Dr. Buck graduated from the University of Washington School of Dentistry in 1988. Early in his career, he co-developed one of the first mercury separators and became a founding partner of Rebec LLC. His dental practice was among the first in North America to implement a mercury separation system, preventing the discharge of mercury amalgam into the wastewater system. This pioneering initiative earned recognition from the governor of Washington State and contributed to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to mandate this technology nationwide for all dental practices.

Dr. Buck was one of the very first dental offices in Washington state to stop the use of amalgam filling material. In 1989 he became a “mercury free” dentist and went on to master the use of ceramic/composite bonded restorative materials and implemented safe amalgam removal protocols for his patients.

In pursuit of clinical excellence, Dr. Buck earned the prestigious Mastership in Neuromuscular Dentistry (LVIM) in 2008. He has been a featured speaker for Aurum Ceramic Laboratories and has led study clubs in both Seattle and Spokane, Washington. From 2009 to 2015, he served on the Board of Directors for the International Association of Physiologic Aesthetics (IAPA).

From 2013 to 2020, he served as Director of Orthodontics at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVIADS), one of the foremost postgraduate dental institutions in the U.S. Over 18 years at LVIADS, he held various roles including clinical instructor, regional director, and adjunct faculty in advanced TMD programs. In addition to his academic and leadership roles, Dr. Buck is a published author in peer-reviewed dental literature and a respected educator within the professional dental community.

In 2023, Dr. Buck completed a master’s degree in Orthodontics and Craniofacial Orthopedics from an accredited European university. He is widely recognized as a leading expert in TMJ treatment, neuromuscular dentistry, and sleep dentistry. With 37 years of clinical experience and a strong foundation in advanced dental education, Dr. Buck brings a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to patient care.
