Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions through surgically placed titanium roots that fuse with jawbone tissue. This service offers durable support for crowns, bridges, or dentures while preserving facial structure. Ideal for patients with missing teeth seeking natural-looking, long-term solutions that function like natural teeth.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligner therapy offers discreet teeth straightening using custom-made, removable plastic trays. This treatment gradually repositions teeth through sequential tray changes while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Suitable for correcting mild to moderate alignment issues without traditional metal braces' visibility or dietary restrictions.
Root Canals
Root canal therapy treats infected or inflamed tooth pulp through precise cleaning and sealing of root canals. This procedure eliminates pain while preserving natural tooth structure using advanced endodontic techniques. Recommended for saving teeth with deep decay or traumatic nerve damage that would otherwise require extraction.
Sedation Dentistry
Conscious sedation options help anxious patients receive necessary dental care through medication-induced relaxation. This service enables completion of multiple procedures in single visits while minimizing discomfort and memory of treatment. Particularly beneficial for patients with dental phobias or complex treatment needs.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services offer customized solutions for removing surface stains and deep discoloration. Using take-home trays with professional-grade bleaching gel, patients achieve brighter smiles under dental supervision. Effective for enhancing smiles before special events or improving overall appearance.

I couldn't be happier with the amazing care that Dr. McNutt and his entire staff provided for my daughter's dental treatment. We have found a great dentist to provide all of our dental treatment for years to come. Thank you Dr. Dale.

Brenna is an accomplished and personable dental hygienist. She did not seem to mind when I wanted to talk, although my talking does slow things! She gave me several good tips about caring for my teeth and gums. I heartedly recommend Brenna. Sarah Harlan

I had the best experience at Lake Oswego Smiles. Thuy was so great and gentle with my cleaning and Dr. Dale was just as easy on my sensitive teeth while he filled my cavity. I highly recommend this practice for all your dental needs. The office is very clean and welcoming.

I've been to many dentists over the years and Dr. McNutt and his staff stand out as the best. The staff are warm and welcoming and Dr. McNutt is detailed in his exams and procedures and also provides sound advice. Additionally they are on time and get you on your way without having to wait around like many offices do.
