Amazing cosmetic work! Charming staff. Painless procedures. Flexible scheduling! Responsive to emergencies. Transparent care. Preferred Dental has it all! I transferred to Dr Nick for extensive dental work. He had to correct a previous dentist's substandard work. He was incredible. He explained everything he was doing. He guaranteed his work. He completed it painlessly. His front office manager, Darcy is welcoming and friendly. I can't believe I found this fabulous gem tucked away in Beaverton. I highly recommend Preferred Dental. I can't say enough great things about my experience there. My husband and my daughter transferred care to Preferred too. read more

I've been going to this office for 3 dentists now. A new guy just bought the practice last month. I'll constrain my review to the current owner/dentist. I keep coming here because the current (and the former) hygienist is amazing. I always wonder about the dentist. I mean I seethe hygienist for 45 minutes and the dentist for maybe 5. So I really weigh the hygienist heavily when I look at a dentist office. Don't get me wrong I like the dentist. He seems quite good. I don't have any issues that require the dentist specifically to do much. I guess I have good teeth. Either way I will be back for a cleaning. read more

I have been going to preferred dental for a few years. The first time I went, I had concerns about a discolored tooth and Dr. Grasvik dismissed me by telling me it didn't bother him so it shouldn't bother me. The whole interaction left me feeling disrespected and uncomfortable with him. After that, I only kept going back because the dental hygienist there was awesome and made me super comfortable. Today I went back after a long break due to covid, and it appears there are no more dental hygienists and just Dr. Grasvik doing the cleanings. The whole experience was rough, painful, and uncomfortable. The front desk receptionist was extremely professional and understanding when I told her my experience. I won't be going back and I would not refer this dentist to anyone. read more

I had an emergency situation. The staff got me in to see Dr. Grasvick the same day. After assessing my xrays, Dr. Grasvick determined that I needed an endodontist for this special treatment. He called his preferred provider and I sat in the chair and called my insurance company to find some endodontist close to his location. His provider was not "in network", but he and his staff reviewed the "in-network" providers I received from my insurance, and were aware of the good quality of work of one of them and able to comfortable refer me. From there, I was able to walk and get an appointment for what turned out to be a complex case the same day. This is all what I would consider "above and beyond". They also immediately sent the xrays to the endodontist. Both Dr. Grasnik and his staff are professional, accommodating, and willing to go out of their way to provide you, the client, with what you really need. I highly recommend. read more

I love Dr. Grasvik! He's extremely friendly and his office staff is very helpful and amazing as well!

Everyone in Dr Grasvig's office is very nice and professional. The office is always decorated pretty and the staff looks happy to work there. Thats just a bonus though right? I had a new hygienist today and I was a little sad because I liked the previous one so much which is one of the reasons I drive from east Portland. Well, the new one was just as great as the last. Very friendly and communicative about my care. I appreciate all the hard work from everyone involved in patient care. You are all fantastic. Oh yes, and Dr G is always fantastic. read more

I know one person who loves to go to the dentist but sadly it's not me. While it's not my favorite act of self-care, it's certainly been made easier by Kim, the best hygienist out there! She takes the time to educate me along the way as she is completing her tasks and is a great educator. Every time I leave the office I feel just a little bit smarter about my dental health and how to care for my teeth. Thanks for the awesome work! read more

Staff is rude. They don't know how to submit a basic dental claim to insurance. When I called to remedy the situation, instead of working with me, they jumped in and offered a discount. When I said that my insurance would pay, and it was an insurance company that they agreed to bill before my appointment, the front desk person was rude and hung up on me. The dates on my paperwork don't match the dates of service so my insurance can't pay the bill. read more

Today was my first visit to the dentist in an embarrassingly long time. Riddled with anxiety from my last appointment (somewhere else) I was greeted by a very friendly assistant (Virginia) who set the tone for the rest of my afternoon. There wasn't a moment where I felt nervous and the nurse and dentist were very honest, detailed and gentle. They were even extremely patient with my tired toddler. read more

Dr. Grasvik and his team are exceptional. Everyone is very personable and great at what they do. I am really happy with the quality of work on my crowns. I've been to over a dozen Dentists in my life and would say Dr. G and his team our the best. read more

