Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego

I had my first appointment September 23rd. Experience with front desk so far has been mixed, from excellent to not so good. First impression of the dentist is overall good. Of course I'm nervous and waiting over a month for my next appointment is hard. On Nov 1st, I will have two out of three teeth pulled, apparently they all have an infection and we'll start by removing the two that are the worst. They are old root canal teeth and after a really rough two years with my health, I've been reading old root canal teeth can negatively impact overall health. I'm really hoping for the best. The cost is depressing, I'm taking out a loan and am delaying needed house maintenance to make this happen, but it's not just expensive here, it's expensive everywhere, at least in this country. After researching, it was important to me to have zirconia implants instead of titanium. Not a lot of dentists offer that option at this time. But they do here. Since there is an infection, the process will take longer and cost more. I'll keep you updated as to how it goes.

My family and I have seen Dr. Bowden for several years. We are happy with the high quality dental work and cleanings we have received. Some of my family needs extra care and they do a great job making them feel at ease during the appointment.
Dr. Bowden is very knowledgable and takes the time to answer questions we have about treatment. His staff is friendly and helpful. The warm neck pillows and blankets are a plus.The doctor and staff are top notch!

I have been a nervous dental patient for as long as I can remember. A recent issue with my tooth forced me to step out of my comfort zone and seek care from a new dentist. I called a few places, spent some times researching online and decided on Lake Oswego Aesthetic Dentistry. I was initially interested because of the ozone therapy they offer but Peg really sealed the deal with her exceptional customer service skills. I’ve been into the office a few times now and every experience has been 5 star.

I appreciate the ability to easily text and email with the staff. The office is in a great location, clean and comfortable. They offer blankets for your lap and warm neck pillows. There is a lot of communication during procedures about your comfort levels and they genuinely care about how you are feeling.

Dr. Bowden is friendly, thorough, and best of all works fast. In the past I would leave most dental visits feeling a bit traumatized and I am happy to report that isn’t the case here. I am thankful to have found a place that not only meets but exceeds my needs and expectations. Keep up the good work!

I absolutely adore these people. I came to them after a horrible experience with another dentist in Lake Oswego left me feeling demeaned and humiliated. I have a couple of rare illnesses and had used a supplement that had created several cavities when I had previously been that patient that might need a filling every 5 years or so. The other clinic decided I was too much of a liability and “voted” to deny care to me after making me wait weeks to get in and charging me for my initial visit and extensive X-rays.

Dr. Bowden and his staff didn’t bat an eye. Everyone that works there is so kind and engaging. I am not a nervous patient but do appreciate how gentle and thorough they are. Heated blankets and pillows, great music, and caring folks with a sense of humor make this office a real find. Thanks guys!

I recently went in for a filling and was offered a laser procedure instead of the usual numbing procedure. Wow, what a difference - It was quick, painless, and I felt great afterwards. I highly recommend Dr. Bowden. Everyone in the office is very friendly and professional. Great experience.

I received a crown from Dr Bowden and it has broken apart. Total cost for the crown from Dr Bowden, and the work to repair it, will exceed $3900. Not to mention, the significant pain and discomfort this has caused. I do not recommend Dr Bowden.

Update: A filling that Dr Bowden placed now needs to replaced with an onlay, just months later. Total cost, with the filling and repair, $2000. Again, not to mention the stress, pain, and time involed

I’ve been with Larry, Holly, Peg, Jill, and the rest of the crew for over 10 hrs. Can’t say enough good things about them. I have teeth that have caused me problems and pain my entire 74 yrs. I have experienced a horrible dentist as a child and he set the trajectory costing me pain and well over $20,000. Dr Bowden and his wife left a Blazer game to come take care of my sudden pain. They are so kind and excellent at their jobs all with a sense of humor.

Dr. Bowden is by far the best dentist I have ever had. He is professional, yet warm and friendly. I have been fortunate enough to experience Melanie as his assistant. I'm a very nervous dental patient. Dr. Bowden helps put me at ease. It's not only his kindness, but his superb work that keeps me going back! Thank you, Dr. Bowden for my beautiful smile! I am thrilled!

Dr. Bowden has been my family's dentist for as long as I can remember, and I'd recommend him to anyone! We've all had a positive experience every time we've been to his office.

I've had a lot of dental work done with Dr. Bowden and it still looks and feels amazing 6 years later! My family and I are very impressed by the quality of his work! I would give 7 stars if Google would allow it ;) I highly recommend Dr. Bowden to everyone I know!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH again for an incredible experience!
