Do genetics play a role in tooth problems? It is a question that has been debated for many years. There is some evidence that genetics may play a role in tooth decay. One study found that children who had a family history of dental cavities were more likely to develop cavities themselves. Here is what you should know.
Poor oral hygiene. Even occasionally skipping out on brushing, flossing, or dental visits can significantly increase your risk. Tobacco products increase the stickiness of plaque. They also interfere with the immune system, making it more difficult for the body to fight infections. When your gums recede, your teeth begin to look longer as more surface area is exposed.

Absolutely incredible place. I feel this place may have single handedly cured my fear of dentists. Every person has been so kind to me, they make me know I can pause at any moment, and Dr. Stubblefield(?) is amazing. He's very patient and efficient. They're cheaper here than some places I've been before and they have such better quality care. If you're an adult like me who needs nitrous to calm down, they have no problem giving it to you, whereas some other dentists insist on doing it without, or don't offer it whatsoever.
This place has guaranteed my business, I will absolutely be recommending it to every single person I can. If I could rate it 10 out of 5 stars I absolutely would, but 5 is the highest I can go.

My husband went to this dental, They Did the plan to fix the tooth, root canal and crowning, We are wondering why the root canal is out of pocket and everything is too expensive, by the way we pay it because we want it done soon as possible the pain every day, and then after the root canal procedure my husband mouth is numb, and realizing they did a wrong tooth!. We spend a lot of money on this dental and never tell us that the dentist didn't accept the United health care?! No wonder we paying soo much!

Sarah is a wonderfully caring and thorough hygienist. My daughter was frightened by the traditional fluoride treatment so Sarah instead painted fluoride on her teeth. It's this kind of special max customized care that reminds me why we have chose Oak Park Dental for over a decade. I've also seen two dentists and they're both fabulous.

My 8 year old daughter was in last week for her 1st exam and cleaning. Beautiful office, convenient location, amazing staff. I was impressed with the care she received, and the attention my 4 y/o son received while waiting in the waiting room with dad (he loved all the pretty ladies and the fish). My daughter was incredibly impressed by the prize selection and the $1 she earned from being in the No Cavity Club! Have you ever been to a dental office that pays the kids when they don't have a cavity? Yeah, me either. :) Can't wait to get the rest of my family in!

I have the worst anxiety going to the dentist but they made everything so smooth! Hygienist Sarah is AMAZING and totally calmed my mind. The doctor was quick and helpful. They answered all my questions. I've never felt so well taken care of and cared for by an office from the minute you walk in till the minute you leave. Outstanding.

Yes, I did left Atlanta, Georgia for "DANIEL P. O'LEARY, DDS", lol, temporary. I was about to go to Costa Rica. He definitely has a gentle hand and the treatment I received was first class. His caring team was professional, including patient treatment coordinator, Laurie the hygienist and Hope the dental assistant who knew I was scared and held my hand during the procedure. Thanks for having the latest advanced technology. Last but not least whoever said can't find affordable and caring dentist in America. Not looking. I found one.

I have happily been a patient at Oak Park for over 25 years. During those years I have always received great care. Their office is always respectful and organized. The staff is caring, well trained and make each patient's dental needs a priority. I have never felt like one of the masses there. They always make me feel like my dental care matters. Honestly, the best and most consistant health care I have ever received has been at Oak Park Dental. Kudos to the entire staff.

Wonderful, friendly staff. Always looking out for their patients. They make it easy to navigate insurance and there is not pressure to do anything costly. I got front crowns on my teeth and they look great and they wanted to make sure I was happy with them. Dr Kelly did an excellent job. I highly recommend.

This is a lovely office & good location. I had a great dental person, Laurie she was very gentle and knew her stuff! I also met with Dr. Sam Kelly who will do the heavy lifting on my dental work when I go back. Since this is my first visit I even got a really nice little thank you gifts, water bottle, toothbrush, floss, chapstick and a calendar-It was great! Above all really nice professional people. If you don't have a place to go you should check them out

Best dental office I have ever been too! Everyone is so friendly from the front staff to the hygienist, to the assistants and Doctors! I had horrible experiences at my previous dental office and Hope and Dr. Kelly made my appointment go so smooth and they were very informative. Before they got started on my crown they made sure they explained everything to me and made me feel like I was in very good hands! Great job Oak Park Dental! 10/10 recommend!

