About Pacific Crest Dental Group of Salem
Pacific Crest Dental Group of Salem is a dental practice on Liberty Street Northeast in the Central Area area of Salem, Oregon. Periodontics is the specialty focused on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease, related surgical treatment, and — in many practices — dental implant placement, which sits naturally alongside that training.
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.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.
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.

James and his assistant were great and did great work on my daughter. Fast and very caring about patient's amazing people amazing care. Will definitely be coming back
Dr. James and his assistants treated me today with x-rays, a routine cleaning, and two cavity fillings. They were kind, gentle, and got the fillings done quickly. This was the best dentist experience I have had and will be back for another cleaning in the future.
The dentists and whole staff are kind and compassionate, and they genuinely want to help you become healthy. And if you are fearful of dental work, you won't be fearful here. The staff is encouraging without judgment or shame.
So glad my insurance company referred me to Pacific Dental Group. The staff is so pleasant, kind, and professional. They are always willing to answer any questions and provide the best plan of care. I really enjoy coming to the dentist now!
Absolutely amazing care... The doctors and staff are friendly, kind, and professional. Thank you!
Attentive, informative staff and doctors. Offer full services from cleaning to implants, very professional and well done. When our family dentist retired I was afraid of having to find a new one. Very impressed and happy with over a year of services here at Pacific Crest
Leslie always does such a good job cleaning my teeth. She's so personable.
The dental care at this company is outstanding! I recently had a root canal done by Dr. James Bonar. His friendly and professional attitude, his excellent skills, and his continuing concern about my health are exceptional! All of the staff are welcoming and helpful! I highly recommend this outstanding business!!!
Fantastic service, caring and quick.
I have been getting my dental work done here for over 45 years. I have always received the best of care. The whole staff is professional and educational in treating and preventative care. It’s nice to have your dentist take extra time to talk to you and discuss your dental treatments and what the plan will be in the future. I’m 74 now and thanks to Pacific Crest I walked out again with a clean bill of teeth. Casey Campbell
The Bonar brothers are excellent dentists! Their approach is very compassionate and modern. I can tell they are always incorporating the best practices into their practice. :) They also have a caring team of dental hygienists. Leslie is my favorite. She is very thorough but also responsive to my needs. I can be a bit nervous around dentists but this team has proven to be trustworthy and they treat patients with empathy.