Although I've only been a new patient for less than two months, Preferred Dental deserves the commendation it has rightfully earned, a full five (5) stars. Victoria at the front desk always has her warm smile and friendly demeanor on point. She genuinely wants to help in any way she can, and has made everything from scheduling to payment easy and convenient. It's always a joy being greeted by her. Kim, my hygienist, has always made me feel calm and informed during our sessions. I always leave with new information, tips, and tricks I never knew. She's diligent, methodical, and kind throughout the vulnerability of teeth cleaning and better oral health. Dr. Grasvik, who I've only interacted with once thus far, is willing to take the necessary time to make sure patients are inspected and given a green light, all while making sure my questions were answered. So yes, I do highly recommend Preferred Dental. These staff members mentioned, along with the other team members, make it possible to enjoy dentistry and good oral health. read more

We had been looking for a good dentist in the area. After several poor visits elsewhere, this office was a saving Grace. Just waking into the well kempt waiting area and receiving a kind, warm welcome was a step up from most experiences. Great front office staff, hygienists, and, of course, Dr. Grasvik. Hassle free and no pushing products or hidden fees. Glad to have found our dentist! read more

To start off I'm a new patient of Dr. Grasvik's, as I just moved to Portland over the summer. I went to one other dentist prior in Portland, and never returning to that one. As a precursor, I have a bit of a dentist phobia since I was little. I'm also prone to cavities so finding a good dentist and staff is really important to me. During my first visit, I received a thorough cleaning from one of the hygienists who even taught me proper flossing technique! Sadly I need reminders but she helped a lot. I ended up having a cracked tooth so I needed a crown, first one ever. Along with the crown, I needed to get a cavity filled on the same side of my mouth. Yay for horrible genetics! During the crown procedure Dr. Grasvik numbed me and a few times during the drilling I felt sensitivity. He immediately stopped and gave me another shot to make sure I didn't feel anything. He and his dental assistant were extremely patient and kept me calm the whole two and half hours while I was there in the chair. I had to go back a week later to get the crown drilled down a little, and they squeezed me in right away. Overall I'm very impressed with Preferred Dental Care and I would suggest giving them a try! read more

The entire staff is lovely and kind. Kim did my cleaning and was not at all "judgy" like some hygienists can be when they notice a lot of plaque. Dr. Grasvik is great! Very thorough and knowledgeable. As tough as it is to make going to the dentist a positive experience, this place manages to do it! read more

After a not so pleasant experience at a chain dentist office I asked for recommendations in my community for a new dentist. Dr. Grasvik's name came up several times. His office is very close to my house, so I went in for a consultation for the bad work I had received elsewhere and got great care and advice about how to proceed. The entire staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable. They make you feel like family. I have now been going to Preferred Dental for about a year. I've gotten my wife go to Dr Grasvik, after not having been to a dentist for many many years. I highly recommend them. And if you need another reason complementary water, coffee, juice, gum, and chap stick are just an added bonus read more

I love my new dentist! The whole team is amazing. They're close, they're funny and they are so patient with me and my many questions. They always take time to explain what's going on and it's always a good experience read more

I have delayed in writing this review, as I was waiting to see how this dentist, Dr. Nick Grasvik, would handle the situation. But since I opened a very large bill from his office today and was told that I needed to pay the amount due even though the service was not finished AND had to be redone by a new, more qualified dentist, I am taking the time to warn others about the unprofessionalism and poor work quality of this dentist. On more than one occasion I was "roughed up" in the chair with his instruments, resulting in numerous cuts and scrapes inside my mouth and on my gums, while he was trying to extract a tooth and trying to start an implant procedure. The former dentist was amazing and I had gone to this location for several years until he sold it to this dentist, not a great decision. There are so many bad experiences that I kick myself for not leaving sooner but the last experience was unbelievable. I was coming in for the fitting of the implant, which was mid way through this 6-8 month procedure. The implant did not fit, was awful looking and Dr. Grasvik kept dropping his instruments in my mouth, could not get the abutment out and ultimately could not finish the procedure. Because I was so nervous every time I would go into see this dentist, (never was before), he prescribed something that was supposed to calm my nerves prior to this procedure. It made me so groggy that when my friend picked me up, I could barely remember what had happened or walk to her car. When I awoke after a nap that evening, I realized the area was swollen and I had a very large cut on my tongue. I had endured 2 hours of this and he still couldn't get the implant finished and told me I would have to come back. I was in tears that night and my husband told me there was no way in hell he was letting me go back. I put a posting on Facebook asking for referrals and found a wonderful new dentist. His office contacted Dr. Grasvik's to tell them I had changed and would not be finishing my procedure there. He asked for the implant to be sent to his office. When he got the implant, he took one look at it and said, "oh my, this is awful" and refused to even attempt to put it in my mouth. I then paid for a brand new implant. This dentist was gentle, took 30 mins to do the procedure and I walked out pain free. Not one single issue. I also had him finish a crown for me and again...painfree and excellent bed-side manner. Another thing that Dr. Grasvik is lacking. The interesting part of this story is when I was telling the new assistants in this office about my experience, they both told me that 2 recent patients of this same dentist had just switched, citing similar experiences there. I honestly cannot believe there are 2 positive reviews of this place. Then again when you read between the lines, that's because they are referring to the dental hygienist and she really is amazing. But I'm sorry, I don't go there for the hygienist, I go there for the dentist and you couldn't pay me enough money to step one foot back into Preferred Dental Care. And how did they handle the situation? No phone call to ask me why I left, no emails, just a beautiful $980 bill asking to be paid for work they never finished. Had the experience been even 10% better, I would have had him finish the work and never would have returned. But for me to have left in the middle of the procedure to seek a new dentist, that should speak volumes to you. Stay clear of this place, trust me, it's not worth it. read more

