Comprehensive Dental Exams

Your dentist will thoroughly examine each of your teeth, your gums, and your bite to ensure that you have excellent oral health. If they notice anything during your dental exam that requires your attention, they will let you know and help you make a treatment decision that works best for you. We recommend dental exams at least every six months. If something comes up between your regular dental visits, give us a call so we can check it out.

Personalized Dental Cleanings

Has it been a while since you’ve had your teeth cleaned? No worries — we can help you get back on track. Our hygienists are gentle and do a great job of cleaning your teeth in a way that promotes healthy gums. They’re also a great source for information on home care and helpful products that will help you achieve your oral health goals.

Digital Dental X-Rays

Dental x-rays are an essential part of your preventive dentistry treatment because they allow our dentists to see beneath the surface of your teeth and identify any instances of decay or other conditions that put your oral health at risk.

Digital dental x-rays are safe and emit about 80 percent less radiation than traditional film x-rays. Our dentists can adjust the digital images to get the best view and make early diagnoses when conditions are often easier and less expensive to treat.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride can protect enamel from decay or an acidic environment. We recommend fluoride for anyone who suffers from cavities, even though they brush and floss regularly, and for patients who have gum recession.

Sealants

Dental sealants create a protective barrier on your back teeth by filling in the deep grooves of your molars, which are often the most likely to develop decay. Sealants are a non-invasive procedure, and you will not need an anesthetic while they are placed. They are also a fraction of the cost of fillings and can last up to five years.

Nightguards

A clenching and grinding habit can destroy your teeth while you sleep. Cracked and chipped teeth are common with teeth grinding, but this habit can also cause your jaw to become inflamed and painful, as well. A custom nightguard is a comfortable and non-invasive way to protect your smile if you grind your teeth.

Athletic Mouthguards

Don’t let sports ruin your smile! A custom mouthguard will not inhibit comfortable breathing but will protect your teeth from a rogue fly ball or aggressive hockey stick.

Our patients say it best

“This Dentist took me in last minute to extract a tooth. They are very polite and a very caring team. This is absolutely the best Dentist in Portland, OR I have ever been to. He was very gentle also I felt no pain at all.”

“Dr Kaufman and the whole team are amazing! I had not seen the dentist is over 5 years due to the pandemic and they were so kind and understanding. They recently moved to a new location which is even more convenient for me. I look forward so seeing them again!”
