I'm new to Portland. A friend who has seen Doc. Kevin for 20 years recommended MacDen., highly. I was impressed with Heather in booking my appointment and the resultant admin items; with Jess as the dental assistant and DocKev, as a sweet dude, how narrowed in on my issue with competency. The office is very high tech and ultra modern. Super pleased with my initial Mac Den. experience. High, high recommend! read more

I am sharing my experience because I believe prospective patients should have the opportunity to learn from a patient's experience and make informed decisions about their dental care. I received treatment at Macadam Dental in June 2025 after experiencing tooth pain. A pre-determination for crowns and buildups on teeth #2 and #3 was submitted to Delta Dental on July 3 and approved July 8. I was not notified by the office that the approval had been received. When I asked about it at my September 8 appointment, I was initially told the office had not received it. After I explained that I had received the approval, staff located it in their system. Macadam Dental then referred me to an endodontist for root canal treatment prior to crowns. The endodontist subsequently requested that Macadam Dental perform tooth reduction before the root canal procedure. On October 2, Macadam Dental spent several hours performing tooth reduction on two teeth. During the procedure, the dental handpiece grinding my teeth kicked back while it was in my mouth and was briefly loose. I experienced immediate distress and screamed. After the anesthetic wore off, I began experiencing ongoing and increasing pain involving at least two teeth that had not previously been symptomatic. I was concerned by the poor response I received from Macadam Dental afterward and sought evaluation and treatment from additional dental providers who were more responsive to my distress. Resolving the situation and determining a path forward took months. During this process, I discovered that Macadam Dental had submitted an October 2 insurance claim representing crown services as completed, even though the definitive crowns had not been seated. I had a temporary restoration placed by Macadam Dental that day; the permanent crowns had not yet been made or delivered to the office; and the root canal treatment that had been identified as necessary had not yet occurred - so far from complete as Macadam Dental represented to Delta Dental. I disputed the claim with Delta Dental. Delta Dental subsequently recovered the payment from the provider. When I spoke with a Delta Dental representative by phone, he told me that he considered the billing issue to involve fraud. I am reporting that as what was communicated to me; I am not independently making a determination about intent. I also requested copies of my dental records from Macadam Dental. I did not initially receive them. After I filed a complaint with the Oregon Board of Dentistry, I received records, but I continued to identify what I believed were missing or incomplete portions and had to make additional requests, with the Oregon Board of Dentistry copied on the correspondence. My concern is not simply that something went wrong during treatment. It is the combination of the delayed follow-up regarding an approved treatment plan, what occurred during the October 2 procedure, the subsequent pain and difficulty obtaining appropriate care, the insurance claim for crown services that had not been completed, and the difficulty I experienced obtaining a timely resolution and complete records. Since leaving Macadam Dental, I have consulted additional dental practitioners about what treatment is actually necessary. One subsequent practitioner evaluated me and determined that I did not require the root canals that had previously been recommended. I was also advised that the extensive tooth reduction that had been performed was not necessary. I am now dealing with the permanent loss of tooth structure resulting from that treatment. I am sharing this experience so that other patients can ask questions, carefully review treatment plans and insurance claims, and understand what treatment has actually been completed before proceeding with additional care. This review reflects my personal experience, my understanding of the records available to me, and statements made to me by the professionals involved. I am not attempting to make an independent determination about professional misconduct or intent. read more

Let me state that I am a regular visitor to the dentist. I've never been afraid of going to the dentist so I take part in twice a year visits. Next, let me state that I have known the two main dentists here for many years, and they are exceptional people. Very kind, warm, friendly, and honest. I have trust in them as people as much as I have trust in them as my providers. Drs Kevin and Jodie Morich are amazing humans! The clinic itself is located in a historic building called the water tower. They recently updated their space and it is very modern and clean. There are murals close to the ceiling that are absolutely spectacular. As you would expect, the space looks very sterile and intentional about Keeping things as sanitary as possible. One of the best parts about this clinic is that they have three therapy dogs and a therapy tortoise. If you want, they will have one of the dogs sit in your lap during your exam with the dentist. It's another layer of amazing on top of an already outstanding experience for your general dental needs. Check it out! read more

