I couldn't recommend this dental office more highly! I was visiting Portland when a previous filling started causing significant pain. Since I only had one day available, I called and spoke with Lynn, who was incredibly understanding and went out of her way to fit me into the schedule that morning. From the moment I arrived, the entire team was welcoming and accommodating. Dr. D'Ambrosia was extremely thorough, performing multiple tests to identify the source of my pain. The exam revealed that two previous fillings had been done poorly, with decay developing underneath one and an air pocket in another that was causing my discomfort. She took the time to explain everything clearly and fixed the issues with great care and attention to detail. Libby was wonderful throughout the appointment, consistently checking on me and making sure I was comfortable and having a positive experience. The level of care, professionalism, and compassion from everyone on the team was exceptional. If I lived in Portland, this would absolutely be my dental office. Thank you to Dr. D'Ambrosia, Libby, and Lynn for taking such great care of me and turning a stressful situation into a positive experience. I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding treatment and kindness I received. read more

I connected with MK Distinctive Dentistry via my insurance. I chose it because they were able to get me in quickly, worked with Moda and were incredibly close to my house. I called their office to explain to them my tooth that was bothering me. They were able to get me in relatively quickly and examine was what going on. Turns out my root canal was infected because of another office's dental work. I was able to get it repaired that day. It was a long appointment but overall it was sn emm read more

I recently visited MK Distinctive Dentistry, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and professional. The front desk staff made the check-in process smooth and efficient, ensuring I was comfortable from the start. Dr. Alyse D'Ambrosia and the entire team were outstanding in their care and expertise. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explain every step of the treatment plan, and made sure I felt at ease during the entire process. The level of precision and attention to detail truly sets them apart from other dental offices. The office is equipped with the latest technology, which made my experience even more reassuring.

I just had a back crown, put in by Dr. Kaip less than 5 years ago, break in half. I wasn't eating at the time and hadn't been eating anything hard, tough or sticky. I was walking my daughter to the door and it just came apart. There was a significant food trap between that tooth and the one in front, so I am always careful to floss it twice a day. I also use a WaterPik and Sonicare on my teeth. I had him do major work on my teeth and it cost a pretty penny. Having a crown that new, break in half, probably has something to do with the way it was prepared, scanned and installed. Dr. Kaip made plenty of mistakes on my teeth the few years I was with his practice, but this is another. I don't know what will go wrong next with my dental work done by Dr. Kaip. Unfortunately for me and my pocketbook, more will probably be revealed. Then he talked to an endodontist who wasn't working on any of my teeth where Dr. Kaip had made all the mistakes. Also, by then I had switched to Dr. Kaip's partner, who is an amazing dentist. I think his talking about my dental work to anyone else is a violation of the HIPAA. Now watch all the positive reviews flow in as soon as Dr. Kaip or his employees see this review. read more

I went in for my biannual cleaning (have gone here about 30 years now) and informed Dr. D'Ambrosia of a painful blocked salivary gland. She suggested using their fotona laser to try to unblock the gland. I don't know who was more gleeful - me getting relief from the pain, or Dr. D'Ambrosia and Libby at witnessing the excellent results! The care everyone at this office shows is just exceptional and is why I've been with them so long. read more

Dr D, Dr K - and their entire team are incredibly professional and top rate. You are treated as though you are their only patient while you are there - taking the time to not only make you feel as comfortable but also to provide expert consultation and recommendations. Their follow-up with you continues on past your visit read more

I have never had trama to my teeth before this last year. I believe that our eyes and smile are a reflection of our soul. Mk dentistry is filled with a staff that is pure magic! I had my front tooth fixed flawlessly after an unfortunate accident. I have been a client with them since 2001, and only have beautiful things to share about the commitment & community at MK dentistry. Life isn't about the journey, or the destination.. for me it's about the company. Mk Dentistry is a fireplace not to be missed! read more

Remarkable team and excellent work done. When they found out I had been laid off and my insurance was about to expire they pulled out all the stops to get what I needed done ASAP. I would recommend this dentist and to anyone and everyone I know! read more

