This model focuses on an efficient business model that lowers cost for patients while maintaining the highest level of care, support and accessibility.

Practice Philosophy

Willamette Dental Group focuses on proactive dental care. Proactive care means we focus on preventing disease rather than treating it surgically, when clinically appropriate.

  • We practice evidence-based dentistry, evaluating each patient’s specific circumstances scientifically then creating a personalized treatment plan.
  • All of our services are based on the latest research and years of reliable science, leading to the safest, most effective treatment available.

Pronunciations

We say “Will-AM-it.” The name Willamette is of indigenous origin to the Native American history in Oregon, pronounced “Or-eh-gun.”
