Willamette Dental has been providing quality dental services to patients in the Pacific Northwest for more than 30 years. Each dental care provider upholds our mission to deliver superior patient care through a partnership with our patients. Clinically, we strive to stop the dental disease/repair cycle by implementing evidence-based methods of prevention and treatment. In doing so, each of our more than 660 dental professionals have adopted the latest approaches to dental care, which are supported by credible scientific findings.
In our practice, we use the best available scientific evidence combined with clinical experience and patient circumstances to direct treatment. Because of this evidence-based approach, our dentists have moved away from the role of repair technician and assumed a broader role of healer. In this role, they assess risks and develop appropriate treatment plans for each patient.
A key to this philosophy is our emphasis on preserving the patients natural tooth-structure and preventing dental disease. By using proven techniques, including non-surgical methods of treatment, our practitioners can help to prevent or even reverse dental disease. As a body of dental care professionals, our practice emphasizes providing only the appropriate treatment that will lead to the optimum oral health of our patients.
