PATIENT REVIEWS

This was my first dental visit in at least 5 years, so I was a bit nervous. The office is spotlessly clean, with soothing sounds and colors. Front office staff was so pleasant, efficient and helpful. Dr. Brett and Mallory were professional and comprehensive with explanations and all hands-on probing and procedures. Both had a gentle approach, greatly appreciated. The equipment appears State-of- the-Art… I just could not have asked for a better experience, and I will cheerfully make a treatment plan with this dentist group.

My sister has gone to Smiles on Sandy for at least thirty years and referred me to Dr. Daby for a consultation on possibly a full set of upper dentures. Every dentist that I have gone too has treated me in a sub-human way because, unfortunately I was not blessed with the greatest of teeth, and was treated as if I didn’t care about them so they didn’t care what they did to them. This is THE place to go to be treated with kindness, compassion, non- judgment and complete professionalism. Dr. Daby did not do what every other Dentist has done to me like just saying “your teeth and gums are beyond repair so when you are ready I’ll pull them all out for you when you get dentures.” Instead, he did a through exam and found teeth that could stay and recommended a partial. All the preparation before getting the actual partial was completely painless and all of his staff were so kind and considerate. Not “condescendingly kind,” but “truly” kind. When the day came for the actual “pulling” of my teeth (I only lost six!) I was very nervous and anxious. My sister came with me to hold my hand and support me through it and it went very well, after it was all finished and I saw myself in the mirror it made me cry. All of my worst fears were for not and I am SO happy with the results. Thank you Dr. Daby and all the staff at Smiles on Sandy I am grinning from ear to ear again!

I was traveling to Portland to visit relatives when thru an accident one of my front teeth was broken off. The relative suggested that I see the dentists here. The Dr. was very understanding and got me into their schedule right away. The tooth was repaired so well you could not tell it had been broken. I work in a health field and was leary of going to an unknown Dentist. This office is proffesional all the way. They take the extra time to ensure things are done right and explain everything along the way, no surprises.

Our family has been seeing Dr Daby and the awesome ladies at Smiles on Sandy for several years. Dr Daby is great with kids (and my husband who is afraid of the dentist.) He is calm and relaxed. He seems to truly care about the comfort of his patients. Our daughter had 2 cavities filled last summer. Dr. Daby and Cameo took such good care of her I don’t think she would mind having another cavity. She has no idea that anyone would be afraid of the dentist since she has never had a reason to be.  Dr. Daby takes time to listen to and answer my endless questions about my kiddo’s baby teeth and works hard to get my husband the dental work he needs but is nervous about.  The hygienists are fantastic. My daughter is in love with Jeri. She makes visiting the dentist a treat! She also knows how to really talk to kids. We love the receptionist too. She remembers us every time we visit and always says something sweet about our kids. We have an easy time scheduling appointments and getting questions answered.  We highly recommend Smiles on Sandy!

Going to the dentist was never so easy or painless, in more ways than one.  I really appreciate the relaxed, friendly staff and docs, the simplicity of scheduling and payment/insurance billing, no procedures I don’t need and the gentle touch of Gerri, who does such a great job cleaning my teeth.  The newly remodeled office is great!  Modern and comfortable.  Thankfully the Drs. Daby are much younger than I am so I shouldn’t have to ever find a new dentist!

Very friendly greeting. Everyone seems well organized and confident. Love the unusual angles of the architecture and the soft green color of waiting room and exam rooms. I would really appreciate soft classical music with no advertisements. I’m pretty uptight with dentistry so soft calm music helps me relax. The music was disruptive and very choppy. I’ve had confidence in office staff, hygienists and Dr. Brett Daby for years so I had no concerns about my care. Can we bring you flowers for your reception desk? Maybe nothing too tall or too exotic, but low profile and cheerful?

