The team at High Desert Dental believes that excellent dental care should be available to everyone. Under the leadership of Ben Peterson, DDS, the practice has become an invaluable resource to the community of Ontario, Oregon, and is always searching for ways to improve access to unparalleled dental treatment.
Preventive care is a foundation of the practice. Comprehensive dental exams provide insight into each patients current dental health, and professional teeth cleaning sends them out into the world with a sparkling smile. Patient education is woven into every interaction, giving patients the skills needed to take control of their own dental health and wellness.
When restorative care is needed, a conservative approach is preferred. Patients are advised on all available treatment options, including the potential outcomes of not moving forward with treatment. Every effort is made to preserve as much healthy tooth tissue as possible when creating crowns, bridges, and root canals.
Cosmetic dentistry is also an area of focus, allowing patients to feel confident about the smiles they share. Dental veneers, teeth whitening, bonding, contouring, and reshaping are just some of the possibilities. Invisalign offers the chance to straighten smiles without traditional metal braces.
High Desert Dental also offers treatment for sleep apnea, a serious condition that can affect your overall health. Dental implants are also an area of specialty, and can permanently replace missing teeth. Patients can even rely on Dr. Peterson for Botox and fillers, options that can deliver a more youthful and well-rested facial appearance.
While all patients are valued at High Desert Dental, pediatric dentistry is an especially rewarding part of the practice. Watching kids grow up and embrace great dental hygiene is incredibly rewarding for Dr. Peterson and his team, and reminds them why they chose to build careers around dental health.
For those in and around Ontario, Oregon, who are searching for state-of-the-art dental care from a caring and compassionate provider, High Desert Dental has a lot to offer. Call the office today to book a visit, or schedule online with just a few clicks.

My bite will never be the same. I'm super sad to write this, maybe it will help someone else make an informed decision. Atmosphere is great, however the work was disappointing. I was sent to a different office for the root canal btw. A scan was taken of my tooth and sent out to the lab. What came back might as well have been a cardboard square. I was send away after grinding it down, even though I said it felt off. Realized when I got home my back tooth behind the crown, NOT the crown had been filed down without my knowledge. No one said ever told me or gave an explanation till I went back in again to get adjusted. I guess other teeth need to be blunted down to make a crown fit because I was also told my top tooth above my crown was going to filed down to make room for the I'll fitting crown. Another example that the scan of my tooth did not yeild accurate results. Crown has been ground down as much as it can be without breaking. That is what I was told at least. Yet another example the crown was not correct before being put on. I went in for 3 total adjustments. Meaning for the low price of 1,100 I now have a permanently wrong bite, a headache behind my eyeball, and an achy tooth. Edit: Dr. Peterson called me back to say a new crown would be just the same as this one. That I would be unhappy even if I received a new crown. Also accused me of trying to extort money for his work. Not willing to do anything about it except exam the tooth yet again, despite the fact he was the one who personally told me that he could do anything more on the crown. I am in daily pain and there is no recourse for me. I would never go here again even to have him "take a look". I would highly suggest NEVER coming here for dental work. Dr Peterson does not do anything close to what I would call good work. Update: 9 months and still in pain everyday. Crown was too wide and has now pushed my teeth apart causing severe crowding in the end of the gum line where my wisdom teeth were previously. The space that was there is not existant and the gum has puckered up. Chewing is so painful. Going to get this removed eventually, probably ridiculously expensive to do so.

Dr Ben is the best dentist ever! Doesn't oversell, gives you what's best for you. I would recommend him and his staff to anyone. Judy is a teeth cleaning artist and Rachel at the front desk is the sweetest most accommodating receptionist literally, on this earth!

I have never received care as I have from Dr. Ben and his staff, attention to detail, a fine set of teeth, and immediate response when I had an emergency. I recommend this dental facility and their always friendly crew.
