Read full description

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.

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.

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.

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.

More about periodontics at this clinic

Periodontal care focuses on the health of the gums and the bone that supports the teeth, from preventive gum health checks through to deeper treatment once disease has taken hold. Left untreated, gum disease is a leading cause of adult tooth loss, which is why it is monitored at every checkup. At the core of a general dental practice is preventive and restorative care: checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and screening for decay and gum disease before either becomes a bigger problem. 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.

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

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

Read full description

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.

4.9(567)·1.9 km from Portland Downtown

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

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

Portland clinic with a porcelain veneers specialty that covers periodontics by implication, across 16 documented services.

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.

Timber Dental - Downtown Portland

4.6(325)·96 m from Portland Downtown
90Smyleee

Suite 100, 310, Southwest 4th Avenue, Southwest Portland, Portland, Oregon

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

Pediatric Dentistry focus in Portland; periodontics is implied by specialty rather than listed directly, with 11 services on file.

Read full description

Timber Dental – Downtown Portland is at suite 100, 310 SW 4th Avenue in Portland's downtown core — on SW 4th between the city's financial district and the transit mall, accessible from the downtown MAX and TriMet bus network and within walking distance of Portland's central business district, Chinatown, and the Old Town neighbourhoods. Timber Dental was founded in Northeast Portland in 2014 and has expanded across Portland to locations in Bethany, East Burnside, and Downtown — the Downtown location on SW 4th Avenue serves the workday and residential population of inner Portland.

As a multi-location Portland dental group with a defined brand identity, Timber Dental operates differently from single-location independent practices. The multi-site structure allows patients who live in one Portland neighbourhood and work in another to access care at whichever Timber Dental location is most convenient for a given appointment — a practical consideration in Portland's geographically distributed metropolitan footprint. The Downtown location on SW 4th serves the densest concentration of Portland's downtown worker population, who represent the most schedule-constrained segment of the city's dental demand.

Emergency dentistry alongside root canal treatment and extractions provides the acute care capabilities most needed by Portland's downtown worker population — patients who experience dental emergencies during the workday and need a dental office within walking distance of their office. Children's dentistry makes the downtown location accessible for families in the downtown-adjacent residential communities. Invisalign for adult alignment correction addresses the demand of Portland's young urban professional demographic.

Implants and crown and bridge restorations cover the restorative and prosthetic range. Teeth whitening handles the cosmetic requests of the downtown Portland patient demographic. General dentistry covers the preventive and maintenance scope.

For downtown Portland, Old Town, and Pearl District patients on the SW 4th Avenue corridor who want a general dental practice with emergency dentistry, Invisalign, and implants in the heart of Portland's downtown transit hub — with the multi-location Timber Dental network available across Portland — the suite 100 address at 310 SW 4th Avenue provides that combination.

2079, Northeast Town Center Drive, Triple Creek, Beaverton, Oregon(nearby)

Closed · Opens today at 7 AM

Documented for pediatric dentistry in Beaverton, with periodontics on the service list and 18 procedures on file — just outside Portland proper.

Read full description

Perledent Dental Care provides dental care on Northeast Town Center Drive in the Triple Creek area of Beaverton, 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.

Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.

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.

Open until 1 PM

Periodontics isn't listed directly on profile, but this Southampton clinic is documented for braces across 9 services — just outside Portland proper.

Read full description

Portland Street Dental Care is a dental practice on Portland Street in Southampton, England. Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.

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.

General dentistry covers the routine and restorative care most people need most often — examinations, cleanings, fillings, and preventive checks that catch problems while they are still small and inexpensive to treat. Regular attendance, roughly every six months for most patients, is what makes that early-catch approach actually work.

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. Contact details for Portland Street Dental Care are on this page, along with the full list of services offered — reach out to ask about scheduling.

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 August 2, 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. We spent time reviewing patient outcomes, checking credentials, comparing pricing, and analyzing feedback from patients who've had periodontist work done across the Portland metro area.

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 periodontist in Portland, start here.