Such a professional practice there at MK Distinctive Dentistry! From the scheduling of an appointment, reminders and the work preformed. Stellar! I felt cared for and relaxed. I did their whitening treatment and boy am I pleased. Highly recommend! read more

Dr Kaip provided a crown for me recently. I was in pain and he and his staff were able to get me in quickly, assess my problem, and get me out of pain and healthy the next day. I can't thank him enough for his compassionate high quality care. Highly recommended. read more

I have been a patient here for now 5+ years. Prior to this I had Kaiser which I went with because of a lower cost of care since I hadn't had a dentist in many years. After being cleared by my previous dental office with no additional care needed I switched to MK. And as it turned out they told me I had multiple fillings that were broken down and should be replaced. Normally I'd find that as a red flag since I had just been told I needed no work by another dental office. But then they showed me and I could easily see cracks and breakdown in fillings I'd had 20 years. I had never had a dentist talk about how dental repairs will break down and not last for your lifetime. They put together a plan based on most critical and also to work with my insurance and budget and got me all set. The hygienists and assistants actually explain things to you. And if you are not doing well at some part of your dental care, they tell you that so they you know and not just gloss over it. They actually try to help you prevent issues from happening. I see Dr D'Ambrosia and she has been great. Actually making sure you're comfortable and doing her best to keep your mouth as healthy as possible. Dr D has also been working with me on my sleep and explained how poor sleep can have an effect on your teeth. The office has a lot of what I'd consider high tech equipment which makes the experience faster and more comfortable. It's extremely nice to go in and if necessary have dental pieces made and placed same day. Overall some of the best dental care I've had and highly recommend this office. read more

This is a great dental office! The staff are super nice and really care about you. The hygienists and assistants are very skilled and professional, while still making sure you are comfortable through the whole cleaning process. Been going to Dr. Kaip for almost 10 years now, even after we moved to Vancouver 6 years ago! The 30 minute drive is worth it and they have plenty of free parking. Can't say enough good things about this place. read more

My spouse and I have been going here for ~13 years. For my 88 year-old mom I did extensive research on various dentists in Portland: Yelp, Angie's List, nextdoor.com and general recommendations. In-network dentists were definitely less expensive out-of-pocket wise, but the choices were sparse. And I wouldn't recommend any of the ones I visited. For a few, I kept on driving by just looking at the building. A shabby exterior and waiting room says something about the quality inside. Most out-of-network dentists had similar insurance policies and costs. What sets Dr. Kaip's office apart is that the awesome front desk team tries to help you find answers. Tip: If you're using dental rider insurance through a Medicare Advantage plan do not ask, "do you take Medicare?" Almost all dentists will avoid you like a leper. In sum, costs for most out-of-network dentists seem to be in a range, what sets the quality dentists apart from the also-rans is service and cleanliness. Lastly, Dr. Kaip is extremely personable, gentle, and completely trustworthy. read more

*This review is not about their dentistry work but rather the difficulty in making an appointment.* This office must not be interested in new clients. I called several times on different work days and at different times of day but I never reached a person, only voicemail. The location is so convenient for me so I pressed on to get an appointment. On Feb 1, I emailed the office to ask for an appointment on and on Feb 6, they asked me to call their office. I responded that calls never go through and the front office person apologized and asked for my number to reach out to me on Feb 11. It is Feb 27th and I have never heard from them and I still have not be able to make contact. Not sure what is going on. read more

I have been going to this Practice for almost 18 years, since day one they have always provided excellent dental care, incredible staff that care about their patients and their craft. Now I have a family of five and we all go here to get dental care. Over the years the practice has only gotten better and better, if that was even possible. Everyone from the front desk staff, to the Drs know each patient by name as well as personal details that make the service here top notch. The dental work here is incredible in fact my kids went to a kids dentist and the ruined their teeth and we came here and got straight answers and solutions right away. The practice is also practical when it comes to the types of procedures you need and you don't get pushed into things and don't feel ripped off. The Drs are incredible and personable as well as the entire staff. Trust me this is where you need to go. read more

