Dr. Pelton’s Biography
Dr. Pelton is focused on providing compassionate, high quality dental care. She sets aside time to sit down with the patient and discuss treatment. She ensures the operatory is comfortable and goes the extra mile to help appointments go smoothly.
Dr. Pelton has been interested in science and the medical field since she was a child. She wanted to be an ER doctor until her college roommate asked her to shadow a dentist. She then fell in love with dentistry and the rest is history!
On weekends Dr. Pelton loves to go to the Oregon coast or hike a new trail with her husband and two goldendoodles. She also enjoys going out for pizza and ice cream and taking cave/mine tours.

Follow-up appointments should be made in a timely fashion, not necessarily the first setup appointment. The follow-up appointment, I couldn't even get one right away. So you're talking a month or two out, which is ridiculous. My tooth is or my crown is cracked. I need a new one. So there you have it. Thanks. Bye.
Jul 26, 2026
It was so helpful that they gave me the options and also prices of the treatment that I need so I can make an informed decision.
Jul 20, 2026
Dentist and staff actually listened to me.
Jul 18, 2026
Dr. Pelton and her assistant did an excellent job; they were always attentive to me.
Jul 17, 2026
There was a problem with my permanent crown and it had to be sent back to the lab for repairs before it was put in. Things happen, I get it. It's just very difficult for me to adjust my work schedule to fit an appointment and they weren't able to give me a date to return for the crown. The staff is very professional and outgoing which is very appreciated.
Jul 17, 2026
Great experience once again. Walked in and got checked in by very friendly office person. Got called back within 5 minutes. Exam done by knowledgeable hygienist and dentist. Then checked out all in a timely manner!
Jul 16, 2026
The lady who prepped my tooth hurt my jaw really bad she put way to much pressure on me and it. The lady who filled my tooth did amazing tho!
Jul 16, 2026
I had the best experience. I had an emergency dental need and Willamette set me up ASAP. I came early to fill out the paperwork. They took me in on time. My appointment needed longer than we thought so they asked if I could stay a little longer while they finished up another appointment to complete what I needed done. They were proficient, and kind and wonderful. I'm so grateful for my care.
Jul 12, 2026
Only complaint was the office was cold. Staff were excellent.
Jul 5, 2026
Friendly and professional as well as the dental assistant. Appointment was on time. However, the room was so cold I had to ask forc2 blankets.
Jul 5, 2026
We had to wait about 15 mins past our appointment time to be called back and we were not informed about delays. We were instructed to get there about 10-15 mins early to check in. It's hard having to wait in the waiting room with 2 little kids without being informed about what's going on.
Jul 4, 2026
Dr. Pelton helped resolve tooth pain due to a previous dental procedure that required a filling to be shaved down more. She explained her observations, which were also backed up by xray pictures. I'm grateful to be on the road to recovery and that my ache instantly felt better once the filling was shaved down as much as it was needed.
Jul 3, 2026
I marked timely appointment a little low because I have to wait a month and a half for my next appointment but I understand it is summer and staff are taking time off.
Jul 1, 2026
Always a great experience with staff and denstists
Jun 29, 2026
Communication with staff and patient needs improvement. Scheduling appointments and getting timely care is poor.
Jun 28, 2026

Jun 22, 2026
Everyone was nice and efficient.
Jun 20, 2026

Jun 14, 2026
Excellent job!!!!
Jun 5, 2026
I like that the care team doesn't try to sell or push unnecessary treatments and such. I like that it is simple and we get the care we truly need for our dental health.
Jun 5, 2026
I was in an out for a tooth extraction in 25 minutes!
May 18, 2026
It was very helpful & I got relief from my tooth. Thank you
May 18, 2026
Great experience. I have a lot of anxiety with getting fillings but the team really put me at ease. Filling done professionally and with great care. Especially want to thank the assistant/hygienist.
May 16, 2026
I had a filling fall out & the Staff at the Hazel Dell office got me right in and got it replaced! No problem! My regular Dentist, Dr. Martin, was off work that day so Dr. Pelton helped me. She did a great job! Professional, Knowledgeable, and Polite! Such a friendly, welcoming staff! Thank you!
May 10, 2026
Thanks to doctor and assistant in helping me. God bless them.

Alexsis Pelton DMD is a very pleasant, confident and capable. Thank you Dr. Pelton!
May 4, 2026
The team was all so kind!
May 4, 2026
The hygienist was really fast and rough. Asked to never have her clean my teeth again. Was sore the day after because of tools pushed against the corners of my mouth. The dentist was awesome as always!
Apr 22, 2026
I have severe dental phobia, because of this I have not been to the dentist in 23 years. I saw Dr Pelton. She was amazing. She was so pleasant. She informed me of the work I needed and gave a few options for how to move forward. Anna was her hygienist and she was equally amazing. I feel comfortable moving forward and have decreased anxiety about returning for my appointments.
Apr 3, 2026
Great job team!
Mar 27, 2026
It was a great experience. The stage worked well together and the hygienist was phenomenal.

