My new patient experience at Lake Oswego Dentistry exceeded my expectations (which were already high from a patient referral). The design and ambiance of the office is very calming. I was impressed with all aspects of the visit, including a non-rushed “get-acquainted” meeting with Dr. Robinson, and the care received in the initial examination and thorough prophylaxis. It is apparent that this practice maintains a high standard of care and I am confident in their ability to address all my future dental needs.

Wonderful dental office. The service is exceptional. The confirmation text to the welcome when you walk in the door- both receptionists at the front t desk said hello and smiled. Ronda (sp?), the hygienist that worked on me was great. My previous hygienists have also been wonderful. Dr. Robinson is always upbeat, friendly and highly experienced. I can easily say this since I am also in the dental profession. I would highly recommend this office.

I’ve been a patient at Lake Oswego Dentistry for over 15 years, and I wouldn’t trust my dental care to anyone else. The entire team is consistently friendly, professional, and genuinely cares about their patients. The office is always clean, welcoming, and well organized, and they make every visit as comfortable as possible. They take the time to explain everything clearly, and I never feel rushed. Over the years, I’ve always received exceptional care and have been impressed by the quality of their work and their attention to detail. It’s rare to find a dental practice that provides such consistently outstanding care year after year. I highly recommend Lake Oswego Dentistry to anyone looking for a dentist they can trust for the long term.

I arrived at my 8:00AM appointment a few minutes early and looked through the window. They were having a "family" meeting which kind of endeared me to them. Then Dr. Robinson greeted me at the door and invited me right into his office. I felt like royalty as a new client. Jaci and Felicia...
I arrived at my 8:00AM appointment a few minutes early and looked through the window. They were having a "family" meeting which kind of endeared me to them. Then Dr. Robinson greeted me at the door and invited me right into his office. I felt like royalty as a new client. Jaci and Felicia were very friendly and helpful. Dr Robinson found an alternative way to remedy my problem which is much less invasive. My only regret is that I didn't find this dentist office 20 years ago...

M. B. (Verified Patient)

Thanks so much for completing a full cleaning and exam though I was almost a half hour late.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams

What happens during a dental cleaning and exam?

During a typical visit, you'll receive a professional cleaning, a comprehensive dental exam, and any necessary X-rays or scans. Our hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar, then polishes your teeth to help prevent buildup and surface staining. Your dentist carefully examines your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw for any signs of dental issues. These visits allow us to catch small problems early and keep your oral health on track.

What’s different about my first dental cleaning and exam?

During your first visit, you will feel welcomed and relaxed. Dr. Robinson personally greets every new patient and spends about 20 minutes getting to know you before any treatment begins. You'll take a short tour of the office, then receive a full set of digital X-rays, an iTero scan, and a comprehensive exam. After that, you'll meet with our hygienist for a personalized cleaning. We end the visit with an optional fluoride treatment. The focus is on connection, comfort, and creating a clear understanding of your current oral health.

What technology do you use during cleanings and exams?

We use advanced technologies to make your care more precise and comfortable. Digital X-rays help us spot cavities or bone loss early. Our iTero scanner creates a detailed model of your teeth and bite without the need for sticky impressions. Cavity detection devices allow us to catch decay at its earliest stage. All of this helps us explain what we see and guide you through any next steps with clarity.
