The staff is so supportive and accommodating and they really know how to communicate to their patients what to expect in a way that the patient will understand. I had cracked a filling and they were able to get me in a day later. They explained to me over the phone in a patient and clear way how to take care of the tooth in the meantime. When I was able to come in, they examined my tooth and explained clearly and patiently that I would need a crown. I shared with them my fears (I have A LOT of dental trauma) they were able to explain to me how this experience would be different and better. Dr. Dar was able to calm my fears and when I said I was leaving for vacation that evening and wouldn't be back for a week - he explained clearly why it would be ok to wait to put in the temporary crown for when I returned. I came back for the temporary crown procedure and was so scared but they turned on Great British Backing show, numbed me until I could confidently say I didn't feel anything and began drilling. They moved quickly and it was clear they all cared about each other too as they chatted about weekend plans which was so comforting for me! Then they gave me 3 ibuprofen and 1 Tylenol and told me to go ahead and take it before the numbing wears off and that research shows that combo is best for pain relief which was reassuring. They said if I had any pain that kept me up at night to call them and they would get me back in but I didn't! For the following two weeks I had no pain at all! Then I returned for my permanent crown and they were very honest about how this procedure might cause a little pain because of the cold sealant they would need to use to permanently hold the crown. But they gave me something to squish with my hands and turned on Bob Ross and again moved quickly and confidently through the procedure. This part was slightly painful but nothing compared to what I've experienced in the past and was prepared for because of their clear communication. The whole procedure took about a half hour! Then they sent me home with another 3 ibuprofen and 1 Tylenol - I took it right away and had no pain the rest of the day. I experienced the slightest discomfort later that evening but nothing that kept me up at night and when I woke up the next morning the pain was gone. Here I am a day later and zero pain at all!!!! Just the slightest cold sensitivity but it's very manageable. I am so grateful for their thoughtful and encouraging staff! Heavenly and Dr Dar were amazing to work with. So patient and compassionate and created a welcoming environment! You will get quality care here.

It's hard for me to get time off work and I was excited to get a long overdue cleaning. When I arrived I was told they were short staffed and that I'd need to come back for the cleaning another time. I was moved from one room to another and passed off among different dental assistants. They took X-rays and offered orthodontia and fillings but even with my insurance (Delta Dental) the prices were way too high for me. The whole vibe felt a bit unorganized but maybe I just came on an off day. Again, the staff and provider I met with were all very kind and seemed to be doing their best, given the chaos of that day.

My hygienist knew what she was doing and didnt hurt my gums or mouth while cleaning. The doctor was bubbly and very friendly as well lol! Definitely enjoyed the experience. As a side note, I always find it funny that they love to ask questions when you have stuff in your mouth lol. Cons: the front desk check in was slightly annoying. I had to sign documents on a pad without seeing the screen. Sure they told me verbally & provided a clipboard with the document, but I wanted to see the actual screen to ensure I was indeed signing the right thing. When I told the lady this she seemed slightly annoyed but she did share her screen with me. I just had a previous experience where I was listening to someone read the document while I signed and they withheld certain info that cost me $4000. Very hard lesson to learn. But I now read everything I sign. That small moment did not impact my overall experience so I still give full stars.

They want you to blindly sign a screen to something that they have on their separate screen that you can't see, but even if you see it or they print it they could steal your signature or you could actually be signing something you have no intention to sign. You spend your whole life being told to be cautious of this and yet now this wack process is becoming more and more frequent. And not only do they not read the document, they just sum it all up. What's the point of even having a signature at this point?

GO-TO DENTIST I always looked forward to my dental cleanings. When I couldn't do that during the pandemic, the first thing I did once we had the green light was book an appointment. Having just moved to Portland, I was wary about finding my go-to dentist in a new city. My gut instinct led me to City Dental, and I am fortunate that the first one I tried ended up being the perfect match for me. CLEAN OFFICE, FRIENDLY STAFF The front office staff is inviting and friendly. The dental office is on the 7th floor of a commercial building in downtown Portland, offering epic city views. The interiors are super clean, and the equipment appears well-maintained. TOP-TIER DENTAL EXPERIENCE The quality of care is top-notch. The dental staff's attention to detail and thorough cleaning are admirable. I always left the office feeling great. The goody bags they send you home with are a nice added touch. CONVENIENT PARKING There is a nearby parking structure where you can park for free after getting your parking validated by the front office staff. HIGH STANDARDS I moved out of Portland two months ago, and when looking for a dentist in my new city or any future city, I know I will always compare it to City Dental. TLDR Look no further!

