Dr. Garrett Gunnel, DDS
The thing that excites me most about dentistry is that I never know what amazing challenge awaits when I see a patient for the first time. No two patients are the same and it’s like a puzzle I get to solve to help each patient to their satisfaction. My patients come from every walk of life, and it always amazes me how happy they all are. No matter where they are or what is going on, they have good attitudes. This always humbles me and makes me appreciate all of my blessings.
I take being a dental professional very seriously. My patients come to me needing my help with dental issues and place their trust in my abilities. I try to treat everyone as I would treat my own family—by giving them my professional opinion and allowing them to make the choices that are right for their unique situation.
EDUCATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION
I was born in Mesa, Arizona where I also finished my undergraduate studies. I then pursued my Doctorate of Dental Surgery at Indiana University School of Dentistry
Dentistry is always evolving and I like to be on the cutting edge. This requires me to participate in many continuing education courses and be active in professional organizations like the American Dental Association and the North Carolina Dental Association.
OUTSIDE THE OFFICE
My wife Lexy and I have three sons, Grant, William, and Benson. They mean everything to me and are the reason I work so hard to be a better person every day.
We live in Arden, North Carolina, and love it here! We enjoy hiking and taking in the beautiful mountain scenery. My hobbies include fishing, camping, and sports—anything that gets me outside!

Raised in a small town outside Vancouver, Washington, Dr. Dallin King comes from a family with deep farming roots in Idaho. His father’s job brought the family to Washington, where Dr. King grew up as the youngest of three boys and the third of four siblings. During high school, he developed a passion for running, playing the drums, and spending time with friends.
After graduating high school, Dr. King dedicated two years to serving a mission for his church in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Upon returning home, he soon ventured to college in Idaho, where he met his wife. They have been married for nearly nine years and are the proud parents of two beautiful boys, ages four and almost two.
Dr. King discovered his interest in dentistry midway through high school. Initially unsure of his medical career path, his fascination with dentistry grew after shadowing a few local dentists. His adeptness with his hands, honed through drawing, arts, auto work, and tool handling, made dentistry a perfect fit for him. He pursued his dental education at Roseman University in Utah, where he also completed his AEGD residency.
Dr. King enjoys all aspects of dentistry, including oral surgery, implants, molar root canals, full mouth cases, and complex removable procedures. In his free time, he loves fishing and spending quality time outdoors with his wife and children.
