"What if you didn't have to see five different providers just to get your dental work done?"

At Oregon City Family Dentistry, Dr. Rima does something really special β€” she offers all types of sedation AND performs the full range of treatments herself. That means you're not bouncing between specialists, scheduling multiple appointments, or worrying about whether another provider is in-network with your insurance.

Need an implant? She can do it while you're comfortably sedated. Need a cleaning, fillings, crowns, or even a root canal? She handles all of it β€” in one place, with one provider who already knows you and your care plan.

Our patients tell us all the time how much relief they feel knowing everything is coordinated under one roof. No confusion. No extra appointments. No starting over with someone new who doesn't know your history. Just comprehensive, compassionate care from someone you trust.

It's not just convenient β€” it's dentistry designed around YOUR life. Because we know how precious your time is, and we believe getting the care you need shouldn't feel like a part-time job.

You deserve dental care that fits your life, not the other way around. When you're ready for a simpler path to a healthier smile, we're here.

"What makes a dental team truly special?"

At Oregon City Family Dentistry, we believe exceptional patient care isn't about job titles β€” it's about working together as one team.

Here, the hygienist, assistant, and doctor don't work in silos. We communicate constantly because your care is a shared responsibility. If one team member notices something, we all talk about it. If someone is stronger in one area, they pick up for another. That's how we make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

In corporate dental settings, it's often "that's their job, not mine." But here? We've built something different. A culture where everyone supports each other β€” not just for smooth patient care, but so your entire visit feels seamless and stress-free.

When we communicate well as a team, you feel the difference. Your day flows better. Your questions get answered. And you leave knowing you were truly cared for by people who genuinely work together for YOU.

Because teamwork isn't just how we work β€” it's how we care. πŸ’›

We just got our new furniture delivered for the front room – it's really comfortable and cozy.

But here's the thing – the furniture is just a small part of what we're creating here.

The feel we're going for is a place where it's not tense or stressful. We're serious about our work and taking care of you professionally, but we also have a good time.

Everybody feels at ease when they're laughing or joking about something or talking about their kids. We're creating an environment where people feel comfortable.

Clean but not sterile. Professional but not cold. A warm environment where you could come in and give somebody a hug if you wanted to.

I think that's really missing in the big corporate dental world. It's very sterile. Doesn't feel warm. The staff doesn't seem happy to be there. Doctors are a revolving door.

That's not what we have. We've been in Oregon City a really long time. We're part of the community. We enjoy what we do. We have fun with our patients.

Our patients are what make it fun. Our team is what makes it enjoyable day in and day out.

You can feel that when you walk in.

🦷 "I haven't been to the dentist in 10 years... I'm absolutely terrified."

We recently had a young woman come to us with exactly those words. She was shaking. She could barely sit in the chair. Ten years of avoiding dental care because of fear.

Here's what I told her -- and what I tell every patient who feels this way:

I understand. I'm not here to judge you. I've had bad dental experiences in my own past. I know exactly what that fear feels like.

After almost 15 years of providing sedation dentistry, I've learned something beautiful: every patient has their own comfort level, and my job is to meet you exactly where you are. ✨

Some patients need just a little help relaxing. Others need to be completely asleep. There's no wrong answer -- only what works for YOU.

That young woman? We took care of all her dental needs while she was comfortably sedated. When she woke up, she couldn't believe it was over.

But here's the moment that stays with me: the look in her eyes when she realized, "Oh my God... I can do this."

πŸ’› That turnaround -- watching someone go from absolute terror to empowerment in a single visit -- that's why I do what I do.

If fear has been keeping you from the care you deserve, please know this: You're not alone. You're not broken. And there IS a way forward that doesn't involve white-knuckling through it.

We see you. We understand. And we're ready to help you take that first brave step.

πŸ“ž Call Oregon City Family Dentistry at 503-656-8250 to talk about your sedation options. Your comfort matters to us.

Sometimes when someone wants veneers, we need to talk about Invisalign first.

If there's overlapping or shifting where teeth aren't straight, sometimes we can do veneers over the top. But sometimes we need to move those teeth with Invisalign first to make positioning ideal, then move into cosmetic work.

Here's why this matters – typically, veneers last longer if the bite is in ideal position.

Usually, chipping and breaking happened in the first place BECAUSE the bite isn't ideal. Teeth don't fit into each other properly. If we just cover those teeth with veneers without addressing the underlying position problem, we're setting them up to chip or break again.

Sometimes we can move teeth with orthodontic treatment then evaluate whether cosmetic dentistry is needed. Other times we move all teeth into a better position then do cosmetic work just on the ones that show when you smile.

It's about creating a result that's not just beautiful, but functional and long-lasting.

I know it might feel like extra steps when you just want prettier teeth right away. But doing it right means your veneers will look better and last much longer.

🦷 "I want to come in, but I'm just so nervous..." We hear you. And we've got something that might change everything.