I just had a lower molar problem assessed and treated by Dr. Brett. His approach and attention were exceptional. My nerves were a bit resistant to the anesthetic, but he kept testing to insure I had adequate sedation. Even the administration of the injections was painless! I found him to be not only very sensitive to my needs (an excellent listener) but also intuitive or just highly skilled in reading body signals. He covered his assessment thoroughly, outlining all the options short and long term and was able to recommend a conservative approach clearly based on testing numerous areas of the molar for pain and explanations to ensure my understanding to guide a treatment plan, which clearly nodded to my choice along with his empirical testing. He was most patient with this part of the process. Because I hoped to have the treatment at the same visit, he checked the schedule and worked with staff to allow for the filling in the same visit. This was an important piece for me not wanting to have multiple visits during COVID. The care was seamless, efficient, painless. He also checked in regularly with how I was doing throughout the procedure. His assistant Brittany was attentive and responsive to his requests with no hesitation. Highly skilled patient centered care and awesome team overall. And the office procedures for infection prevention efforts was over the top. I felt very safe and protected against COVID infection. Many thanks Dr. Brett and Brittany!

This place is the best. Dr. Daby is a friendly and highly skilled dentist. The office staff is truly amazing especially Jerry the hygienist. Dr. Daby is very down to earth and the best part about him is that he won’t try and ‘sell’ you dental work that you don’t actually need! I’ve had some bad experiences w/ other dentists in the past. Dr. Daby at smiles on Sandy is an optimist towards dental health and will only perform the work that you actually need. I’m so glad to have discovered him.

Excellent dental practice! I can’t say I’ve ever had a good time at the dentist before this visit, but after my appointment, I found myself walking with a spring in my step. The staff are delightful: the hygienist was friendly, silly, and authentic. I’ve never laughed so much during a cleaning. Also, the doctor was informative and explained why he was doing what he was doing during my initial evaluation which I always appreciate. The rooms all have windows to naturescapes which is a very pleasant and soothing feature. To top it all off, new patients get a free electric toothbrush; woohoo!!

Dr. Daby is without a doubt the best dentist I have ever had. He is gentle, kind, and compassionate. His respectful manner puts me at ease and his concern that I feel comfortable is a breath of fresh air. The staff along with the hygienist are so warm and welcoming I look forward (as much as anyone can to go to the dentist) to showing up for my annual visit. If you need a dentist or hygienist this is the place in Portland to go!

Probably my 4th or 5th time here and first time during pandemic. Wonderful experience with the hygienist today and Dr. Daby. I felt very safe going there in regards to COVID with their precautions. You text the number on the front door when you arrive and then wait for just a moment. You sanitize your hands and walk back to the room with a mask on. The hygienist and Dr. Daby had a lot of PPE on and face shields over masks and sanitized everything thoroughly. They also had UV air filters for germs in every room it looked like (in mine at least). Additionally I wish I remembered the hygienists name cause she was so thorough and attentive as I have a lot of fake teeth (bridges etc). a million stars 🙂

We moved to Washington/Oregon from North Dakota almost three years ago. We had been wanting to find a dentist, yet had the fear of going somewhere we didn’t like. I grew up in the same area of ND as Dr. Daby and knew his dad. I learned Dr. Daby had a practice here and decided it would be a good place to call being we had something in common. Jon’s father is a very kind man and I just couldn’t imagine he would not raise boys that would be just the same. And I was not mistaken. Dr. Daby and his staff were nothing but polite and professional. They treated both my husband and I with such respect and the appointment itself was great. We are so glad we finally made the move to make this appointment.

Dr. Daby and the team at Smiles are simply the best. Dr. Daby has an easy manner and a gentle touch that could put even the most wary at ease. His knowledge and expertise are undeniable and his commitment to excellence is like that of a master artist. My last visit was the best dental experience I have yet to have, due in no small part to his friendly and engaging staff who seem to share in Dr. Daby’s cheerful demeanor. Thank you so much, Smiles on Sandy, for giving me my smile back and giving me something to smile about!

