Real smiles, rebuilt right here in Salem

Gloria came to us hiding her smile behind her hand. Twelve weeks later she left with implant-supported dentures that fit on the first try, and a smile she uses constantly.

Every denture we make is designed chairside with you, refined until it looks and feels like it grew there.

our community commitment —

Great dentistry that gives back, every single day

Many offices quietly turn away OHP and Medicaid families. We built this practice to do the opposite: one schedule, one standard of care, everyone welcome — the retiree with premium PPO coverage and the family with an Oregon Health ID card, in the same chairs, with the same doctors.

And if you carry private insurance, your visit does double duty: excellent care priced about 20% below the typical Salem office, and doors that stay open to neighbors who have far fewer options. You don't pay extra to make that possible. You just show up.

good questions

Things new patients ask us

Do you take my insurance? +
Almost certainly. We're in-network with most PPO plans — Delta Dental, MODA, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna, Guardian, and a dozen more, and we welcome OHP members. Call us with your member ID and we'll verify your exact benefits for free, usually while you're still on the phone.
How fast can I be seen for a toothache? +
Usually the same day. We hold emergency slots every weekday specifically for tooth pain, breaks, and swelling. Call before 3pm and we'll almost always get you in before we close.
What if I haven't seen a dentist in years? +
Then you're exactly who we built this office for. No lectures, no judgment — just a gentle exam, honest conversation about where things stand, and a plan that fits your budget and pace.
How much do dentures cost? +
Denture consultations are always free, and full traditional dentures typically start around $1,600 per arch, with implant-supported options quoted individually. Most PPO plans cover 50% of major work, and OHP covers dentures in many cases. You'll get an exact written price before anything begins.
¿Puedo hacer todo en español? +
¡Claro que sí! Desde la llamada inicial hasta las instrucciones postoperatorias, nuestro equipo bilingüe le atiende completamente en español, todos los días. Visite nuestra página en español.
