Treatment philosophy

Willamette Dental’s mission is to advance the standards of dental care through evidence-based methods of prevention and treatment.

Every service provided is backed by reliable science, ensuring the safest and most effective care. By assessing patient’s individual needs and prioritizing prevention, providers help patients achieve long-term oral health with treatments rooted in the most up-to-date evidence available.
