Wellness Centered Dentistry is committed to helping our patients achieve optimal dental health for a lifetime. This goal requires a different approach to dental care, one that involves treating people as individuals and spending the time necessary to understand each person's priorities and unique dental challenges.
Dental wellness is a state of optimal dental health. In order to achieve this state we need to understand your current dental problems and carefully evaluate your risk factors for dental disease. This process involves a thorough examination, collection of diagnostic records and images, and evaluation of information relating to your dental history.
Cosmetic Dentistry is the process of making you feel great about your smile. We call cosmetics the psychological aspect of dental health because it directly affects personal confidence and self esteem. If you feel good about the way you look you are significantly more effective in interpersonal and social interactions.
Teeth Whitening / Bleaching: Teeth whitening or bleaching is the process by which your natural tooth structure is made whiter or lighter. A take home teeth whitening kit which utilizes a lower concentration peroxide agent to whiten at home over a couple of weeks. In office teeth whitening which utilizes a much stronger solution in the dental office and accomplishes the process in just over an hour.
Missing teeth have a detrimental impact not only on chewing function but the health of the rest of the mouth. The teeth next to a missing tooth tend to shift toward the space causing bite problems and oral hygiene challenges increasing the risk of additional dental damage. Replacing missing teeth prevents these potential problems and helps to maintain the health and function of your mouth.

What a fantastic dentist. After researching all the options in Eugene, OR I chose this one because of his desire to use the best materials for any dental work.

Think of him as an organic, vs. a conventional farmer. Instead of offering you the super cheap pesticide chemical-ridden tomato, he has gone out of his way to find the best quality organic tomato from an organic farm stand that tastes delicious and is actually good for you.

There is a cost difference, but you are getting a different service. This one will support your health and immune system. And (as a recent transplant from Los Angeles

The dentist including other members of the staff made sure I was comfortable on every level. They were very friendly. They were efficient but I did not feel rushed in any way. My questions were answered patiently and in layman’s terms. Overall a good experience.

Best experience ever at a dentist. It is worth the hour drive for me. I appreciate the holistic approach that addresses all my health issues. I had recently found out that I am slow to numb, hence the years of dentist trauma. The professionals in this office believed me and listened to my concerns. What a relief to find such a compassionate, competent, and caring team.

Dr. Rob Whicker is by far the most skilled, gentle, communicative and caring dentist I've ever known. He and his assistant work together as a harmonious, integrated team. The rest of his staff that I've encountered are friendly, helpful and good at what they do. I've learned much from them all about the health of my teeth and feel inspired to take better care of them. Thank you, Dr. Whicker and staff!

Every time I visit this office I feel at home and comfortable. My last cleaning with Mindy was especially enjoyable. Mindy not only does great work, she makes certain I am at ease. I recommend this fine dentist office to everyone.

I hate going to the dentist. For many years I’ve feared and hated the deed.
Thanks to the good people who baby me and take the time and effort to not only make me feel at ease but provide me with actual results that improve my quality of life.

I went in for a normal cleaning. Christy accomplished this efficiently and comfortably. In addition to getting my teeth very clean, she provided very good, specific information to assist me in my at-home maintenance. The information was specific to my circumstances -- not generic -- and I appreciate that. Highly recommended!

My first experience with this dental practice was a free consultation with Dr Whicker regarding a tooth with an old root canal.. Dr. Whicker was kind, listened well, and came to the consultation well prepared. He didn't rush me and took time to review my X-rays before he came to the consultation. He also gave me multiple treatment options and didn't seem bothered by my questions. I've had many other dental experiences where the dentist spent much less time with me, yet I was not charged for the consultation. A few weeks after the consultation, I had a separate cleaning and exam which were also

If you can afford it or are lucky enough to have really good dental insurance, this is hands-down the best dental experience available. The personal attention is comforting beyond words. The staff provides an unparalleled quality of professional services AND they care about the overall patient experience. Who hands out a fresh flower post-procedure? It seemed a little odd, but I totally dug it. So friendly, so kind. Dr. Whicker called me at home the evening of a large procedure to check-in and see how things were going. I was doing fine, but there was no doubt in my mind if things were not going

Hands-Down best experience I've ever had at a dentist's office. Everyone working there is so exceptionally kind. I've always felt super anxious about dentist appointments, but they walked me through everything so that I felt very comfortable. They gave me a blanket, a hot towel after the procedure and a fresh flower on my way out! Such great people and atmosphere, I definitely recommend them!

I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Whicker. Both he and their wonderful hygienist, Julie are so gentle. I've had some serious treatments there, the kind you would expect to guarantee pain for days, but I hardly experienced any. I could go on and on, but fear I'll sound like a paid advertisement. These folks don't need to pay people to say good things. They are fantastic and I highly recommend.
