Dental Testimonials

I broke one of my front teeth during a summer rafting trip -- terrible, right? To make matters worse it broke off below the gum line, so I had to get a dental implant. My usual dentist did not do implants and he recommended that I see Dr. Carothers. I was expecting it to be a pretty rough procedure, what with extracting the root and all that, I thought it would be painful as heck afterwards, with lots of swelling, etc. As it turns out it was completely trouble free. He did the extraction and placed the implant with a temporary crown in the same visit. It was not really any more unpleasant than getting a filling. Of course, I was just happy to be having it fixed. Afterwards it was slightly sore for a couple of days and that was it. When I came back to get the permanent crown I was happy to discover that he could make the crown right here in the office, so there was no waiting around to get the crown back from a lab. I know that it can be very difficult to make the color match when replacing a single front tooth, so I wasn't really expecting perfection. I was wrong. Dr. Carothers made two different porcelain crowns, painstakingly tinting each one to make the color match as well as possible and then picking the best of the two. The final crown was perfect, and now I have my smile back. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Carothers, he is very caring and very talented, and he has a terrific staff. You will not be disappointed.

I'm an expert when it comes to dentists -- I have so many fillings in my mouth, it sets off the airport metal detectors. I've gotten to trust Dr. Carothers more and more, as the old fillings from past dentists -- and surrounding teeth -- begin to fail. Because of his skill, my visits are comfortable and painless. Because of his staff, I feel more relaxed. And, because of his knowledge and use of modern dental technology, I can go from "cracked to crown" in about 90 minutes -- no temporary, no follow-up. In addition to being technically skilled, his work is aesthetically pleasing. If you're tired of ham-handed dentists, if you feel like a "patient number" instead of a cared-about client, if you are afraid to visit the dentist -- go see Dr. Dave and his staff -- the Michelangelo of the molar!

Never in my life have I had a dental experience like this one. I called Dr. Dave's office around 5 PM on a friday with a pain that would not go away. I was in tears and didn't know how I was going to make it through the weekend. Dr. Dave stayed late to give me a root canal. How amazing, I was out of pain and happy to have a doctor that truly cared! Oh and the orange juice and Starbucks he offers to all his clients are a plus...Thanks, Dr. Dave!

I have loved every experience at Dr. Dave's office! The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and treat each patient like they matter. Dr. Dave is efficient, yet gentle and uses some of the most up to date equipment I have ever seen. I am never nervous before a visit to Dr. Dave's office, and I quite enjoy the complimentary beverages offered to clients while they are waiting. I would recommend Dr. Dave to anyone looking for a dentist.

I have been seeing Dr. Carothers for years. At one point I tried switching to someone more convenient to me. I saw two other dentists and was not satisfied with either. I returned to Dr. Carothers and know from experience that he is superior to any dentists I have ever used. Also, he has a state of the art practice, a great personality, and wonderful staff.

Dr. Carothers is the first dentist to listen to me and take my concerns seriously. What a relief! He is gentle and kind and very skilled. He practices mercury-free dentistry which is important to me. His office staff are friendly and welcoming. I could not recommend this practice more highly.

My husband and I moved here from California about a year and a half ago and blindly were looking for a new dentist. We completely lucked out finding Dr. Carothers and his team! They are absolutely professional, use the latest technology, and everyone there is friendly, receptive, and on top of everything. Unfortunately, my husband lapsed in regular dental check-ups previously so he had a lot of catching up and dental work to be done over this past year but Dr. Dave and his staff worked with us to get the timing right financially. This is a first class dental team who you can trust. We recommend them, definitely.

I'm a dental hygienist and had the pleasure of working with Dr. Dave for quite a long while. I was immediately made part of his work family and was very happy working there. In fact I was so happy that after I was no longer working for him I made him my personal dentist. I know that all the patients I saw in his practice absolutely loved him. He is so easy going and makes all his patients feel comfortable and at ease. Plus, I can't forget to mention that his skills are excellent. You should give him a try. Say hi for me.

I found Dr. Carothers through 1-800-dentist when we moved to Portland 17 years ago. I have always been pleased with the entire staff and experience we receive. He was my children's first dentist and has taken such good care of them, they have never "feared" going to the dentist. Even though we have moved farther and farther away from his office over the years, I have never considered changing dentists. Plus, I love the complimentary frappuccinos!!!

I have been going to Dr. Carothers for about a year now and I have been very happy with the service! The ladies there are so helful when I have questions and working out my crazy schedule, all with a smile and great attitude! I am about halfway through my Invisalign treatment and I have to come in once a month. A couple times I have had to bring my 2 year old son and they are very nice to allow that and make my visit quick and easy!

It's been years since I've been able to eat some of my favorite foods without embarrassment or pain. Now once again I'm enjoying raw vegetables, apples, nuts, etc., just like everyone else. For so long I was embarrassed when dining out because my dentures would slip. Dr. Carothers' treatment of implants to hold my dentures in place is truly amazing. His entire staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Carothers to anyone who is looking for outstanding dental treatment.

I am so happy with my teeth implants that Dr. Carothers did. I have had dentures for over 30 years, but they were causing me so much discomfort, and I was suffering from bone loss. Now that I have implants, I can eat any food I want (even in front of others), have more confidence in social settings, and I smile all the time! Thank you, Dr. Carothers & staff for all your care and help!
