Cleanings & gum care
Routine hygiene visits and deep cleanings, with a gentle approach to periodontal health for adults and children alike.
Learn moreOne Vancouver office. Six dentists — including a board-certified prosthodontist, periodontist, and endodontist — alongside the same hygienists and front-desk faces our community has trusted since 1972 for cleanings, crowns, implants, and the easy stuff in between.

“We've watched three generations of some families grow up in this chair.”
From the first cleaning to a full-arch implant, almost everything we do happens under one roof — placed by our own dentists, on our own schedule. Less hand-off, fewer referrals out, and a team that knows your story without re-reading the chart.

Dr. Roger J. Wendel opened the practice on NE 40th Street in Vancouver after earning his degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 1969. Five and a half decades later, he still walks the halls of the same office — now joined by a team of six dentists and five hygienists.
The roster covers everything most patients ever need under one roof: general dentistry, a board-certified prosthodontist, a periodontist and implant specialist, and an endodontics resident. Most of our hygienists have been with us for more than a decade — Shelley since 1988, Nancy since 1998 — and that continuity is the quiet thing that makes a dental visit feel less like an appointment and more like catching up with someone who already knows you.

Six dentists — including a board-certified prosthodontist, a periodontist, and an endodontist — alongside five hygienists. Several have been on the team for more than two decades.

Three generations of dental practice gives us a soft touch with first visits — and the in-network experience to make a child's cleaning straightforward instead of stressful for the family calendar or the family budget.
After twelve years, I drive forty minutes past three other dentists to come to this office. That should tell you everything.

Real reviews from neighbors across Clark County, gathered at our NE 40th Street office.
“I've been coming here for almost twenty years. They remember my kids' names. That's not a small thing.”
“First implant of my life and they walked me through every step. No surprise bills, no rushed visits.”
“My daughter actually asks when her next cleaning is. I don't know what magic they pulled off.”
Our home on NE 40th Street has been the same since Dr. Wendel opened the practice. Easy parking, on the bus line, and a five- minute drive from I-205.