This is my first-ever Yelp review (I generally don't leave online reviews), so don't let my lack of Yelp-cred lead you to question its authenticity. Dr. D'Ambrosia and the staff at MK Distinctive Dentistry operate with precision, skill, and care. Taking advantage of advances in dental tools and techniques they ensure you are comfortable and as pain-free as possible during routine cleanings and oral surgery. Additionally, their front office is very knowledgeable and helpful with respect to scheduling and insurance. For those of us with a history of painful dental work at the hands of lesser dentists, we are all too familiar with inadequate, poorly administered local anesthesia, yanking on our teeth like they were trying to remove Excaliber, blood splattered bibs, residual pain for days, hot and cold sensitivity for months. NO MORE! Dr. D'Ambrosia and the staff at MK Distinctive Dentistry provide the highest level of dental care I have ever experienced. How good? I dozed off while having old, cracked fillings replaced...literally took a nap in the dentist chair. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for next-level dental care, but especially those who dread going to the dentist because of past experiences. Do yourself a favor, and chose MK Distinctive Dentistry. You'll be happy you did. read more

The staff and service are always very professional. They take the time to listen to your concerns and use the most up to date techniques and equipment. I have been seeing them for over 10 years and am very pleased. read more

I switched from a long-time Dentist to see Dr. Kaip and Dr. D'Ambrosia and I am so glad I did. There office is very convenient in terms of location. Their staff is outstanding and i feel like i am getting the best dental care I have ever had. I highly recommend this practice for you and your families dental needs. read more

Excellent dental care. Dr. D'Ambrosia also spent a significant amount of time giving good advice on sleep apnea.

I recently switched to this dental office after 3 years with Kaiser. Here is the deal. Front office staff is helpful. As in they actually can explain and try to help figure things out to maximize your insurance benefit. The hygienists actually explain things to you. And if you are not doing well at some part of your dental care, they tell you that so they you know and not just gloss over it. They actually try to help you prevent issues from happening. I've only seen Dr Dow and he has been great. Actually making sure you're comfortable and doing his best to keep your mouth as healthy as possible. Even though I had been faithfully going in every 6 months to kaiser dental, they only did the bare minimum. When I saw Dr Dow he informed me I needed two crowns and two fillings replaced. So you might think since my dental visit 6 months earlier I was told all was well that they were lying to me? Nope he could show me fractures in the fillings and in an old crown with a camera. Very easy to see cracks and fractures that in no way could have been missed. And then proceeded to talk to me about the different types of material and the life of those materials because fillings and crowns aren't going to last me my lifetime most likely. No dentist had ever in my life talked about maintenance of these repairs, as in what happens to these materials in 20+ years. Overall some of the best dental care I've had. read more

If you are looking and needing an excellent Dentist please don't hesitate to reach out to MK Distinctive Dentistry.

Dr Kaip and entire staff have always been so accommodating each and every time we've had an appointment or emergency or just advice. The expertise and impeccable office has never waivered through out all the years our whole family and friends have gone there. Can't give this office enough kudos!! We are so grateful!!! read more

Never would I have thought that I would take time to share feedback regarding a dental experience I had. With a mouth full of metal over the years, I've had the genes that brought me to many dentists over the years. Needless to share, it's typically a high anxiety experience for me. However, this has all changed due to the care and work of Dr. Alyse D'Ambrosia and the team at MK Distinctive Dentistry. She and her team are kind, patient and supportive. The office protocols made me feel 100% ok with having work done during this pandemic. The work they did was quick, and painless. I enjoyed the benefit of noise cancelling headphones, check ins, and quality care. I appreciate the environment they create for us patients. read more

My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Kaip for our dental care for years and we are happy to bring our kids to see him as well. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming. Dr. Kaip is great at what he does. My son recently broke a tooth and Kathi was able to get him in the same day. Dr. Kaip and staff placed a beautiful bonded restoration and helped turn my son's emotional day into a big smile. read more

Beautiful new office space, state of the art. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Kaip and Dr. D are the absolute best.