I just moved to Portland and didn't have a dentist. I was going to wait until I settled in more and got closer to my normal six month cleaning, but my jaw started hurting. I went to my insurance website and picked a participating dentist closest to my home which happened to be Preferred Dental Care Center. Because I was in pain I was fortunate to get an appointment for the following morning. Then my wife showed me the Yelp reviews and the 1 star rating someone gave the dentist, Dr. Grasvik and I almost cancelled, but I didn't because the only other review was positive. Here are the basics of my experience: I was seen on time, both for my appointment and after I sat in the chair. I waited only until my X-rays were complete and reviewed (only took a minute) before the dentist came in and we discussed my issue. He was professional and diagnosed my problem and I was on my way. From the negative review I was expecting a different experience, but the staff gave my problem the attention it deserved and they were polite, friendly, and professional. Since I didn't have a dentist anyway, and my experience was positive, I am making Preferred Dental my new dental care place. read more

Horrible, worst dentist I've ever been to and I had such high hopes. Some highlights of my experience, constantly being rescheduled, made my tongue bleed during xrays, extremely rough cleaning, never gave me sunglasses before shining a bright light in my face, constantly splashed water on my face and clothes, argued with the dental assistant about someone not filling out paperwork over my face, and oh yeah the kicker- I went to try to finally get my fillings done today and was told the dentist wasn't in and wouldn't be for 2 MONTHS???? I never received a call either on an icy day and tried to call the office multiple times to see if they were closed. Not to mention they charged me for all fillings at once and never finished the service now this guy just ups and leaves and apparently he has to approve my refund so who knows. I'm honestly shocked and can't comprehend what the hell happened here and how this guy has such high ratings. Doesn't sound like this practice will be open much longer but if it is, beware. read more

Our family goes here. All the staff is friendly, thorough and knowledgeable. This is a private practice and not a production line w/ a revolving door of dentists like some places I've been. read more

First time using preferred dental as a new patient and new to the area. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Cleaning was gentle and future needed treatments were discussed without feeling pressure. Will be referring and will return. read more

I really like these guys. Nick is a very good dentist and a nice guy. They have a cerek machine so they can make crowns onsite. The staff are all very competent and friendly and the front end folks are very good and helpful. Also the best bang for my buck insurance wise as well. Check them out! read more

I have had work done over the years with Dr. Grasvik and have always been beyond satisfied from his expertise and also the staff are all very professional and friendly. He with out a doubt goes above and beyond to make sure you are conferrable. He does this trick when giving novocain that makes it almost feel like nothing at all. I am sorry but you will have to make an appointment in order to experience it. The office is very clean and conveniently located in Beaverton which makes it super easy. Make the right choice and contact Preferred Dental for all your dental needs! Thanks Dr. G you rock! read more

This was THE BEST dental experience I have ever had. The staff is professional and courteous. It is a very calm and inviting atmosphere. They have the most state of the art equipment to make your visit fast and efficient. Dr. Grasvik is kind, gentle and a wonderful dentist! I am terrified of shots and didn't feel a thing with his technique. He walked me through all that we were doing so there were no surprises which prepared me well for what was to come. I will return to this office and recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a great new dentist. GREAT EXPERIENCE!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

wasted my time. i made an appt here because my other dentist didnt take my new insurance. I called them and told them that my son need filling for his regular tooth. I told them he got the xray and evrything from the other dentist. They said before they can make an appt which there no opening anytime soon they need to have the xray record to be send to them. So i did and called and they sent the xray. i called to confirm that they got it and they made us the filling appt. when we got there they didnt even know whats going on, they didnt even know about the xray, they said its depend to the dentist if they want to do the filling, they insisted to do cleaning and end up not getting the filling, not recommended. staff very unorganized. read more

