Open Tuesday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Looking for a dentist near Eugene, OR? We will be straight with you. The office is not in Eugene. It is across I-5 in Springfield, on Centennial Boulevard, and for a lot of Eugene it is a shorter drive than crossing your own town.
Eugene and Springfield act like two cities because a freeway and a river run between them. On a map they are one place. The Whiteaker is about seven miles from Springfield's Main Street. Sacred Heart at RiverBend has a Springfield address and sits on Eugene's northeast edge.
So the real question is not which side of I-5 your dentist is on. It is how long the trip takes and what you get when you arrive.
Eugene is not one place either. A grad student in West University and a family in Cal Young are solving completely different problems, and their teeth show it.
Bounded by I-5, the Willamette, and the Beltline, next to Oakway Center and Valley River. This corner of Eugene is genuinely closer to our chair than most of Springfield is. Families here make up a good chunk of our schedule.
Blair Boulevard, the breweries, Sam Bond's, the Sunday market. The Whit runs on small businesses and odd hours, and a lot of our patients from here are self employed, which usually means no dental plan and a long gap since the last cleaning.
Campus, Hayward Field, the restaurants along 13th. Students and staff who need a real dentist rather than a student clinic, and who like that we are the same person every visit for four years running.
Older bungalows, walkable streets, longtime residents. These are people who have had the same fillings since the nineties and are starting to find out what that means.
North Eugene, half city and half country, close to the airport. The Beltline makes this an easy run east to us and skips the middle of town entirely.
Growing fast, plenty of young families, and a long way from most of Eugene's established dental offices anyway. If you are already driving twenty minutes, the direction stops mattering.
The drive only pays off if you are not sent somewhere else halfway through. You will not be. Every service below is done at the Centennial Boulevard office by Dr. Matthew Collins, including the implant work most general practices refer out.
Exams, cleanings, x-rays, and preventive care for the whole household. Book the family back to back and make one crossing instead of four.
Single tooth implants, implant crowns, and full arch work planned and placed here. Dr. Collins completed the AAID MaxiCourse in implant dentistry.
Veneers, bonding, contouring, and smile makeovers, planned around your face rather than a catalog page.
Fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures. The work that gets an old repair back to doing its job properly.
Toothaches, broken teeth, same-day appointments. Call before you get in the car and we will tell you what the day looks like.
First visits, sealants, fluoride, and cleanings paced for small kids who would rather be anywhere else.
Professional whitening with an honest read on what your teeth will actually do, which the strips will never give you.
The full list if you want to see every silo and every treatment in one place before you book.
An exam, x-rays, and a real conversation about what you want your teeth doing in ten years. No sales pitch, no surprise treatment plan handed over at checkout. If something costs money, you hear the number before we pick up an instrument.
Forms and insurance details are on the patient resources page, which is worth five minutes before you make the drive. If you want to see how the rest of the valley connects, the service areas page has every town, and our Springfield page covers the neighborhood the office actually sits in.
We are at 1717 Centennial Blvd, Suite #3 in Springfield, across I-5. From the Ferry Street Bridge or Oakway it is a short hop. From campus or the Whiteaker it is a little further. For most of Eugene it is a shorter trip than driving from Santa Clara down to Spencer Butte.
Because you get one dentist instead of whoever is on rotation, and because parking is easy and free. Plenty of Eugene patients tell us the drive across the freeway takes less time than finding a spot near campus did at their old office.
For a cleaning or a quick check, usually yes. Take the Ferry Street Bridge to I-5 north and get off at Springfield. Ask the front desk for a late morning slot and we will build the drive into the timing.
We work with most major plans and payment plans are available. Insurance is worth a call before your first visit at any office, ours included, so ring 541-287-7874 and we will check your specific plan.
Yes, on site, free, and you will not circle the block for it. This comes up more than you would think from patients used to the University area.
Tell us where in Eugene you are starting from and what you need. We will find a time that beats the traffic.