We trust Dr. Whittemore completely and highly recommend Whittemore Family Dentistry to anyone looking for excellent, long-term dental care.

It's now almost 5 years later, and it's bonkers that I have ZERO complaints about them, only good experiences. I even convinced my wife to start going there too. Notable things about them: - I never feel like they're pushing services on me just to make money. They've never pushed tooth whitening on me. They've never tried to replace an old filling just because it's old. No one has ever asked me if I'm happy with my smile. THANK YOU. - The one time they did recommend an extra service -- some kind of fluoride sealant I think? -- I was all ready to decline, but they said it can help with sensitivity to hot/cold, so I said yes, AND IT WORKED. An actual improvement in my quality of life. - Their staff is competent! And great about communication. And it's not a new people every time I go in, so it appears people like working there. Most of this is a big (and very welcome) change from my previous dental experiences. I feel very lucky to have found them.

DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!!! Hamilton Sims replaced a…read morefilling in my partner's tooth about five years ago. For about a month he experienced horrible pain, so he went back and Sims said he still had fragments of the old filling and offered to fix it for free (as he should). During the second attempt not only did Sims split his lip to the point of bleeding while he was numb, but he buffed away the dentin just below the gum line, which caused severe pain. When my partner went back to see him since he was in such pain Sims threw his arms in the air and said, "what do you want me to do about it?" After seeing a new dentist, they suggested MI paste which helped immensely. Why Sims did not think to suggest this or show any amount of care, I can't say. Fast forward to today, my partner's tooth broke during breakfast. I don't know if these two incidents are related, but it makes me wonder. Regardless, Hamilton Sims did a poor job buffing away dentin, and when asked for help he didn't apologize or show any sign of compassion or care. DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!!

The TLDR version: these folks treated me so well that even after FIVE HOURS in the chair this…read moremorning, they convinced me to come back tomorrow for another session. Usually, I'd be out of there and over the horizon before the office assistant was done running my credit card. So if I can survive the place, you can too. The Long Version: I'll be the first to admit that I'm one of those dreadful patients who only goes to the dentist when it's an emergency. There's a nasty tangle of PTSD and mental health issues tied up with my dental history and that's all I'm sharing with you about it. Point is, I went more than THREE YEARS between trips to Grant Park Dentistry, the first visit being one of those crisis visits, during which various work was done and very competently, too (I think the practice has since changed owners, but I could be wrong). The second visit was prompted by the fact that I was aware that some (metaphorical) ticking time bombs that had been identified during that first visit were now flashing red and emitting ominous noises. So I put on my Big Girl Pants and hauled myself in before the counters all reached "000" and something really awful happened*. Yes, my teeth are a chronic mess. I very nervously explained the context behind my awful habits and the plaque-y, cavity-riddled mess that's the outcome of same. TO MY UTTER AMAZEMENT I wasn't shamed, eyerolled or dismissed - which was what I'd been bracing for. Instead, the dentist and his assistant presented a sympathetic bedside (er, chairside?) manner and were willing to let me brainstorm with them about possible ways to retrain myself into habits that neurotypical people acquire in childhood. What they did NOT do was send me into a shame spiral that would have had me out of there after the bare minimum of work was done, never to darken their door again until something literally crumbled. Needless to say, it was a much more pleasant experience than I had been expecting and it's not their fault that dental insurers are a bunch of unhang'd scoundrels - they were upfront about what the costs were going to be and I handed them credit cards until they told me to stop. The office staff was almost relentlessly cheerful and I heard lots of good-natured banter between them, which I took as a good sign. I've been to offices where the staff didn't get along and, oof, it made an unpleasant visit even worse. So, yay for good attitudes! They go a long way. The practice has all kinds of shiny doohickeys, including the ability to create crowns on site via a lathe-type machine which certainly beats the heck out of the "take a mold, wait two weeks and HOPE that the crown fits" approach. I also applaud the advent of digital x-rays which are so much quicker and easier to sit through. I'm sure this lards up the out-of-pocket cost considerably, but I'm okay with paying extra if it provides a quicker/more comfortable experience. Less trauma = increased likelihood that I'll return. Do I recommend this practice? Yes, absolutely. They might not be your cup of tea, dear reader, but they were mine. Good eggs, the lot of 'em. *Cue overshare: in the intervening three years, my mental health care got a serious overhaul, which is how I even managed to get my Big Girl Pants on in the first place.
