Meet Dr. Arvind J. Petrie

MY PATH TO DENTISTRY

“Generosity is giving more than you can, pride is taking less than you need.” — Khalil Gibran

I have always modeled my philosophy of care after this quote, but coming from a family full of engineers the shoe didn’t fit for me. I am an OUTLIER. A creator. A coach. A father. A leader. A grinder. I was born and raised outside of Seattle. Graduated from the University of Washington and completed my doctorate of medical dentistry (DMD) at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine Went on to complete an advanced education in general dentistry (AEGD) in Spokane and returned home to found my private Petrie Advanced Dental.

Petrie Advanced Dental was opened in 2013. Personal, professional, progressive care is my immediate priority. Healthcare is very personal business, so should be the relationship you establish with your dentist. I have a sworn oath to care and heal my fellow man, brother, and community. Call it the physicians oath. I consider myself not just lucky, but blessed and privileged, to do what I do. I place my heart and soul into the people I care for and work with. The work we do and the team I work with are exceptional.

Petrie Advanced Dental is also a progressive office where we implement the latest proven materials, techniques, and technologies in the care we render. I have been using clear aligner orthodontics for over a decade and have modeled my dentistry with an occlusion based philosophy (less is more). I helped found and serve on the board of the AACA (American Academy of Clear Aligners) for several years and currently serve on the faculty board for Candid Clear Aligners. I continue to mentor and teach clear aligner methods and materials to doctors across the country.
