PATIENT REVIEWS

I love licorice taffy. At 6:30 last evening I felt something besides taffy in the taffy. It was my lower left-molar crown. I remembered Portsmouth Dental is open late. I called and they got me in at 8:00 a.m. today! I took the old crown with me. They cleaned it and were able to re-seat it, improving the feel of it in the process (and saving me 100s of $$ over the cost of a new crown). I saw Drs. Hawthorne and Turk and was treated with warmth and consideration. I wish I had noted all the assistants’ names, because they were all super-helpful. Portsmouth Dental earns my highest recommendation. I’m grateful they’ve taken such good care of my teeth for 10 years now.

We’ve had such a great experience here over the last 4 years. My husband and I both had our teeth taken care of by the Portsmouth team. Not only did they always do a great job but everyone is so nice and helpful. We are sad to leave but we just aren’t traveling into Portland anymore for work and we live 45 minutes away. Thanks Portsmouth Dental team for everything! We hope our new dentist is as awesome as you are!

If you need dental care, braces or anything like this; you need to make an appointment here. All of the staff is amazing. I appreciate that the assistants are trained with all the procedures. The care and attention they give you is very positive and thorough. It’s not just a scheme to charge you but to actually give you “care”; as it should be, in house orthodontist so you can be treated by the same staff; pleasant all the way around. Yes, this surprises me that I am recommending a Dentist office, but I am.

Portsmouth Dental does a fantastic job. I started going there around 1982, particularly because they advertised “gentle dental”. When I started going there I required quite a bit of work because I had avoided dentists due to unpleasant experiences. Dr. Frohnmayer did some wisdom teeth extractions, fillings and crowns. When Dr. Turk came on he did more work including a root canal. All of these experiences were remarkably easy and quick. These guys know what they are doing. They have great ability to keep you relaxed with light, and humorus conversation while they work. After they got me into shape, I only required cleanings for well over ten years. Just recently, probably due to some negligence on my part, I needed a couple of fillings. Dr. Turk noticed a typo on the original quote, which reduced the billed charges by $355. I would have been none the wiser. I recommend this Dental group highly. My only hesitation is, that they will get so many customers that I will have a hard time getting an appointment!

I’m a big baby when it comes to needles. (No seriously, I both my children naturally to avoid the epidural needle.) Michelle was so understanding and made sure I had what I needed to feel less ashamed of my fears. The practice as a whole is very professional, makes things convenient both interms of setting appointments and making payments. Highly recommend.

By far the best dental care in Portland! Dr Turk has been my dentist almost my entire life. He’s like a dad to me. I always feel at home when I walk through the door. All of the staff is friendly and treat me like family. In fact, my entire family goes to Portsmouth Dental. The office is very clean and has beautiful art. I couldn’t recommend them more! Thanks for taking such great care of me over the years!

1st off let me say that any type of dental experience for me in the past has been mostly of the nightmare variety How fortunate was I to find this group in my own community I always feel valued and as if I am being listened to,even when I told them about my past experiences. They are fast to respond, respectful, courteous and honest and pleasant (something I have never experienced before) THANK YOU!!

Awesome dentists!!! I been looking for a good dentist for two years! I’m usually very scared and nervous so I need someone really good! This place made me feel like nothing is a problem and anything can be fix with lots of knowledge and also very gentle but funny! Everyone treat me so well and I felt very comfortable and taking care of real quick! Great price, no rip off! Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for quality dentist! Thank you everyone again!!! So happy to found you!!!

I have been to many dentist offices in the last few years which I have not been happy with. I was able to finally get my braces, I decided to just try out portsmouth dental because they do evening and saturdays. I went in for my consult and found out I had a ton of cavities..they helped work with me to get these done quickly so I was able to get my braces on. Going to the dentist for me is the worst but Portsmouth made it seem more pleasant than most other offices. I am very happy with my care from them, very friendly staff and doctors. They were always able to get me in quick when there was an emergency or when I was in pain. Not to mention they do not only do regular dental care, but also teeth whitening, braces, wisdom teeth removals. Its nice to have a dentist office that I can trust now. I would highly reccomend them to anyone looking for a new dentist!

I went in for a cleaning and to take care of an achy tooth.  Everyone and everything from start to finish was top notch.  From the professional and kind front desk ladies, to the thorough and warm assistants, to Dr. Frohmeyer and Dr. Turk themselves, each and every one of them treated ME and not just my tooth.  I have been to several dentists in the last five years and this is by far the best experience.  Even if I move out of this neighborhood, I will drive back here for all my cleanings and care.

