Pediatric Dentist in Beaverton, OR: Kids & Family Care
A gentle kids dentist in Beaverton with family dentistry for parents, close to THPRD parks, neighborhood schools and TV Highway.
A pediatric dentist for the way Beaverton kids spend their days
Beaverton is a city of routines: school drop-off, swim lessons, practice on a neighborhood field, a stop at the farmers market on the weekend. Good dental care should slide into that rhythm rather than compete with it.
That is how we think about pediatric dentistry here. Regular checkups and cleanings are short, predictable and paced for children. Dr. Hsu explains each step in kid-friendly words, and you are welcome to stay with your child throughout.
Made for active Beaverton families
Youth sports and parks
Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD) fields, courts and pools keep many local kids busy. If your child plays contact or ball sports, ask about a properly fitted mouthguard.
Mouthguards and sports dentistry →School-day snacks
Lunchboxes and after-school snacks shape cavity risk more than most parents expect. We talk through practical swaps that a real child will actually eat.
Kids’ cleanings and checkups →Growing teeth, growing kids
Molars and sealants, loose teeth and braces questions all arrive on a schedule. We help you know what is coming next.
Dental sealants →Beaverton neighborhoods and how families reach us
Beaverton is a large city, and “central” means different things from Murray Hill, the Nike area, Cedar Hills or the streets near Beaverton Creek. Our office is on the Aloha side, near SW 185th Ave and Tualatin Valley Highway (OR-8). Many Beaverton families are a short drive away on TV Highway or the roads that connect to it.
If you live closer to the TriMet MAX Blue Line or work near a large employer campus, such as Nike World Headquarters, a before-work or after-school visit may be easy to fit in. We do not state drive times, since traffic changes, but a quick map check will show you the day-of route.
One office, every age: a Beaverton parent can book a child’s checkup with Dr. Hsu and their own exam with Dr. Gvozden in the same trip.
Care for the whole household
Many Beaverton households have a mix of ages, and it helps to keep the entire family in one place. Dr. Jovan Gvozden brings more than 40 years of clinical experience to general dentistry, including adult exams and cleanings, fillings, crowns and extractions. He is known for a calm, gentle and methodical style, which many adults with dental worries appreciate.
Common reasons Beaverton parents call us
- A first visit for a baby with a first tooth
- A new pediatric dentist after moving to the area
- Finding a dentist for both a toddler and a teen
- A sudden toothache or a chipped tooth
- A family checkup schedule that works with school hours
Beaverton School District families
Many children in Beaverton attend Beaverton School District schools. If your child needs a note or a form for school, or an appointment outside the usual after-school crush, tell us when you call and we will do our best to help. For younger children, our first dental visit page is a good place to start, and it can be useful to read with your child ahead of time.
You can also read our parent resources for age-by-age guidance on brushing, snacks and habits.
Beaverton days out, and what they mean for teeth
A morning at Tualatin Hills Nature Park, a swim at a THPRD pool, a Saturday wander through the Beaverton Farmers Market, an afternoon around Cedar Hills Crossing: these are ordinary Beaverton outings, and they come with ordinary dental questions. Juice boxes and sports drinks are sipped for a long time, which gives sugar more time on teeth. Water is the easy default on the trail and at the pool.
Small habits carry more weight than a perfect routine. Brushing twice a day with a smear or pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste, depending on age, and cleaning between teeth once they touch, does most of the work. Our team will tailor advice to your child instead of handing you a generic list. For a fuller picture, browse our parent resources or ask at your visit.
If your child is heading into the teen years, our teen dentistry page covers wisdom teeth, sports and the changing mouth.
Questions parents (and adults) often ask
Is Bien Dental convenient from central Beaverton?
Many Beaverton families reach us by TV Highway (OR-8) and the roads that connect to it. Central Beaverton is a short drive from our office in the Aloha–Beaverton area, though timing depends on traffic. A map app will give you a same-day estimate.
Do you accept new pediatric patients from the Beaverton School District?
Yes. We welcome children of all ages, regardless of which Beaverton-area school they attend. Call (503) 822-0096 to ask about appointment times around school hours.
When should my child see a kids dentist in Beaverton for the first time?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit when the first tooth appears and no later than the first birthday. Read our infant oral health guide for what to expect.
Can I see a family dentist in Beaverton at the same office as my child?
Yes. Dr. Hsu treats children, and Dr. Gvozden treats adults, so parents can be seen at the same location.
Does my child need a mouthguard for THPRD sports?
Programs vary, so check with your child’s coach. A mouthguard is a smart idea for any activity with a risk of falls, collisions or contact. We can advise on custom options.
How can I check whether my dental insurance works with your office?
We are happy to review your benefits before your visit. Call us or see insurance and financing.
Do you take my insurance if we live in Beaverton?
Yes. We accept almost all dental insurance and the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), whether you live in Beaverton or anywhere else nearby. Send us your plan details and we will check benefits before your visit. See our insurance and payment options page.
