Meet The Expert
I’m Blake J. Perry, the owner dentist with over 20 years of experience. I’m known for Implant and cosmetic dentistry. What makes me different is the in-depth relationships I have with my clients. This is my key to your success. When it comes to cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry, giving you exactly what you want is paramount. Also, I have advanced technology and experience in all phases of implant dentistry. I don’t refer you to multiple offices.
After graduating from the University of Iowa, College of Dentistry in 2002, I served as an F-16C Pilot in the United States Air Force. I’ve been lucky to have served alongside some of the smartest people in the world. This world-class leadership experience has been vital is forming the group of professionals that we have today.
I’ve also been involved in The Kois Center for dental excellence here in Seattle, WA, International groups of implant dentists, CEREC Doctors Education in Scottsdale, AZ., All of these efforts have a way of making all types of dentistry easy to explain. These world-class dentists have been fundamental to my success.
For the past eight years, I’ve been giving back to my local community through free dentistry to domestic violence survivors with AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry), Nurses during the pandemic, and in a remote area of Nicaragua with Circle of Empowerment.
I currently live in Mount Vernon, WA. My wife Shannon and three kids, Oscar, Frannie, and Luke, all enjoy the challenge of Surfing and Skiing. We also love the walking meditation of hiking and time together with campfires and beautiful trails for mountain biking here in the Pacific Northwest.

I started out in dentistry as an assistant where I greatly enjoyed working closely with patients and doctors providing care and education to the public for close to 10 years. I transitioned to front office administration where I continue to enjoy working with patients applying and managing insurance payments as well as ensuring maximum utilization of benefits.
Helping patients navigate the world of insurance here at Perry Family Dentistry is both rewarding and challenging. The team here at Perry Family Dentistry was a great fit for me because we are more like family than coworkers, and we all have the same goal of providing excellent care to patients.
When not in the office you can find me spending time with my daughter, camping, fishing, boating, or spending time with friends and family.

Lead Dental Assistant
Hi, my name is Gracie and I have been a dental assistant for going on 7 years. Dental assisting is something I really enjoy! I attended a running start program at the technical academy in Mount Vernon when I was in high school in 2012. It was there that I saw how much dentistry can impact people’s lives, and that’s what drove me to dentistry.
I graduated high school in 2013, received my pre-reqs from Skagit Valley College, and graduated from the dental assisting program at Bellingham Technical College in 2015. I have been working for Perry Family Dentistry since 2016.
It has always been my goal to make sure patients are comfortable and understanding of their treatment. I love being part of a patient’s smile transformation.
Outside of the office, I enjoy exploring new places, spending time in the sun, camping, and mostly anything to do with the outdoors.

Dr. Braunstein is proficient in all aspects of dentistry and equipped to manage medically compromised patients, efficiently assess urgent needs, think critically and perform appropriate treatment.