See all

All of my concerns were dealt with promptly and courteously. This included not only the technical issues but also insurance implications of the care plan. read more

Call for an appointment now since they're booked out a few months!! Also, your call is answered by a human (imagine that!). Initially I had to make two (one for XR and exam and another for cleaning) since I'm a new patient, but luckily they were able to take me off the waitlist later on and I had both appointments on the same day. Today was my first visit and it was so smooth. The office is very modern with water and coffee (or tea?) in the lobby. Facilities are clean. My hygienist was Olya, who explained every step and was thorough in her cleaning. She also answered a bunch of questions so by the time the dentist came to examine me I had none left. She also booked my next appointment while we had some downtime which expedited my checkout. I would definitely recommend seeing her! And they accept OHSU dental insurance! read more

I have total confidence in Dr. Kevin and the entire staff at Macadam Dental. They always are kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this dental group. read more

Such a great place I've been going here for a while and always have a great experience. The staff are all super friendly and do a wonderful job. read more

Terry the hygienist was great and Dr Lee is always a pleasure to see. I've been going to this dental office for many years.

I was a patient here for 3-4 years, and convenience was the main reason I stayed. Unfortunately, my overall experience eventually led me to look elsewhere. X-rays were taken at many of my visits, including some visits that were close together and included routine cleanings, and I often felt that additional services were being recommended rather than my concerns being fully discussed. Last week, I scheduled an appointment because of tooth/gum discomfort. The examination lasted only 2-3 minutes, and the dentist did not ask me any questions about my symptoms, pain. He told me that I had a crack and needed another X-ray before he would do anything further. I asked whether the crack was visible on my previous X-ray, which had been taken only 6-8 months earlier, and it was. When I declined another X-ray, he shut down the conversation, would not provide treatment or even a brief conversation about my symptoms. I understand that X-rays and other imaging can sometimes be medically necessary, what I sought through this appointment was a conversation about my symptoms, findings, and my treatment options. Instead, I felt dismissed and rushed and bullied. Throughout my time there, I often felt that the dentist spent the least amount of time possible with me. I felt more like a customer than a patient. I have decided to move to a different dental practice. read more

Always love coming to the dentist. Amazing care. Beautiful space. Amazing staff. Sweet dogs. I can't recommend highly enough.

My wife and I love this place. It's without a doubt the best dentist office we've ever had. From the top down, everyone is so positive, accommodating and personable. And very gentle for those who are normally dentist averse. Thank you so much! read more

First visit and I was most impressed from start to finish very thorough and professional The presence of the dogs was such an important factor that demonstrated a strong knowledge of providing a comforting atmosphere. read more

Macadam Dental has been my go-to dentist since I moved to Portland in 2018. Their professionalism and friendly atmosphere keeps me coming back for all my dental needs. I highly recommend. read more

I received excellent care while at Macadam Dental, but I am extremely disappointed with their handling of my credit balance. After switching insurance and requesting a refund for the amount owed, I was told I would receive a check by mid-January. It is now mid-February, and despite multiple follow-ups, the check has not been issued. It is unacceptable for a practice to require immediate payment for services while delaying refunds for months. This experience has been frustrating and reflects poorly on their administrative practices read more

On time. Efficient teeth cleaning and gum exam with good communication about what was found. And then Kevin found a cracked crown that needs to be replaced. read more

I switched to Macadam many years ago and it was a great decision. Their technology was so far ahead of my old dentist and it made life so much easier. The staff are all very friendly. Bonus: If you are a dog lover and/or are anxious, request a therapy dog! They are so sweet and I'll take a nap on you. read more

As a patient for over 20 years, I can easily confirm that everyone is a top flight dental professional.

