5+ years ago I went in for what I was told would be a cavity filled. I got a doctor I had never met prior. After what seemed like a long time with an seemingly exceedingly large amount of pressure and grinding I heard a loud crack. "The cavity was too deep, we have drilled through the tooth. You have 2 choices, A: get a root canal right now, B: remove the entire tooth." This was my first cavity and I was in no hurry to remove any teeth, so I agreed to the root canal. Long story short, after I got my crown, I never went back to Sleep Dentistry. More disturbing, my tooth has never stopped hurting since even though I'm not supposed to have any root left. Finally had to go to an endodontist who informed me that the crown seal had failed, the filling inside had failed, there may still be root remaining, and at the end of the tooth is small space in my jaw filling up with fluid and becoming infected. So yeah, root canal needs redone. I looked on the website and didn't see the doctor that did my "work" but I did see the doctor that I consulted with when I got x-rays... thought I should at least let people know.
I haven't been to the dentist in years, so I was a little embarrassed to go. I could not believe how friendly the staff was. The assistant who helped me was courteous and so nice. I have other work coming up, and am looking forward to revisiting the clinic. Pricing was given to me upfront and it was reasonable for the work projected.
I have a slight fear of dentists and needed a wisdom tooth removed. I had tried another dental office with an oral sedation, but, i was able to feel everything even with half of my face numb. I finally found Sleep Dentistry and they did a great job! I don't remember a thing and I am no longer in pain. Highly recommend this place! Staff were very friendly, calming, patient and LISTENED! I am hoping they can do the same for my daughter, so she can get the smile she finally deserves! I won't go anywhere else now.

I have feared the dentist for the better part of 10 years - with the exception of an emergency root canal about 4 years ago, I have avoided the dentist. I needed E X T E N S I V E work done, cavities, root canal, crowns, a DEEP cleaning from all the years of not going. I tried going to the dentist a year ago and cried through the entire 15 minute exam and never went back or scheduled an appointment to have the work done that they suggested. I can't explain my anxiety, nor am I proud or excited to admit I have such severe anxiety regarding the dentist. I hate that I can't just sit there and control the flood of overwhelming emotions - But I can't. I found Sleep Dentistry of Portland on Google during a desperate search to find someone to help clean up my mouth but could just put me to sleep so I didn't have to deal with the panic and fear associated with leaning back into that chair. When I met with Angelica - She was the best possible person to work with me. She was kind and understanding from the second I met her. I couldn't even tell her how anxious I was before she read my body language and began explaining the exact feelings that were running through my mind - she knew how I was feeling. Instead of rushing me or belittling me - She comforted me and reassured me that this is what they do - what Sleep Dentistry is all about. I was shaking just being there and my heart was racing - but as time went by, she put my heart and mind at ease (as much as possible anyway). Then she introduced me to Dr. Haymore - Hands down - T H E - V E R Y - B E S T - Dr. around. He was just as kind and patient. He explained to me step by step what was going to happen (because somehow he knew I was a control freak). When I came in for my visit - He was calm and kind, just as before and was confident which made me confident in him. He played amazing music and he was my very first "good experience" at the dentist. I chose to be sedated but awake. He was so good throughout my 5 hour appointment and I didn't panic, I didn't cry, I was okay. I made it through. I left in NO PAIN, (a little groggy - Thank God) but all in all - IN GREAT SHAPE. I honestly CANNOT say enough about this company and it's staff. Blessed beyond measure is an understatement. I am so thankful I found them and so thankful - SO THANKFUL - for their endless kindness and patience.
