Our patients say it best
“Great first experience. Everyone was so friendly, from the front desk to the DA. All had a smile on their face and made it clear that they actually enjoyed working there. Dr. Kaufman was kind, knowledgeable, and answered all questions thoroughly. Thank you!”
Taylor D.
“What an incredible group of kind people! I appreciate them all explaining what, why and how they did things. Feeling educated and truly cared for”.
Alicia M.
“Equivalent or best service I’ve had at a dentist ever. And far superior to the lesser ones I’ve had. I always end up feeling discomfort at every cleaning regardless of attempts at gentleness but this was the least I’ve felt thus far”.

What should I do if I need an emergency dentist in Gresham?
Call us right away at (503) 912-2600. We offer same-day emergency care whenever possible, so don’t wait. In the meantime, here are some quick tips:
- Toothache? Rinse with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relief as needed. Avoid placing aspirin directly on your gums.
- Chipped or broken tooth? Save any pieces, rinse your mouth with warm water, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Knocked-out tooth? Gently rinse it without scrubbing, place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk and get to us quickly.
- Bleeding or swelling? Apply gentle pressure with gauze or a clean cloth and use a cold compress to ease discomfort.
Are same-day appointments available for dental emergencies?
Yes! We set aside time each day for urgent cases, so if you need fast relief, call us as soon as possible. We’ll do our best to see you the same day.
Why should I consider dental implants from Roots Dental?
Missing teeth? Dental implants are the most natural, long-lasting solution. At Roots Dental, we use advanced technology to ensure precision, comfort, and seamless results. Whether you need to replace one tooth or an entire arch, we’ll help you restore your smile with confidence.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with missing teeth are great candidates for dental implants! The best way to know for sure is to schedule a consultation. Dr. Kaufman will assess your oral health, bone density, and overall needs to determine the best treatment plan for you.
