Dr. Eric Rose

Dr. Eric Rose is proud to serve the community where he was born and raised. A Tri-Cities native and graduate of Richland High School, Dr. Rose went on to complete his undergraduate studies at Washington State University before earning his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Midwestern University in Arizona. His deep connection to the Tri-Cities community and passion for health care led him back to his hometown, where he has been a dedicated member of Clearwater Dental since 2014. In 2017, he became a partner, continuing the practice’s legacy of family-focused, community-centered care.

Dr. Rose has always been drawn to health care because it allows him to combine his love of working with his hands and his desire to help others. As a dentist, he thrives on treating a diverse group of patients and finds it deeply fulfilling to support people in achieving their healthiest, happiest smiles.

It's All About Relationships

Dr. Rose finds great joy in building trusting, long-term relationships with his patients. For him, dentistry is about truly understanding his patients, connecting with them personally, and creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels like part of the family. This close-knit philosophy extends to the Clearwater Dental team, many of whom are Tri-Cities natives. Together, they’ve created a practice that reflects their shared values of community, care, and connection.

A Family Man with a Passion for the Outdoors

When he’s not in the office, Dr. Rose enjoys spending time with his wife, Shelby, and their two sons. Whether he’s coaching his boys or playing alongside them, golf has become a cherished family activity. Dr. Rose enjoys staying active through other sports, hosting friends and family for barbecues, and smoking various meats.

A Unique Childhood Memory

Dr. Rose’s interest in oral health might have started when he was two years old. After a fall from a rocking horse injured his tongue, the wound healed completely without stitches. As he got older, all that was left was a small scar, and he became amazed by the body’s ability to heal itself.
