Laurelwood Dental: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Tiff is the best hygienist! She’s so amazing with both my kids. The entire team is very positive.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been at Laurelwood for at least a decade . I rarely write reviews and it’s ironic that the review I’m writing is about a dentist because typically I hate going to the dentist but if I have to go, I’ll tell Are top-notch. Staff are friendly, they’re efficient Their notification and scheduling system is helpful , and they are really patient centered.
Fantastic experience: Great dental office in every way. I have been going here over 30 years...used to be at a different location. Why change, if you love what you have?
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this office for about 25 years. I’ve always been pleased with my treatment. I’m always greeted with a friendly smile and I never have to wait past my designated time. The hygienist I use Lisa, is efficient and complete. A particular thing I like about her is she doesn’t try to make conversation with me while she’s working on my teeth. I used to see Dr. Rice, but he retired and now I see Dr. Hall. I completely respect his opinion and trust that I am in good hands. I’ve recommended this office to many people and will continue to do so. Oh yes, I love their holiday chocolate chip cookies that they provide to their patients every year.
Fantastic experience: Dr Hall and his team are just the greatest! I got right in when I had pain in my lower gums and he took care of it immediately. He never suggests work that is unnecessary until it’s time to take care of it, so I really trust him. And my teeth cleanings are so fun, I look forward to them! Tiffany is so upbeat and so thorough that the appointments are just great. I am so thankful that I was referred to this office when I moved to Portland a couple of years ago.
Fantastic experience: I want to start by stating that before coming to this clinic I spent nearly 30 years at my prior dentist. I switched due to a change in hygienist. I visited Laurelwood because a close friend goes here. I heard a couple of concerns about them offering crowns due to needing to pay for their machine, but honestly I don't see this. I find them to be patient focused, clear on costs, and a couple folks are hands down the most amazing ever. Violet is incredible, best hygienist I have been to in my life. Amazing bedside manner, thoughtful, compassionate and patient focused. Absolutely love being her patient. Carly, who works directly with the dentist who did my crown has a subtle and kind way of easing a person. I felt cared for and respected the entire time.
Fantastic experience: Love seeing Violet and Dr. Hall !
Fantastic experience: Tiffany and Dr Edwards are awesome! Always take great care of me and monitoring of my dental health.
Fantastic experience: Best dentist in Portland. The oral hygenists are great too.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at Laurelwood for ~20 years. I am so happy with their care that I refuse to find a new dentist near my home in Eugene and happily drive the 100 miles each way. I can't say enough kind things about all of the individuals that work in this office. They treat you like family and I almost enjoy flossing now.

Fantastic experience: Dr Reed Hall and staff are not only highly respected by their peers, but they also provide outstanding customer service

Fantastic experience: The service at Laurelwood Dental has always been outstanding. I’ve been a client for 27 years! From fro t desk to the dentists they are all wonderful. They have always made treatment recommendations based on my dental needs, and monitor things for a while before recommended additional services. I have seen most hygienists at the clinic and they are all wonderful.

Fantastic experience: Always a pleasure and consistently made to feel valued, respected and "heard" not only by Dr Hall but the entire staff! I was so fortunate to have been referred by a previous client to Dr. Hall and the practice!
Fantastic experience: Best dental clinic in town. No matter who you see, you'll always get the most compassionate care with everything explained in detail. It's in an excellent location as well. The view of the treetops is very relaxing. These are amazing, wonderful, compassionate, beautiful humans who go the extra mile to make your experience perfect. As well, they are informed with the latest technology available and have the latest equipment in their clinic. A new crown in 1 hour. Don't waste your time going anywhere else. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic experience: These people are professional, kind, fun and LOVE answering my nerdy dental questions.
Fantastic experience: Our whole family has been coming to Laurelwood Dental for many years. We recommend them highly. Both of the dentists are top notch and the rest of the team is amazing. Our kids even LOVE coming to the dentist for their exams and cleanings!
Fantastic experience: My experiences have generally been really good, and I think as a result, my “mouth health” is better than ever; Violet - my hygienist - was excellent, even gave me a new tip on more effective flossing :)
Fantastic experience: Amazing service! Clean, happy, bright office with friendly staff. Dr.Hall was great! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Always a great experience! They make me super comfortable, which really helps with my fear of dental offices.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly office, makes you feel very comfortable. Dr I Edwards was Great! Explained every detail as he did the work (crown). Highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: Best staff! Friendly and thorough. It's the only place I trust with my teeth.
