SSPD Annual Meeting

Dr. Cody Mast
Dr. Cody Mast is from Bellevue, Washington, and is a son of a pediatric dentist and dental hygienist. Whether he stuffed patient statement envelopes on the weekends in elementary school, cleaned the office daily in high school, or sterilized instruments during summers in college, Cody was always involved in some form of pediatric dentistry. Dr. Cody completed his undergraduate studies at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon, and Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, Germany, where he met his wife, Kelley. He attended Nova Southeastern University in Florida for dental school and completed his training in Pediatric Dentistry at Indiana University, Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, IN, in 2004.

After completing his residency, Cody returned to Bellevue, WA, to join Bellevue Kid’s Dentist with his father, Dr. Larry Mast, and future partner, Dr. Jenny Lee. In 2007, Dr. Larry Mast opened a satellite practice in Snoqualmie, WA, and then sold both practices to Jenny and Cody in 2008.

After much research and collaboration, Cody and Jenny decided to merge both practices with 7 other specialists in Washington and Oregon, thus creating the group, PIP Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, Holdings LLC. Today, PIP employs more than 140 employees, and provides back end administrative services to 16 locations. PIP remains wholly owned and financed by the original dentist founders and partners.