We found smiles on Sandy because of their great reviews and they were in our neighborhood.  I went to my first appointment today with Dr Brett and it went great.  I have a few issues I need to have taken care of as I have been neglecting my dentist visits for a few years, but we laid out a plan and am handling the main thing first, because of the urgency of the situation and the rest is on my time line.  They were a preferred provider under my GEHA Federal, so they are covering about 50% (which I guess is typical for major work). His assistant Mallory was very friendly and put my mind at ease, cause nobody really likes to go to the dentist, but this is a very chill environment and I left there very confident that all my needs were addressed and I had full knowledge of what I would need now and what could wait.

Who ever looks forward to going to the dentist? It’s nuts but that’s how I feel!  Ok, so I don’t have much happening in my dental health other than cleanings and xrays, Dr. Daby and his staff are incredible.  I’m not just saying this because I live in the neighborhood but their new office space has a beautiful, clean atmosphere.  Lots of pretty vegetation looking out of the windows and nice waterfall images on the ceiling.  Xrays are not painful and you don’t even have to get out of your chair!  Speaking of chairs, you might be lucky enough to have the newer massage chair (yes, I said massage) with a knee lift so you’re as comfortable as possible.  The staff is friendly and welcoming – Jerri is fantastic!  Thanks for always remembering me and treating me with care!  You will be my dentist as long as I live here!

I have been a patient at Smiles on Sandy since it opened…and also before, when it was Marshack dental. That is over 45 years. I have stayed because I feel Dr.Jon Daby has been a very good dentist, taking care of my dental needs. I have always felt it to be a professional, and caring dental office. The hygienists and receptionists are great! Congratulations Jon and Brett for making Smiles on Sandy a wonderful experience. It is a beautiful new building, and a great atmosphere.

I’m not normally a review-writer, but I think this team deserves recognition. I find both of the Dentists (both Dr. Daby) to be really wonderful and calming and very conservative. Because of life, I’ve lived abroad a few times, and typically go two years between visits. I’m a PRIME target for a dentist to take advantage of with “Oh, it’s been so long, you need XYZ…” but they’ve never once done that. Every visit they’ve complimented my teeth and I’ve gone on my way, no need for additional work. I have two veneers that have been on for 18 years now, so again, an easy thing to say, “Hey, the lifespan of these guys is typically 10 years or so, let’s replace them.” Instead, they always comment on how great they look, and no suggestion to redo. The whole team (especially the hygienists) are also WONDERFUL with my kids and my kids have no stress about visiting the dentist. So… I think they’re wonderful. Definitely the best dentist that I’ve ever worked with.

I had to switch dentists due to new insurance. With the pandemic in full force, you never know what to expect at a new office. I was brought in for a prelim exam and at the end of it they were able to book an immediate cleaning due to another cancellation. It was so convenient and I’m thankful we could get it all done in one visit. Everyone was very kind and the visit went really well. I highly recommend this group!

I love walking in the door because everyone at the front desk is smiling and always have cheerful greetings.  The dental hygienists are so good they make it a painless experience.  The Dr. Daby brothers are so friendly; you can tell that they love what they do.  My entire family have been patients there for years, and we are just so happy with everyone, that we will be seeing them for years to come.

I was a patient at Blue Sky Dental for a couple of years and now that they have merged I’m a patient at Smiles On Sandy. I really like the new office, there is a lot of space and many more exam rooms. They are using Ipads to check you in and fill out paperwork and trying to minimize paper. I really enjoy all the very kind and helpful staff. I highly recommend Smiles on Sandy, I had a bad experience at a previous dental office and found this wonderful place. I feel very comfortable with Dr. Brett Daby and he has had to do some fillings. Dr. Daby is very warm, personable, has attention to detail, and provides a great and comfortable experience at the dentist. I’m so glad I have found such a great dentist. I have referred some friends and colleagues to Smiles On Sandy.

