Dr. Brianna Hammer earned a Bachelor of Science in Zoology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison before completing her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 2015. She joined Orono Dental Care upon graduation and has been an owner in the practice since 2019.

Dr. Hammer enjoys providing a full range of dental procedures; from basic care like fillings and crowns, to root canal therapy, and dental implant surgery & restoration — combined with a particular passion for airway health and dental sleep medicine. She is a proud member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and an AADSM Qualified Dentist, reflecting her advanced expertise in crafting custom oral appliances as a comfortable, effective alternative to CPAP therapy for patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.

Committed to lifelong learning, Dr. Hammer has also pursued some of dentistry's most rigorous continuing education pathways, including training through the Kois Center and Spear Education. She is a member of a local Spear Study Club. She is a graduate and Ambassador of The Breathe Institute, where she deepened her knowledge of airway-centered care and tongue tie management for all ages. She is also a member of the American Laser Study Club. Believing that the best outcomes emerge from collaboration, Dr. Hammer co-founded the Airway Wellness Collective — a local interdisciplinary monthly study club bringing together providers across disciplines to coordinate care and advance patient well-being.

Outside of the office, Dr. Hammer enjoys pottery, her “book” (wine) club, and making the most of Minnesota's seasons — whether that means time with friends and family or escaping to the nearest lake. She is hoping to nail a wakesurf 360 someday soon!