We have been going to Macadam Dental for 10+ years. Quality services in every respect. Kevin and Jody are excellent dentists and the staff reflects the same attention to detail and patient concerns. Yes they are busy, but that's the price of having a good dentist with great reputation; word gets out. Reception area comfortable and spacious. They are well worth waiting for and in emergencies, they've gotten me in within 24 hours. Very responsive. read more

I am in from out of town and MacAdam Dental got me in right away to fix my dental emergency. First the front desk people are amazing. Friendly. Professional. Sent me the forms to fill out in seconds. So all done in advance. The dental care and explanations from Dr Lee were informative and very helpful. Thanks to everyone. read more

I called to make an appointment in September and was told that the only openings they had were in February 2022. I wasn't in a hurry o see a dentist, so I accepted the date. A couple of months later, I noticed that I had not received a man email confirmation. I reached out to them and was told that my appointment was never booked and that the next appointment would be in June 2022. This mistake was attributed to a "change/shortages" in staffing. If this is any indication of their customer service, im glad that I don't have to deal with them anytime soon. read more

I got charged $160 and took up two hours of my time for a single x-Ray. Didn't even x-Ray my whole mouth. And it' was digital, so no developing photos overhead costs. They just thought taking three more pics with a digital camera was too much extra effort I guess. There is a such thing as referral pain. Just because the pain was in my top right quadrant doesn't mean my mouth didn't maybe have other issues. Everybody was polite though. Just the charge wasn't at all commensurate to the work received. read more

In this life, we are fortunate to ever find a dentist that we truly like, and Dr. Morich is the second dentist I have absolutely loved going to see. Full disclosure, I don't have the best teeth and having a good dentist is very important to me. The entire staff is always very pleasant, efficient, and well trained and competent. Dr. Morich (Kevin, I have not met his wife who also practices at this clinic) is a wonderful listener, a terrific dentist, and a very knowledgeable practitioner. And while I enjoy many things about this clinic, my favorite thing is that they have a machine that can make a crown while you wait. NO MORE TEMPORARY CROWNS! This is worth the price of admission alone, but the whole experience is truly one of the best in the field. read more

I have been coming to Macadam Dental since 2010 on the recommendation of a coworker when I first moved to Portland and I will never go anywhere else they are truly the best! The technicians are all very thorough, kind, and safe and the dentists are wonderful. They just hired a new dentist and she was exceptionally competent. Thank you Macadam Dental for your excellent care. read more

This review is for the veneers that I got at Macadam Dental. I encourage everyone to go elsewhere for cosmetic dentistry. First, let me start by saying I had veneers for 20 years and never had a problem even once. They never came off, and always felt like real teeth. I ate apples and carrots with no concern. I went to Macadam Dental to replace my 20 year old veneers, it was simply time to replace them as veneers usually last for 10-15 years. In the year I have had the new ones, one tooth has come off twice. Both times, while eating soft food (tofu and then soft pizza). They feel like air is passing through, they don't feel sturdy at all. I am scared to eat, to brush my teeth, to do anything. I am losing weight and have to order soup when I go out to eat for fear something will happen at a restaurant. The first time the veneer came off, I went in to get it re-bonded and Macadam Dental charged me $300 for a 15 minute fixing appointment. I paid nearly $5000 for the veneers in the first place. I could not believe it when I got the bill. This is traumatic enough and shouldn't happen, how awful. Not only that, they blamed ME, saying I should wear a mouth guard at night. I am sorry, but can I remind you about my 20 years of veneers never coming off? My sleeping habits have not changed. This is NOT how good veneers feel, I should know after 20 years. The second time they came off I went to another dentist to bond again. You know what a brand new place charged me? $200. That is $100 less for someone else fixing it. I am now going to a veneer specialist to get a full and careful look at why this is happening. I don't have any trust in Macadam to tell the truth about the reason for this. I have $500 in bills for re-bonding on top of paying the initial sum. This is a total nightmare that is disrupting my life, and causing me depression and inability to even eat. I am scared to travel for fear they come off while away. These are my front teeth and I work in sales, I can't have them come off like this. read more

