Randy Castle, DMD

There aren’t enough adjectives I can use to give the glowing review Dr. Castle and his staff deserve. The receptionists were wonderful and very communicative leading up to the dentist apt. As a side note I had a few scheduling hiccups on my end and they were quick to oblige and make it all work out. The staff and Dr. Castle were incredibly friendly: wonderfully warm, professional and most of all — had me leaving with extremely clean, cared for and healthy teeth. I highly recommend Dr. Castle’s office.

By this point in my life I’ve lived a bunch of different places, and of course I’ve had to visit dentists in most of those places. Some of these experiences were not so good! Plus I became suspicious about some of these dentists’ honesty, as they would recommend treatments and procedures I wasn’t sure I needed. My co-​worker calls these treatments «the dentist BMW fund.»
I am so grateful to have found Dr. Castle He is very honest, does much higher quality work than most the other dentists I’ve seen, and his office and staff make things smooth and easy. Now my whole family, even my little kids, see Dr. Castle. He also helped me customize a night guard solution to greatly help with my nighttime teeth clenching (and subsequent morning headaches). None of the other Portland area dentists I saw previously could ever figure that out.
Since I started going to Dr. Castle, I have come to learn that he is also a great member of our local community. He donates his time to teach kids about oral health at the local elementary school and helps organize /​run some of the school fundraising events. And he doesn’t drive a BMW…
Most people can’t say they love their dentist. So if you are in the market for a dentist, or even just have to admit that your current dentist is only «OK», then give Dr. Castle a try. I bet you’ll be happy you did.

Dr. Castle and his team are friendly, professional and do excellent work. After moving to Portland several years ago, our family has visited many dental practices in both Portland and Lake Oswego. We were not happy with the service and care we received at any practice until we found Dr. Castle. No one likes going to the dentist but Dr. Castle quickly puts you at ease — even my 3 year old, who has never opened her mouth for any dentist to examine, was happy to let Dr. Castle clean her teeth!
Dr. Castles office is conveniently located in SW Portland with plenty of parking. Each cleaning station has an iPod holder /​iPod to distract your children (or you!) during the cleaning. The treatment rooms look out onto a garden area that makes for a relaxing surrounding.
A few months ago Dr. Castle filled a cavity for me — usually when I have cavities filled I can feel the filling afterward for weeks, which is annoying and uncomfortable. With Dr. Castles filling I experienced minimal discomfort during the procedure and then afterward, miraculously, I could not feel the filling at all. Also, as another reviewer stated — I hate getting numbing injections for fillings. Dr. Castle has a unique method of giving the injections that made it so I barely felt the shot — I was very surprised and pleased!
Overall my experience with Dr. Castle has been nothing but positive. I still don’t look forward to going to the dentist but at least now I know I have found a great dentist in Portland!

I’m embarrassed to admit that I haven’t been to a dentist in a very long time. Like many people, I think I just had some negative experiences at the dentist’s office as a kid so that as I got older, I would just find ways to quietly avoid that place whenever possible. I wish Dr. Castle had been the dentist that I grew up with.
His staff is super friendly, and put me at ease even after I told them how long it had been since I had been to a dentist. Also, they had great attention to detail, anticipating that I might have trouble finding the office as GPSes which for some reason doesn’t show the entrance road to the address. All the relevant information was in an emailed packet they thoughtfully sent me the night before my appointment.
The office itself with really well-​laid out and has a very relaxing feel to it. In the area I was it, two large windows looked out onto a grassy hill. Decorated in light wood colors, it seemed to have plenty of natural light.
Dr Castle himself was extremely patient and was excellent at explaining each part of the procedures that I was having done with some easy to understand analogies. He was also great about taking time to answer all of my questions. He has great chair-​side manner I guess.
Overall, it was an outstanding experience. I’d highly recommend that you check him out if you’re looking for a great dentist, supported by a great team.

I never really enjoy going to the dentist, but this office made it as smooth as one could expect. The dentist explained what he was doing in a way I could understand. I always hate getting injections, but I was pleasantly surprised that his technique made it so it didn’t even hurt. I am recommending Dr. Castle to my friends and family!
