Meet the Dentists
Dr. Sean Cooper
Dr. Cooper always knew the health care industry was the right place for him. He enjoys combining science with proven techniques to help children to live their healthiest lives. Watching a child who is hesitant to visit the dentist transition into a kid who loves dental visits warms his heart.
Dr. Cooper grew up primarily in the Midwest and studied at the University of Missouri. He moved to Salem, Oregon, in 1997 and founded Spinnaker Pediatric Dentistry in 2000, where he’s been ever since.
Outside of the dental office, you’ll find Dr. Cooper sailing, hiking, and fishing. He is a self-proclaimed sci-fi nerd and is well known for his dad jokes. Married to his beautiful wife, Cheryl, who is a general dentist, Dr. Cooper is dad to two adult children. His life philosophy is that life is meant to be experienced. He subscribes to the belief that we should all find what makes us happy and go after it with everything we can muster!
EDUCATION:
- Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Dental Surgery, University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry (1988-1994)
- Pediatric Residency at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha (1997)
Dr. Amanda Day
Dr. Day decided to work in the dental field as it combines her love of science and art and involves working one-on-one with people every day. The thing she most loves about being a pediatric dentist is seeing families grow over the years. She loves helping her young patients and is truly thankful to have wonderful coworkers who are just as dedicated to delivering the highest quality dental care.
Dr. Day always wanted to work with children and taught English in Japan after college. There she met her husband, who is English. They moved to Oregon in pursuit of temperate, rainy weather similar to England. They are parents to one son in grade school, who wants to be a rock star “Lego master.” He keeps his parents very busy!
Outside of work, Dr. Day enjoys gardening, swimming, hiking, and walking. She also loves exploring new parks with her family and cooking because it helps her to relax.
