Dr. Houghton has been absolutely amazing every time I have seen him. Efficient, calm and as the company name states, gentle. Recommended from someone who has historically avoided the dentist and is generally pretty adverse to the whole experience. He pulled one of my wisdom teeth when it got infected in no time, and then recently the rest of them with no incident. He followed up and made sure everything was fine and even when my nervousness sent me back to his office to double check, he was very understanding and helpful. The rest of the staff is also very friendly and polite. Great customer service. 5 stars for a fully deserved reason.

I will update my review as my experience progresses. So far they are very kind and knowledgeable enough to deem trustworthy. Update: Still knowledgeable, and still trustworthy. Overall best experience with a dentist I've had since I was a young child. I plan on coming back here for my dental needs and even referring my family.

Several years ago I had a tooth pulled at the Lloyd Gentle Dental and I was happy with the outcome.. I was able to be put to sleep during my procedure, when I woke up my tooth was pulled and the procedure was completed.. The only bad thing was I got sick off the pain pills that was prescribed to me but overall it was excellent, I will be going back to my Lloyd Gentle Dental for another procedure.. Thank you Gentle Dental..

Broke one of my fake teeth of while in portland on a business trip. They are open late so I was able to get in and get it repaired same day. The repair quality WAS THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD. Honestly the work my dentist did was outstanding. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful, I wish this was my local dentist.
