Thanks to being well-known and specialized, Centerport Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry automatically stood out from the crowd of cosmetic dentistry options in Portland.

The center is headed by cosmetic dentist and implant specialist Dr. Benjamin Wang, who has an impressive 20 years of experience in the field.

Further solidifying his qualification is his membership with the American Dental Association, Oregon Dental Association, and Academy of General Dentistry.

We love that this clinic focuses on teeth enhancements and repairs, unlike other dental centers. It gives Centerport the edge in expertise and specialized skills, which we deem essential if the goal is enhancing a person’s appearance, particularly their smile.

That said, the clinic will ensure that your teeth are healthy before applying the appropriate cosmetic procedures. If you have tooth decay, gingivitis, or other teeth and gum conditions, the Centerport team will have to treat that first.

Of course, a pre-treatment apart from the cosmetic procedure will mean more expenses. Thankfully, you can opt for payment plans or use your insurance to cover your bills.

Note that before proceeding, you need to confirm if the clinic accepts payments from your insurance provider. Be sure to communicate how you’ll pay for the services to avoid confusion and sudden out-of-pocket expenses.

Remember also that Centerport is often busy due to its highly accessible downtown location, meaning scheduling can be challenging at times. We suggest setting your appointment early to avoid inconveniences.

Convenience and five-star customer care make Bling Dental a must-visit for your cosmetic dentistry needs. These qualities are what the clinic’s founder, Dr. Katie Bell, strives for and thankfully achieves.

The clinic offers virtual consultation, where you’re asked to send a close-up selfie and share your concerns. Your dentist will then assess the information and send you a video containing their answers and recommendations.

If you deem the advice acceptable, you can then schedule an appointment. We love this kind of system, as it spares you the initial trip to the clinic when you’re still unsure whether to use their services or not.

Bling Dental is also big in making your dental experience as pleasant as possible. You are entitled to a warm blanket, massage chair, free TV, and warm personal assistant while treatment is ongoing.

Note that the clinic’s rates can be pricey, even pricier than other providers based on current reviews.

It can be disappointing when your budget is tight, but we see it as a respite that they will provide you with a detailed list of prices for the proposed treatment, so you’ll never feel like you’re cheated upon.

The team also works with most insurance companies to help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. They have a complete list of providers they work with and accept payment from, so do check it before scheduling an appointment.

As for scheduling, expect your appointments to be delayed or rescheduled. We attribute this inconvenience to the high volume of patients that might overwhelm the system, service desk, and dentists.

Nonetheless, setting an appointment way ahead and following up with the clinic as the date draws near can help spare you the hiccups.

Portland Dental is the next best option if you want a one-stop-shop for your dental needs. Aside from common cosmetic dentistry services, the clinic offers general procedures, including fluoride treatment, periodontal therapy, and X-rays.

For the cosmetic side, you can avail the clinic’s teeth whitening, veneers, and Invisalign procedures. Dental implants are also offered, ideal for those with missing or broken teeth.

Portland Dental is headed by two dentists, Dr. Gerald T. Fujii and Dr. Kaveendra T. Ranasinghe, who are active members of the American Dental Association.

We like that one of them, Dr. Ranasinghe, is also a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, as it adds to the company’s credibility.

But while the expertise is not lacking, Portland Dental needs to improve on its customer service side.

We know that a large clinic may become too busy and occupied, rendering its service desk overwhelmed at times and resulting in a not-so-accommodating staff. We hope they can cure this unappealing tendency, as the last thing patients want is an unwelcoming environment.

Portland Dental’s services can also be expensive, so we would have appreciated it more had they included a list of insurance companies they work with online. That way, clients will have peace of mind.

Family-friendly practices such as Belmont Family Dentistry deserves a spot on our “best of” list, as they provide much-needed dental care regardless of age.

The clinic offers cosmetic dentistry services, including whitening and bleaching, bonding, porcelain crowns, and porcelain veneers. On top of these, you can come to them for checkups and orthodontic treatments.

Three dentists, Dr. Aaron Tinkle, Dr. Dana Yoon, and Dr. Sydney Hoffman, head the procedures.

The clinic has been operating for around 12 years, and all the doctors are members of the Oregon Dental Association and American Dental Association, further solidifying their qualifications.

Know that the clinic focuses on family dentistry, meaning the cosmetic side is only a fraction of their services rather than the main treatment. That said, patients who seek specialized skills for their teeth enhancement can opt for other clinics on our list.

Thankfully, Belmont promises to provide personalized treatment for each patient. So if your needs include cosmetic dentistry, the dentists will see that you get satisfactory results.

Going northeast at Timber Dental is a good decision if you need a cozy clinic that offers diverse dental care. After all, the eight-year practice is known for providing general dentistry for both children and adults.

Meanwhile, the clinic’s cosmetic procedures include whitening, tooth bonding, dental veneers, and Invisalign.

We love that Timber Dental has several branches in Portland that you can try, as it can spell travel and accessibility conveniences. Apart from the lead northeast clinic, you can visit their locations in Bethany, Sherwood, East Burnside, and Downtown Portland.

That said, expect a slight difference in the quality of service as you go from branch to branch. Hopefully, their long list of dental experts will ensure you get the treatment you deserve at any location.

Know also that since this isn’t a cosmetic-centric clinic, expect that skills in teeth enhancement treatments will only be average at the least. If you want a more thorough process, it’s always better to go to specialists.

Nonetheless, if you live in the northeast area and have a family that needs dental care, this local clinic is worth the visit.
