UNE Oral Health Center

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

General Dentistry focus in Portland; children / pediatric dentistry is implied by specialty rather than listed directly, with 1 services on file.

Read full description

<p>The UNE Oral Health Center is located at 1 College Street in Portland, Maine — the teaching dental clinic of the University of New England College of Dental Medicine, situated on UNE's Portland campus in Maine's largest city. The University of New England is a health sciences-focused university with campuses in Biddeford and Portland, and the UNE College of Dental Medicine at the Portland campus operates the Oral Health Center as the clinical training environment for its dental students under the close supervision of licensed faculty dentists. Teaching dental clinics provide a distinctive model of care: treatment is performed by dental students who have completed their pre-clinical training, with every procedure reviewed and supervised by experienced faculty dentists — ensuring safety and quality while providing dental care at fees significantly lower than private practice.</p> <p>The UNE Oral Health Center provides general dental services for patients in Portland and across southern Maine, with availability open to community members who accept the teaching clinic care model. Services include comprehensive oral examinations, dental radiographs, professional cleanings, tooth-colored fillings, crown preparations, extractions, and other procedures within the scope of a dental school clinical curriculum. Appointments at teaching clinics typically take longer than private practice visits due to the supervision and educational components of care, but the fee discount — often 40-60% below private practice rates — makes the UNE Oral Health Center a valuable resource for cost-conscious patients, uninsured adults, and patients who face financial barriers to private dental access in Portland's otherwise expensive dental market.</p> <p>Portland's College Street location connects to UNE's Portland campus area, accessible from the downtown Portland peninsula and the broader Greater Portland metro area. Maine's dental access challenges — particularly in rural counties — make the UNE College of Dental Medicine's teaching clinic an important component of the state's dental workforce pipeline, training the dentists who will serve Maine's communities for decades alongside providing immediate clinical service to Portland-area patients.</p> <p>For Portland and southern Maine patients seeking quality dental care at reduced rates through a supervised teaching clinic, the UNE Oral Health Center on College Street provides accredited dental education and community dental access through the University of New England's College of Dental Medicine.</p>

Closed · Opens today at 7 AM

Children / Pediatric Dentistry isn't listed directly on profile, but this Portland clinic is documented for invisalign across 11 services.

Read full description

<p>PDX Center for Dentistry is at suite 1101, 511 SW 10th Avenue in Portland — a location in the Goose Hollow neighbourhood near the Portland Art Museum, the MAX light rail corridor, and the Pearl District boundary. SW 10th Avenue in this part of Portland sits within the downtown core, accessible from across the city via the MAX light rail and the Portland Streetcar, making this address reachable without a car from much of the broader Portland metro area.</p> <p>Snap-On Smile is listed as a specific service — a removable custom-fabricated dental arch overlay that clips over existing teeth to provide an immediate cosmetic improvement without tooth preparation, anaesthetic, or permanent enamel alteration. Unlike bonded veneers or crowns, Snap-On Smile is fully reversible: the arch can be removed at any time and the underlying teeth remain untouched. For Portland patients who want to trial a cosmetically improved smile before committing to irreversible veneer preparation, or for those who are not yet candidates for permanent cosmetic work due to gum health or occlusal issues, Snap-On Smile provides a clinically accessible cosmetic option not offered at most Portland dental practices.</p> <p>Full mouth rehabilitation is listed alongside TMJ/TMD treatment and dental implants — services that extend the scope of this downtown Portland practice into the complex restorative cases that present in an urban Portland patient population. Full mouth rehabilitation addresses cases where decay, periodontal disease, or trauma has compromised the dentition to the point where individual tooth restoration is insufficient and full-arch treatment planning is required.</p> <p>Invisalign for adult alignment correction and dental veneers address the cosmetic range. Root canal treatment and extractions cover the acute and surgical scope. Dentures handle the complete prosthetic replacement needs for downtown Portland patients.</p> <p>For downtown Portland, Goose Hollow, and Pearl District patients accessible from the SW 10th Avenue address who want a general dental practice with Snap-On Smile, full mouth rehabilitation, TMJ treatment, and implants in the Portland downtown core, PDX Center for Dentistry's suite 1101 provides that combination.</p>

Closed · Opens today at 7 AM

Children / Pediatric Dentistry isn't listed directly on profile, but this Portland clinic is documented for dental implants across 12 services.

Read full description

<p>Broadway Dental Care is at 2606 NE Broadway Street in Portland, Oregon — on NE Broadway, one of northeast Portland's main commercial arterials, accessible from the surrounding Irvington, Alameda, Beaumont-Wilshire, and Sullivan's Gulch neighbourhoods. NE Broadway runs through Portland's northeast quadrant as a mixed residential and commercial street characterised by locally-owned businesses, the Irvington neighbourhood's historic homes, and Portland's distinctively walkable neighbourhood commercial character.</p> <p>Periodontal surgery is listed alongside standard periodontal care — a clinical scope that extends beyond scaling and root planing into surgical flap procedures, osseous surgery, and crown lengthening for advanced periodontal disease. In Portland's northeast residential communities, where established homeownership patterns create patient populations who have maintained varying levels of dental care across decades, advanced periodontal presentations at first registration are clinically common. A general dental practice with periodontal surgery capability keeps these patients within the established dental relationship rather than requiring a periodontal specialist referral across the city.</p> <p>Dental implants alongside dentures provide the full prosthetic replacement range — from single-tooth implant restoration through full arch conventional dentures — at this NE Broadway address. In Portland's Irvington and northeast residential community, the combination of implant and conventional prosthetic options allows treatment recommendations matched to each patient's clinical situation, timeline, and preferences rather than defaulting to one modality.</p> <p>Cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening address the appearance-focused treatment requests of Portland's northeast residential and professional demographic. Crown and bridge restorations cover the fixed restorative range. General dentistry covers the preventive and maintenance scope for the surrounding Irvington and Alameda communities.</p> <p>For Irvington, Alameda, and northeast Portland patients on NE Broadway who want a general dental practice with periodontal surgery capability and dental implants at the heart of Portland's northeast commercial corridor, Broadway Dental Care's 2606 NE Broadway address provides that combination.</p>

Portland clinic with a porcelain veneers specialty that covers children / pediatric dentistry by implication, across 16 documented services.

Read full description

<p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p>

<p>Portland Street Dental Care is at 3 Portland Street in Southampton, Hampshire — a central Southampton address on Portland Street, accessible from the surrounding Southampton city centre residential and commercial communities. Southampton is a major south coast port city, home to the University of Southampton, the Port of Southampton — one of the UK's busiest passenger and cargo ports — and a diverse residential community in Hampshire.</p> <p>Sedation dentistry is listed alongside braces and general dentistry — a clinical offering that reflects a practice attentive to the anxiety component of dental care in the Southampton patient population. In the UK, dental anxiety affects approximately one-third of the adult population, and a significant proportion of patients who have deferred NHS dental care are doing so at least partially because of anxiety about the clinical visit. A Southampton city centre practice that offers sedation alongside general dental care provides an accessible management option for the most anxious segment of the Southampton patient population.</p> <p>Orthodontic treatment via braces at a Southampton city centre address serves both the adult patients seeking cosmetic alignment correction and the adolescent patient population in the surrounding Southampton residential communities.

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?
EditorialUpdated July 20, 2026Independently reviewed

Portland has no shortage of dental providers — a quick search pulls up hundreds. The challenge isn't finding one, it's figuring out which ones actually deliver.

This is the short list. Ten providers in Portland, Oregon that consistently showed up in the data — not because they paid to be here, but because their patients keep coming back and referring others. If you're weighing options for kids dentist in Portland, start here.
