Neal Bastian, D.D.S., M.S.D Professional Experience & Education: After completing his Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science at Brigham Young University, Dr. Bastian returned to the beautiful Pacific Northwest for his dental training. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Washington, graduating in the top of his class. He received numerous awards and accolades including induction to the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honor Dental Society, Earl C. Maston Scholarship for Excellence in Operative Dentistry, and the WSDA Presidential Scholarship. He then continued his education, specializing in orthodontics at the UW and earning his Master of Science in Dentistry, and certificate in Orthodontics. His research focused on athletic mouthguards for the orthodontic patient. Dr. Bastian also has extensive training in clear braces, Damon System®, Invisalign®, TAD’s (temporary anchorage device), and Laser gingival surgery. He is passionate about learning, constantly finding ways to improve his patient’s experiences with faster, more comfortable, and more reliable orthodontic therapy.
Hobbies & Interests: Dr. Bastian and his wife are natives of Snohomish and feel blessed to be able to work and raise their children in the PNW. Outside of life at Sullivan Orthodontics, Dr. Bastian has three of the sweetest kids and the greatest wife imaginable. He loves playing pickelball and swinging the golf clubs with his two oldest, Mr. Wilson and Mads (Madison). His youngest, Annabelle (Anna, Banna, Banjo, Angie, Annalita, and self-proclaimed Mini-Whack) is his true sidekick and is often swinging from his neck. As a UW Husky through and through, Dr. B thought it necessary to add another member to the family, a Siberian Husky pup, Masha. He loves to spend time striving for the greenest “crabgrass-free” yard or at the YMCA shooting hoops. Sometimes, he can be found watching Filipino Soap Operas to freshen up on his Tagalog which he is fluent in after living in Manila for two years. If it’s warm and sunny out, you’re guaranteed to find the Bastian family in the water at any of the nearby lakes. Dr. Bastian’s family is his life and his true happiness is the relationships he has with the many amazing members of the Fall City community.
