He moved to Spokane to setup his solo practice in general dentistry, which he operates to this day. Dr. Sargent was one of the first General Dentists in the US to be certified for Invisalign orthodontic braces (Align Technology, Inc.), and one of the first in Spokane to be certified to restore implants, of which he remains active in research.

In 2007, he became certified to place dental implants, and was the first Gold Partner level general dentist in Eastern Washington with Noble Biocare LLC, the original and largest manufacturer of dental implants. He has been awarded a topDentists award for Family Dentistry three years in a row (2009, 2010 and 2011), nominated by his peers.

At present, he serves on the surgical staff at Deaconess Medical Center and Sacred Heart Medical Center, providing consult to cardiologists, and in consultation, examination and pre-surgical oral rehabilitation of patients prior to kidney transplants. He is also on the team for the Inland Northwest Thoracic Organ Transplant Program (heart transplants) at SHMC.