I enjoy leaving compliments for excellent customer service and dollar value for services rendered when I am delighted by a business. Today I once again was very happy with my visit. This wasn’t my usual six month cleaning that I have been doing for the last fifteen years with Portsmouth Dental, but for a repair after I chipped the corner of my front tooth. Keep in mind that I only called a few days ago, anxious to have my embarrassing smile fixed. The friendly and courteous phone receptionist said they would work me into their full schedule. Within a minute of me arriving, I was seated in a dental chair and the repair was done within fifteen minutes! I know I can depend on either dentist, or hygienist in providing the most current procedure available in the market at a competitive price. And over the years, I have seen them remodel and expand as needed to better serve their growing clientèle. I have recommended them to coworkers and friends who have been equally satisfied. These previous reviews confuse and trouble me, as they are far from my experience. All of the staff are professional, friendly, and helpful. Being over sixty years old, believe me, I have been to my share of dentists. Never, have I been more satisfied with a dental experience. Most people hate to go to the dentist- I look forward to it!

I went to 7 dentists in Portland before I discovered Portsmouth Dental in my little neighborhood. Dr Turk and his superbly trained staff are courteous and efficient…and I am a challenging patient. Not to be overlooked is the front office staff, who set the upbeat tone for the office. Dr. Turk even discovered an underlying condition that had evaded other medical doctors. He helps me love my teeth!!!

I have been coming here for years. They are truly the best!!! I had always been nervous about the dentist until I found these guys. They always make sure I am comfortable before starting any kind of treatment. Everyone working there always seems like they are happy and having a good time. I am greeted with a smile and they always remember my name. Dr.Turk and Dr. Frohnmayer have both worked on me and have done some awesome work! The girls that clean my teeth are always sweet and gentle but still very thorough. They are on my insurance list too. My girlfriend comes here now and she loves them!

I cant recommend these folks enough! Just the best people and practice hands down, smile up!! I’ve only had horrid dental experiences.. with these folks, ever visit is amazing! Courteous, respectful, fun, friendly, warm! Go, you wont regred it.

I would highly recommend this office. The staff is very professional and personable. The treatments that are recommended are shown right there in the treatment room on the computer screen as they are being explained. I never feel like I’m being forced to follow through with something I don’t agree with just to line someone’s pocket. Their prices are reasonable and the quality of care is fantastic. If we have any issues they work to get them taken care of as soon as is reasonably possible. They have worked with my kids and both doctors are really good with them. I have chosen to continue to do business with this practice even though it means an hour drive each way for me. My kids actually look forward to going to the dentist now instead of dreading it! Thank you to all the staff at Portsmouth Dental!

This is the best dentist I have ever had!!  Dr. Turk is so gentle and his staff is so kind and gentle.  I had a horrible experience at another dentist and actually had an anxiety attack.  Dr Turk took great care of me and made me feel so comfortable and took all the time I needed.  I never feel rushed.  I always get the best care there.  I just started taking my 5 year old there and Dr. Turk made him laugh and my son was very much at ease once we left.  I recommend Dr. Turk to everyone I know.  The best dentist I have ever had!!!!

Dr Frohnmayer and Dr Turk have both treated me numerous times. They have always done a wonderful job, treated me kindly, and were patient with any concerns or questions I had. I don’t understand how things went so wrong with another reviewer’s experiences with Dr Turk, because not only have I had good experiences, but I sent my dad who lives out of the country (in Singapore, so there’s excellent medical care) to Dr Turk and my dad said he’s going to schedule all his dental work with Dr Turk when he’s visiting. I sent a neighbor to Dr Turk as well, and my neighbor thought Dr Turk was great. I’ve had my molars and most of my premolars crack (literally) from my tmj and grinding problems so I have had an absurd amount of dental work done in my relatively short life. I have never had another dentist fit a crown or filling as well as these doctors, and I’ve had five other dentists fit crowns. Dr Frohnmayer has adjusted my bite a bunch of times, thanks to dental work, which will often need little adjustments afterward, and my pickiness. Other dentists, including two in St Johns, were impatient and uncaring when I needed any unpaid follow-up care, even when their prices are twice what Portsmouth Dental’s are *cough Dr Kaady *cough cough. I got the shaft when it came to tooth genes and jaw issues, but these doctors have made the situation a lot more bearable. The front desk staff and dental assistants have always been nice and helpful as well. The one time I had to call on the weekend, it was July 4th and Dr Turk called me back to help me, even though he was out of town with his family, and gave me a five dollar solution to get me comfortably through the rest of the weekend. Everyone has their own experiences, but mine have been consistently excellent with the doctors and staff of Portsmouth dental.

