Our goal is to give each patient the best experience possible. We do this by providing exceptional service and gentle dental care.
Nitrous Oxide has been the primary means of sedation in dentistry for many years. Nitrous oxide is safe - the patient receives 50-70% oxygen mixed with a small amount of Nitrous Oxide. The patient is able to breathe on his or her own, respond as needed, swallow, talk, and remain in control of all bodily functions.
As a valued patient at Dugger Dentistry, we appreciate the reviews and feedback you give us. Our goal is to treat you as we would our personal friends and family. We want to continue growing our practice and welcome even more great patients! Your feedback helps searching patients know just who we are, and what we have to offer.

I count myself very fortunate to be a patient of Duggar Dentistry. Dr. Duggar practices at the highest level of the profession and he is easily the best primary care dentist that I have ever had. His team are all experienced professionals who are highly skilled. In addition to the top tier competence, Dr. Duggar and his team create an atmosphere of calm and respect for the patient. I always leave Duggar Dentistry feeling better than when I arrived. I love these guys. They are great. I recommend Dugger Dentistry 100% and without reservation.

I'm extremely saddened that I have to make this review. I first want to say both the dentist and dental hygienists have been wonderful to go to over the past couple years, and this is not a reflection of them or their dentistry work. Unfortunately, because of the receptionists rudeness and lack of sensitivity to COVID, I will have to find a new dentist.
When I entered the office today, the receptionist did not have a mask on. I kindly asked her to put a mask on and let her know that my husband has an auto immune disorder and I have a five month old son. She proceeded to tell me that she was vaccinated, and that because she was answering the phone she couldn't wear a mask. She wished me "good luck in finding a dentist office who wears a mask."

I've seen Dr. Dugger for many years, and while no one likes to see the Dentist, I've never had a bad experience with Dr. Dugger. The staff are personable, kind, and friendly. The service is nothing short of excellent. Even getting numbed up with Novocaine is never painful. Dugger Dentistry has my unqualified endorsement.

If there were 10 stars, I would've given them to Dugger Dentisty! Their staff is kind, professional and more than that, take time explaining the procedure to the patient. Leslie is a delightful hygienist and Dr. Dugger always stops by to see you after the cleaning. The office staff is warm and takes time explaining charges.

Best Dentist and staff that I have ever had. I am not a big fan of the "Dentist Office" so I went in with my guard up. Dr. Dugger repaired/replaced 3 crowns that had been done at another Oregon City dentist that was done poorly and caused pain. The new crown work was a breeze and beautiful. Recently, he put in an implant to replace a tooth that needed to be removed, and it has gone extremely smooth.
The bottom line, Dr. Dugger is a true craftsman of his trade. He brings tremendous skill and knowledge to his profession, always putting the patients care before anything else.a rare quality. The friendliness and kindness he and his staff present are truly a bonus! I am never changing dentists.

My wife has been having some extensive work done with Dr. Dugger and his staff. She has had more than one bad experience in a dentist's chair so she has a great deal of anxiety, Dr. Dugger was patient and very compassionate with my wife. She has completed her procedures and received very concise instructions for appropriately maintaining her dental work. We would recommend Dr. Dugger and his great staff to anyone who is looking for excellent and knowledgeable dental care with the added benefit of warm, caring staff.

I came to Dr. Dugger after a somewhat traumatic dental experience that left me with a fair amount of dental anxiety. I am so grateful to have found a dentist that is patient, talented, and sensitive to folks that experience anxiety at the dentist. Dr. Dugger and his staff have been wonderful. Scheduling is a breeze. I will be recommending Dugger Dentistry to all of my friends and coworkers!

I changed to Dr. Dugger after my wife had a good experience with her first visit and couldn't be happier. I had a broken tooth that others didn't have a practical solution but right away Dr. Dugger gave me a couple of options and one he suggested worked our great. The staff is very friendly and take the time to explain the procedures so you feel comfortable right away. Highly recommend them.

