Preston Dekker D.D.S., Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon

About Me

Dr. Preston Dekker is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon who joined Gentle Dental in March of 2024 after recently moving back to the Pacific Northwest. Dr. Dekker graduated summa cum laude from Arizona State University in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences. He attended the University of Washington School of Dentistry in Seattle, Washington, where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2018.

Dr. Dekker completed his comprehensive surgical training at the University of Illinois Chicago Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency Program, where he served as Chief Resident.

While at the University of Illinois Chicago, Dr. Dekker was mentored by some of the nation’s leading oral and maxillofacial surgeons, gaining expertise in all aspects of the specialty. He rotated through five hospitals in the surrounding Chicagoland area that further solidified his surgical training, including UI Health Hospital, Northwestern Hospital, Lurie Children’s Hospital, Christ Advocate Hospital, and Jesse Brown VA Hospital.

In addition to years of surgical training, Dr. Dekker has published research articles, co-authored a book chapter, and presented his research at several national meetings. Most notably, he presented at the American Academy of Craniomaxillofacial Surgeons Conference, Chalmers J. Lyons Academy of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Conference, and at the American Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Conference.

Prior to pursuing his surgical career, Dr. Dekker lived in ten different states, much of which was due to playing ice hockey for over 15 years. After a stint of playing junior hockey—and a couple chipped teeth and lip lacerations—he realized he could combine his passions for hockey and surgery. Dr. Dekker was one of the team doctors serving as an oral and facial surgeon for the 2023 Stanley Cup Champion Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League.

In his spare time, he enjoys playing men’s league hockey, golfing, snowboarding, playing guitar, hiking, and traveling. Dr. Dekker is excited to provide compassionate and patient-centered care through Gentle Dental. He practices the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery with special interests in facial trauma, full arch dental implant rehabilitation, microneurosurgery, and orthognathic surgery.

He is dedicated to using his surgical knowledge and abilities to improve the quality of life of his patients. Dr. Dekker has a natural ability to relate to others and befriend those around him, which has always earned him the trust and respect of his colleagues and patients.
