Dr. Grant’s Biography

Dr. Grant wants all of her patients to feel comfortable in her care, and she has the kind of calm and relaxed demeanor that naturally puts a patient at ease. After all, she knows what good care feels like, relishing in her own fun dentist and orthodontist visits from the age of twelve. Now behind the chair, Dr. Grant would like to instill the same positive associations for her patients. She values the opportunity to treat all ages and backgrounds at Willamette Dental.

As a mother of twins, she’s created the perfect work-life balance to do so, focusing on patients at the office and her children when away. Dr. Grant enjoys family, football, boating, and swimming.

Yeah, I was going to say I have been seeing Dr. Grant for quite a few years now and it's always a pleasure to go in and see her. The hygienists are just great. Actually everyone that works with her has been just great, professional. I enjoy it and I love seeing Dr. Grant. She's really good. She answers my questions and I will continue to see her as long as we are, you know, as long as she is practicing. She's a great dentist and she's gone the extra mile many times over the years for me answering questions and is super helpful and I've been very, very happy with her service. Thank you so much.

When comparing the staff at the Gresham office to the staff at the Tualatin office there is no comparison. Hands down, the staff at the Tualatin office are worlds better.

The Tualatin staff is amazing!

The hygienist was kind but was not a careful communicator at all. I felt quite unsettled in her care. Reporting my gum measurements to the person entering them into the computer was truly scary to listen to-I have low confidence about the accuracy of these numbers. Dr Grant and the xray tech were great though. And the gal who greeted me at the front desk was one of the most professional and friendly I have had in awhile.

I would like to say thank you all so much for your help and care and kindness to me, the welcoming smile from the staff really comfort me and helpful too, and most of all when I'm in pain they helped me out and explain everything to me to be aware off, like how much pain and how to get better things like that, very helpful and kindly professional advice to comforting me when needed, again thank you all so much and keep up the good work.

The dental assistant was professional and nice. The hygienist was thorough and helpful with the questions I had. However, the dentist was short and seemed to rush.

Always love the care when we get there. However, scheduling is always very difficult to get a time that's convenient for us. And we still wish there would be a provider in Yamhill County!

I have had a cold sensitive tooth since my last appointment. They put something on it at the end of my appointment to try to dull the sensation, but unfortunately it didn't work.

New patient and was seen same day I called as I had a crown come out. Dentist was extremely helpful as I had been having a little discomfort for over a year with this crown. Perfect fix and zero pain now. Thank you so much!

Jan 26, 2025

5

Yeah, I appreciate that my dentist never tries to get me to do work that's unnecessary. And so I know that if she recommends that I have that something needs to be filled or fixed, I know that it actually does and I don't have to worry that I'm being taken advantage of and I appreciate that.

Dr. Grant is so excellent with kids. My daughter seemed to feel so comfortable in her care. I very much appreciated the time that Dr. Grant spent with us both with making sure my daughter had a positive dentist experience (she's 3 and it was only her second appointment ever!) as well as the actual dental care she provided.
