Every patient deserved to feel heard, understood, and respected. We take the time to listen, identify the root cause of oral health concerns, and develop individualized treatment plans that support your long term health– not just today’s symptoms.

Dr. Hodgert brings decades of advanced experience in implant, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry, with expertise in complex full-mouth rehabilitation and cases others may have considered challenging.
Every treatment is designed to restore lasting function, natural aesthetics and long-term oral health through precision, experience, and evidence-based case.
Complex cases welcome.
Great dentistry is about more than repairing teeth, it’s about protecting your overall health.
Our approach emphasizes prevention, early diagnosis, and understanding how oral health influences the rest of the body. By addressing underlying cases whenever possible, we help patients achieve healthier smiles that support lifelong wellness.

Every treatment we provide is guided by one principle: never compromise on quality. We carefully select proven materials, modern techniques, and evidence based treatment approaches to deliver results that are beautiful, durable, and designed to last.

I came to Oregon in the late 80's. Originally from Trinidad and Tobago I moved to Florida and then Oregon for my Education. Fun fact I received my Bachelor of science in Aviation while working in the dental field. I’ve dedicated my career to dentistry since 1984 and have proudly been part of Masters of Dentistry for nearly 37 years.
I enjoy helping patients achieve healthy and functional dentition that will see them through the lifetime. Dentistry gave me the opportunity to build a rewarding career while being present for my family. I cherish my time with my four children, (and extended family) three grandchildren (so far) and my pets.
I enjoy spending time expressing my creativity through painting and basically anything I can make or build.
