About Lakeview Dental Center
Based on 25th Street Southeast in the Southeast Salem area of Salem, Oregon, Lakeview Dental Center is a dental practice serving the area. Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.
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.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

I have been going to Lakeview Dental for well over 20 years, I wouldn’t go anywhere else for dental care. Dr. Zerr and the fabulous people who work there are amazing. I would highly recommend Lakeview to anyone looking for a great overall experience!
5 stars. The GOAT of dental clinics
Perfectly painless! Dr. Zerr and his staff are very kind, gentle and efficient. Pair that with the beautiful view and it makes a very enjoyable dental experience!
Had a great visit today!!!!!
Dr. Zerr has worked on my husband's teeth and also on mine. He and his staff have done a wonderful job on both of us. I would recommend him to anyone that needs work done.
Been coming to see Dr. Zerr and all at Lakeview Dental since 1999! My youngest son grew up here😊 I am soooo happy we took the referral from my friend.!!!!It is always ☘️a lucky day here!😊🌈
My husband and family have been coming here for over 15 years. We have been highly satisfied with the dental care. The doctors provide exceptional care and take time explaining dental treatment plans. Our kids still love getting a juice box and treasure out of the treasure chest.
My family has been going to Dr. Zerr for years. The staff is amazing. They are friendly and efficient. My family has cardiac issues and they are always doing their due diligence. Highly recommended!!!
I have recently started coming to Lakeview Dental, the staff and Dr. Baker have been excellent!! The front office staff from the manager + the PCC were so kind and welcoming, they helped me get an appointment super quickly, explained my insurance out of pocket cost to me and answered all of my questions as well as have been super accommodating with all of my bugging due to my pain! Dr. Baker is very kind, patient, honest and efficient! I would like to add that i have had to have some fillings done and Dr. Bakers shot in the mouth was a 10/10 experience, i didn't feel a thing (which in the past this was so painful) so i was super nervous, but he did amazing!!
I always have an awesome experience at Lakeview Dental. Carmen is the best hygienist ever and Dr Zerr gives the best shots. Since the pandemic theyve been very careful about their patients health, as well as theirs. I appreciate their kindness with my son, as hes not easy to work with. I’m so glad I have them to keep our teeth healthy and clean Chris
