PATIENT REVIEWS

Check out what some of our happy patients are saying about us:

★★★★★

I highly recommend Dr. Miyamoto-Shemali and her entire staff. Our family have been happy patients of Dr Mika for many years.  We have had general dentistry work done as well cosmetic dentistry.  She is meticulous in her work.  Marjan is the BEST dental hygienist, very thorough. Her office staff are as equally professional and skilled and her state of the art office is is equiped with latest technologies.

★★★★★

The best dentist in Portland, barnone. I went in for a consult & several cleanings and not only are the staff very professional, but Dr. Mika actually takes time to sit down and do a thorough examination as well as sit back and talk with you about your oral health and how comfortable you are with her suggestions. I think their prices are just and fairly reflect their services and effort in giving you the smile you want. I’ve seen them take extra time and money to make things right with other patients. They always go above and beyond when working with other providers in coordination and treatment plans. The Pearl District Dental space is beautiful and relaxing – much like a spa. You never have to wait more than 5 minutes for an assistant or their hygienist to accompany you back to your room and their chair-side manner is exquisite. Suzie and Eli at the front desk are super helpful and always make me feel comfortable when I visit. It seriously feels like you’ve entered a 5-star resort when you walk in the doors. I will never see another dentist again as long as I live in the Portland area. Pearl District Dental will always win my vote and I plan on recommending everyone I know to go there. In the end, my experience at every other dentist’s office I’ve ever been a patient at has never compared to the amazing experiences I’ve had here. If you’re looking for a dentist who never double books appointments, has more knowledge in the cosmetic and general dental industry than your typical dentist down the street due to having the highest potential credentials and accolades, spends ample time with you as well as an understanding, generous and helpful staff who is also very knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable – look no further… Pearl District Dental is a dream come true when I thought I would never again like, let alone enjoy, visiting the dentist.

★★★★★

I have worked both with Dr.Mika and Marjan (she is the dental hygienist) and can safely say that they are both extremely good in their profession and also very fun to work with. Marjan made my dental cleaning experience so pleasant and fun which I did not think possible! In addition, Dr.Mika has an extremely detail-oriented approach to her profession, which makes her able to address everyone’s individual needs as opposed to trying to apply a single framework to every patient. And a special thanks to Alexis and Jasmine at the front desk for being so kind and always calling in to remind me of my appointments:)

★★★★★

I’ve been a patient of dr. Mika for about two years now. She’s done 12 of my fillings and now were on to my alignment. Dr mika and her staff are all amazing. My hygienist Marjan is so sweet. She always remembers our last conversation even though it was months ago. The receptionist Alexis is very on top of my appointments. And eli, the manager, is seriously the best. He’s always worked with me all situations. He’s offered me payment plans/arrangements and is always so understanding. And I am just all around so pleased with pearl district dental. I’ll most likely be a patient for life 🙂

★★★★★

I went in for a routine check up and cleaning, and was seriously impressed with my hygienist! Her name is Devon and I highly recommend asking for her! She was not only gentle and thorough, but also very skilled! My teeth look amazing! Also, she has a great personality and was very friendly! Thanks Devon! I’ll be sure to request you next time 🙂

★★★★★

Everyone is this office was absolutely amazing and extremely helpful. Through months of visits and extreme care I gained confidence with an improved smile all thanks to Dr. Mika, Eli and the staff of Pearl District Dental. I went in with temporary veneers starting to lose their luster and am now so proud of my smile. I would absolutely recommend going and seeing Dr. Mika if you are at all curious about veneers or other options available to you.

★★★★★

I just had my initial exam and I have to say I was blown away. I’m a tough critic when it comes to detail and everyone at the office was top notch. Dr. Mika spent so much time with me before looking in my mouth and informed me of things that I’ve never considered with my oral health. I can tell her office manager Eli is going to be a great resource when it comes to managing insurance and HSA stuff.  When the meter on parking was running low…they went and paid it for me!  Small investment; big impact.  If you are looking for a best in class dental office, this is your place.