Feb 16, 2026
I like Ana so much she's the best! She explains everything to me and she is very gentl, very thorough and hands on with everything. You really can tell that she loves what she's doing and it's her passion. Thank you Ana! Also Doctor Palton is very good doctor!
Feb 18, 2026
Alexis was wonderful. She was very kind, easygoing, and she really made it so it wasn't an anxious experience. And she did everything I asked her to do in my paperwork. And I loved that she listened so well about that. And she was super awesome. So I really appreciate her, and I'm definitely recommending her. Thank you so much.
Feb 15, 2026
Fast and professional.
Feb 15, 2026
I'm not happy with the fact that I was not given a choice on filling types like other providers. Instead I was given one option, that is of course the most expensive with no knowledge or reasoning as to why. Was also not spoken to from the provider for my son, who is a minor about treatment needed and why.
Feb 13, 2026
Nice crew. Clean environment.
Feb 9, 2026
We arrived an hour early to our appointment on accident. We were seen early and so quickly. Our hygienist was WONDERFUL.
Feb 12, 2026
Outstanding service, care & professionalism. Thank you for hiring such good providers.
Feb 8, 2026
Both the hygienist and dentist were fantastic!
Feb 8, 2026
Disregard my answer to number two question because I didn't listen to the whole options. I'm happy with everything you guys did.
Feb 6, 2026
I would never want to go to another dentist
Feb 1, 2026
Absolutely amazing. They even temporarily fixed the sharp edge of an old filling that has to be redone completely. the Hygienist was very knowledgeable and so sweet. Dr was also, very pleasant. I definitely recommend them .
Feb 2, 2026
The dental team did a very good job. My only complaint is that it took over 40 minutes for me to get off of hold and make an appointment.
Feb 2, 2026
Great experience but orthodontist only works 2 days per week. Extremely difficult scheduling unless you don't work. Bad for people with jobs, zero flexibility
Jan 31, 2026
I felt very comfortable while I was there having my teeth cleaned, they all were extremely nice and kept making sure I was ok.
Jan 31, 2026
They all did a very nice job there. Very professional.
Jan 26, 2026
She was great.
Jan 28, 2026
It was easy, fast, friendly, accommodating & most importantly not judgmental!
Jan 19, 2026
Thanks ?
Jan 12, 2026
Frustrated because I felt I wasn't given the appropriate information in the past and was thrown off by them saying I may need a tooth pulled since it's been on "watch" which I NEVER received this information until my last visit. No cool.
Jan 4, 2026
They are very nice teamwork
Jan 3, 2026
I had a great experience at THIS location. Previous millplain location was horrible. Here at the hazel dell location it was amazing.
Dec 22, 2025
In all my years, I haven't enjoyed visits to the dentist until I started coming to Willamette Dental. Thank you!!
Dec 22, 2025
I had a great visit!!! Super helpful and thorough
Dec 21, 2025
The dentist and all staff were very kind and listened to our concerns and questions. The procedures were efficient and they explained everything that they were doing and why.
Dec 19, 2025
great to be around happy professionals.
Dec 16, 2025
My hygienist was awesome
Dec 15, 2025
Dr. Pelton and her assistant are always amazing during my appointments, as someone with high anxiety to dental appointments they always take their time to make sure I am okay. By far one of the best dentist I have been to., and I have recommended her to my friends and coworkers looking for a new dentist. I feel like I hit the dentist jackpot and hopefully she doesn't leave.
Dec 14, 2025
It was good, they're a great team. Patient, kind, efficient. A heads up that the shot in the top of my mouth was going to be atrocious compared to any other dental shot I've gotten would've been nice. But, they were efficient which is also nice when you're an emotional wreck.
Dec 7, 2025
I went to a Kaiser dentist the day before and they dismissed my symptoms. When I came to Willamette Dental, I was immediately taken care of and was told I needed my tooth extracted immediately. I was given great care, good instructions, and I followed the dentist's directions to go to the emergency room the following day. I've been in the hospital for two days with an IV drip because of the support, urgency, and direction I received at Willamette Dental. Thank you, it means a lot.
Dec 6, 2025
The experience was wonderful, quick and painless. The dentist and assistant worked wonderfully and my tooth is back to normal. Thank you Willamette Dental for your staff professionalism, kindness and expertise
Dec 6, 2025
Wonderful and caring
Dec 4, 2025

