Thurston has its own identity. The Highway 126 corridor, the Thurston Hills Natural Area, Thurston High pride, the cul-de-sac neighborhoods tucked into the eastern side of Springfield. We see Thurston families regularly because we're closer than most realize. From Main Street Thurston, you're at our Centennial Boulevard office in about 10 minutes. Whether you're a long-time Thurston resident, a Mountaingate or Quail Run homeowner, or someone who just bought one of the new Woodland Ridge builds, we welcome the chance to be your dental practice. Dr. Matthew Collins lives in the Eugene-Springfield area himself, so the same dentist treating your family knows the same Highway 126 route home you do.
Thurston Subdivisions
Thurston covers a wide area on the eastern side of Springfield. Here's where our Thurston patients tell us they live.
The historic heart of the original Thurston community along Main Street, with the post office, Albertsons, and the local shops residents have used for decades.
Homes tucked into the hills with mountain and valley views, including properties backing up to the Thurston Hills Natural Area's 10 miles of hiking trails.
The Quail Run community with its quieter cul-de-sac streets and family-focused layout. A common starting place for new families settling in Thurston.
A newer development with available lots for custom builds. Several of our newer Thurston patients are families who just moved into Mountaingate homes.
The newest Hayden Homes community, with single and two-story builds in an established Thurston neighborhood. Easy access to Main Street and Highway 126.
The mid-century ranch homes and split-levels that make up much of Thurston's housing stock. Many of these families have been our patients for years.
Living in Thurston
Thurston was its own town with its own post office before being annexed by Springfield. That history still shapes how locals see themselves today.
Highway 126 connects Thurston to the rest of Springfield, the McKenzie River corridor to the north, and the Cascades to the east. Our patients use it daily.
10 miles of hiking trails, valley views, and Mt. Pisgah on the horizon. The kind of backyard that keeps Thurston families here for generations.
One of Springfield's two main public high schools. Thurston pride runs deep in this community, and it's one of the first ways locals identify their neighborhood.

Why Thurston Patients Drive a Few Extra Minutes
Thurston has dental options, including some practices closer to home. Here's what brings Thurston families to our Centennial Boulevard office instead.
From a kindergartener's first checkup to a grandparent's dentures, we treat every age under one roof. Thurston families with multiple generations don't have to coordinate appointments at three different practices.
Many practices push through patients on tight schedules. Dr. Collins takes the time to explain what he sees and what he recommends, so you leave understanding your situation, not just having had work done.
We're not in Eugene, Coburg, or somewhere far from your daily route. We're another part of Springfield. The kids' school district, the local news, the community calendar are the same ones you already pay attention to.
About 10 minutes from Main Street Thurston, just off Highway 126. Easy parking right at the office.