Everything is just that great the nurse and coordinator are the best I’ve ever met. I refuse needle, but the coordinator made me so relax that I felt like treated with a spa..Not to mention Dr. Turk, super professional, he finished with four of my wisdom teeth within 50mins or 40mins. Really awesome experience!

This is by far the best dental office I’ve ever been toothey take great care of you and are well worth my drive in from Vancouver just over the bridge in north portland. Dr. Turk treats you like a friend and not just like a patient. I’ve been going here for a decade and feel lucky to have found such a great place.

I have been to many dentist offices in the last few years which I have not been happy with. I was able to finally get my braces, I decided to just try out portsmouth dental because they do evening and saturdays. I went in for my consult and found out I had a ton of cavities..they helped work with me to get these done quickly so I was able to get my braces on.

Today was my very first visit and I was super pleased! I have high anxiety with dentist, but I was okay..they made me feel calm, cool and at ease. Everyone was so kind and caring. They gave me a complete run down of what I needed, the cost and offered financial resources to assist if needed. They were very cautious with safety regarding Covid 19, but still was welcoming and warm. I have found my dentist and referring my daughter! Thank you all for a wonderful experience.

This is absolutely the best dentist! Dr. Turk and his team take care of their patients and truly care about their well being. The assistants are caring and knowledgeable as well. I have been a patient here for several years and my care has never been anything less than stellar. They always find a way to get my seen when needed even if they are super busy. The prices are reasonable and the front desk staff is very kind. If you need a dentist don’t look any further.

I cannot say enough positive things about Portsmouth Dental Care and specifically Dr. Turk. I have a military background, which means I have a lot of bad dental work that has been haunting me since I left service. In the few years I have lived in this area and have been seeing Dr. Turk, I have had multiple crowns, root canals, re-seated crowns, chipped teeth, and more.They have always tried to get me in at the earliest possible time, done everything possible to make sure I was comfortable and worked with me to find the best solution to help me keep my teeth functioning and attractive, even when money has been tight. The kindness, concern, and consideration is above and beyond all other providers I have ever seen. If you need a good dentist, I encourage you to seek out Dr. Turk. I know a review that is nothing but good things seems suspicious, but I really can’t say anything bad…maybe the room is small? But that is about it. The staff and care received are stellar. The prices are better than any you will find from a reputable dentist, and they work with most insurance providers.

Dr. Turk and Dr. Frohnmayer are consummate perfectionist’s and professionals who take special care of fraidy cats who are not fans of the dentist. I am that person to a tee! They were calm and patient and made me feel at ease with an otherwise uncomfortable experience. My tooth (or lack there of now) was damaged beyond repair and a wisdom to boot, was painlessly extracted quickly! OMG what a relief. To add insult to injury 3 days later I broke a tooth and needed a crown, my luck. I was in the next day and out in one day! You gotta love modern dentistry. Thank you again Dr. Turk! And Dr. Jim

I have 20 years worth of dental horror stories that left me with dental PTSD…and then Dr Turk was recommended to me (full disclosure: I was looking for a dentist who uses nitrous oxide). Fortunately, Dr Turk is way more than just the Gas Man. I have been a patient of Portsmouth Dental for 25 years because of the quality of care, the friendliness and professionalism of the staff and Dr Turk’s ability to put me at ease. He literally gave me my smile back.

My new dentist Dr Turk at Portsmouth Dental Care is the most compassionate, kind, amazing dentist I have ever encountered. I developed an infection deep down in my tooth and went to see my previous dentist. She immediately told me that I will lose this teeth since infection must have been caused by broken root. This tooth was holding my bridge thus, loosing this tooth means that I need to replace it with 2 implants which cost me 7 – 10K out of pocket. In shock, I desperately looked for a different dentist for a second opinion and Gabi reffeered me to Dr. Turk. At the get go, he told me there is only 20 % of chance of loosing this tooth. He took a slow step by step approach to assess what is really going on and end up saving my tooth !!! My tooth was not broken. I felt I was totally in good hands and I was able to completely trust him. Every time I went to see him, he almost made me cry with his kindness and sincere approach. If you are looking for a new dentist, I can’t recommend highly enough of Dr. Turk. He is at N. Portland at Porthmouth Dental Care.

