About us
Did you know? All orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are orthodontists. While many dentists will take brief training seminars in order to offer isolated orthodontic treatments to their patients, orthodontists such as Dr. Durk Irwin receive two-to-three additional years of specialized training after they become dentists. Read on to learn more about Dr. Irwin’s extensive education and training.
Durk began his education at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. After earning a Bachelors Degree in Science, he moved on to Oregon Health Sciences University, where he received his D.M.D. (Doctor of Dental Medicine) degree. Dr. Irwin gained experience practicing General Dentistry in Astoria, Oregon for a year before entering his orthodontic residency at New York University School of Dentistry. He earned his specialty certificate in orthodontics from NYU in 1997 and has been engaged in the private practice of orthodontics in the Vancouver, WA area ever since.
The field of orthodontics is always changing. From techniques to approaches to the materials being used, there is always something new to explore. Dr. Irwin stays abreast of these changes in order to provide his patients with the fastest, highest quality, and most comfortable treatment options available.
