Bridgeview Dental Associates

I have been going to this dentist for several years, and am moved to write in particular because of the work of Val, my hygienist. She is thorough, gentle, and very patient with me. There may be other great hygienists there, but I am so happy with Val I have stuck with her. Also, have never been recommended for treatments or fixes not needed, as happened with a former Dentist, and appreciate that have been treated honestly by the entire staff.

I’m updating to four stars here. A really nice experience today. Last night I managed to pop off a 26 year old gold crown. Dr. Brilles saw me today, reinstalled it temporarily by noon.
I just finished having a wisdom tooth pulled. At 53 it’s major surgery and expect to take 5 weeks to start feeling well again. I think my experience was pretty typical for a guy my age.
Love Doctor Brilles and love Lori my hygienist. The ladies in the office are friendly and efficient.

I found this dentist through Groupon and had a bad experience at each of my three visits. The hygienist I had twice was very heavy handed and the cleanings were more painful than I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to quite a few different dentists over the years, in various cities, etc. The hygienist informed me in a way that made me feel lousy that my teeth and gums were in poor condition and I needed over $ 900 of gum work. I did the first of three installments of this treatment she said I needed which was excrutiating. I did not continue with it, despite her inappropriate shaming and insistance that I needed it. I went once more to that office and had a different hygienist who was also uncomfortable in her manner and not thorough at all. I have since been to a new dentist, and they said my teeth and gums are in excellent condition and all I need are basic cleanings, which makes me very suspicious of the motivations at Bridgeview. I will say, I liked the actual dentist there – he was nice and polite. But the hygienists used bad technique and need way better bedside manner. Plus, the second opinion I got said I did not need all that painful expensive work at all.

Originally went in a few years ago with a Groupon which was a smokin deal! Thought I’d give it a try for further dental needs and have had top notch service ever since. I have a great connection with Lori, my hygienist.
I’d highly recommend them.

I’ve been a patient for over 10 years. Dr. Parks is personable, efficient and the work he’s done has been very good. Their assistants are great. The staff is very friendly and efficient. Everyone there seems committed to doing an excellent job, and it shows.

Terrible dentistry skills, avoid this office! Had a 3 minute exam done by Dr. Parks who did not mention I had a cavity, went to a different dentist two weeks later who did a much better exam checking every surface and groove of each tooth and pointed out a cavity to me that I could easily see myself with a mirror. I quickly had all my records transferred from Bridgeview dental and will never go back especially after listening to Dr. Parks make rude comments about other patients to me (heard of HIPAA policies?). If you are looking for prevention and conservative dental treatment, Bridgeview is not the place for you because I guarantee if I would’ve let that cavity go another year I would be looking to spend $$$ for a crown making Dr. Parks a lot more money.

The staff at Bridgeview Dental Associates are very professional and friendly. They had made my experience pleasant as possible. As any good dental office does, they educated the customer about general dental healthcare.
The office is located on the 13^th floor where you get a great view of downtown while your waiting to get your teeth work on.
Bridgeview Dental not only did a great job of cleaning my teeth, they provided me additional quotes for other work that I need to get done down the road.
This place is located right across the street of the downtown food carts (9^th and Stark). Its hard to resist to get something to eat after getting your teeth cleaned.

The staff was not interested in taking the time to listen to me, or get my chart right. I went in for fillings on one side of my teeth, but was given anesthesia on the wrong side of my mouth. Wasn’t sure what was going on and wasn’t given time to even ask. The dentist came in and didn’t say a word before going to work on the wrong side of my mouth. I quickly sat up and told him to stop, which he didn’t take well. I did end up getting the correct side of my mouth worked on, with no apology for their mistake. When I went to a different dentist months later, they told me that it was obvious that the work done before was not sealed correctly. Two stars is being generous. I found a much better dentist that doesn’t charge nearly as much.

The people at Bridgeview were incredibly friendly. The cleaning took a little longer than I expected (but that’s because it included x-​rays and an exam), but it was literally the most thorough teeth cleaning I have ever received. I will definitely be returning.

Went in to use my groupon today and had a wonderful experience. Everyone was very friendly and very thorough. I will definitely be back

They were nice people. They took care of business, didn’t draw blood, had the highest tech gadgets, and didn’t lecture needlessly. Yes, yes, floss more, but some actually good tips instead of aimless lectures. And you can not beat the view.

I have to go to the dentist A LOT. And going here makes that so much easier. They do everything right. The desk staff are laid back and work hard to act like they remember you from sight (joking, they DO address everyone by name and make you feel welcomed back. I just personally find it hard to believe they remember everyone.)
The waiting area tiny because it is taken up by the largest most beautiful tropical fish display I’ve ever seen outside an aquarium. Really, bring your camera. I enjoy taking close up photos of the shrimp couple.
When you are called back you are treated to a view of the river, Mt. St. Helens, 4 bridges, Mt. Rainer, etc. etc. etc. Staring out those windows makes all the rest fade into background.
All staff are super friendly and act like they feel fortunate to work in this office. There are two dentists and I’ve seen both. They are friendly, chatty, work fast and do good work. I cannot recommend this place more. All equipment is state of the art. Xrays from any chair, tiny oral digital cameras. I got a plastic temporary crown whereas my last dentist used cement that would crack and I’d have to go get respackled in between visits!
I have not price compared much, but they charge roughly what my last dentist did, and my last dentist operated out of a strip mall and didn’t have AC. So you’re going to a run down hole in the wall now, you can probably go here for the same amount.
Also, they validate parking for the 10^th and yamhill garage so you could even stop at the 10^th and Alder foot carts and have parking covered!

I am a person who has always cringed about going to the dentist.
Now, I actually look forward to it.
While I have not recently had any major work done, I trust that if and when (knock on wood) I need a new crown or whatever, they will do an excellent job.
I first went to Bridgeview last June and they impressed me. I have been to many dentists in the past who, after an exam, tell me I need $xxxxx amount of work done. I had not seen a dentist in over a year prior to Bridgeview and was shocked to hear that I didn’t need anything! That’s what I like to hear. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.
Today, I went to Bridgeview for a cleaning and I felt like the charge for it was reasonable considering I do not have dental insurance (gasp). Marilyn is the dental hygienist I have had twice now and she is fantastic! I really like her and she does an excellent job and is just a very enjoyable person in general. Dr. Park came in during my cleaning to say hi and see how things were going and I asked him to check on a tooth for me that I was questioning and he was extremely friendly and helpful. I appreciate that he took the time to do that for me.
They validate parking for the smart park garage nearby on 10^th and Jefferson and all patient rooms have fabulous views of the city for an extra perk!