Fantastic experience: Tiffany was amazing as always! Dr. Edwards created a magic tooth. Melissa took incredible glamour shots and scans. Admin got all dental scheduled, billed and ordered in one afternoon. Cleaning, crown and orthodontic scan done in 2.5 hours!!! NASCAR service… BOOM!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been treated by Laurelwood Dental for many years. The doctors and hygienists have always been pleasant to deal with, and have kept me in good dental health.
Fantastic experience: When I walked into the waiting room, it was like seeing old friends again. The warm smiles were welcoming. A few minutes later I was greeted by Tiffiny an old friend.my cleaning was quickly and efficiently done. X rays quick and painless Dr Hall, another old friend, did a thorough exam, my teeth polished, and I was on my way. Payment was easy, and I left. As usual, a pleasant experience! Jean Lynch
Fantastic experience: Love LaurelWood dental they are the best! They never make me do things that I don’t need and my teeth have never been better. So happy I found them
Fantastic experience: Dr. Hall is one of my favorite doctors of all time, and Violet and Laura are wonderful hygienists. My experience at Laurelwood Dental has always been positive. I was referred to Dr. Hall in 2018/19 by my endodontist after a root canal therapy when my existing dentist was not able to seat a crown. I was able to get in for a time-sensitive procedure (thank you, front desk!) and Dr. Hall warmly welcomed me and seated a crown at my first visit. So happy I made the switch to professional and friendly Dr. Hall who I actually look forward to seeing every six months.
Fantastic experience: Always professional. The hygienist notice right away, with out any hints from me, how much healthier my teeth and gums were.
Fantastic experience: Laurelwood Dental is terrific. I have yet to meet an unfriendly employee there, from the front office staff to the hygienists to the dentists. I have had a crown there replaced in a single day. I have my teeth cleaned by Stephanie and she is the best. I'm so happy that I found Laurelwood Dental.
Fantastic experience: Laurelwood Dental is fantastic! We’ve been going for years, and while no one looks forward to going to the dentist, Drs. Hall & Edwards are so capable, kind, and compassionate, every visit is pain-free, dread-free. The hygienists are just as wonderful and do everything they can to put you at ease, from numbing your gums before cleaning to holding your hand during drilling. Another HUGE bonus of going here—they have a machine—such fun to watch—that makes your crown while you’re there! No suffering with a temporary for 10 days. I cracked a tooth, and was in and out of there with a new crown in 2 hours!
Fantastic experience: Very impressed with my treatment. Dr. Hall and his assistant Melissa took great care of my needs. Having a crown made in office definitely a bonus.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Laurelwood Dental for more than 10 years and couldn’t be happier. Saw Tiffany for cleaning and Dr Edwards for a checkup today. They made the visit easy and pleasant as always. Can’t recommend enough.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Edwards is the best! I always feel listened to, and he explains everything really well. So glad i discovered Laurelwood dental when I did!
Fantastic experience: Our family has been going to Laurelwood for over a decade. Nicest and most professional team! I love the way the dentists respect the hygienists.
Fantastic experience: Longtime Laurelwood Dental patient here and re-confirming this is an awesome shop for Dental work. Everybody, and I mean everybody is nice, top shelf facility, always on schedule, and my teeth are happy. Cheers! This is a repeat. Repeat for emphasis. Nothing has changed. Why would I go anywhere else?
Fantastic experience: I appreciate working either way Dr. Hall on my optimal dental health; I feel heard, respected and that his knowledge and expertise is top notch.
Fantastic experience: I have been going here for years! My hygienist Lisa is so friendly and is gentle and low key while she works. I had a gum “situation” and Dr Edwards diagnosed and referred me quickly to a specialist that got it handled. They think into the future to help me find ways of preserving my teeth and gums as long as possible. I feel incredibly lucky to have found this dental office!
Fantastic experience: Best dentist office I have ever gone to. My dental hygienist, Tiffany, is so sweet and knowledgable and clearly cares a lot about her job. I feel like I get the highest quality of care and would recommend Laurelwood to anyone in Portland.
