Going to the dentist can be an intimidating experience for many patients. Here at Ponderosa Dental Arts in Oregon City, we totally understand that! We also know that information is empowering, so we thought you might want to get to know us a bit in our initial blog post. Continue reading to discover what makes us a standout practice.

Our Dentists

Dr. Eric Berkner founded Ponderosa Dental Arts in 2013. He is enthusiastic about continuing education, which has enabled him to offer specialty services, including dental implants and Invisalign clear aligners. His philosophy on dentistry is simple: to treat other people the way he wants to be treated.

Dr. Berkner works alongside Drs. Christopher Kooning and Brian Phan. Dr. Kooning has nearly 20 years of experience and has worked in a variety of dental settings. Dr. Phan has a background in public health and seeks to bring improved wellness to our community.

Our Services

We are a general dental practice that offers all the services you need to maintain or improve your oral health, including preventive maintenance, restorative care, and even cosmetic services to give your smile a bit of extra shine. We are even able to offer start-to-finish dental implant care, so there is no need for you to visit an outside specialist for high-quality tooth replacement.

Many of our treatments are supported by advanced technology. For example, we have a CBCT scanner to take detailed images that help in diagnosis and treatment planning. We also use digital impressions to make sure your restorations and Invisalign aligners fit as precisely as possible. An intraoral camera helps us see all the nooks and crannies in your mouth, and it gives you insight into your own oral health.

Why Our Patients Love Us

Ponderosa Dental Arts has more than 400 5-star reviews on Google. We are so proud of that fact, and we are committed to continuing in our reputation for excellence. Patients particularly love the caring, comfortable atmosphere we provide. Even people with severe dental anxiety find that we make their treatment experience far easier than they anticipated.

We strive for honesty and integrity in all things. We greatly respect our patients, including their financial concerns. That is why we are happy to file dental insurance claims, and we accept financing through CareCredit. Our in-house savings plan provides all preventive care and a 15% discount on additional services — all in exchange for a reasonable annual fee.
