Tyler Buchanan, DDS

Family and General Dentist

Dr. Tyler Buchanan is a native of the Seattle area, and he loves practicing dentistry alongside his father Dr. Glenn Buchanan and the entire Gateway Dental team.

Dr. Tyler pursued his undergraduate degree at Rice University in Houston, TX, where he graduated in 2013. It was there he realized that dentistry would allow him to blend his strong science foundation and critical thinking ability into a career that is centered on patient care. He decided that dentistry was the career for him, and he continued his studies at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, CA. After graduating in 2017, he elected to return to Houston for a two-year General Practice Residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center. As the Chief Resident at UT Houston, he expanded the scope of his practice to include many oral surgery and advanced restorative dentistry procedures. Also critical to his program was providing emergency dental care at Memorial Hermann Hospital, Houston’s Level 1 Trauma Center. His most rewarding experiences were providing care to patients with special needs who had difficulty being seen in a traditional dental setting. Dr. Tyler returned to Seattle in 2019, and he has been practicing at Gateway Dental since 2021.

The Pacific Northwest is home for Dr. Tyler. He is involved with local dental societies, and he applies what he learns to the care he provides here at Gateway. On his days off, you’ll likely find him taking part in the vast array of outdoor recreation that Washington has to offer. He loves hiking, mountain biking, and paddle boarding in the summer, but his favorite activity is downhill skiing in the winter!
