Meet The Timberhill Dental Team
Our Dentists
Dr. Charles Eric Jones
Dr. Charles Eric Jones (call him Eric!) values hard work, dedication, and excellence in all that he does. He is a decorated US Air Force veteran and worked through school using the GI Bill and working nights and weekends.
After having worked in his own practice, Jones Family Dental in Brookings and Ashland for the last 16 years has joined Timberhill Dental.
His approach to care is simple and focuses on excellence, patient experience, and education. Through dentistry, he believes he can improve everyone’s life!
Dr. Lavarne
Dr. Lorena Lavarne earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston. She has dedicated her career to providing compassionate, high-quality dental care, serving patients in both private practice and community health settings. Her focus has always been on building trust, promoting oral health, and helping people feel confident in their smiles.
Her approach to dentistry combines clinical excellence with a genuine commitment to patient comfort, ensuring that every individual she treats feels heard, respected, and supported. Patients appreciate her warm, thoughtful manner and her ability to make even the most anxious visitors feel at ease.
Outside the office, Dr. Lavarne enjoys exploring Oregon’s scenic trails and shares a love of motorcycle riding with her husband — adventures that keep her grounded and inspired both personally and professionally.
Dr. McMaster
Dr. Daniel McMaster completed his undergraduate degree at Portland State University, graduating in the top 10% of his class (Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society). He went on to complete his doctorate at Oregon Health and Sciences University. He is kept busy by his three young children alongside his demanding wife Katie. (Joking! She is great!) They also have two canine children, “The General” and “Bucky” in addition to their gray cat “Ralphie”. It’s pretty much a full house and always an adventure in their household. They enjoy spending time shuttling the kids to sports, visiting Disneyland, RV camping, and swimming.
From Dr. McMaster:
“Treating patients with genuine care and understanding is the heart of my practice philosophy. My goal is to first listen, then observe and seek to understand the individual needs of my patients. I want them to know we are working toward the same goal, which is to establish and maintain ideal oral health and esthetics. To accomplish this, I strive to continually educate myself as a provider by investing my time to stay informed regarding the newest technologies, dental materials, and the latest advancements in dentistry.”

Giving Back & Our Commitment to Community

Mouthguard Day
Over the years, we’ve made custom mouthguards for hundreds of local athletes. We love how sports help young people to develop leadership and teamwork skills, stay active, and see the value of working hard towards a shared goal.
Each year, we set aside a day where we work with local schools to provide free mouthguards. Our mouthguards help protect an athlete’s teeth when playing contact sports. Tooth loss can lead to lifelong dental health issues and we’ve heard from many parents who say that a mouthguard helped save their child’s tooth!
The Candy Dentists
In the Corvallis area, Timberhill Dental is affectionately known as the home of the “Candy Dentists” because of our innovative efforts to reduce tooth decay.
Since 2003, the Dollars-Not-Decay candy buyback campaign has purchased a total of more than 12,000 pounds of Halloween candy from local kids for $1 per pound — and made matching donations to some great local charities, too. We love seeing how excited kids get about having a little spending money while protecting their teeth at the same time!