Fantastic experience: Laurelwood dental is phenomenal. From the front desk, to the Hygenist who makes me laugh until I cry, to the dentist who is thorough, knowledgeable and complete! Can’t say enough good things! Every single appointment!
Fantastic experience: I experienced very professional and caring dental care at Laurelwood. As a former hygienist, I would reccomend this practice for comprehensive , current practices in a friendly atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Amazing chair side manner, very smooth appointment! Each step of the treatment procedure was explained along the way! Dr. Edwards is amazing as well as his fabulous assistant Kayla.
Fantastic experience: Cleaning with Tiffany was fantastic as normal. As almost a 20 year customer beginning with Dr. Rice the experience never fails to be friendly, thorough and comfortable.
Fantastic experience: True professionals! I’ve been in dentistry my entire career, so I really appreciate good care! Everyone at Laurelwood is part of the team and focused on making it a great experience! I could not be more impressed nor could I recommend more highly.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at my appointment today. Violet was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my questions about my dental health. I could tell she was very thorough with my cleaning, which I truly appreciate. She was professional, skilled, and an absolute delight. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: As someone who avoided the dentist for years after a series of unpleasant experiences in other offices, I have been so happy with the level of care at Laurelwood Dental. They have been really great with my dental anxiety, and I am able to get cleanings and treatment without the near panic that I used to have. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was very friendly and gracious in accommodating me as a last minute new patient. Dr. Alexander went above and beyond to make a quick referral possible and I very much appreciated all of their consideration.
Fantastic experience: I finally got to return to Laurelwood! I had to leave when my new medical insurance did not include dental with Laurelwood. After several bad experiences, my insurance added Delta Dental which allowed me to return to Dr. Hall and the wonderful staff at Laurelwood. It is amazing how different a high quality dentist is from poor to mediocre ones!
Fantastic experience: this is my first google review. i thought it important to take the time and tell you all how i look forward to my dentists appointments….. yep you heard me right. it’s obvious the level of care laurelwood dental has for their clients. things i look for in a provider are consistency, an overall positive vibe, folks that work with my insurance seamlessly and a pleasant/clean office environment. check check check check. super special shout out to VIOLET who is my go to hygienist and is the main reason for this review. it’s obvious she has a passion for what she does and has a knack for making folks feel at ease in a naturally uncomfortable environment that is the dentist chair! thank you violet for your dedication to your craft. you’re a rockstar. if they are accepting new clients look no further and i’m sure you’ll be writing a five star review of your own.
Fantastic experience: We LOVE Laurelwood Dental! They were so kind and efficient working on my daughter who is behind on her dental care while in college. We prefer to have her seen here less often than use a different dentist in her college town because they are so awesome.
Fantastic experience: I hadn’t been to the dentist in almost/more than 10 years, before coming to this practice. And after the last year, even after l needing more intensive cleanings, I no longer fear going. My hygienist, Violet, is so great, and the doctors are, as well. 5/5
Fantastic experience: Great dental practice!!! Friendly staff and Dr. Hall spent time to go over what treatment was needed and answered my questions. My hygienist was so gentle and did an excellent job. I highly recommend this practice to anyone needing a great dentist.
Fantastic experience: This was my first visit to the office and I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly the staff was and how fantastic my tooth looked after my procedure. Thank you Laurelwood Dental for a great experience.
Fantastic experience: We’ve been coming to Laurelwood Dental for many years as a family. Our hygienist Tiffany is just the best, and we (kids included!) always look forward to catching up with her at our cleanings. It’s a great organization, wonderful and skilled staff, and able to do all procedures quickly and in house. If you’re looking for a new dental clinic for your family your search is over. Laurelwood Dental is the place
Fantastic experience: Love the team at Laurelwood Dental—Tiffany, Stephanie on the Hygenist side and my dentist Dr Hall. They are all consummate professionals with a great sense of humor and care for patients. No one loves going to the dentist but this team makes it fun and as tolerable as possible. They are also into the latest in dental technology. Good choice for your teeth!
