Introducing your Portland dentists

Dr Jonathan Gold , DMD Roots Dental Broadway

Dr. Jonathan Gold , DMD

General Dentist

Dr. Gold graduated from OHSU dental school in 2010. Immediately following this, he and his wife moved to New Orleans, LA where he practiced for 9 years. There he treated mostly underserved families. This experience taught him to work with his patients to find personalized solutions to their needs. During those years, Dr. Gold also spent time volunteering at LSU dental school, working with first-year students starting to enter the field, furthering his passion for teaching and dentistry. Dr. Gold was born and raised in the Portland area and grew up with a love of skiing, wakeboarding, flying kites, and riding motorcycles. For college, he went to Whitman College and received a degree in Rhetoric/Film Studies and a Science degree from Portland State University. When not at work you can find Dr. Gold at the park with his son, Asher, cheering on his 49ers, or cooking. “I am very excited about the opportunity working at NE Dental Associates can provide me to expand my scope of practice and bring my brand of humor and lightheartedness to this office.”
Dr. Clark Brinton, DMD Roots Dental - Broadway

Dr. Clark Brinton, DMD

General Dentist

Dr. Brinton graduated from the OHSU School of Dentistry in 2013 as the class valedictorian. During his third and fourth years, he was selected as one of two students to train under Drs. Stanley Malamed and Ken Reed in IV sedation as a member of their mini-residency program.

He practiced general dentistry in New Mexico from 2013 to 2017, devoting much of his practice to IV sedation and dental surgery, including dental extractions, removal of impacted wisdom teeth, and dental implant surgery. Dr. Brinton credits his high level of experience and education in a short time to his commitment to continued professional education and training.

He holds education in such high regard that he is the CEO of Hero Dental Education, where he trains another dentist in hands-on dental implant surgery techniques, including dental implant surgery, restorative, complications, and All-on-4 implant retained dentures. His current course offerings are available at www.dentalimplanthero.com 

Dr. Brinton and his wife, Kjerstin, have three young children, Annika, Hanna, and Sven. In their free time, they love to enjoy the outdoors, whether on foot, bike, or skis.