For the average anxious patient, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is often the perfect solution β€” and here's what makes it so convenient:

✨ You can drive yourself to AND from your appointment. No need to arrange a ride or take the whole day off.

Here's how it works: We place a small nose piece, and you simply breathe in and out through your nose. That's it. The gentle sedation helps you relax while we take care of you.

When we're finished? We turn off the nitrous and leave you on oxygen for about 5-10 minutes. By then, you're back to 100% normal β€” clear-headed and ready to drive yourself home.

No lingering grogginess. No complicated aftercare. Just a calm, comfortable dental experience that fits into your real life.

We know dental anxiety is real, and we never want fear to stand between you and the care you deserve. Nitrous is one of the many ways we meet our patients where they are β€” with compassion, options, and zero judgment. πŸ’›

If you've been putting off dental care because of nerves, let's talk about whether nitrous might be right for you.

πŸ“ž Call us at 503-656-8250 to schedule your visit. We're here to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

"I know I shouldn't be eating this" or "I know drinking that is bad for my teeth..."

Here's what we typically tell patients – No, no! We want you to enjoy your thing, whatever your thing is. If it's your wine or your coffee, have it! Just have some water after.

We’re all pretty realistic about this in our practice. Our expectation is not that you're going to live a perfect life where you never enjoy anything. We're not going to lecture you. We’ll just help you understand habits that can maximize your oral health and enjoy life.

We're all human!

We drink coffee. We enjoy wine. We understand people want to live their lives and enjoy the things they love.The key is being smart about it.
Rinse with water after you have something acidic or sugary. Don't sip on soda all day long. Take care of your teeth with good brushing and flossing habits. But don't stress about enjoying a glass of wine with dinner or your morning coffee.

We're not here to make you feel bad the things you enjoy. We're here to help you take care of your teeth while also living a normal, enjoyable life.

Having a realistic, non-judgmental approach helps our patients feel more comfortable being honest with us about their habits. And when you're honest with us, we can give you better guidance that fits your real life.

🦷 "Will my same-day crown last as long as one from a lab?"

This is one of the most common questions we get β€” and we love answering it!

Here's the truth: The materials we use for same-day crowns are the SAME high-quality materials labs use. The processes are very similar too. The only difference? We make yours right here while you wait, instead of sending your scan off-site.

✨ That means no temporary crown. No second appointment weeks later. No extra time away from your family and life.

And durability? Let's talk about that.

Zirconia crowns β€” when well cared for β€” can last 15 to 20 years. That's not a typo. We're talking about a restoration that can serve you for decades.

Even our E-max crowns (which can be slightly more vulnerable if you're someone who loves crunching ice or corn nuts 🧊) have been going strong for 12-13 years in many of our patients' mouths without a single problem.

What we want you to know is this: You're not sacrificing quality for convenience. You're getting the same excellent materials AND the gift of time back in your day.

That matters to us because we know your time is precious. We know sitting in a dental chair isn't anyone's favorite activity. And we believe you deserve modern technology that works FOR you, not against your schedule.

Same-day dentistry isn't about cutting corners. It's about respecting your life while giving you a restoration built to last. πŸ’›

πŸ“ž Ready to experience same-day crowns? Call Oregon City Family Dentistry at 503-656-8250 to schedule your appointment.

🦷 If dental anxiety has kept you away, this changes everything.

Here's what we love about same-day dentistry for our anxious patients β€” you get it all done in one fell swoop.

One appointment. One visit. Done.

You come in, get relaxed and comfortable, and before you know it, the procedure is complete. No coming back for a second appointment. No weeks of dreading the next visit. No building up anxiety all over again.

For patients who choose sedation with Dr. Rima, it gets even better β€” you can have ALL your treatment done at one time. We're talking crowns from start to finish, all while you're peacefully asleep. ✨

You wake up, and it's over. Really over.

We understand that for many people, it's not just the procedure itself that causes stress β€” it's the anticipation, the multiple appointments, the having to psych yourself up again and again.

Same-day dentistry eliminates that cycle completely.

One deep breath. One appointment. One fresh start.

You deserve dental care that works WITH your anxiety, not against it. πŸ’›

One huge advantage of having four doctors in our practice – you don't just get one opinion. You can get two or three or four, depending on what's needed.

We're constantly bouncing ideas around, asking each other for input, sharing experience and thoughts about cases.

In medicine, we're always trying to think outside the box. "What would you do?" "Am I thinking about this right?" "What are your thoughts about this X-ray?" That kind of collaborative effort can be so advantageous for patients.

Support is nice for us as doctors, but it's really great for patients. When you're dealing with something complex or you're not sure which treatment option is best, getting multiple perspectives from experienced doctors helps you make more informed decisions.

Sometimes one doctor might see something on an X-ray that another would approach differently. Or one might have experience with a particular technique that could benefit your situation. That collective wisdom benefits you.

We're not competing with each other – we're collaborating to give you the best possible care and outcomes.

Here, we're a real team working together for your benefit.
