Services
Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health through regular exams, cleanings, and early detection of potential issues. Services include dental cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and oral cancer screenings. By following ADA-recommended twice-yearly visits, patients can prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and costly future treatments while preserving natural smiles.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry addresses damaged or missing teeth with solutions like fillings, crowns, bridges, and implants. These treatments restore both function and aesthetics while preventing further dental complications. From minor repairs to full-mouth reconstruction, our team uses durable materials to create natural-looking, long-lasting results that improve oral health and confidence.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry transforms smiles through procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, and clear aligners. These treatments address discoloration, misalignment, and other aesthetic concerns to create beautiful, symmetrical smiles. By combining artistry with dental science, we help patients achieve their ideal appearance while maintaining proper oral function and health.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry helps patients with dental anxiety receive necessary care comfortably. Options include nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation to induce relaxation while maintaining responsiveness. This service enables completion of complex treatments in fewer visits while ensuring safety through continuous monitoring by experienced professionals.
Children's Dentistry
Children's dentistry focuses on early oral health education and preventive care. Services include routine exams, cleanings, fluoride applications, and sealants to protect developing teeth. Our team creates positive experiences to establish lifelong dental habits while addressing common childhood concerns like tooth decay and dental trauma in a child-friendly environment.

I'm so glad I found Dr. Becker and Downtown Dental Associates. I have complex dental issues and have needed a lot of dental work. Experiences at other dental offices left me with extreme anxiety about getting dental care. Dr. Becker is fixing all of that with his skill. patience, and kindness. Plus he has a good sense of humor and has never hurt me. I always feel listened to and treated as an individual here, Everyone here has made me feel well taken care of, from dental assistants Tammy and Jenny and my hygienist, Sarah who uses warm water for my cleaning. I've finally found the dental office I've been looking for.
Even if I were to move away from Portland, I'd still come here for my dental care. I'm so grateful for Dr. Becker and the rest of the staff at DDA. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Ingrid did a very thorough cleaning job-as usual- and gave me very helpful advice. Knowing that she is fully vaccinated & boosted allowed me to be very relaxed the whole time.