I have just moved to Portland from the east coast and decided that I would give this practice a try due to their proximity to my new home and the consistently great reviews they had received. Over the last few days before I had a chance to set up a first visit, I developed a toothache which escalated overnight. I called the office when they opened at 7:30am and even though I was not yet a patient in the practice they responded immediately and I was in a dental chair in front of Dr. Jodi by 7:50am even though the office was really crowded by the time I got there. The care I got from Dr. Jodi was thoughtful and explained in detail as if she had all the time in the world. As I left I heard her apologizing to her next patient for being late due to another patient with a dental emergency...that was me. I have been a medical doctor for over thirty years and I can recognize good care and the compassion it takes to disrupt the office schedule at the very start of the day for a complete stranger. I was impressed with the care I received and the overall friendly vibe of the office. I will certainly be coming back with my family for all of our regular care. read more

The Morich Family dentists are wonderful. They have helped me recover from a childhood of difficult dental experiences. Each time I go to them I am amazed by how kind and caring their treatment is. Our entire family goes to their office and my kids have had a very positive experience there as well. The staff is very easy to communicate with and the dentists do not try to do a lot of unnecessary work. Thank you so much to Kevin and Jodi Morich and all of their staff. read more

When it comes to medical professionals, I always want to note that I have wicked anxiety, so that when I say the medico was awesome, the full weight is known. I cannot possibly describe how amazing this place, and this dentist, is. The office itself is very spacious and well-designed. Every assistant I have interacted with has been pleasant and helpful, and not solicitous* or condescending in the least. This helps tremendously, as assistants make the office. (* Noted bias: I don't like it when people ask after me every five minutes. The capacity to both be available and not be intrusive is a rare quality.) Dr. Morich himself is incredibly kind. He is gentle, yet (again) not condescending. It's surprisingly easy to tell him what's going on because he never judges. Allow me to say this again: he never judges. Not in my experience. If you have even the slightest whiff of anxiety, dentist-specific or otherwise, you would do well to come here. His primary importance is the client's well-being, and he includes emotional composure in this. Once, he offered to reschedule and give me a scrip for an anti-anxiety med, because I was so nervous. He seems to genuinely prefer giving good dental service. He also gives options for various procedures before he starts them, and is honest about the pros and cons of each. As odd as it is to say, I don't mind going to this dentist at all. read more

My family has been going to Macadam Dental for 3 years now. Most of our visits have been regular checkups. I can't say that a trip to the dentist can be enjoyable, but ours have consistently been as relaxed as can be imagined. The Drs. and all of their staff are extremely professional (and truly interesting people, which makes a difference when your stuck in a chair). But most importantly, both my daughter and I have had the crowns for front tooth implants done by Mr. Dr. Morich. In both cases, the process was easy and painless, and the results look much better than our original teeth. I remember sitting in a traffic jam on Sellwood bridge on the way to Macadam, thinking "maybe we should find a closer dentist". It took 2 seconds to process that thought. No way. read more

Anna and Dr. Kevin knocked it out of the park today at my dental appointment, with their kindness and excellent care. I worked myself into an anxious knot this morning, because of old fears about going to the dentist, dreading the appointment, to have a back molar prepped for a crown. By the time I got to my appointment in the early afternoon had been a mess for hours, and my dental anxiety was sky high. I have complete faith in Dr. Kevin and Anna, who assists him. I'm the one who makes myself crazy! I took a half a Xanax a bit before the appointment, which also helped. Before they began the procedure they listened carefully to my concerns, and helped me pinpoint my biggest concern (that we would learn that my most recent crown, on an adjacent tooth, would need a root canal, because of occasional zings, and sensitivity). They were clear that my having a good experience was the highest priority. Anna was happy to provide me with a blanket, and brought me a set of headphones, with the adapter for my phone, so I could listen to music during the drilling - I forgot my earbuds at home. And I *hate* needles, and the injection of the numbing agent is the worst part of the appointment for me. I was offered the option of Dr. Kevin doing the injection, rather than a hygienist, which I appreciated, and accepted, given how anxious I was. Dr. Kevin is great about telling me when he is halfway through the injection, and when there's about 5 seconds left, and Anna gently squeezes my shoulder, which is very comforting. A big shout out to Anna and Dr. Kevin for making a stressful experience as stressless as possible. Thank you! read more

