Meet the Doctor
Tyson Beck, DDS
Dr. Tyson Beck was raised in the Tri-Cities and graduated from Kennewick High School in 2001. He then left home to serve a two-year mission for his church in Spain. In 2008, after receiving his Bachelor of Science in biology from Brigham Young University-Idaho, Dr. Beck started dental school at Creighton University in Omaha, NE. While at Creighton, he was honored to receive the One World Clinic award and be inducted into Alpha Sigma Nu, a Jesuit University’s highest honor. After dental school, Dr. Beck commissioned as a dental officer in the US Army and spent five years at Fort Bliss, TX. His first two years he worked in the dental unit, and then was transferred to a Combat Team where he was responsible for the oral health of 4,500 soldiers. Dr. Beck had the opportunity to practice dentistry in unique environments, including three rotations at the National Training Centers as well as a deployment to Afghanistan. Through the Army, he received advanced education and training in numerous specialties, including oral surgery as well as crown and bridge treatments.
In 2005, Dr. Beck met the love of his life Katie, and they were promptly married in 2006. Together he and his wife have four children: Logan, Lyla, Lincoln, and Lizabeth. His family is by far the most important aspect of his life. They like to camp, swim, hike, go to the movies, and simply spend time together. Dr. Beck knew he wanted to work in the dental field ever since he was a little boy. He loved going to the office with his dad, especially to treat patients with emergencies. He remembers being amazed that his dad was able to relieve pain for so many people, and he wanted to have that same impact.