I am terrified of the dentist. Sweaty palms, panic attack terrified. I finally made an appointment after asking about dentists who specialize in nervous patients which lead me to Smiles on Sandy. Dr. Daby and his team are amazing. Karma is without doubt the best dental hygienist I’ve ever had. She didn’t make me feel embarrassed about my teeth and actually had me laughing in the chair. When we found I had a few cavities the options were clearly explained and it was easy to get an appointment to fix the problem. I originally opted for nitrous but, after Dr Daby/Karma made the first part of the procedure so easy and painless, I actually tried the rest of the appointment without the help. I kept waiting for getting my cavities filled to hurt, which it had ever other time I had been the the dentist, but it didn’t. It didn’t hurt at all. It didn’t hurt when he was drilling, it didn’t hurt when he was filling, it didn’t hurt when I could feel my face again. It just didn’t hurt. If you are nervous about going to the dentist, go see Dr. Daby and his team at Smiles on Sandy. They are amazing. You won’t feel embarrassed, and you don’t need to worry about being afraid. I have never had such a positive experience.

I recommend Smiles on Sandy because they listen to you and try to accommodate your wishes in any way they can. They want their patients to be satisfied with their work and go the extra mile. Dr. Brett is a fantastic dentist and I am so glad I found him. Besides being a very good dentist he is very kind and caring.

I, like a majority of people, have a healthy fear of dentists. This is due to hack jobs done at discount clinics when I was young and uninsured. This fear led to 15 years of dental avoidance. I knew it was high time to suck it up and get a prognosis. I found that a handful of my colleagues see Dr. Daby and they all recommended him knowing I had a phobia. The hardest part for me was calling for an appointment. The staff took it from there. They squeezed me in at the end if the year so I could make good use of my unused benefits, took X-rays and gave an evaluation without an ounce of guilt! My gums were bad enough to be referred to a specialist but we were able to get some fillings out of the way in the meanwhile. His numbing technique is amazing! Just a couple pokes and some massage and I was completely numb for hours. He didn’t work on teeth that may possibly be pulled depending on the specialists evail AND he discounted the one filling that was an easier job than planned. The people here are fantastic at what they do and I really appreciated the no guilt approach. I HIGHLY recommend them to all, especially the phobic!

I appreciate the spontaneous ‘happy visit’ my 3 y/o was offered while waiting for big brother to receive his scheduled cleaning. Turns out, he was more scared of the dental chair than I expected! But, knowing that ahead of time will help us prepare for his official visit when we schedule it! Plus, the hygienist was kind and patient, and he got a new toothbrush out of the deal…there’s a reason we’ve been family patients for over ten years. Consistently flexible and professional, caring and friendly. Thanks, Smiles on Sandy!

I am not a fan of the dentist at all and have had multiple bad experiences in the past. After researching many places, I was recommended to Dr. Daby by a friend and was SUPER pleased! From the Receptionists, to the Hygienist, to Dr. Daby himself, my experience couldn’t have been better! Everyone was very clear about what to expect. I had to have some uncomfortable tests done, but Dr. Daby talked me through it, gave me breaks as I needed them, and worked quickly and efficiently to make sure that my discomfort was short-lived. So happy I found a place that meets all of my dental needs. This might be the best dentist’s office that I have been to in near 30 years!

As someone who has been lucky enough to not need dental work for most of her adult life, I was admittedly pretty nervous to 1) get my teeth checked and 2) get treatment for the two cavities that were discovered during step 1. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful at Smiles on Sandy, and very understanding of my anxiety — everything was explained in details, from showing me where the trouble spots were on my X-rays, to how the actual restorations would be done, to how much my insurance would cost depending on the material chosen… And most importantly, I had zero pain during the actual work done. Couldn’t be happier!

