Melody White
I moved to Portland recently and needed to find a new dental practice and pretty fast. I had a concern about some of my teeth and South Waterfront Dental was able to get me an appointment the next week!

Dr. Beck is very welcoming and makes you feel super comfortable.
He is also very knowledgeable. One of hygienist there (forgot to ask her name), she’s blonde, is
the most friendly person ever. She made my experience fantastic and efficient! I will be
recommending this practice to those looking for a new dentist in the Portland area for sure.

Chris and Tina did a great job with my X-rays, exam, and cleaning and made me feel comfortable and welcome. Dr. Beck was also very kind and outlined my options for treatment clearly. I look forward to future appointments and cleanings at this office, which hasn’t always been my experience with other dentists in the past.

I have been going to Dr Beck for around 10 years now. I trust him and his staff as they have always treated me right and taken superb care of my dental needs! I can't give them enough praise!
Molly Frechette
My first time at S. Waterfront was the week they reopened after Covid shutdowns and I was so impressed with everyone I came into contact with. Their procedures to keep everyone safe and sterile were comprehensive and made me feel at ease.

Dr. Beck was friendly, compassionate and thorough in his examination. I especially enjoyed working with Allison, my dental hygienist. She walked me through every step of my cleaning and xrays (which were complex since I have not been to the dentist in almost 3 years), making sure I was comfortable and understood what she was doing and even why she was doing it. She was so knowledgeable and attentive. A huge thanks to all the staff here for giving such an incomparable first impression.

Great cleaning service: I’ve had two hygenists, I consider them to be highly professional and skilled in the art. Great results: Happy with the outcomes of the dental work. Keep doing what you’re doing, SW Dental- it’s working.
Faryar Etesami
Dr. Beck is an experienced competent dentist that cares for your well being. The office staff is wonderful and caring as well. I have been through at least a dozen dental offices and doctors in the past and I find Dr. Beck's to be by far the best both in terms of dental practice and care and concern for my health.
