About Riverfront Dental
Riverfront Dental operates on Water Street Northeast in the Grant area of Salem, Oregon. Implants are considered by many dentists the most durable way to replace a missing tooth, since the titanium post fuses with the jaw bone over several months and then supports a crown that functions much like a natural tooth. Enough healthy bone is the main prerequisite, and a graft can build that up first if needed.
A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.
Cosmetic treatment is generally the least invasive branch of dentistry, built around changing how teeth look rather than fixing something broken. Whitening and bonding sit at the lighter end; veneers and reshaping involve more planning. Most cosmetic dental insurance excludes this kind of work, since it is elective rather than medically necessary.
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Its reputation for being painful is largely outdated — carried out under local anaesthetic, it typically relieves pain rather than causing it.
A crown covers an entire damaged tooth — used when too much structure is missing for a filling to hold reliably, whether from a large fracture, extensive decay, or after root canal treatment. It restores both the shape and the biting strength of the tooth underneath.
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth to crowns placed on the teeth either side of the gap, creating a fixed replacement rather than a removable one. It is a longstanding alternative to an implant, particularly when the neighbouring teeth already need crowns.

Great people, they take time to listen to their patience and explain what needs to be done and give a good treatment plan. Everyone that I have talked to at the office was friendly.
Amazing staff, made me feel very comfortable. I had not been to a dentist for about 10 years, they made the process so easy and explained everything as they went. Im glad that I have found them
Always a pleasant appointment; professional service and real personable. They give you good treatment and takeaway advice. David Smith
The office front desk was very easy to make an appointment, and they are very thorough, and understanding of my dental fears. This is my first dentist change in 20 years and I was quite anxious. Everyone was great, communicative, and gentle. I did not once experience pain, not even for a second. They also have a tv and headphones to distract you, along with great views of the river. The office is clean and welcoming. I will definitely come back. I got a filling. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ + 💎
Always very nice and profesional. Great place to go. My tooth broke got me right in.
I haven’t had proper dental care in 6 years. They didn’t shame me or make me feel bad about it. I have some pain in my mouth and they were super gentle. Very grateful for my experience with Dr. Howe and his team. Looking forward to my next visit.
Well, I have had some issues finding a good dentist here in Salem. My research and persistence paid off! Riverfront Dental was absolutely amazing. Dr. Howe is a wonderful Dentist. Very thorough, explained everything to me. He did such a great job working on my teeth and I’ve had a lot of work on my teeth. So I was very happy to meet a dentist who is so helpful and honest. Rachel and Angie at the office are so thoughtful and professional, and all in all, I had a great experience and I recommend them highly.
Dr. Howe and the whole team at Riverfront Dental were fantastic from start to finish. The office is bright, clean, and calming; check-in was quick and I didn’t wait long. Dr. Howe’s calm manner always put me at ease. — I left feeling well cared for and confident in my oral health. Highly recommend for anyone looking for professional, friendly dental care.
If you have to go to the dentist it could not be any better than Riverfront Dental. The team goes out of there way to make you feel welcome and the view of the river is very serene. They explain everything to the hilt and leave you with no unanswered questions. I highly recommend them!!
I fell and broke my front tooth early one morning. Riverfront Dental was able to see me the same day. My tooth was fixed and I was back to work so quickly! Everyone on staff was kind and knowledgable. The building has a lovely view. Fantastic place to go for dental work!