★★★★★

What nicer things can I say about Pearl District Dental?! Their office is clean, bright, and modern- one of the first things I noticed about their office was that it didn’t have a typical ‘medical’ feel to it at all. I’ve had some nasty experiences as a child at the dentist but the entire team here made me feel safe and comfortable. They dealt professionally with my anxiety and didn’t gripe at me for it, instead taking the time to reassure me and courteously rescheduled me when I decided I couldn’t do the treatment. The next time I came in I got the treatment done and was comfortable the entire time. I live in the building so location is great for me, but they’re right in front of the max line, so anyone who takes public transit, you’ll have an easy time getting here! The only downside to this clinic is they are a more luxurious clinic, so prices are probably a bit higher than what you’re used to. But the quality of work you receive will be well worth the cost!!!! I will never go anywhere else! Thank you!

★★★★★

Pearl District dental is several steps above the dental office your used to. You may pay more, but less overall. Dr.Meika was able to avoid doing two root canals by doing another procedure without surgery. Also, my crowns match my teeth so well no can tell they are crowns! Only with X-rays is it obvious. Not only do all the staff know the patients by first name, the office itself is comfortable an relaxing. I am so happy I found a dentist I like an trust. It is very evident pearl district dental has paid extra attention to the needs An wants of their patients, they delivered an then some!!

★★★★★

I’ve been a patient at Pearl Dental since 2002. I can hardly say enough about this wonderful office, the team that works there and their care and attention of me through the years. Every investment I’ve made has paid off time and time again. Dr. Mika is wonderful, calm and friendly and attentive. Once again, I have only the highest regard for their professional manner, their care and friendship toward me. Phyllis Melmon-Martinez

★★★★★

I’ve been through a number of dentists since I moved to the Portland area 16 years ago, but PDD is definitely the cream of the crop. I found them based on proximity when I moved to the pearl district 10 years ago, and it’s a testament to the quality of the service and the friendly and attentive nature of Dr Mika and her staff that I keep coming back, despite having moved farther away since then. I would heartily recommend them to anyone new to the area, unhappy with their current dental provider, or looking for excellent cosmetic work in addition to outstanding dental healthcare.

★★★★★

I’ve been a patient at Pearl District Dental for almost a year now, and I absolutely love it there! First of all, the office is beautiful. It is impeccably clean and calming. It almost feels like you are at a spa. The front desk staff is always helpful and warm. Dr. Mika and all of the hygienists are so friendly, thorough, professional, and careful. I definitely feel like I am in good hands! I also decided to take advantage of their teeth whitening system, and it’s been a great experience. They gave me a $100 bride discount just before my wedding! Overall, I am very impressed by the quality of care I’ve received at Pearl District Dental, and I encourage you to become a patient!

★★★★★

Excellent place. Very skilled in delicate dental procedures. Dr Mika is very trustworthy. Pearl dental offers many services all of which are handled with great care. I would definitely recommend this place. Not only do they handle the problem at hand but they take proactive measure to inform you if a dental problem requires more handling so you are not battling the same problems over and over.

★★★★★

I have been going to Pearl District Dental for about a year now I believe, and I really appreciate their service. Dr. Mika is very kind and has always been available to talk about any improvements I wanted to make on my smile. She also ensures that every patient know their options that fit their lifestyle and that are perhaps less invasive.

★★★★★

Everytime I’ve gone to this dentist office I’ve been pleased. They are very friendly and understanding of my phobia. I was traumatized as a child and now have a difficult time going. But Dr. Mika has been very patient and kind with me and made sure I was comfortable. I would definetley recommend this office. And we don’t have insurance so I have not experienced that aspect of the office.

★★★★★

This is a very Knowledgeable Doc!! Pleasant, and Professional, Went to see Dr. Mike with a broken tooth.. and will most definitely go back to her as my regular Dentist! She took time and talked to me.. explained Why my tooth broke.. etc., was not pushy.. just ‘tried’ to educate me on my bite.. very thorough for a brief exam.. she did ALL the work herself.. and answered all my questions.. the staff I met were all pleasant and very informative!! Oh did I mention that it was my FRONT Upper Tooht That chipped?? made me look very toothless. and that I was really upset!!! Great Staff!!!!!!! I will be going back to make her my REGULAR Dentist!!!

★★★★★

Pearl District Dental is the premiere choice for dental care in Portland, In the heart of the Pearl District with state of the art technology and a gorgeous setting, Dr. Mika and her team are top notch. I have only had excellent care here, whether it be teeth cleaning or consultation with Dr. Mika and her very professional, warm, and kind team. I had tried several dentists in Portland before coming across Pearl District Dental and I have no plans of going anywhere else. For honestly the best dental experience I have had thus far, I highly recommend Pearl District Dental, Dr. Mika and her team for all your dental needs.

