Jerry Brown, DDS

I am most passionate about being a dentist for real people, solving real problems in light of each individual’s situation. I am passionate for people who are hurting, who are scared, and who need more than just a dentist sometimes. I am passionate about personalized care.

I appreciate the value dentistry brings to my life: having the opportunity to help someone else on a daily basis is something I strive for. It is a win-win situation for me. Working with so many unique people is exciting and interesting, and no two days are ever alike. I pride myself on not being a cookie-cutter dentist: each of my patients has unique dental needs and goals. I try not to assume what a patient needs or wants; rather, I try to hear what the patient wants first. I think this is missing in the world and I try to do this each day as best I can.

Education and continuing education

  • Undergraduate degree – Lamar University

  • Doctorate of Dental Surgery – Baylor University College of Dentistry

My commitment to excellence in patient care extends beyond what I do in the office. I attend many hours of continuing education courses and seminars each year, enabling me to keep fresh on the basics and expand my knowledge of new techniques. I believe my patients deserve nothing less.

Outside the Office

I am a Montana boy and grew up in Bigfork. I have been blessed to have the most amazing family. Enola, my wife and best friend, and I have five children: Marissa, Matthew, Madi, Maci, and Margo and one perfect grandchild, Roman.

My free time is spent with all the wonderful people in my life. I am humbled and honored to have the wonderful patients, coworkers, and friends that I do.

Colville is a unique town where you get to know everyone, and I am amazed at the talent and caliber of the residents. I do what I can in the community as long as it’s meaningful and truly helps others.

I gave my heart to Jesus in 1994. Each day I strive toward the goal of knowing Jesus more and trying to listen to His teachings. I have learned that the more I know and do, the further I have to go.

Bracken Sorensen, DMD

I am passionate about the work I do and enjoy being able to make a difference in peoples’ lives. Patient comfort and care are my first priority. Every patient that sits in my chair, I view them as if they were a part of my own family and treat them as such.

I completed my undergraduate education at Eastern Washington University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. I then moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I earned my Doctorate of Dental Medicine degree at Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine Arizona. At school, we were kept up to date on the latest technology and techniques. As a dentist, I understand that not everybody’s needs are identical and patients need to be treated as such. I have extensive experience in crown and bridge, oral surgery, endodontics and look to continue expanding my sleep apnea treatment knowledge. I am also a member of the American Dental Association.

I was born in Walla Walla, Washington. My family moved around a little before settling in Tri-Cities, Washington where I spent a majority of my life growing up. In my free time I enjoy hiking, golfing, being out on the water, snowboarding, traveling and spending time with my wife, family and friends. I am proud to be a part of the Healthy Expressions Dental team and we continue to do our best in providing quality patient care.
