Welcome to Independence Dental

At Independence Dental, my caring staff and I strive to provide you with high quality dental services. Our friendly staff work to make your visit as comfortable as possible. If desired we have nitrous oxide gas or relaxing pills available for use during your visit. We provide most dental services right here in our office including cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening, bonding and esthetic veneers. We have been serving the community in this same location since 1985.

We are excited to have added a new piece of equipment called the Wand to our practice. It is a computer driven device that makes the anesthetic process more comfortable. Ask us about it at your next appointment.

We schedule evening appointments each week. When you call, our staff can schedule your appointments and answer insurance questions you may have. Call (503) 838-1633 to setup an appointment.

We look forward to serving you.

Dr Winokur at Independence Dental is amazing! He just celebrated 40 years in business and is one of only 3000 dentists in Oregon who are approved for use of Nitrous Oxide gas.

Dr Winokur is virtually painless even for surgery. Incredibly kind and skilled. Entire staff of wonderful people. If you’re procrastinating, stop and call them.

Dr. Winkour is a wonderful dentist and his office staff is really great, too. It might sound weird to speak so glowingly about a dentist. After all, who likes going to the dentist? That was part of the problem, actually. I had moved, and hadn’t been to the dentist since before the pandemic. Dr. Winkour was kind and nonjudgmental. He assessed the health of my teeth and gums, explained what needed to be done, and helped me make a multi-appointment plan to tackle it bit by bit until it was all better. On the days I got the work done, he always told me what he was going to do before he did it so there were no surprises. He always made sure I was in no pain. Now I feel confident about my dental situation, and all I have to do is get my teeth cleaned twice a year. It wasn’t super cheap but it wasn’t unaffordable either. Definitely check out Independence Dental!

I’ve been a long time patient at Independence Dental and I must say this journey with them has been by far, the best! Considering I am extra, super, duper sensitive and nervous wreck when coming to dental work from past experiences. Besides the general dental care I’ve received there, I just very recently had four of my front teeth replaced with porcelain ones. I love the new look, it helps me feel more confident and looks great! So thank you Dr. Winokur, Loretta, Lori, Tammy and Allison for your understanding, compassion and how comfortable you always make me feel! I’d say that’s a lot coming from myself..lol Yours Truly, Cecilia Adams

This dentist office is wonderful. The staff is caring and kind. Dr. Winokur answers all questions you may have and makes sure you understand everything. Which is appreciated. They make sure you are comfortable which is also appreciated. Recommend for anyone who needs a new dentist or just wants a dentist who makes you feel comfortable and is nice to their patients.

Everyone I've interacted with here is personable, helpful, and thoughtful. They emphasize comfort more than any other dentist I've been to. They genuinely want you to feel happy and safe. Dr. Winokur is one of the sweetest people I've met. He is experienced, keeps up on the latest best practices, and communicates personably with his employees. I highly recommend this dentist, especially for anyone nervous about going to the dentist.

Dr. Winokur is absolutely the best dentist I’ve ever gone to! He is attentive to my dental needs and concerns. He listens to me and makes sure I understand everything about the procedure I am about to go through. He has an amazing sense of humor that puts me at ease. He’s meticulous in his work so I know I’m in good hands.
