Westover Dental Clinic

4.9(567)·1.9 km from Portland Downtown
96Smyleee

Suite 209, 2250, Northwest Flanders Street, Northwest Portland, Portland, Oregon

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 8 AM

Documented for porcelain veneers in Portland, with affordable dental care on the service list and 16 procedures on file.

Read full description

Westover Dental Clinic is at suite 102, 419 NW 23rd Avenue in Portland's Northwest District — on NW 23rd Avenue, known locally as the Trendy-Third, one of Portland's most vibrant and walkable commercial streets. NW 23rd runs through the Nob Hill neighbourhood with its Victorian-era homes, independent restaurants, boutique retail, and tree-lined residential side streets. The NW 23rd Avenue address puts this practice within the walkable shopping and dining heart of Northwest Portland, accessible from the surrounding Nob Hill, Forest Park, and Goose Hollow communities.

NightLase is listed as a specific service — a Fotona Er:YAG laser treatment for snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea that heats and contracts the soft palate tissue, reducing the airway soft tissue laxity that causes sleep-disordered breathing. NightLase requires no oral appliance worn during sleep and no pressurised air delivery — it treats the airway tissue directly through photothermal contraction. For the Northwest Portland patient demographic, which includes health-conscious residents familiar with laser-based aesthetic treatments and open to non-invasive medical interventions, NightLase provides a distinct alternative to conventional sleep apnea management methods.

TMJ/TMD treatment and sedation dentistry are listed alongside NightLase — clinical services that reflect a practice attentive to the comfort and functional health of Northwest Portland patients beyond standard restorative care. Dental sealants for paediatric preventive care cover the household preventive scope for Nob Hill and Northwest District families. General dentistry covers the preventive and maintenance needs of the surrounding community.

Crown and bridge restorations, dental bonding, veneers, and teeth whitening cover the restorative and cosmetic range. Dentures handle the complete prosthetic replacement cases. Extractions and professional cleaning complete the routine care scope for the NW 23rd Avenue patient community.

For Nob Hill, Northwest District, and Forest Park patients on NW 23rd Avenue who want a general dental practice with NightLase snoring and sleep apnea treatment, TMJ assessment, and sedation dentistry in the heart of Portland's Trendy-Third, the suite 102 address at 419 NW 23rd Avenue provides that combination.

Terwilliger Dental

4.0(109)·5.5 km from Portland Downtown
76Smyleee

Suite. 200, 7405, Southwest Barbur Boulevard, Southwest Portland, Portland, Oregon

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 10 AM

Pediatric Dentistry focus in Portland, with affordable dental care listed among 10 documented services.

Read full description

Terwilliger Dental provides dental care on Southwest Barbur Boulevard in the Southwest Portland area of Portland, 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.

Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.

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.

Dentures replace some or all of the natural teeth in a jaw with a removable appliance, custom-fitted to the mouth. A full denture replaces every tooth; a partial fills gaps where some natural teeth remain. Because the jaw bone reshapes over time, dentures typically need adjusting or remaking periodically.

Pediatric dental care is built around treating children specifically — dentists with additional training in child development and behaviour management, and offices designed to make a first visit unintimidating. Guidance generally points to a child's first dental visit around age one or within six months of the first tooth.

A family dental practice sees a range of ages under one roof, which for most households means fewer separate appointments across different offices. It typically covers routine checkups and restorative treatment for both children and adults, with referrals out for anything requiring specialist training.

Broadway Dental Care provides dental care on Northeast Sandy Boulevard in the Hollywood area of Portland, 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.

Cosmetic dentistry covers treatment aimed primarily at appearance — whitening, veneers, bonding, and reshaping among the more common options — for patients who are less concerned with a problem that hurts than with how their smile looks day to day. The right combination depends on what specifically you would like to change.

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.

Dentures replace some or all of the natural teeth in a jaw with a removable appliance, custom-fitted to the mouth. A full denture replaces every tooth; a partial fills gaps where some natural teeth remain. Because the jaw bone reshapes over time, dentures typically need adjusting or remaking periodically.

Professional teeth whitening uses a peroxide-based gel, applied under supervision at a strength stronger than anything sold over the counter, to lift years of staining from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. It works on natural enamel only — existing crowns, veneers, and fillings keep whatever shade they were made in. Contact details for Broadway Dental Care are on this page, along with the full list of services offered — reach out to ask about scheduling.

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 7 AM

Dental Implants is the documented focus in Portland; Affordable Dental Care sits within 12 services on profile.

Read full description

Northwest Portland Dental operates on 2250 NW Flanders St #109 in Portland, 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 family dental practice sees a range of ages under one roof, which for most households means fewer separate appointments across different offices. It typically covers routine checkups and restorative treatment for both children and adults, with referrals out for anything requiring specialist training.

Crowns and bridges are fixed restorations — a crown covers a single damaged tooth, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the crowns of the teeth on either side. Both commonly last a decade or more with routine care. Use this page to find contact information for Northwest Portland Dental and to see its full range of services before getting in touch.

How to Choose a Dentist in Portland

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
