Dr. Railand graduated from OHSU with clinical and academic honors where upon graduation she was inducted into the OKU dental honor society. Since graduation, Dr. Railand has devoted much of her continuing education to the study of oral and systemic health or simply the mouth-body connection. She is devoted to using the least invasive, least toxic evidence-based approaches to dentistry, evaluating the entire person, and understanding how the cranial facial, oral, and dental components fit into this whole-body system.

Through her passion to treat patients with this philosophy, she sought out and worked with the late Dr. Douglas Cook who is considered by many to be one of the founders of the whole-body approach to dentistry. Dr. Railand worked as an associate of Dr. Cook for a few years before starting her own practice, Holistic Dentistry of Port Washington located north of Milwaukee WI. While in private practice Dr. Railand provided all aspects of dental care ranging from functional orthodontics to ceramic implant placement and full mouth rehabilitations. Dr. Railand has exceeded continuing education requirements many times over with great enthusiasm to provide the best care possible. She believes that by working as a team and sharing our knowledge we can accelerate our learning curve. This has been demonstrated through the long-standing and supportive friendship Dr. Railand has had with Dr. Delong since their years as students together at PSU and OHSU. Dr. Railand and Dr. Delong stayed in touch reviewing complex dental cases, sharing new improved techniques, and inspiring each other as they moved through their dental career. When Dr. Railand decided to sell her practice and move her family back to the beautiful nature of Oregon, it made perfect sense to join Dr. Delong and his team. Dr. Railand is excited to work with Lotus Dental Wellness to continue to grow and raise the expectations of what can be achieved to help optimize our patients’ overall health.
