Dr. Dustin Hamren

Dentist
Dr. Hamren was born in Anaheim, California. After turning one, his family moved to Utah where he was raised along with his four brothers and three sisters. He always had an interest in dentistry, but as a child assumed his teeth weren’t perfect enough to ever become one. Luckily he convinced himself otherwise! After serving a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the hollers of West Virginia, he returned home where he met and married his wife Brianna. Dr. Hamren graduated from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah with a Bachelor degree in Exercise Science. Dr. Hamren and his young family then moved to Florida where he attended LECOM’s School of Dental Medicine. He joined the Viewmont Family Dentistry team in 2019 after graduation. Dr. Hamren and his wife take joy in the beauty and variety of North Carolina and each season here. They love the welcoming and kind community of Hickory and are grateful for the many friends that have become family. Dr. Hamren is a busy father of five, with three boys and two girls. When he isn’t in the office, you can find him coaching his kids’ sports teams, playing outside with his family, cooking new creations, or researching and pursuing a new hobby. He enjoys games of all kinds – video, computer, boardies, and the ones he makes up to entertain his wife and kids. Dr. Hamren is grateful to be part of the Viewmont team and Hickory community.
