I lost part of a front tooth and could not get in for a week. It was sensitive and looked terrible. It seems under the circumstances you could be worked in for an appointment!!

OMG! I love my team! I tell everyone about Willamette Dental and especially those that I work with. I go in at least twice a year. Dr. Blindheim is amazing and doesn't judge (even though I don't floss like I should). Eli (hygienist) is amazing and so gentle....and of course Caitlin and Olga are there to answer any questions you may have.

I have been seeing Dr. Blindheim for nearly a decade now. He helped me become inspired to take good care of my teeth. With regular check-ups and taking care of my teeth at home, I was able to significantly improve my dental health. I enjoy the entire team from the front desk, hygienists, and dental assistants. Thank-you, for helping to take good care of my teeth for so many years. I love Willamette Dental.

I appreciate my dentist trying to reassure me that my dental situation will be taken care of in the safest manner and I appreciate him trying to make sure I feel comfortable with the upcoming procedure. I have severe dental anxiety and he explained everything to me step by step and gave me options to help with my anxiety prior to arriving to my upcoming appointment. I'm sure I will still be anxious but I believe it won't be as bad this time. 10/10 would highly recommend my provider.

The only issue I had is you do not use American-made face mask level 3 barriers you only have the Chinese mask that never complies with level 3 barrier once tested. When are you going to start buying American? It just seems to me that you should be buying local and American made. To ensure the quality and accountability.

I want to especially thank all of you, even the members of Willamette Dental that aren't on site there. You all were really great. I have cancer and I'm taking chemotherapy. I needed to get in right away. And you really took care of me well. It was a pleasure to be there. Everyone was so nice. So you're all doing a good job. And since this is being recorded, they all need a raise. Okay? You have a nice day.

The dentist at this office was able to tell me right away that I needed to have my tooth extracted. He said he could see that the cavity was very large. Keeping in mind that the dentist at your Milwaukie office told me she could not see the cavity and therefore was unable to give a diagnosis. He said I could have possibly saved the tooth, but it would be an involved process and I opted for extraction. I was in so much pain and I just needed relief. He did the extraction, which was very involved. I am now out of pain aside from the sutures and large hole from the extraction. I will only be going to this office from now on.