Fantastic experience: Everyone I've seen at Laurelwood Dental has been so friendly and accommodating. I've been seeing Laura for my teeth cleanings. She's super friendly and kind and makes my appointments a pleasure. Both Dr Hall ( who I saw today) and Dr Edwards who I usually see, are kind, patient and so great at what they do. I highly recommend Laurelwood dental.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Laurelwood Dental for years now and have no complaints!! The staff is competent, friendly and very accommodating to patients' individual needs and circumstances. I highly recommend them. They are THE BEST!!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Laurelwood Dental for about seven years and absolutely love them. Today Violet was my hygienist, and it was the best cleaning I’ve ever ever had. I have very sensitive teeth and I never once felt any pain. Would totally recommend them to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Literally the best ever. They are understanding, professional and efficient. Every time I am there I am reminded why I drive the 45 min from my house to keep them as my dentist. It feels like they are actually invested in my success. I went a long time without insurance and I was embarrassed when I first came to them. They made me feel comfortable and I didn’t feel judged at all. Of you are looking for a dentist I could not recommend them more. I promise you’ll be so glad you did.
Fantastic experience: I switched to Aurelio’s dental about fifteen years ago after some less than pleasant experiences at other dentists. The people are always friendly and the dental care is excellent. They do a fabulous job working with my insurance, too. I highly recommend them to anyone who asks where I get dental care. Two thumbs way up!
Fantastic experience: These dentists know their stuff and render superb dental services. I put my face through a steering wheel at age 18 and had massive dental trauma which I have had treated in both Miami and Philly by Ivy League trained dentists and these providers are equally skilled. Two thumbs up!!
Fantastic experience: First visit and I really liked this place. It was a good mix between feeling personal and homey vs. hi-tech professional. Very transparent about finances, and they did a great job with my cleaning.
Fantastic experience: I've been really happy with this dentist. Dr. Hall had an affordable, effective fix for some problem teeth when another dentist had insisted on on-going, expensive, painful maintenance. I have also had a great experience with the hygienist and front office staff. My teeth feel good, nice people, great customer service.
Fantastic experience: We have been going to Laurelwood Dental since the 1990’s. The friendly, professional staff is always very accommodating. We moved to AZ a few years ago and still come back to Portland for our dental care. We highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Laurelwood Dental is the best dental clinic in Portland, hands down. Everyone—from the front desk to the dental assistants and the dentists, Dr. Hall and Dr. Edwards—is friendly and professional. Even more importantly, I have never received better dental care. I've had multiple crowns installed at Laurelwood, among other work, and everything has always turned out great! I've tried many dental clinics in Portland and now the Eugene areas, and none have been up to par with Laurelwood. I've referred many friends and family to Laurelwood and recommend anyone reading this review give them a shot!
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at Laurelwood Dental for 20 years. I've had several crowns, and some old fillings replaced. Without exception, every visit, from routine check-ups and cleanings to artful restorations, has been met with the highest level of competence and care from each member of the team. This practice well deserves my highest recommendation.
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing the doctors at Laurelwood Dental since I got my very first tooth as a baby. I always feel listened to, cared for, and supported by the staff at Laurelwood. I highly recommend using this crew for all your dental needs.
Fantastic experience: Laurelwood is the best! I've been a client for years and recommend them highly. Super professional, very high quality work, and they are friendly and the staff is happy.
Fantastic experience: If you’re a dental chicken like me, this place is clucking great! I’ve been going here for years and can’t say enough good things about Dr. Hall, the hygienists, and the staff. Dr. Hall is calm, professional and super communicative – he always lets you know exactly what’s going on and the state of things inside your pie hole. You can tell how much he cares about his patients and the whole team proactively works to make sure those pearly whites stay happy and healthy. I recently had a crown put on and the process could not have gone more smoothly. They have this amazing machine that mills the replacement tooth right in the office while you wait. So there’s no temporary crown and the new one fits absolutely perfectly – it feels like the stuff of science fiction. Laurelwood Dental FTW!
Fantastic experience: I was a regular patient at Laurelwood Dental for about 7 years, seen by Dr. Edwards and Dr. Hall for various periods. I came in rough shape, having an infected root canal and crown that they attended and put me in good hands to resolve. After my implant via their referrals 5 years ago, my dental health has been pristine. Thanks to my hygienist, Stephanie, who is so kind, fun and thorough. I’m going to miss her now that I’ve moved. She’s very positive and an amazing person. You do pay out of pocket as they’re not in any network, but I never regretted the extra dental insurance cost through my employer. If you’re new to the area or looking for a dentist with a good vibe that prioritizes your dental health, this is the spot.
