Seeing the Evidence. Revealing the Truth
At Complete Health Dentistry of Portland, we believe that the mouth is the gateway to the body and a healthy mouth equals a healthy body! We partner with our patients to create optimal health through individualized, evidence-based dental care. Our mission is to build trust and empower our patients to improve their lives by revolutionizing how people think about dental care.
Our Story
Since 2000, as a family-oriented dental practice, Dr. Dowsett and his team at Complete Health Dentistry of Portland has been proud to combine the latest research, diagnostic, and treatment techniques to give our patients the information, skills, and dental care to live the life they dream of. From new ways of salivary diagnostic testing and screening to novel ways of treating conditions, we can help our patients understand the relationship between mouth and systemic health. And, most importantly, coach and empower them to take charge of their own health - starting with mothers and children to be and continuing throughout their entire life.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to build trust and empower our patients to improve their lives. We are revolutionizing how people think about oral health care. You have a story to tell; we are here to listen. We believe that health is the foundation for a joyful, rewarding life. The mouth is the gateway to the body, and health starts here. True prevention - not just early detection and treatment - is possible, and it is our primary goal. We are passionate about educating our patients about their oral health - that their oral health has a significant impact on their overall health.
Our Approach to Care
Our approach to care is different. Think of us as your family's physician of the mouth. We understand how oral health has a significant impact on overall health, and that nutrition, self-care, education, new approaches to diagnosis and therapies all play an interconnected role for a beautiful smile and an enriched life.
Our Services
We offer a wide range of dental services, including crowns and bridges, fillings, sleep apnea treatment, TMJ/occlusal therapy, teeth whitening, dental bonding, veneers, implants, and dentures. We cater to individual dental needs and happily bill most dental insurance plans. We also offer Dental Wellness Plans that provide savings to our patients and simplify the process for those without dental benefits.
