Services
Meet the dental professionals, including Dentist Dr. James Moshier, DMD, who make our office a family. When Dr. Moshier took over the Pleasant Street Dental years ago, he knew he wanted to maintain its reputation for being extremely friendly, community-based, and professional. Today, we're known for not only those qualities, but also for our commitment to technologically advanced dentistry and superior treatment.
Take necessary care of your teeth and gums with dental cleanings, exams, and sealants to protect long-term oral health. Dental cleaning removes plaque and calculus deposits that naturally build up on the teeth over time. Specialized tools and a final polish will leave your teeth clean and smooth, making it difficult for bacteria to attach and allowing you to better care for your oral health at home.
Maintain the long-term health of your teeth and gums with regular cleanings, screenings, and needed fillings. Hygiene Therapy takes place at a regular dental cleaning and involves removing all the plaque and calculus deposits that naturally build up on teeth over time.

Specialized tools and a final polish will leave your teeth clean and smooth, making it difficult for bacteria to attach and allowing you to better care for your oral health at home.Periodontal Therapy is completed if you have an active infection around your gums and teeth called periodontal disease.
Veneers are a life-changing dental treatment that genuinely transforms the look of your smile and function of your teeth. Achieve the smile of your dreams with customized, long-lasting veneers. Dr. James Moshier and the team at Pleasant Street Dental are highly trained in the science and art of dental veneers.
Crowns are typically used to protect a tooth after breaking, to restore a tooth after a root canal, to support a bridge, or with a large restoration that is failing. Crowns and bridges are made from quality ceramics that add strength, impressive stability, and look completely natural in the mouth. Root Canal Therapy is used to save a problematic tooth by removing diseased nerve tissue within the root.

I have been going here for at least 5 years. Everyone is professional. Dr Mosher mumbles sometimes but is very very good at his job. Just had to get two fillings and they explained everything and answered any questions I had. It was also super easy.

I have been patients of Pleasant Street Dental since Dr. Moshier hung up his sign. Dr Moshier is very understanding about dental anxiety and whenever I have had a hard go of it, he intuitively knew when to give me breaks during my appointment. His staff is very attentive and knowledgeable. Jill, is a jack-of-all trades. She is absolutely phenomenal. I needed extensive oral surgery that also required coordinating immediate follow up with Dr Moshier and Jill was instrumental in setting up and coordinating the plan of care so there was smooth transition from surgeon’s office in Portland to his office

Great, efficient, quick and gentle care! I only wish they had Nitrous oxide for when doing more extensive work such as cavities, as I have a fear of needles and blood! But Overall I would highly recommend!

I used to think this dental practice was wonderful - the dentist is nice and the hygienists are great. However, it's only the right dental practice for you if you can predict your schedule seven months in advance (that's how far forward they book appointments). I understand everyone is busy, but this represents unacceptable delays in care. I will be looking for a new dentist.

My first meeting for a consultation for crowns/ implants that I had lost was great!
All of the staff and Doctor were friendly, professional and truly exceptional.
Having to find a new dentist and dental office once my previous dentist was no longer available has been a “ task” for sure! But it seems I have been lucky to finally have found a new “ dental team”.
Thanks all for making it so easy 😊

Annual visit to the Dentist is not my favorite thing. But my experience this time was painless (literally).
Ashley did a great job putting me at ease AND doing the actual cleaning. Almost looking forward to next year’s visit!

I just switched to this office about 6 months ago. I have been to the office three times (2 cleanings and 1 appt to fix some old dental work). Every time I have been in this office I have enjoyed the helpful and kind staff. Everyone is very friendly and eases any fears or anxiety. They are focused on your treatment and care, not on selling you the latest gadget or procedure (my previous dentist experience was constant deflecting of sales people). The care team is wonderful at Pleasant Street Dental, as is Dr. Moshier.
