family. Depending on the season he can most likely be found skiing on the water in front of Fox Island or rushing the slopes of White Pass in the Cascades.

I have worked as Dr. Jordan West’s registered dental hygienist since he joined the practice in 2012 and have loved learning and growing beside him and his skills. I received my Associate Degree from Pierce College in June 2012 and then started working at The Center full-time starting in September 2012. From 2012-2013 while working full-time, I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree from Eastern Washington University. Currently, I own a home in University Place where I live with my pet bunny, Chester. During the weekends I can usually be found on a pool deck somewhere in Washington or Oregon coaching girl’s club water polo, but if I’m lucky I’ll occasionally be the one in the pool playing polo. If I’m not around a pool, I enjoy making memories with friends and family and spending time outside – hiking, skiing, swimming etc. In the next few years, I would like to start traveling more specifically to historical places such as Europe or tropical places like Tahiti. I love who I work for and the people I get to work with everyday. I can’t wait to see what the future holds here at The Center for Endodontics.

I received my Dental Assisting Certification from Bates Technical College in 2001. I’ve had the honor of chair-siding and laughing with Dr. John West from 2001-2012. Since Dr. Jordan came on board in 2012, I have had the opportunity to be by his side and watch him MASTER his endodontic skills. My husband Mike and I have enjoyed over ten years together hiking, biking, snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing, scuba diving, traveling and eating around the world. We team taught scuba lessons for a few years. Then in March of 2014 we welcomed our greatest adventure yet, our daughter. Being a mom changed me, however, you can still find me talking fitness and nutrition, singing throwback tunes and quoting old movies such as Steel Magnolias. I wish I could eat trail mix all day everyday and my guilty pleasure is Sea Salt Caramel Gelato. I crave coffee and sunrises and I am lucky to have a job I enjoy coming to each day.
