Dr. Branen has a true passion for dentistry and has developed close relationships with both his patients and the team at Lake Grove Dental. He shares his love of dentistry with his wife, who is a skilled dental hygienist. They met while attending Spokane Community College. In 1989, Dr. Branen and his wife, Ruthanne, moved to Oregon, where she attended the OHSU School of Dentistry in Hygiene.
You'll find quality family, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry at our Lake Oswego office. Research has shown that oral health is a direct gateway to your body's systemic health. Therefore, our dedicated team practices comprehensive dentistry, which involves looking at the big picture and not just your dental health.
Our team has worked side-by-side for decades and is truly invested in improving your well-being. Each team member adds something unique to our practice and the family-friendly atmosphere enjoyed by our patients. Meet the team behind our wonderful office culture! I don't recall what triggered my fascination with teeth, but it began at age five!
At Lake Grove Dental, we believe in helping you achieve long-lasting health with proper oral health. We aim to solve your smile's underlying issues rather than just patch you up and focus on the short-term. Our expertise allows us to provide you with the top-level dental care you need and deserve.
We believe in a preventive and whole-body approach to your family's dental health. Keeping you and your family's smiles healthy is more than a job to us, it is our passion. We know a healthier smile translates into a healthier version of you and of your loved ones. Dr. Charles L. Branen uses his knowledge and training to show you how your oral health is connected to your body's wellness.

Dr. Branen and his team are seriously the best you could ask for with a dental team. Everyone is incredibly friendly but usually I visit Sheena for my cleanings, she knows I’m no fan of dentists but she takes on the sarcasm and sass like a champ and I’m always in and out quickly. And I would be remiss if I failed to mention Janice, she’s literally the sweetest human in the world!! Anyone looking for a dentist should look no further!

Extremely professional and very dependable. Also very cheerful and very helpful in explaining things (e.g., how to hold a toothbrush to attack specific teeth areas — not every tooth is benefitted by a toothbrush which is 90 degrees to the tooth).
Sheena was terrific as usual and the time went by quickly. Dr. Brannon also came in and checked on how I was doing. (Yesterday was my cleaning visit and in six months I’ll have a cleaning along with a closer look at how I’m doing.)
I could not imagine more thorough dental treatment unless I was visiting the dentist every day.

Dr. Branen and his entire staff are consummate professionals, as well as being very friendly, caring, and courteous, while making you feel welcome and secure. They ensure that you know what the upcoming treatment will be by thoroughly explaining the issues and their process before even starting work. They have state of the art dental equipment that not only reduces the amount of time you have to spend with your procedure, but also makes their diagnoses extremely accurate, and substantially increases your comfort level while they’re working on you. They are my favorite dental clinic EVER.

I have been a patient of Lake Grove Dental for 3 years, after having been referred by another family member. Everyone (including the front office staff) is courteous and professional. The facility is clean, modern and quiet (relaxing environment- - - comes in handy if you’re one of those uncertain about dental procedures). Since the pandemic, I rarely venture out to public places, however I feel safe in this office as there is a strict protocol in place to ensure patients remain healthy. Dr. Branen is committed to his patients and will provide the best solutions under each individual circumstance
