Dr. James Barnum, DMD

General Dentist

Dr. James Barnum, DMD, is the most recent addition to Port Dental Care, having moved to North Port, Florida from Oregon. His initial exposure to dentistry was when he was trained as a dental technician by his father. The two worked together for nearly 10 years. After graduating from Portland State University with a general science degree, he then graduated from Oregon Health Science University in 2008 and has owned several practices in Oregon before relocating to Florida. 



Dr. Barnum enjoys spending time with his wife and five children! He has been captivated by Florida’s gardening opportunities, fishing and beach-fun. Other hobbies/interests include playing the Guitar, Bass Guitar, Trumpet, and other instruments including voice! 

“Dentistry for me blends craftsmanship and my compassion for people. I thoroughly enjoy working with others. I’m also a tool-guy and there are a ton of neat tools and technologies I get to work with here at Port Dental Care!”

Dr. Barnum looks forward to meeting you and delivering a different and more comfortable style of dentistry that many have not experienced.