★★★★★

Truly the best dentist I have ever had. Dr. Mika is fast and careful. The cleanings are thorough, fast, and more comfortable than any I’ve experienced in other offices. They let me know that they offer all kinds of cosmetic dentistry if I was interested though I certainly never felt it was pushed upon me. I’ve never had to wait in the lobby for more than 3 minutes, which is amazing. They manage that by taking their cancellation policy – they will ding you for a late cancellation so keep in touch. I’ve always found the staff friendly and accommodating. I’ve hated dentists since I was a small child but I don’t dread going now that I’ve found this office.

★★★★★

I came upon Pearl District Dental after chipping my tooth while at work. On very short notice, Eli and his team where able to schedule me in for a consultation and immediate care the very next day. Before any cosmetic work was done Eli helped me to understand multiple routes they could take in order to get my chip taken care of, preventing any financial surprises down the road. After the brief consultation, Dr. Mika was able to fit me in immediately, and thirty minutes later my chip was fixed. Her work is amazing- you can’t tell that anything was ever wrong in the first place. I highly recommend Pearl District Dental to anyone who wants prompt, professional service with great results.

★★★★★

This is the year of preventative care! Dr. Mika is literally going to keep teeth in my mouth. I have had 54 years of conservative dentistry & that has lead to a mouth full of various issues…. worn and cracked teeth I didn’t even know I had. The full mouth study she offers was money I hadn’t planned on spending but was worth every penny and I finally have a plan in place to correct what is wrong with my teeth. I am so glad I found her, I was on the path to dentures and wasn’t even aware of half of the issues my mouth had. I will be forever grateful to her. Her staff is professional, her office immaculate and I actually enjoy my dental visit. (Who says that!?!) The crowns I have received are like brand new baby teeth and not a rounded metal object with few grooves as a placeholder for where a tooth once was. Her lab is phenomenal. Dr Mika’s assistants are seriously gifted in their field. I leave with temporary crowns, made in the office that never irritate. I’ve actually never experienced that until now. I can’t say enough about her practice. If you are looking for a thorough dentist who provides incredible dentistry… Pearl District Dental is the place to go.

★★★★★

I feel lucky to have crossed paths with Dr. Mika. At 54 I had no idea my teeth were in such bad shape with misaligned teeth grinding together and cracks throughout that I did not know I had. My mouth was a mess. I paid to have her do a study of my mouth and it was frightening to look at! I’ve had a conservative dentistry for 40 + years and after meeting Dr Mika, I feel incredibly informed about the health of my mouth and the work I need to do to literally keep my teeth. I can’t continue just repairing things when they are broken. I’m losing the battle. Yes, fixing teeth is expensive but I have shopped similar services and she really is right with the rest of the pack. In some cases her prices are quite a bit lower. Teeth are simply expensive to care for. I recently had 2 crowns placed by Dr. Mika and I have NEVER had crown work done so well. She is a perfectionist, her lab is phenomenal and the quality shows. Her staff is lovely & her assistant wonderful. She has a gift for making temp crowns that feel like permanent ones. I’ve had plenty of temporary crowns. They bother you, they’re shaped weird, they are no fun. The temporary crowns I received there had ZERO irritation and they looked amazing. It really is remarkable. The office is immaculate and I always appreciate a well cleaned, well run medical practice. I am quite sure if I had not met Dr. Mika I would be on the fast track to dentures one not so far off day. She will save my teeth and I am forever grateful for that.

★★★★★

Pearl District Dental has been by far the most accommodating medical office I have ever done business with. I have had cleanings, x rays, fillings, and even emergency surgery when I had an abscess. All of my fillings and crowns are still intact, and Dr. Miyamoto-Shemali has some of the gentlest dentist hands. They have also been more than fair about letting me make payments on my account and not putting me into collections. My medical coverage expired halfway through a phase where I needed a bunch of work done, and they finished the work and the payment arrangements have been great. Highly recommended to anyone, especially those looking for a great long term dentist. My experiences have been nothing but positive over the last 3 years.

