- General Info
- Our Mission: To provide the highest level of dental treatment to children, while emphasizing preventative care through oral hygiene and diet counseling and also to entertain and inspire them through the practice's unique travel theme and change their perception of a dental visit. Michelle D. Stafford, D.D.S. is an accredited pediatric dentist. This means that she completed an additional two years of training after dental school in an accredited pediatric residency program to become a pediatric dental specialist. She chose this specialty because she believes that every child deserves to have a positive experience going to the dentist. Dr. Stafford attended University of the Pacific in Stockton, California for her undergraduate studies. In 2001, she graduated from the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry with her doctorate in dental surgery. After practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area for five years, she moved to Michigan to attend the Children's Hospital of Michigan Pediatric Dental Residency Program. In July 2008, Dr. Stafford fulfilled her dream of opening her own pediatric dental practice in Portland, Oregon, where she can help children establish healthy habits that will last a lifetime. Our highly trained team strives to make each child's dental experience a positive one. We aim to turn a routine visit to the dentist into a fun trip to a new place by making every child feel special and welcome.

World of Smiles doesn't want you to read this review.
On August 28, 2012, My 5yr old boy was denied his check up because I refused X-Rays. He has no teeth issues, they are wide spaced and healthy- this was to be a simple routine check up, he's only 5. My son has had enough x-rays from a broken elbow and a smashed finger, but that didn't matter to dentist at World of Smiles--She refused to check his teeth and told us we had to find another dentist.
--When doctors are prescribing fluoride, antibiotics and radiation - it's no wonder our children are sick -- Question Authority.

Dr. Michelle Stafford and her staff made Our Lil boy Feel So Safe Coming to the Dentist. The waiting Room Was Filled With Animals. Lots and Lots of Toys. And What Was Really Neat was How She had Pictures All Over The Office Of All the Places she has Gone Around The World to Help Kids Get there Teeth Fixed, The Rooms Were Filled With Stuffed animals and a Big Bean Bag To Sit On:} I Love Taking My son Here.

Provided by DexKnowsOur patients often have questions while navigating through their insurance policies and understanding their benefits. We have found that one of the most common questions regards “UCR Fees”. Be aware that each insurance company sets their own Usual and Customary Fee Schedule, and many times it is based on “average” dental fees in that insurance company’s geographic location. For example, one plan may state that a cleaning is worth $40 and another may give $70 as their preferred payment amount or “UCR”. As a benefit of visiting a preferred provider, the dental office is required to write-off the difference between the dental office fee and the contracted fee (or UCR) with that insurance company. Remember that your insurance plan is a contract between your employer and what they choose to pay for – and does not always reflect the dentist’s training and quality of their work. As a specialty practice that strives to remain on the cutting edge of technology and provide quality mercury-free a

We are very pleased with Dr Stafford and her staff. Our 6yr old autistic son had alot of issues (dental and otherwise) and Dr Stafford took care of everything with great results. Our 4yr old son is extremely shy and during his last visit, he actually sat in the chair on his own (to my great surprise), which Dr Stafford really encouraged and supported. Things run smoothly in this office, and the place is so inviting for especially children. My boys are now quite comfortable about going to the dentist. I've already referred WOS to several other families, especially to those with autistic children also.

Provided by DexKnowsI first saw world of smiles on KATU News. Kids Absolutely love being there.. you can check them out on their website www.visitworldofsmiles.com/tour That link should direct you to a subpage that shows some videos of the work they do. In the first video they actually have the child watching a cartoon from a tv that is placed on the ceiling as the dentist is working on their teeth.....

Dr. Stafford and her staff really know how to make children feel comfortable. My kids just loved the baby turtles and of course all of the prizes after their cleaning and exam. I could not believe how well my boys did for their very first visit. The staff really knows how to explain things to children. Now I just wish I could go there too!
