Meet Our Team
 At Great Grins for KIDS - Portland, dentistry for kids is more than bright, healthy smiles; it's also about making the trip to the dentist a calm, pleasant experience so there's no fear of "next time." We take pride in seeing our patients grow into their adult teeth, so we're committed to earning the trust of everyone who visits our practice—both children and parents. That's why we take extra time to build rapport and earn confidence; it makes the experience easier for everyone. Our friendly and experienced staff loves working with kids of all ages. We look forward to meeting your child and helping them learn how fun dentistry can be.
