Aaron B Stensvad, DMD

Ripe off dentist, I had never paid to go to the dentist more than the co-​pay,. They dont tell you the truth about the procedures and then you just get the statement on the mail for things that you didnt even know about them! they pretend to be too nice and caring. Ripe off, never going back again!

Dr. Stensvad, and his hygienists are the best. Really nice people. Only concern I have are some billing issues from time to time.
If you fear the dentist, this is the dentist for you. Dr. Stensvad does the most painful procedures painless. Well, as painless as possible. They are spendy but as I found out (by going to green apple-​oh god, they are horrible!) that the price is well worth the experience& quality.

The dark haired woman who works here was so incredibly rude! Arriving early for my appointment, I had planned on walking around Burnside for 15 minutes to get out and enjoy the sunshine. She very emphatically informed me that even as a paying customer I was not allowed to leave my car in the (otherwise empty) lot for those 15 minutes. Seriously??!

I’ll agree with past comments that the office staff is just fantastic. Really good conversation can kill a great deal of pain. This was the first time I felt a comfortable balance between the assistant talking, and removing hands from my mouth to allow me to respond. The office itself is quite nice, also. Small parking lot, trendy, but still dentistly design and ambiance inside. Magazines other than People and ESPN ;).
I went in as a new patient, having jumped from dentist to dentist over the past 10 years. I was in there for 2 hours, during which they x-​rayed, cleaned, advised, took questions, and explained all the symptoms I have that past dentists overlooked.

I don’t know prices, as I have insurance, but they went back and forth to make sure everything was covered, and offered lower cost options for additional services.

Easily scheduled for an appointment.
Accessible hours for me. opens up at 7am.
Friendly office staff;
Hygenist was amazing. very informative; GENTLE; attentive; considering that i’m a wimp and scared of my teeth getting cleaned because i know they can be sensitive she did a great job!
Dr Stensvad — professional with a casual touch. keeps you at ease, knowledgeable; No deficiencies noted. Good local anesthesia technique– as painless as they can be.
all in all — as a dentist myself. i will go back to this office for my dental care.

A couple of years ago, I had a dentist appointment with Dr. Stensvad (not my first time there), and I decided to reward myself with a massage appointment afterwards. And I kid you not, the dentist appointment was more enjoyable than the massage. True story.
While Dr. Stensvad himself is certainly a nice man and a great dentist, it’s really his dental assistants who take the cake. They’re the ones you spend the most time with anyway. Every one who has worked on me has been confident, capable and put me right at east. The environment is clean and modern, and has an aesthetic that I find really pleasing.
Highly recommended.

I had some horrible work done at Willamette Dental when I first moved to Portland, including a sloppy filling done by a 22 year old dentist that required a crown to fix. After that mess, I had major anxiety returning to the dentist after a year-​long hiatus, but Dr. Stensvad has been awesome. I love the atmosphere in the office — clean, modern, and relaxing. Dr. Stensvad is friendly and I’ve never had a doubt about his professional judgement. I drive from St Johns to see him and would recommend this office to anyone.