The staff here are always great. Everyone is courteous, helpful, and a biggie for me is not being pushy. I've been to some dental offices where it feels more like a commission based sales person trying to get me to buy the extended warranty, enough with the hard sell in a medical atmosphere already. Preferred is all around the best dental experience I've had, even the operating chairs are plush and extremely comfortable. read more

Be afraid - be very afraid! I had been complaining about a crown that Kris Blodgett put on for over 11/2 years, but was told over and over there was nothing wrong. It finallyy cracked and fell off on a Friday night - I placed an emergency call to Dr Blodgett Saturday morning and never received a call back, not even a call from his office on Monday morning. No concern at all for my comfort or pain. I suggest you STAY AWAY! read more

I had some of the best service at a dental office I have ever had here. My wife and I both come to this office and they are the nicest most accommodating people I have ever had the pleasure to encounter. Everyone from the front desk to the hygienist and the Doctor are very nice, and very helpful. They explained everything in detail to me and have made sure not only did I understand but that I was okay with all of my decisions. It was also wonderful to get after care calls checking on how I was doing. I have recommended friends and coworkers to come to this office and will continue to do so as they will continue to be the place I entrust with my teeth. read more

Today was my first visit. I was searching for a dentist closer to my house. The staff is very friendly and prompt. I appreciated how well they explained what they were doing. I noticed a lot of handwashing and wiping down of counters and equipment which was nice to see. The hygienist was very kind, knowledgeable, and professional. The only real issue was the dentist - he said he really was surprised that I "claimed" to floss my teeth everyday (I do, religiously) since I had a cavity between two teeth (like I must have been lying). I have an appointment to get the cavity filled. I will see how his bedside manner is at my next visit and re-assess if I will be staying with this dentist. It is too bad really, everything else was so great, but that comment he made has been bothering me all day! read more

A few years ago I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Blodgett while he fixed my front tooth. I had a crown placed on it and was so happy with the final shade and look. Anyone that I mention it to has no idea it is not my natural tooth. I have had no problems with it since having it done and love the look. The most significant thing about my experience with both Dr. Blodgett and his staff was their accommodation to my early appointment request which allowed me to get in before I went to work as well as have everything completed in one visit. I cannot fully express my gratitude for what he and his staff have restored for me. I would recommend Blodgett Dental Care to anyone who is looking for a dentist they can trust, is thorough, and who will do great work! read more

After not being to the dentist in over a decade - I decided it was time to do some "adulting" and get back into the habit of going to the dentist. I found Preferred Dental Care Center through my employer's Health and Wellness program. I LOVE that I was able to schedule my initial appointment on-line and their new patient paperwork is available on-line to fill out ahead of time. The front office manager and assistant are very friendly and the check-in process is a breeze. I never had to wait more than five-ten minutes before being brought back and if there is a delay, they keep you informed. Both of their hygienists, Kim and Liz are amazing. They are well established in their field of dentistry and make sure you are well-informed and comfortable. Dr. Grasvik and his dental assistant are aces, as well... not to mention they are efficient and don't sacrifice quality or patient comfort while achieving this. In fact, he was able to repair a filling that fell out in about 10 minutes (literally) during my initial visit. Pain control is always a concern of mine. I am thoroughly impressed with how well the team made sure I didn't experience any pain. During one visit, Dr. Grasvik was tasked with performing eight fillings after I had already been there having a deep cleaning done by the hygienist. The only pain I felt was the initial needle penetration into the administer the Novocain. This was a pleasant surprise as I didn't have the same experience with a previous dentist. After that, I put some ear buds in and listened to music while they did their magic. After my initial visit here, I needed to have a bit of clean-up and repair work done... i.e. deep cleanings, several fillings, teeth whitening, etc. I was able to get this done in less than four weeks and in a total of three visits. Now my teeth and gums have never been healthier and I've got a white smile to go along with it. All-in-all: The crew at Preferred Dental Care Center are a great team to have managing your dental care needs. read more

I am not a fan of dentists usually. I loved my experience with these guys. Shanna (I think that was her name) was the gal that cleaned my teeth and did all the exams and she was amazing. So nice and made sure I was comfortable. Dr. Blodgett was awesome too when I did end up needing to replace a crown. I also had a question about my insurance and stopped in to ask them. They helped me out with that too without even a second thought and gave me a great cup of coffee while I was there. I have referred my family and friends here ever since!!! read more
