I’ve been a patient at this dental clinic for several years, and Dr. Kennedy has always been professional, honest, and genuinely caring toward his patients. When I was dealing with a severe toothache and needed urgent advice, he took the time to reach out to me outside of business hours and even tried to get me seen sooner than my original appointment date. I truly appreciated his honesty and integrity. After reviewing my X-rays and performing several exams, he explained that he could not clearly identify the source of the pain and did not feel comfortable recommending a root canal without a confirmed diagnosis. Instead of proceeding with unnecessary treatment, he referred me to an endodontist for further evaluation and specialized care. I’m grateful for his professionalism, transparency, and commitment to doing what is best for his patients.

Best dental office in Portland. They're always up on latest dental practices, are constantly improving the office, and have knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough staff. Couldn't recommend more highly.
Doctor Kennedy is an expert at his craft and very personable. He always explains the procedures in an easy to explain manor. And will walk me through what he suggests and other options if I have hesitancy.
This is my first time with Kennedy Dental and Dr Danger. I get anxious before any visit that will involve. Anesthetics don't last as long either. This procedure involved removing an existing crown, an inlay under the crown and a filling - all in a single tooth. Dr Fanger took the time to check that the tooth was still numb, that I had time-outs to decompress, and explained what he would be doing next. The best experience I've had in 60+ years with seven different dentists.
Marla and the younger doctor (forgot the name sorry - super cool guy) took great care of me. I’m a super anxious dentist goer and they were super kind and accommodating during my filling appointment. I even told Marla I may literally barf and it didn’t phase her. 10/10. Also - I’ve had my cleaning done with another woman there (can’t remember the name because my brain leaves the building when I walk in there) and she was also great and super accommodating.
