We loved the history and quirkiness of our original space and the patients were fantastic, but the offices most high-tech piece of equipment was an electric typewriter! The buildings diminutive 900 s.f. size could not support the practices continued growth nor accommodate the technology we believed was imperative to providing patients with exceptional care. In 2007, we moved Mint Dental Works to our current location. Wed like to think our new home, which is chock-full of salvaged and vintage materials, in some way pays homage to those purveyors of fine dentistry that paved the way for Mint to serve the community of Portland for nearly 100 years.
You take good care of my teeth. I trust you. I love the work Dr McMillan did on my front teeth to make them look so lovely and yet natural. I believe that is called cosmetic dentistry. I have recommended you no second thoughts on that!! Roberta B., 05/18/17 (Published on RateABiz)
In my most recent visit to Mint, I came in to have three wisdom teeth extracted. After a highly traumatic experience with an extraction a few years ago at a clinic I'll not name here, I was a little concerned about feeling the procedure despite local anesthetics. I've been coming to MDW ever since and can fully put my trust in having a comfortable and humane experience. They gladly put me on gas, and I got to watch a Louis c.k. Stand up special on Netflix, which killed most of the time it took to extract all three teeth. I was laughing so hard and maniacally throughout the experience, I even brought my dental assistant to tears along with me. One could say the whole experience was a gas. Anonymous
I've never liked a dentist practice enough to say much about it before. That was until I started coming to Mint Dental. I really can't express how great they are. The staff is awesome, the place is clean and nice and did I mention they have vibrating chairs and warm neck pillows? They make going to the dentist not so bad. I highly recommend!

If you're afraid of the dentist or just plain don't like going go to Mint. They are all so friendly, professional, helpful, and go out of their way to be of service to you. From massage chairs to neck pillows to being able to watch your favorite show on Netflix while getting a cavity filled they provide it all. Thanks, Mint, for ending my ten year long fear of dentists and making my teeth look and feel better than they ever have. Going to the dentist has never been so enjoyable.

I have had some negative experiences at past dental offices. I was impressed with their friendly staff; clean, modern building, and efforts to understand my past dental experiences and discussion around ways to improve my experience at their office. I would recommend this office to others who have had fear of the dentist. I enjoyed being seen in a clean, healthy building as well. Brooke B,, 04/10/17 (Published on RateABiz)
Braces arent just for children or teens! Many adults seek orthodontic treatment to improve their smiles, boost their self-esteem and to correct their bites. With no wires or brackets, ClearCorrect has been an ideal choice for many of our patients looking to straighten their teeth.
There is nothing that exudes health quite like a bright, white smile. Natural aging , tobacco use, medications, wine, tea and coffee consumption, and/or physical trauma can all cause staining, yellowing and darkened tooth enamel over time. Teeth whitening is one of the easiest and most economical ways to improve this discoloration.
Not everyone is born with a perfect smile. Beautiful teeth can make a huge difference in your appearance and your confidence. If your teeth are discolored, worn down, chipped, broken, misaligned or irregularly shaped, veneers are a great way to create the smile youve always wanted.
I have been going to Mint for years now and have nothing but great things to say! I never feel like I am being taken advantage of (a problem that was recurring in my dental past), everything is thoroughly explained, and everyone is very patient. Hilde and Scarlett are just the best, always kind, fun to joke around with, and very aware that being at the dentist is not a favorite place for most people. Dr. McMillan is also great and I always feel like he is doing the best for me, not the best for his wallet. Prices are very reasonable and even if something seems like it's a little extra, I don't mind paying that at all for the care I receive. I can't recommend Mint enough!

Very friendly staff, immaculately clean office, state of the art equipment, eco-friendly environment, able to handle mercury removal, easy to schedule, never a long wait time, and... Netflix to keep you entertained while they do their thing because you can never watch the same Star Trek movies over and over quite enough. The Dentists, Dental Assistant Anna and Hygienist Kellie are awesome people and dental artisans who make every visit a pleasure. I highly recommend them! Dave M. 02/14/17 (Published on RateABiz)
We designed a green dental office that reflects our commitments to the well-being of our patients, staff, and environment. Mint Dental Works was the first LEED-certified dental practice in the country.
Portland Monthly Magazine has named our very own Dr. Jason McMillan as one of the areas top dentists for the last 5 years. Based on thousands of detailed evaluations of dentists by their peers, this distinction speaks to what good hands our patients are in.
Mint Dental became the first clinic of its kind to receive the U.S. Green Building Councils Leadership for Environmental and Educational Design platinum designation, the highest level in the green-building rating system.