I actually called to make a teeth cleaning appointment for my daughter. I didn't want to pass my dental fears on to her. With her appointment set I inquired for myself. I personally dread getting my sensitive teeth cleaned, but it had been years since the last cleaning. They had a same day opening. I figured I better jump on it before I changed my mind. Leslie was amazing! With her tricks of the trade I had no pain at all during the cleaning and after. I even prescheduled my next dental cleaning. My fear and pain relieved. Great Dr and staff!

A broken crown lead me to my hillside, neighborhood dentist. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Dr. Dugger and his professional staff are not only dental pros, they are warm, friendly and very accommodating. X-ray technology has advanced in new and Uber-cool ways. A pain-free, full mouthed pano (for we lay folks, panoramic) X-ray happened in a nano-second. Coolest picture ever.
All my teeth, skull and part of my spine in full glory! A "ghoulish" mug shot suitable for later Halloween decor. Jack and Jill will be falling down a lot! Going to the dentist at Dugger Dentistry is virtually a pain-free pleasant experience.

I just moved to the area and needed to find a great dentist I searched and liked the reviews for Dugger Dentistry. Having just visited to get a crown installed, I am really impressed and couldn't be more happy. Everyone was amazing and very helpful. My experience was relaxing and Dr Dugger was awesome. I highly recommend Dugger Dentistry

I had to get a root canal done and am terrified of the dentist. Dr Dugger made this experience the best dental experience of my life! I will NOT be going anywhere else for dental work! Thank you so much! Five star rating is not enough for this dentist. He was amazing and made me feel comfortable the entire time!

Five stars just isn't enough! Dr. Dugger and his staff are amazing people. I've been terrified of going to the dentist my entire life and I can happily say I no longer have that fear. I actually look forward to my appointments now. If you're looking for a new dentist or considering checking out Dugger Dentistry, do it! I promise you won't be disappointed!

I don't go to the dentist often. I am in my early 40's and have never had a cavity or dental work. So when I started having tooth pain I feared the worst. I did a little looking around and picked Dugger Dentistry as much for their location as their reviews. I am glad I did. The office staff was friendly and professional. Dr Dugger himself is laid back and practical.
They found the root of my problem (pun intended) and referred me to an oral surgeon to get my painful wisdom teeth removed. I went back for a cleaning the next week and the hygienist was very thorough. All in all I have had good experiences there and will returning for regular cleanings and check up. I would recommend them. My wife also went in for the first time last week and had a positive experience.

Dr. Dugger is exceptionally caring, empathetic, and meticulous. As a patient who has experienced numerous dental challenges over the years it is refreshing to be in the care of a highly professional staff who truly seek to make office visits an excellent experience. No more dreading the dentist, instead I look forward to seeing their smiling faces. Give Dugger Denistry a try, you won't be disappointed!

Best dental experience ever, hands down! My husband and I both have visited Dr. Dugger and both loved our experience. He is very attentive, friendly, and explains the issue very well and even takes photos so he can show you an up close view of the issue. Really makes the decision making process a lot easier when you can see the proof. Great dentist and staff, highly recommended!

I should preface this by saying that Dr. Dugger squeezed me in last-minute to look at a problem tooth because he's - wait for it - my boyfriend's brother's fiancee's dad. I had never met him before, but even that he agreed to do that shows he's a great guy. So I might be a bit biased, but even without that connection I would be very impressed.
The waiting room is very warm and inviting - no sterile dental environment here. Even the fish in the fish tank seemed happier than normal. And the technology! Oh, the technology. I'm not sure if this is standard now, but for an X-ray they just held up what looked like a huge laser gun to my mouth, zapped it, and a JPEG image instantly appeared on a computer. Similarly, they had a little probe that they used to take tiny pictures all over my mouth that popped up on the screen right in front of me.
So awesome! My boyfriend's brother had mentioned the doctor's blinding enthusiasm for his profession, and it shows. He is insanely knowledgeable about the field, and taught me all kinds of things about teeth in the short time I was there. He views dentistry very holistically - for example, did you know that stress, hormones or lifestyle changes can cause gingivitis, which can cause a toothache?
I sure didn't, and I think a less informed and more trigger-happy dentist might have just pushed for me to get a root canal. Dr. Dugger is definitely out my price range for actually cleaning or procedures (by which I mean it costs some amount of money), but if you can afford it, indulge and get the best treatment there is!