Fantastic experience: Always professional and very competent. Hygienist Lisa and the gang do excellent work. No pressure to perform unneeded surgery, no pain when it IS needed. Good care all 'round.
Fantastic experience: No complaints at all! Scheduling was easy, the hygienist and dentist both explained what they were doing throughout the visit, and frequently checked in on my comfort. It also cost half what my previous dentist quoted.
Fantastic experience: The dentists and entire staff at Laurelwood Dental are super friendly, super competent. Our whole family has been going to them for 16 years, and we have been recommending them to everyone! And if, heaven forbid, you should need a root canal or oral surgery (as we have), the partner firms they work with are the same... competent, friendly, and, I would add, full of integrity. We appreciate their commitment.
Fantastic experience: Our family has been going to Laurelwood Dental for decades. Great staff. Great service. 2 hour same-day crowns made using the 3d scanner & in-house milling process make this process efficient!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Laurelwood Dental for at least a decade. Always great service and two crowns that are still in place and working fine. Lisa is my hygienist and she is always a pleasure to visit.
Fantastic experience: By far the best dental practice I have ever visited. They are organized and very good at communications. They do great work. They are staffed with the nicest people. Can't ask for better.
Fantastic experience: I recently changed to this practice about a year ago. I have only great things to say about them. I noticed a small jag in a tooth over the weekend. As a busy teacher in her last week of school, I called late Monday afternoon. They had me in on Wednesday morning. They called me back 2 min early and had my missing filling corrected, including x-rays in 28 mins flat! I was able to make it back to work before students showed up. They are always so timely, kind, and willing to talk through procedures. If you are looking for an easy to work with dental office, this is the one!
Negative experience: I always have a wonderful experience at this office. Dr. Hall and Dr. Edwards are awesome, as is Brittany, my dental hygienist. The front office staff are very warm and welcoming and I very much enjoy coming here for my dental needs. I highly recommend Laurelwood Dental. Edit: I will now be taking my dental needs elsewhere due to this office’s inability to code the billing correctly. I have dental insurance so there is ZERO reason I should be paying the entire bill out of pocket for a procedure unless they are doing unnecessary dental work (which is what I’m now thinking). I am extremely irritated and disappointed with my experience here this past year. I will be moving my entire family to another dental practice.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful team. Everyone is beyond kind, helpful and professional. From front desk to dental assistants to dentists, they are all wonderful. They are able to do a full crown appointment in a couple hours. Such a great experience here.
Fantastic experience: Laurelwood Dental is a great place to have you teeth attended too. All the staff are friendly, kind, and pure professionals. The facility is clean, bright, and comfortable. The dentists are well trained, use the latest techniques and have great "chair side" manner. I have recommended them often and have always received "thank you" from my friends after they have gone.
Fantastic experience: Laurelwood Dental is the best! They are **always** on time, and everyone (dentists, hygienists, office staff) is courteous and takes the time to explain things. I have been a patient of them since 2018.
Fantastic experience: I had a new dental hygenist this visit (Violet) and she was wonderful. My teeth tend to stain and right now they are spotless! Dr. Hall did his professional exam and I always appreciate his attention to details. I am so glad we found this dental clinic.
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentistry. Dr Hall is great. He knows when something needs immediate attention, and also when to put it on his “watch” list…allowing time to see how things look at my next visit. Getting a crown here is amazingly easy. One day-only a couple of hours-no temporary-I love it! My hygienist is thorough, kind, professional and gives me excellent feedback to help me maintain the best possible dental health. I highly recommend Dr Hall and his team.
Fantastic experience: Excellent procedure! Dr. Edwards and Jacob were thoroughly professional and my crown was installed as painlessly as possible. I have had no complications since, and I would definitely remove Laurelwood to anyone.
Fantastic experience: I’m a long standing dental-phobic. A middle aged health care professional who’s seen alot of dental practices. A am now a willing, pro-active Laurelwood client thanks to the incredible, caring team at Laurelwood Dental. Dr Edwards and Reed, Tiffany. My teeth and mouth are much healthier and I’m so grateful! They are skilled, truthful, careful and remember all the little things that matters so much. Whole family goes and moo e ever cancels!
