About Dr. Cole R. Johnson, DMD
Dr. Cole R. Johnson, DMD provides dental care on Commercial Street Southeast in the South Gateway area of Salem, Oregon. Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth and corrects bite problems using braces, clear aligners, or similar appliances over a period that commonly runs from about a year to several years depending on the case. It is offered to both children, where early evaluation can catch developing issues, and adults at any age.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.
A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.
Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost. Use this page to find contact information for Dr. Cole R.

Best experience in town for orthodontic work! Great environment for kids and very kind staff. They also make it easy by offering a variety of payment options and really work with you, which was extremely helpful during tough times as a single parent and in the midst of Covid.
My experience as a new patient was phenomenal! I was recommended by my Orthodontist in Seattle when we moved to Oregon. Dr. Johnson & his team were so kind, very accommodating, professional, & thorough. I’m beyond pleased! I will definitely be bringing my son back for braces as well as recommending family & friends!!

He’s amazing , His staff is amazing and he’s big about his community and the kids Come first!
My experience at Johnson Family Orthodontics was FANTASTIC! When I first went there for my free consultation I was really nervous and worried it would be way to expensive. When I got there however it was great. They sat me down and explained everything clearly and help to make it work for me. They made me comfortable and they were so accommodating and friendly and the environment was wonderful. I knew right away that this was the place I wanted to go. During the process of having my braces I always looked forward to going to my appointments. Not only because I was one step closer to a perfect smile but also because I enjoyed my time talking with the staff. Cole Johnson, the head honcho himself, was so amazing. He truly loves what he does and loves helping people and is an all around beautiful person as are all of his staff members. I HIGHLY recommend going here for Orthodontic treatment. You wont regret it, I promise.