BEST DENTAL EXPERIENCE MY KIDS HAVE EVER HAD. THANK YOU MEGHAN AND LAURIE FOR MAKING MY SON AND DAUGHTERS DENTAL APPOINTMENT GO SO SMOOTH. I normally dreaded dental appointments for my kids because they would scream and cry so much but with Meghan and Laurie they did FANTASTIC. My kids were smiling and giggling during the visit, YES I said giggling. I will definitely be coming back to Oak Park Dental. Thank you for this amazing experience!

After talking with my original dentist in Portland I am now positive that I did the right thing by walking out of my appointment for a tooth extraction with Dr. Kelly at Oakpark Dental in Salem/Keizer. NOBODY, especially a patient should be spoken to the way he spoke to me. He made a rash judgment of my character without ANY reason! My dentist in Portland said he would have done the same in my situation and took me in immediately to perform the extraction.
I would NEVER speak to anyone the way this supposed professional spoke to me. Others said they would not have been so nice and urged me to file a complaint against him. Proceed with caution.

Dr Stubblefield is the best dentist I've ever seen. He's so nice and super gentle. I had to have a tooth pulled and I didn't feel a thing, not even the shots. He took his time and didn't rush through it like some dentists do. I have really bad anxiety and he made sure I was comfortable through the entire process. I def recommend him. Everyone else was super nice too! His assistant was really nice and made me feel really comfortable the whole time. Def 5 stars!

Is this place a used car lot or a dental clinic? I was seen by Dr. Kelly today (06/23/2020) for pain and sensitivity in a tooth. The exam was fine, but afterwards, the lady up front in charge of the money, Cathi, put a lot of pressure on me to schedule a follow-up appointment for the next day. I needed to figure out how I was going to pay for the dental work recommended, so I told her I would call the office later to schedule my next appointment. (Plus, she made me feel uncomfortable.) About an hour and a half later, I called and asked if the appointment available the next day was still available. (I believe I spoke to Cathi again.) She said that that appointment was no longer available and that I would have to wait over a week to be seen by Dr. Kelly. Okay, no big deal, but I didn't feel that I could wait that long (I'm in pain!), so I decided I would try other dental clinics.
I told my mom what happened, and she told me I should call Oak Park Dental back and ask to be seen by ANY dentist at the clinic. (They have several dentists there.) When I called a second time, I spoke to a different woman, Maria, who told me that the appointment with Dr. Kelly for the next day was still available if I wanted it, and she said that he had other available appointments this week. WTF? Was the first lady punishing me for not scheduling my follow-up appointment immediately? Who runs a business this way? Especially a business dealing with people experiencing pain? Oak Park Dental has permanently lost a patient.

My husband and I have been here in the past for emergency dental work and been served promptly and politely. This past week I had a crown fall off and that tooth held one end of my upper denture. They quickly took care of the tooth and got the crown rushed back for me so I could take off on a trip. The premises are quite nice and you are made to feel welcome which relaxes you. We both recommend this office.

Excellent office! Billing experience, facility atmosphere and doctor interaction was all GREAT. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new dentist. I got in either same day or the next day in May when my jaw began hurting so bad I couldn't open it more than an inch. I saw one doctor that morning and he called in another doctor to look at me once it was determined I needed my wisdom teeth removed.
They made me feel very comfortable with the options for anesthesia, as well as the billing procedures and price differences in my options. My dental benefit was less than the cost of my procedure so they laid both my options out clearly so I could decide what would work for me. They even gave me the "New Patient / No Insurance" self-pay exam pricing which was extremely low, in order to preserve what we could of my dental benefit. Also, they gave me a 5% cash payment discount on the difference of the cost of the procedure and the insurance benefit. AMAZING. I'm sorry to hear about the disappointments other people have experienced.
All I can say is ask questions and don't stop until it makes perfect sense and you are satisfied with the agreement, even if you have to go all the way up to the administrator.

Definitely quite the professional place. I had a lot of reservations about getting my teeth done since they were bad and I felt this overwhelming anxiety that they'd be mean or overcharge me. Not at all. It was $17 to be seen, and after that they let me know what needed to be done and then brought someone to the back where I was being seen to go over pricing with me.
From there, she helped me sign up with Care Credit since I don't have dental insurance and they scheduled me upon approval! Very professional, very nice people! I have a root canal scheduled for Tuesday and I'm no longer freaking the F out. I know I'm in good hands.

I've gone to this dentist for years, I love it! their new office is really nice. they really care about you and are really nice. I went for a cleaning about 2 months ago and out loud told the person I was with "I forgot my retainer case" and the lady at the front desk went out of her way and got me one! I don't plan on switching dentists anytime soon, I recommend this place to everyone!