Smiles on Sandy is top notch. The people at the desk are kind and accomodating. They take precautions against Covid. The dental hygienist is professional and gives feedback on what she is doing. They do switch out dentists so sometimes you get Dr Jon and sometimes Dr Brett but I haven’t had a problem with either. I have no issue with getting the checkups from Dr Brett but would like to stick with Dr Jon for regular dental work for continuity. I haven’t been going to SoS long but believe they will accomodate my wishes.

We love Smiles on Sandy! My 8 year old daughter is a patient at Smiles on Sandy, and the care she receives is top-notch. Our hygienist took extra time to teach proper flossing techniques, and Dr. Brett fully explained her X-Rays, showing where new teeth are growing, and what to expect in the coming months/years. Thank you!

I have been going to Dr. Daby, Smiles on Sandy for many years before I got another dental care clinic from my insurance. This year I had to undergo dental implants for my three front teeth (cycling accident) and I went back to Dr. Daby for this. No one wants to go through such an ordeal but Dr. Daby and his staff made this experience more tolerable and pleasant in all ways possible. Dr. Daby is highly skilled in medical dentistry but he is also a perfectionist and artist when it comes to the cosmetic side of dentistry (two qualities you want in your dentist when it is your front teeth!). Olivia made all the financial and scheduling aspects go smoothly, she was patient and kind and always answered my multitude of questions. The dental technicians, Mallory and Karma are kind, compassionate and very skilled. They always held my hand and distracted me while Dr. Daby was giving the anesthesia (I swear I did not feel a thing). And while dental implants are an ordeal to complete through, I never had trouble getting a follow up appointments that worked well with my busy schedule. Now I have my pretty smile back and I am so happy I went to Smiles on Sandy!

I have had a great experience at Smiles on Sandy.  Dr. Daby and his staff take the time to answer my questions and help me understand different treatment options to make an educated decision about my treatment.  And the friendly atmosphere helps me stay comfortable and relaxed when I’m having work done.  I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist.

The dentist may not be your favorite place to go, but the staff and Dr’s at Smiles On Sandy make it such a pleasant (yes I said pleasant) experience. I have been a patient there for about 3 years now, and I will be for many years to come. From the front office staff, to the dental assistants/hygienists, you are in good hands. Everyone cares about your experience, and they go above and beyond. I needed to have a front bridge placed due to a childhood injury, not something I was looking forward to. They were able to rush my bridge order so I could have it put in prior to a vacation, and the Dr got everything in place the day before I left. Superb customer experience. If you are shopping for a dentist, look no further! Did I mention that their hygienist/cleaning chairs massage you while you are getting a cleaning? Amazing

Not many people like going to the dentist. But I’ve been with Smiles for at least 5 years, and couldn’t be happier. Had my teeth cleaned by Brittany today and was one of the best experiences Ive had with a teeth cleaning – kind, respectful, welcoming, knowledgeable, and simply made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. The new office is very clean and professional, and the Dr Daby brothers have done a superior job building their practice. Highly recommend.

This was hands down the best cleaning I have ever had. First off I love the relaxing low light and beautiful picture lights to look at while I’m laying back. No one loves staring at a non-descript ceiling but we’ve all been there, this was a wonderful change that helped distract me. Also: MASSAGE CHAIR. A genius addition, complete with a leg pillow! My hygienist was friendly, efficient, and wonderfully speedy, with my appointment taking well under an hour. I also found out that I had to have some filings and the staff were great about reassuring me and explaining the different costs and kinds of fillings. It’s a big deal for me to feel that I am being dealt with clearly and honestly. I definitely felt that with the Smiles on Sandy staff and will be going back regularly.

I didn’t go to the dentist for 18 years because of bad experiences as a child. I’ve been going to Smiles on Sandy for almost 5 years and now actually look forward to getting my teeth cleaned! They are so friendly, professional, personal and concerned with my comfort, I hope I never have to change dentists. Dr. Daby is super nice and always makes me feel comfortable. The hygienists are amazing and very good at their job! They’ve done some remodeling the last couple years and the finished/merged office is clean and beautiful. I love this place, I highly recommend it!
