Dr. Manami Yamaguchi, DDS

Dr. Yamaguchi is a graduate of Oregon Health Science University School of Dentistry in 1996. While in dental school, she assisted several health-related projects such as Altzheimer disease and cataract research out of her strong interests in health. She has since treated over 6000 patients, meeting a wide variety of patients' needs. She explains, "The mouth is where you distribute everything good and bad throughout your body. If you have a disease or infection, your body is constantly challenged and stressed. In the past, we have created many beautiful smiles, and importantly, those smiles reflect how much better our patients feel inside as well. Recently, there is an increasing evidence of a strong link between dental well-being and over-all health. As more patients come see us for cosmetic dentistry now, people who visit our office to improve oral and over-all health have increased also."
ARTISTIC, BEAUTIFUL SMILE: Dr. Yamaguchi is known for the beautiful results of her dentistry, …assisted by the world-class dental laboratories and specialists. Increasing demands for aesthetic dentistry require a dentist and her lab to be artistic and detailed. "Depending on my patient's expectation, I explore many possibilities beyond the white, straight teeth: Are the gums well contoured and in harmony with the teeth? Does the face frame the new smile well? Can the bite be improved for better function? I review many questions with my clients to learn what matters to my client to have his/her beautiful smile," she explains. This is why Dr. Yamaguchi often works closely with renowned specialists who fine-tune the resulting smile the way her patient desires. "And if you feel no need for our additional service, then you might not employ it. Your plan plays a key role in my treatment planning."
WELLNESS: Her gentle, easy approach has helped many patients who wished to smile again with confidence after years of neglect or fear of dentistry. Each patient's wellness is important, as she says, "In my practice, if you haven't seen a dentist for a long time, we greatly appreciate you for getting back on track. My team focuses on how to assist you to regain control of your oral health." Her professional team maintains a warm, friendly atmosphere in calm and elegant surroundings all intended to make your experience as pleasant as possible.
