★★★★★

This is THE only way to go to get a beautiful smile! Every single person in the office is so incredibly friendly, kind and funny. They make my daughter feel like a rock star every time she goes in. Dr. Borgen is so efficient and explains everything so well. She goes above and beyond. Once she even met us in the office on a Saturday just to make my daughter feel more comfortable. My daughter loves Dr. Borgen and her amazing assistants so much that she even wanted to make an appointment on her birthday! Nothing but high praise for this orthodontic staff.

Doctor Borgen and staff have always been helpful and explain everything. My teeth look and feel great now too.In my experience we had to not only straighten teeth but make room for a missing tooth for an implant. This meant I saw them for a longer time but they continued to be great. I don’t recommend being late to appointments but they have been very patient with us when traffic got a bit much.

Dr. Borgen and her staff are professional and caring. My oldest son and I both got our braces at Dr.Borgen’s. Our braces are off now and our teeth look amazing. We love our smile! I would recommend Dr.Borgen to anyone looking for orthodontics. Thank you, Dr. Borgen.

We have been seeing Dr. Kari Borgen for the past 2 years for my daughter’s braces. I cannot say enough good things! The entire office is warm & personable, & Dr. Borgen truly cares about each of her patients! My daughter never felt down about her appts (very regular with braces!)….& in fact looked forward to going. To feel this trust and security with a provider is HUGE! We feel so lucky to have found Dr. Borgen. Highly recommend!

★★★★★

Kari Borgen and her staff are very professional, highly organized and friendly. My son’s teeth were in extreme need of braces and they are now perfect. He didn’t always do his part to to expedite his treatment in the most timely way, and yet they were very patient with him. After school appointments were easy to schedule. Besides lengthier appointments, I never had to leave work and take him out of school. I can’t recommend them enough! Dina McNally.

We love this office! Everyone is always so friendly and they always have smiles on their faces. Each of my appointments are always quick and efficient. Dr. Borgen pays attention to detail and always listens to my questions or concerns. There is no doubt I wouldn’t take my family to any other office because Dr. Borgen is the best Orthodontist around!!

★★★★★

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Borgen and her staff. They are very friendly and professional, but most importantly the results were fantastic! Additionally, I wasn’t your average patient. I had jaw surgery this past summer and Dr. Borgen and staff did a great job working with my surgeon to get great results. I am extremely happy with how my jaw and smile look and would highly recommend Dr. Borgen for orthodontics!!

This is an excellent practice. We are happy to have selected it for our daughter. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and we had meaningful updates from Dr. Borgen on every visit. The office runs like a machine (an efficient machine). We’ve never had to wait for our appointments and they’ve accommodated every schedule and repair need we’d had over 2 years.

★★★★★

One done and one half way through with braces by Dr. Kari Borgen! We have been nothing but pleased throughout the whole process. Their front desk is so friendly and very organized. The back office has been great with my 2 kids. Dr Borgen and her staff has made this teeth straightening process so easy and efficient. She is the way to go!

★★★★★

Our son is getting braces here and he loves it! There are fun ‘challenges’ like earning borgen. I is that I know will keep him motivated to keep up the work on his braces. He loves the prizes they give away- for Easter they had an ‘egg count’ and the person who guessed the right amount of eggs in a jar won a prize. Staff has been wonderful and kind and patient with his billion questions!

★★★★★

Dr. Borgen and her staff are not only very competent but also extremely warm and kind. They always put my daughter at ease and clearly explain where we are at in her program, not to mention her teeth look amazing. From the moment we arrive for each appointment till we leave the entire experience is consistently positive. Their office also makes it fun for kids with contests, raffles, and encouraging incentives. My daughter and I would both highly recommend Dr. Borgen.

★★★★★

We have absolutely loved our experience with Dr. Borgen. Her office is professional and everyone is so helpful and kind. We really appreciate that she goes the extra mile in explaining everything we need to know in the orthodontic process. My son was very nervous to get braces and she set him at ease right away. Our younger son is up next and after his few pre treatment visits, he can’t wait to get started. I highly recommend Kari Borgen for orthodontics!

My son, daughter and I all went through this journey together. Dr. Borgen and her amazing team really did a fantastic job for us all, while making the experience fun and easy. We are all so happy with the outcome! Thank you all so very much!!Heather Whyman.

I was in my early 50’s when I finally explored getting braces. Dr. Borgen’s entire team welcomed me, and helped me understand more about achieving a healthy mouth by getting braces. They encouraged me and were great professionals throughout my entire treatment. We couldn’t have planned this, but my braces were removed on my birthday. Couldn’t recommend this practice more!!!!

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR

Specializing in orthodontics for children and adults. We offer a variety of treatment options including traditional braces, clear braces, Invisalign and Invisalign Teen. Come see us today for a complimentary orthodontic examination! I love being an orthodontist. Making a positive difference in peoples’ lives is unbelievably rewarding. Smiles build confidence and change lives. It is a privilege to provide orthodontic care to our patients and be a part of their remarkable transformations. I truly have the best job in the world! Every patient is an individual, and orthodontics is about bringing out the best in each individual. It is my responsibility as an orthodontist to use the best knowledge, tools, and techniques to turn each patient’s smile into a work of art. I strive to provide personalized, quality, and compassionate care to each and every patient while creating beautiful, healthy smiles for life. I am committed to lifelong learning. My education began at Lewis & Clark College, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in biochemistry. I continued on to Oregon Health & Sciences University, where I graduated first in my class with a Doctorate of Dental Medicine. My orthodontic residency and Master of Science in orthodontics were also obtained at OHSU. Orthodontics, like life, is a learning process, and continuing education is vital to upholding the quality standards of our profession. I am dedicated to staying current on the scientific research and developments in all areas of my field, to provide my patients with the best possible care. I am a member of professional associations that offer numerous opportunities for continuing education. I have also served as the Northern Regional Program Chair for the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists, and selected speakers for our regional continuing education meetings. I pride myself in the quality of care I provide, and that begins with having a great team. I am blessed to have an amazing staff that shares my passion for patient care. From the front office to the clinic, each person is trained and committed to help in giving our patients the best possible orthodontic experience. We all work hard to give our patients the attention they deserve. I am married to my best friend, Dr. Ryan Hughes, who is a pediatric dentist in the Lake Oswego area. We have two beautiful sons, Hudson and Bennett, who are the loves of our lives. We look forward to raising our boys in such a wonderful community. Ryan and I spend our free time enjoying all the Northwest has to offer, including snowshoeing, skiing, boarding, hiking, biking, and eating amazing food. We also enjoy competing in running events and triathlons throughout the year, except on Saturdays during college football season!