I had a major cosmetic issue. My porcelain veneer fell off after about thirteen years. It was suggested that I replace it with a porcelain cap which would be more permanent and reliable. Upon being seated I was told they needed an impression so that the dental lab could make my new tooth. Then I was given a gentle injection to numb my gum, which was hardly noticeable. After my tooth was smoothed down a little, and another impression was done for my temporary, I was fitted with the temporary that looked as beautiful as my permanent teeth. All of this was done in about an hour and fifteen minutes. I was worked on by two capable staff and Dr. Turk. I will have my new tooth available in two weeks. This is an amazing turn around, and I don’t have to worry about covering my mouth during the wait. The facilities are modern, clean, and the staff is always friendly while making me feel at home. I have been going here for all my dental needs over a decade and have never had a complaint or concern other than complete satisfaction. I am happy to recommend them to anyone who would like a pleasing experience with the confidence of knowing that you will always be treated with respect and dignity. On a side note, I have always noticed the waiting room has every age and type of person as their customer base. I think that speaks volumes.

I always have a smile on my face when I come here because the staff are such a joy to be around!!! The last 2 Dentists I went to could never get my upper left side numb, but today Portsmouth Dental Care knock it out of the park. 5 fillings and I did not feel a thing thank you so much for making my dental experience so wonderful!!!

We love Portsmouth Dental! They are great with us and our kids and have made us comfortable with all appointments and procedures (which have been numerous over the past 10+ years). I have sent friends to them who also had very good experiences. No one should love going to the dentist and there will always be some issues when major work is done but these guys are aces and their whole staff are very accommodating. Don’t believe anyone who tells you different, they must just be an anti-dentite.

Best experience I have ever had at a dental office. Professional, clean environment  let me pay my bill in two payments instead of one. Much better and more hands on than general dental or generic dental office.  Other dental office told me I needed wisdom teeth pulled even though they never once bothered me, Dr Turk took X-rays and let me know they did not need to be taken out. Saved me a load of money buy not recommending a procedure I did not need. I would not go anywhere else.

I don’t know how anybody could ever give this office a poor review. I think they are amazing!!! By far the best doctors and staff out there! I have been seen by both doctors and both of them have always made me feel extremely comfortable and have done absolutely beautiful work. I now actually like going to the dentist. Their staff has always been warm and friendly. Not to mention it seems like my insurance is changing on me at least once a year and they have always taken it. I now live across town but will always drive any distance to still come to them! Highly recommended!!!

Zeynep’s (3yo) first Dental visit was a hit!! She woke me up, very excited, dressed as a Dr for her doctor visit! She has grown up in this office as I started my ortho journey when she was learning to sit up. Everyone in the office loves to play with her and she feels right at home. This is not a pediatric dental office but it IS the best office Ive ever been to!! They are the best with kids, families, they have a therapy dog on Fridays that will sit on your lap during procedures. They are my favorite people!! Thank you Portsmouth Dental!!

Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! One of the most caring and well facilitated DENTAL offices I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. Being in the DENTAL feild for 14 years, I can honestly say this DENTAL office hands down is as place I would recommend to my family friends and all others looking to be well cared for and welcomed. Honesty and compassion is pouring from this place.

Patient’s comfort and safety are a priority at Portsmouth Dental Care, and it shows. When I visit my dentist, the receptionist is cheerful and remembers my name. The building is clean and well-lit. The equipment is state-of-the-art and the whole vibe of the place puts me at ease. I’m one of those people that puts off seeing the dentist for long periods of time. But since my experience here, I feel better about keeping up a regular routine.

How often does somebody have something good to say about their dentist? Before today, you never would’ve heard praises being sung by me but as a new patient of Portsmouth Dental I’m confident this will be the team I look to for good dental health for years to come. When good people mix with cutting edge technology good things are bound to happen and this is a great example of it. I learned more about my teeth today than the previous 30+ years I’ve been going to the dentist. I felt that my comfort and satisfaction was their top priority and I’m confident they’ll serve you the same way. I look forward to no longer dreading dental appointments because of the confidence I have in my new dentist.