Dec 4, 2025

Nov 22, 2025
I've always been happy with my care here. I trust my provider emphatically.
Nov 18, 2025
Unfortunately the dentist was not able to provide a solution for my tooth pain.
Nov 20, 2025
I'm glad I was able to get an appointment so quick during their busy schedule. Thanks!
Nov 10, 2025
Had a tooth removed; afterward, pain level of 1 (out of 10). Later that night, it dropped to 0.5. Excellent work!
Nov 10, 2025
Very professional. She listened to my concerns and gave me options on how to proceed with my treatments. I was very happy with her advice!!
Nov 7, 2025
The staff is always cordial, timely, and professional
Nov 1, 2025
I came in very nervous because I hadn't been to the dentist in over a decade. I was treated with respect and kindness and left happy.
Oct 29, 2025
Professionalism all around!
Oct 7, 2025
The whole team was super helpful and professional the entire time. Always have a great appointment.
Oct 6, 2025
I have to go see an oral surgeon in Tigard, Or. too far
Sep 29, 2025
Well I don't recall getting teeth polished. No plaque removal scraping.
Sep 27, 2025
Thank you
Sep 24, 2025
I am really impressed with the service, friendliness and care shown by everyone involved at my recent visits.
Sep 13, 2025
My child did so well getting her fillings done. She was anxious, but birth dental assistant and doctor were great with my 6 year old with her first fillings. They directed her well to make sure she was less anxious and knew what to expect with shots, numbing, and drilling. She wasn't afraid to go back for the next one.
Sep 14, 2025
The staff were wonderful and did a great job listening to me and answering my questions. I would appreciate being able to get appointments sooner.
Sep 12, 2025
Ana, Cori, Olivia, Dr.Nordstrom and Dr. Pelton all did such a great job.
Sep 12, 2025
I was very pleased with the care I was given. I was there for urgent care I was treated very well. Thank you all.
Sep 7, 2025
She listened very patiently to our concerns and offered new treatments to help improve oral health. Specifically, she offered fluoride treatment at home to help reduce cavities. We didn't know that was an option before and we look forward to working with her more. We hope to preserve as many teeth as possible. The patient (my wife) has a lot of dental issues but is committed to doing what she can for her health, including any at-home treatments.
Sep 5, 2025
The doctor and assistant were so accommodating, kind and thorough. I had lost my crown and called Willamette Dental. They got me in the next day and fixed my tooth. I am so pleased with the whole experience. Thank you for being awesome ?
Sep 1, 2025
Witness teamwork and diligence with my hygienist. Very impressed.
Aug 31, 2025
Extremely hard workings staff but most importantly they have very good customers service and very helpful
Aug 31, 2025
The team was great!
Aug 29, 2025
I had a great experience, I was just surprised how long it would take to get back in to treat my cavity.
Aug 24, 2025
Very nice and friendly. Thanked me for being so patience while waiting.
Aug 24, 2025
Hi, I was very upset with the dentist because my husband went in, he had 11 teeth pulled by the last dentist and hemorrhaged. And then this time when we went in, because he has one cavity that is kind of hurting him, she wanted to pull the rest of his bottom teeth and give him dentures. I think that is horrible. I am a nurse and I would not let that happen. He already hemorrhaged when he had his other teeth pulled and she took offense that I didn't want my husband's teeth pulled and there's only you know, a tooth that is causing him a little bit of cold sensitivity, there's no reason to have all of his bottom teeth pulled out. This is really odd to me. I worked at the VA, and when they did heart surgery, they pulled everybody's teeth, and I think that's horrible, because they get dentures, they don't fit, they don't go in, they don't stay in, they can't chew food, they lose them, they never get new ones. It's lots of problems. And I was very put off by this
Aug 20, 2025
Dr. Pelton and Cara make such a great team! I felt completely at ease during my extraction appointment. Dr. Pelton took the time to carefully explain my treatment and made sure everything was done with patience and kindness.shes an amazing Doctor! Cara, the amazing DA, ensured I was comfortable the entire time. It's her attention to details that's remarkable. Their bedside manner is truly the best. The whole Hazel Dell team works so well together! I absolutely love this office!
Aug 16, 2025
Yes, I'm missing my front tooth and I was wondering why they didn't issue me a flipper and my appointment isn't until October the 6th. I have to wait all that time before I get anything.
Aug 15, 2025
Thanks
Aug 14, 2025
Cori and Dr Pelton were so kind to me! I'm always embarrassed coming in but they showed no judgment! I know this is the right place for me!
Aug 10, 2025
I'm not really sure why I had to go in. They looked at my teeth for about a minute. Slopped some fluoride on my teeth in about thirty seconds then escorted me to the receptionist. The last time I was in they said we'll see you next year, i was surprised that they told me I had to come in?