★★★★★

I found dr. mika 3+ yrs ago by word of mouth. Although apprehensive at first, my fears were laid to rest upon my first phone contact with her receptionist Rie. I was greeted with friendly courteous people right from the start. My first appointment was for a routine check up & teeth cleaning. I have also had veneers for aesthetic purposes and a much needed crown replaced. The treatment & results were an A++. Dr. Mika has a gentle touch and calm chair side manner. Her assistants are also, professional, courteous and friendly making my experience from beginning to end a very positive one. It’s wierd but I actually look forward to visiting my dental office.

★★★★★

My husband and I went to the Pearl District Dental for 7 years before we moved to Colorado in January. I LOVE this staff, the location and the top-of-the-line equipment they use. My husband had been seeing a different dentist in town, but when he came to PDD, he realized how much that dentist was missing and was able to correct some negative aspects of his dental health. PDD did such an amazing job of caring for our teeth and I miss coming in!

★★★★★

Best dentist’s office I have ever had. Everyone is so friendly before, during, and after my appointments and will patiently answer my questions about what’s actually happening with my teeth when work needs to be done. I appreciate that there is a gentleman (I don’t remember his name) who dedicates time to walking me through what my insurance will cover and what it will not so all the charges I’m paying have context. Glad I picked your dental office when I moved to Portland!

★★★★★

My personal experiences with Dr. Mika, Eli and Pearl District Dental have been fantastic. The staff is incredibly friendly, the office is extremely modern and clean, and I could sense that everyone there genuinely cared for me and my smile. Dr. Mika is obviously very talented at what she does and is full of knowledge and experience. She is very easy to talk to and was thorough with everything. I originally visited Pearl District for cosmetic consultation on my teeth and ended up finding a new favorite dentist to go to. Eli was always very clear about costs, scheduling and timing for my whole smile makeover. Very easy to work with. Thanks to this office, my smile has never felt (nor looked) better! I live an hour away from theses offices and I won’t go anywhere else!

★★★★★

Pearl District Dental is a top notch Dental office. Dr. Mika’s expertise is first rate – she really knows her stuff. Marjan has been doing my cleanings for some time; she has the lightest hand, is kind and you get a knock out cleaning. The entire staff is committed to helping you achieve your ideal look.
I would highly recommend them to anyone –

★★★★★

New to Portland and the Pearl we needed a new dentist and found it at Pearl District Dentist! Everyone takes the time to talk with you and the office is very bright and pleasant. Dr Mika does not make you feel rushed and truly listens to your concerns. When my night guard did not work for me they refunded my money – less the production cost – and Eli was extremely nice about it. My husband has complicated dental work and feels very confident with their care. Very happy with Pearl District Dentist! And Suzy at the front desk is the best! Go see them you will smile

★★★★★

Truly the BEST dentist I have ever worked with. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this is not just ‘a dental clinic’… this place feels more like a spa. the ladies at the front desk are always friendly and smiling, my hygienist Marjan is always thorough, attentive, and remembers conversations we had 4 months ago. Dr. Mika is exquisite- she is charming and clearly knows her stuff down to a T. I had bad experiences as a child at the dentist and I was terrified, but Dr. Mika is never pushy and always calms me down and makes sure I know what is going to happen before a procedure. Her hand is steady and I always get compliments on how bright my smile is now. I will NEVER go anywhere else… Pearl District Dental, you have earned yourself a loyal customer. I will refer all of my friends and family without a doubt!

★★★★★

I’ve been visiting this clinic for 3 years and had my teeth aligned here. the clinic is very clean. Front desk staffs are very friendly and patient. They call your insurance company and help you to understand your coverage, unlike some clinics that tell you to figure it out yourself. All the hygienists worked on me are great and doing their job with care. Doc Mika is great too, needless to say. I would recommend this clinic to everyone.

★★★★★

I have gone to the Pearl District Dental for a tooth replacement and to become a new patient. They’ve been very helpful throughout the whole process while giving me many different budget options and advice along the way. The Dr. and her team provide services and payment plans that aid their patients and allow them to afford any scary procedure. I’d definitely recommend them for any family or young adult looking for dental care.

★★★★★

★★★★★

Pearl District Dental has a wonderful, welcoming staff, a convenient location and a vast array of expertise. Their work is extremely thorough and Dr. Mika and her staff have been nothing but helpful since I started visiting them two years ago. I would recommend them to anyone I know looking for a true dental professional team in the Portland Metro area.