Excellent dentist with a gentle hand who doesn't take shortcuts. I have been going to Dr Kevin Morich since they first opened and recommended many other people. read more

Dr's Morich and their staff are wonderful! The office has a very warm and pleasant atmosphere; I am always greeted with a warm welcome. The staff is very knowledgeable and super easy to talk to; great conversationalists as well. I've never enjoyed a dentist experience, until Macadam Dental!! Thank you to Kevin Morich and your awesome staff. read more

Really friendly staff and modern office. I got the feeling it was a business that took great care to make the experience comfortable for patients. Took my nine year old daughter there for a routine check and she was happy with her visit. The dentist came out and was really easy to talk to. He had nothing to say except my daughter's teeth looked good, even reassuring me that her crooked teeth may straighten out themselves. There is plenty of parking but do be aware that visitor parking is designated at the outer perimeters of the lot and they do ticket if you don't park there. I made that mistake but the office helped me fix the issue. Icing on the cake! read more

This is the best team ever! My husband & I have been going to see Dr. Kevin from around the time the practice first opened. The business has grown through the years with Dr. Jody coming on board, their wonderful staff growing and of course their two special therapy techs Maggie & Bo. The staff continues to provide the same outstanding service since my first visit in 2004. Four years ago we moved to the Oregon coast to retire. No other practice can replace this team, so we continue to see Dr. Jody & Dr. Kevin in Portland. read more

I have gone to any number of dentists over the last 50 years, and, as far as I'm concerned, this is the pinnacle of dental care. I love to have work done while therapy dog Maggie is on my lap. The levels of comfort and care are exceptional. Highly recommended! read more

My family and I have been coming here for over six years, Kevin and Jodi run a great Dental Clinic. Expect prompt, thorough, and compassionate treatment. From cleaning, to fillings, to billing, this is a 5 Star operation that will make you feel that you made the right choice. I recommend them highly! read more

They are simply impeccable: Highly skilled dentists, highly skilled Dental hygienists, and a team that makes your treatment at the dentist the most pleasant I've ever experienced. They all go out of their way to accommodate my very sensitive facial nerves. This place is the real deal if you want amazing dental work with great bed manners! read more

Both doctors and all the staff at Macadam are exceptional in their trade. They deliver a really amazing level of attention and have super amazing technology which makes things easy peasy and as comfortable as can be. I recommend this practice for children and adults. They are superb!!!! read more

My whole family sees Doctors Jodi and Kevin at Macadam Dental and I have always been impressed with their kindness, professionalism and honesty. I have had the experience with other dentists that they are pushing unnecessary procedures but not at Macadam Dental. My youngest son looks forward to going to the dentist and when he had to get a couple of small cavities filed, he was calm and un-afraid. Dr. Jodi is especially great with young children! read more

It is rare these days that someone or something exceeds your expectations and that is the case at Macadam Dental. I had some crowns put on as well as some veneers. My smile is back better than ever! The best part was the entire procedure was explained and executed exactly like it was described. The staff and Dr. Morich go out of their way to make you feel as comfortable as possible. I also appreciate the reminders about appointments. They make great use of technology to keep you informed. I may be moving from the South Waterfront in the next 30 days, but I will not be changing my dentist! Thank you Macadam Dental for the great work and service. You really have a great practice. See you for my cleaning in a few months! read more

Love these guys. Great family dentist. I've been going to Kevin and Jody since 2004. They are committed to changing the notions we have about dentistry, ensuring kids today grow up loving the dentist! I recommend them to all my friends, and now I'm recommending them to you Yelpers. read more
