I see I'm not the only one who had an awful experience at this dentist office and who they tried to scam. First off I was told I have periodontal disease on my first visit. I've never been told that in my life; I have good dental hygiene and go to the dentist regularly. When the dental hygienist was measuring my gums, she was shoving the measuring tool so deep, I was in agony. I've had this done many times and it never hurt like this. It was from these measurements that she decided I have periodontal disease and that I would need a deep cleaning, which I've never needed before. I decided to go to my old dentist in Portland for a second opinion and sure enough, he remeasured my gums (didn't hurt this time!) and came up with different measurements and said I'm within normal range and that he did NOT agree that I needed a deep cleaning. I can only come to the conclusion that the dental hygienist was making an effort to get higher measurements to lead to a diagnosis of periodontal disease so they could do an unnecessary procedure and charge me/my insurance for it. Secondly, the night guard I got through this office was too loose (literally was falling out of my mouth when I laid on my back and opened my mouth). I went back to ask them for a new one and was told it was "good enough" and was denied a new one. The second opinion from my old dentist was that it was barely good enough and that he would have had no problem giving someone a new one if it fit that poorly. Another thing that outraged me was that I paid over $700 out of pocket for my night guard through Stevenson dental and later found out that my Portland dentist charges only $300 for night guards!!! So I paid more than double what I should have for a night guard that doesn't even fit properly. Truly just unbelievable. Needless to say, this is no longer my dentist and I've gone back to my dentist in Portland. Horrible experience, waste of my money and time. I believe this dentist office does not have enough revenues because it's in a small town and they are trying to rip people off that have good insurance by telling them they need unnecessary procedures and over charging them to make up for their low revenues. SUPER scammy. Watch out. Portland Modern Dentistry is a 50 minutes drive from Stevenson and won't pull this kind of crap. I recommend going there instead. Or Hood River. Just anywhere but here. read more

I'm a new patient. Let's start with the receptionist. She was delight to talk to. She was very thorough and friendly. Of course, I was nervous. I have a front tooth that needs a root canal. That was no surprise to me, especially after I saw the x-ray that was done. He gave an excellent assessment of what we could do now and what needs to be done in the future. I have some serious dental problems that are aggravated by diabetes. I found him to be thorough quiet-mannered. and very gentle in his examination of my teeth. I was very impressed and felt calmer than when I walked in. I highly recommend that you consider him for your future dental needs. read more

Best dentist ever! Everyone is great and I am overjoyed with the outcome of my teeth.

This review is long overdue! I LOVE Stevenson Dental. I initially came in when I was living in the area a few years ago. Now that I travel more often than not, I'm not in that area frequently but I still always make the time to go out to the gorge for my dental work. It can be really challenging to find a dentist that you trust in terms of comfort, knowledge, experience, office culture, etc. I truly appreciate everyone in this office and the care they've given and genuine friendliness over the last few years. I've had cleanings, crowns, and fillings. I swear I brush my teeth! :) I had to have some childhood fillings replaced also, etc. Idk why nobody else in Stevenson has left a review yet. C'mon ppl! You know it's the BEST! read more

"I have had good teeth all my life. I moved my records up to Stevenson Dental to be closer to home. These guys made me feel like every tooth was going to fall out of my head. When I asked for a long term plan, he was already planning inplants! I don't have any cavities, I don't have gum disease. The billing department messed up my account, right out of the gate. (not posting payments, double billing) I am back to my old Dentist and it is well worth the 32 mile drive. I have heard this type of report from several others in my area (after the fact of course) GRRRRR". Don't even get me started how rude they were about transferring my records when I needed to get a clearance for surgery. Unbelievable. It takes quite a bit for me to post a negative review, but when my regular Dentist said they had heard as much...well it isn't just me. read more

Dr Clifton is a very gentle and caring DDS. I have used him for over 10 years. and have been very happy with him and his staff.

This is my first experience with Stevenson Dental Care since moving from California. From the initial scheduling an appointment, accessing insurance and previous dentist records, to the actual appointment, my experience was very positive. The staff is very friendly, thorough, and efficient. I felt that they cared about me as a person as well as a client. Although my prognosis was much worse than I had experienced at other providers, (three months prior) I felt that they were sincere, thorough, and trustworthy. My only minor complaint is that the wait was a little bit long. My appointment was at 10 AM. I was not admitted until 10:30, and I did not leave the office until 1:00. I understand that they had recently implemented a new software system, and were learning how to use it. However, they did apologize and explain. I feel confident that they will be able to take care of my dental and peridontal needs. read more

Stevenson dental has that small town feel I have been a customer for a long time worth the trip from town doctor Clifton is in my world is a great dentist. read more

I really like this office. The staff is friendly and the dentist, Dr Jack Clifton, knows his craft very well. This is a small office in a small town but I suspect that you would have difficulty finding better dental work in too many other places. read more
