Timber Dental East Burnside

I had a lovely experience here. Melissa really took the time to make sure I was comfortable and well informed regarding each step of my new patient appointment. They were able to accommodate a same-day cavity filling and schedule me for a cleaning within two days. Dr. Nguyen was also very kind and made me feel at ease. As a team they were thorough and professional. P.S. It was really comforting being able to watch a baby animal documentary during my filling, thank you!

Excellent choice if you have a history of dental trauma (background: I experienced a lot of dental work in my childhood and preteens with a few anesthesia mishaps and shaming over pain/cavities/braces). Dr Nguyen was kind, efficient, and thorough in her explanations of care. Melissa and Jamie were equally attentive and gentle; I really felt like everyone was there because they care about dental and patient health. They ask on the intake form about level of nerves, which they demonstrated sensitivity to at all stages of the visit.. Even though I was scheduled for just an initial exam (bitewings/xrays, dental habits, plan of care, etc), they were able to fit in my first cleaning round immediately! There's a parking garage, which is such a plus given the area (street parking would've been a nightmare). Appreciate they have Netflix to help with distraction. Overall, I had a great experience. Be back soon!

Incredible experience with my same day emergency root canal. Dr Afshar & Rose took excellent care of me during some of the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. Dr. Afshar was professional, transparent & made me feel at ease. The staff & energy at Timber Dental on Sandy was the best experience I’ve had at a dental office and I’m happy to be a new client!

Seems like I had a brand new dental hygienist who was very unsure of the process and steps. Imagining took over 40 minutes. The dentist was frequently visibly and audibly annoyed with this hygienist, which added to the awkwardness. There’s room for more training and possibly testing hygienists before having them work individually. New hygienist appointments should be longer and disclosed to the patient. Now I have to come back in for my cleaning, since I didn’t have a two hour appointment block set. Other hygienist was nice and very sweet but needed more support to do her tasks, which is hard on everyone, including the dentist, the patient, and dental hygienist. Also seems like they do root canals but referred me out, which is confusing. I was hoping there could be another dental provider on staff that I could see but that was not given as an option, which could be due to insurance… PS: not sure why the owners responded the way they did unless it’s an auto-response, bc it did not meet my expectations and that should be apparent if you read the review…

I really love Timber dental. So much that I returned even after moving 20 minutes away and going to another dentist. They are so gentle, kind, and thorough with explaining every thing. I really value that! Melissa and Dr. Nguyen are fantastic. They were even able to get me numb after i had two visits with another dentist and couldn’t get numb! I look forward to many more visits.

I hate that I can’t remember the name of my hygienist, but they are amazing and is always so informative! They give entertaining ‘flight attendant’ talks giving me new knowledge about oral health. Everyone is super friendly. Timber Dental sends you helpful text reminders which I appreciate for my upcoming appointments.

What can I say?! If you want to have a good time while someone pokes around in your mouth, go to Timber Dental.They are positively JOLLY. Careful, thorough, sensitive, knowledgeable and positive, they take good care of you and your teeth. They don't try to talk you into anything you don't need. Thank you for the love, Sophia, Kelsey, Dr. Nguyen, Lou and Megan! Can't wait for my next appointment!
