Modern equipment helps make us one of the most technologically advanced offices in the area. It enables us to be faster, less invasive and more efficient while offering the highest level of dental care at an affordable cost to you.
CEREC CAD/CAM is the epitome of Modern Dentistry. It means that in just 2 hours you can have a crown! There are no temporaries and no need for a second visit. It's a precise fit. CEREC CAD/CAM is less invasive and delivers durable, natural looking crowns in a snap.
Electronic Dental Records are an integrated part of our practice management system. Our paperless system delivers electronic charting, digital imaging and enhanced case presentation where it is needed most... at chair side.
Digital X-rays offer a huge advantage in early detection and preventive services. Advanced image manipulation and analysis, for example, allows your doctor to detect early stages of gum disease through recognition of bone level changes, or by evaluating the results against a previous treatment.
An intraoral camera is an indispensable diagnostic and educational tool. The tiny video camera moves around inside of your mouth and generates a tooth by tooth video exam of your teeth. Using an intraoral camera allows patients to better understand their dental needs by seeing what the dentist sees and then having it explained.
Lasers are a non-surgical approach to arresting the progression of periodontal disease. Following scaling and root planing, a laser is used to significantly reduce the bacterial colonies and decontaminate the infected periodontal pocket. Lasers also remove the infected tissue lining the periodontal pocket. As the infected tissue is removed, microscopic blood clots form and your body's natural healing response takes over. As you heal, the tissue reattaches to the bone and your gums return to a healthy infection-free state.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an advanced, proven technology that provides more precise three-dimensional (3D) imaging for more accurate diagnosis and treatment of oral health conditions. 3D dental X-rays can uncover issues that may not be detectable with 2D X-rays. By making images easier to see, its helpful in gaining a better understanding of oral health conditions and suggested treatment.

The Dentist, Dr. Nimmo was very wonderful, caring and kind. She gave me a lot of information prior to fix my tooth.

If I could give zero stars... I would. Almost every single tooth I had worked on is now having painful recurring issues. When I called them to get assistance with this (as I couldn't eat, or sleep without medications) I was told my dentist up and quit, Dr Afshar. There was no dentist in office and no follow up. Eventually I called them again, telling them the pain at this point is so unbearable that I woke up in the dead of night and did nothing but cry until morning. Still no dentists in office, so they send me out of office to a different dentist. I end up paying another office a bunch of money to fix the teeth I just had fixed. Two days later, a crown came off. This time, didn't even call them. I went to an emergency tooth doctor as I had no hope of them getting back to me. Now I'm sitting here, weeks since my last appointment with this office. And another. Filling. Comes. Out. I left a voicemail, but as it's Saturday night I know I'll end up having to go somewhere else. I was assured that I was "done till your next cleaning" many times since going to this office. But since I let Lake Oswego Modern Dentistry and Dr. Afshar work on my teeth, I have had nothing but pain in more teeth than I started with, and a really unhealthy fear of eating. Thanks, guys! You definitely changed my life!

To be completely honest, I was very freaked out about seeing another dentist. Dr. Pagan and his staff have been very kind and professional. My best experience has been with the dental hygienist. I freak out about needles and she made me ease into the process and made it pain free. Thank you, Lake Oswego Modern Dentistry!

Salma, Kirsten, Jocelyn and Dr Nimmo are fantastic! I went in for a new patient appointment and was blown away by the care, friendliness, customer service and professionalism. Their office is new and bright, they took the time to review my X-rays, discuss treatment options and costs, and made me feel like a valued patient. Each team member is very good at what they do and it shows. I had an excellent experience.

7/22: Another cleaning, another fantastic visit with Dr Afshar and his team. I have more to say, but for some reason, Google hasn't caught up to Yelp yet to allow you to post review updates and since they cap the max words allowed, I can't say it here. So see my Yelp review for more detail. But the 5 stars remain. -- 1/22: This weekend I was eating some pretzels when I bit down on something hard. Imagine my surprise when I reached and pulled out half of one of back my crowns. In a panic, I called Dr Afshar's office and explained the situation, and they could not have been more helpful and understanding on the phone. I told them I was leaving out of town soon, so thankfully they were able to squeeze me in for an emergency visit early Mon morning. Well, Mon morning came, and I was feeling really nervous because I've had many bad dental experiences in the past at other offices. However, I had nothing to be afraid of. From the moment I stepped foot into their office, everyone made me feel welcome and right at home. First impressions upon entering the exam room, everything was clean & very modern, and all Covid protocols were followed to a "T". When Dr Afshar came in and introduced himself, I was immediately put at ease by his excellent chair side manner (is that even a term?). He listened to my concerns about what had brought me into the office that day, and after a brief exam & x-rays, he carefully explained to me what needed to be done to fix my tooth and exactly how long it would take. He assured me that not only would I be completely done within 2 hours, but that I would be leaving at the end of my appointment with a brand new crown, not just a temporary crown, which would have meant at least one more follow-up visit. I was amazed, but I have to admit, somewhat skeptical. However I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. Well, 1 hour 45 mins later, I was walking out of the office with a brand new perfectly-fitted permanent crown. Yes, you heard me. A permanent crown in less than 2 hours! From start to finish, including the prep. With absolutely zero pain. And this is coming from the girl who is traditionally impossible to get and keep numb, yet Dr Afshar got it right on the very first try, and didn't even have to give me a second injection. And his assistant, Hannah, was such a sweetheart and was quite literally his right hand the entire time. They worked in perfect unison to get everything done efficiently yet correctly, and more than exceeded my expectations. So long story short, I'm now sitting here sipping my Mai Tai on the beach in Hawaii WITH A WHOLE TOOTH all thanks to Dr Afshar and his amazing team who quickly got me in, even though I was a new patient, and did an outstanding job replacing my broken crown so that I'm now in even better shape than I was before it broke in the first place. So thank you, Dr Afshar. I really, truly appreciate all that you did on Monday. And I will see you again at the end of this month for my cleaning. :) -- Update to my previous review.... My 5 stars still stand. Today I had the luxury (yes, you heard me right), of coming in and having my 6 month cleaning done by Dr Afshar and his wonderful assistant, Hannah, at their LO office. Right out of the gate, I could tell this was going to be a cleaning like none I had received before. Every tool they use is cutting edge, making their name, Modern Dentistry, quite fitting. The x-rays which normally bring tears to my eyes when I have to bite down on the hard plastic (you know what I'm talking about) were a breeze (thank you, Ms Hannah). And all of the instruments that were used during the actual cleaning not only helped things to go more quickly, but I could tell that a thorough job was being done, and all without any pain. I felt really comfortable today, and I honestly think anyone should feel completely at ease about having any of their dental work done by Dr Afshar and his team. Not only is he very knowledgeable, but they have the most up-to-date technology available and they will take excellent care of you. Highly recommend.
