Please consider helping out this young couple with their medical bills this holiday season. This kind family has been patients of mine for over 25 years. The Oregonian did a story on this young woman who went into cardiac arrest a day after her wedding on her way to her honeymoon. Turned out she had a rare form of a genetic disease. Thanks for reading .

It was time for me in the dental chair. Always good to be the patient once in awhile. Got myself a beautiful gold onlay for a cracked tooth by Davis Dental Lab and Alex Dahm. Feels great Alex, Pam, and Ryan! Thanks for the awesome work. Ryan Krusee, Alex Dahm

Not really a lunch in Portland but a day in the office. This memory surprisingly popped up on my iPhone today. Pretty happy with how this turned out. Senior dental student who wanted gold inlays to replace his larger composites. April 2022

Two fun weekends with these enthusiastic young dentists learning excellence through the Conservative Tucker Gold technique. Thank you to Davis Dental Lab for their donation of waxing and casting these beautiful gold restorations. We prepped various Tucker preparations and learned the finishing technique on cementation on mounted extracted teeth. So impressed with their hand skills and wanting to learn this discipline.

We are so grateful for our loyal patients! Darlene is one of our favorite patients and has been a patient at our office for over 63 years with Dr. Poulson, Dr. Chang and now Dr. Dahm! Unfortunately we took this photo after Darlene's dental appointment and her smile is a bit droopy because she always usually has a beautiful smile on her face.

I'm delighted to announce I have turned my practice over to the hands of Dr. Alexandra Dahm. Our new practice name will be Haven Dental PDX. Please check out our new website at havendentalpdx.com for more information. Below is a letter from Dr. Dahm to our patients. Please meet Dr. Alexandra Dahm and her husband Andy Carper and their dog, Otter!

To Our Patients and Friends,
When I moved to Oregon from Ohio in 2020, I was not only looking to find a home in the place that I live, but I was also looking to find a home in the place I work. I feel so lucky and grateful that I was able to find that with Dr. May Chang. Since the day I walked in the door, you, the patients, the team, and Dr. Chang all welcomed me with open arms and trusting hearts. I attribute that trust to the trust you all have in Dr. Chang. Rightly so—she is simply the best. She has created a standard of excellence in this office with a focus on prevention and long-lasting healthy dentistry. This is the legacy that I feel so honored and excited to continue.
As the new practice owner, I hope to continue to earn your trust in our office. Your goals, desires, comfort, and the preservation of your teeth and smiles will always be my top priority. I will continue to learn and grow as a provider so that I can provide you with the best dentistry possible. I have and will continue to invest in the continuing education of myself, the team, and you!
When I think of the legacy that Dr. Chang has created and the goal that I share for how I want to practice dentistry I think of the word safety. Preventative dentistry, minimally invasive dentistry, dentistry that focuses on whole health is, all-in-all, safe dentistry. Our office is not only a reflection of me, or Dr. Chang, but of the whole team as well as the patients we attract. I want our office to feel like a place of safety and refuge in this time of uncertainty and volatility. That is why I have chosen to rename our office “Haven Dental PDX” and I would like to share my mission statement for Haven Dental PDX:
Our mission is to assist our patients in achieving smiles that last a lifetime. We practice health-conscious dentistry in a friendly and inviting environment that is safe for all, while equipping everyone involved with the tools necessary to achieve smiles that last through education, empowerment, and prevention. We want to enrich our community and have fun while doing it!
Thank you for continuing on this journey with me. You will continue to see many familiar faces, as well as some new ones at our office. I feel lucky that I will be able to continue working with Dr. Chang 1-2 days a week for the foreseeable future. When I’m not at the office, you’ll find me spending time out in the beautiful scenery of Oregon, hiking, camping, paddling, or walking my dog with my husband or partaking in all the delicious cuisines that Portland has to offer. We really do live in such an amazing place and I’m so happy to have found my home!

Sincerely,

Dr. Alexandra Dahm DDS
