OUR STORY

Where artistry and science converge

Lacquer Dental was founded by Dr. Aylin Paredes to be a Portland practice where artistry and science meet, and where the dentist who plans your smile is a general dentist who also restores it.

Dr. Paredes built the practice around the details that make dental work look like your own teeth: shade, translucency and proportion.

What began as a small cosmetic practice is now four general dentists working side by side, and the philosophy has not changed. Every treatment is approached with a craftsperson's care, and every plan is explained in plain words first.

We use digital smile design, guided implant planning and imaging because they let us show you the plan before we begin. They don't change the facts that results vary and that we go over the risks and your other options first.

  • Care is provided by general dentists

  • Focus on cosmetic and restorative dentistry

  • Implants planned with imaging and restored in our office

  • Digital smile design to preview a plan

WHAT GUIDES US

Our guiding principles

These values inform every decision we make — from the materials we choose to the way we communicate with you.

  • A treatment room with red dental chairs beside floor-to-ceiling city windows

    Invisible Excellence

    We aim for dental work that looks like your own teeth, so shade, shape and proportion get as much of our time as the repair itself.

  • A dentist in scrubs shows a young man a panoramic X-ray on a monitor

    Radical Transparency

    We show you what we see, explain every option, and give you a written estimate before treatment, so the decision is yours and nothing comes as a surprise.

  • A dental assistant in blue gloves shows a smiling woman something on a tablet

    Relationship Over Transaction

    We don't have patients — we have relationships. We get to know you and your family, and we plan care around both.