★★★★★

I can’t believe I’m actually writing a review about a dental clinic, but, I’ve been so impressed with the folks at Pearl District Dental that they really deserve some kudos. I’ve been putting off seeing a dentist for over five years. Partially because I don’t like having all sorts of horrible stuff pointed out about my teeth, but mainly because I had no idea who to see (this is before I came across yelp.) Well, I had a tooth chip while eating dinner with my friend and she highly recommended her dentist (Dr. Mika Miyamoto-Shemali) at Pearl District Dental to me. Well, let me tell you, I knew from the first phone call that I was in the right hands. The gentleman I talked to (Ely) was amazingly thorough, caring, and helpful. He spent about 30 minutes on the phone to help me make sure their clinic was the right one for me – discussed good and bad experiences I had with prior clinics, went over costs with me before hand (this was really nice since I had no dental insurance), and even offered several suggestions to make sure I was comfortable with my visit. He even emailed me a copy of their mission statement along with their forms – this really convinced me I was dealing with a first class organization. Dr. Mika saw me the next day and she was able to take care of the chip during the same appointment. About Dr. Mika: Wow – a beautiful dentist/perfectionist/artist – the touch of an angel – really knows her stuff, AND she actually listens to you. I really like the fact that besides just fixing the chip on my tooth, she pointed out that my other teeth were coming in awkward contact with the tooth that was fixed and recommended I wear a plastic appliance at night to prevent that from happening again. I could afford the appliance, but wasn’t sure if I could sleep with it – so she made me a temporary appliance for a minimal charge so I can try it out. I’ve been back to see Dr. Mika for a more complete exam and had my teeth cleaned by Marjan her hygienist. Each experience has been superb. I’ll tell you, you ain’t had your teeth cleaned until you’ve been touched by Marjan. There are dental clinics out there, and then, there’s Pearl District Dental.

★★★★★

This dental clinic is the best. It’s taken me 10 years since I’ve been in Portland to find a wonderful dentist like Dr. Mika. She’s great about providing pro-active ways to take care of your teeth/gums and her approach/demeanor is wonderful. She just runs a great practice and has great staff. they’re professional and courteous. They make my experience of going to doctors- stress-free! About Hygienist: The hygenist is awesome – well-trained, professional and thorough. I’ve never had an issue.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR

Our award-winning facilities are second to none and were designed specifically to put all your five senses at ease and comfort. From the beginning, we focused on providing you with superior service in every aspect of your oral health care. We provide you with the most thorough, yet gentle cleaning possible. We proactively work with you on dental coverage and billing questions to plan ahead and avoid surprises. Dr. Mika routinely takes over 10 times the required continuing dental education required by the State of Oregon. Most of these classes have been at some of the world’s best post-doctorate training institutions. She has been serving as visiting clinical professor at the Spears Institute and was recently recogized as their most dedicated mentor to other dentists. Dr. Mika was also recently named as one of America’s Top Dentists for 2010. As Dr. Mika Miyamoto-Shemali’s patient, you will benefit from her years of world-class advanced training programs completed in her pursuit to become a top restorative and cosmetic dentist. Not only will you receive exceptional results, you will find her chair-side manner and touch to be exceptional. Dr. Mika, who is fluent in Japanese, received her dental degree from Oregon Health Sciences University and taught at her alma mater as a clinical instructor. In 2002, she opened her private practice, Pearl District Dental, in Portland, Oregon, where she continues her pursuit of dental perfection with each and every patient. A few reasons you might choose Dr. Mika to be your dentist: Dr. Mika was selected as one of America’s Top Dentists by the Consumer’s Research Council of America for 2010, 2011, 2012 and again in 2013. Dr. Mika received an invitation from the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry to join their elite group of dentist mentors. This privilege is reserved for only 300 of the nation’s best cosmetic dentists and required extensive procedure demonstrations before a panel of world-class experts. In 2010, Dr. Mika served as a visiting instructor at the Spear Institute for Advanced Dental Education in the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry, donating her time to help other dentists achieve the highest level of excellence in their dental practices. In 2005, Dr. Mika became one of only a few dentists in Oregon to complete the post-graduate training program at the prestigious Pankey Institute. This is one of the world’s most respected postgraduate institutions that trains dentists to involve you, the patient, in treatment planning to ensure your desired results. In addition to offering world-class training in general dentistry, the Pankey Institute focuses heavily on the evaluation of the bite and placing restorations in a manner that will ensure or return bite harmony. Dr. Mika routinely completes significantly more continuing education hours than what is required.
