Kids & Family Dentist for Tualatin, OR Families
Tualatin parents make the trip to Bien Dental to keep kids, teens and adults under one roof. Here is how to plan a smooth visit.
One dental home for every age in a Tualatin household
If you live in Tualatin, you already know how much of life happens along the OR-217 and I-5 corridors. A trip to Beaverton is a real outing, and we respect that. So we try to make it count: one visit can cover a child’s cleaning, a sibling’s checkup and a parent’s exam.
Instead of managing three appointments in three places, you plan a single morning or afternoon. Ask us how to arrange it.
Where Tualatin families tend to start
Teens and orthodontic questions
As kids reach their pre-teen years, parents often want to know whether braces are on the horizon. We offer early orthodontic screening so you understand timing early, and we work with teens through teen dentistry.
School and club sports
Kids who play in school or club leagues benefit from a well-fitted mouthguard and quick advice about chipped teeth.
Mouthguards and sports →New permanent molars
Sealants on new permanent molars are one of the most useful preventive tools we have, and timing matters.
About sealants →Parents on the same schedule
Dr. Gvozden welcomes adults for exams, cleanings, and restorative dentistry.

Our office is at 18355 SW Alexander St, Beaverton, OR 97006, near SW 185th Ave and Tualatin Valley Highway (OR-8). From Tualatin, families commonly work their way north through OR-217 toward the Beaverton area. We do not list a drive time because it varies with rush hours, school schedules and weather, and we would rather you check a live map than trust a number we cannot promise.
Tigard-Tualatin School District families
Children across Tualatin attend schools in the Tigard-Tualatin School District, and school calendars shape family dental visits more than most people realize. Half days, teacher workdays and breaks can be good windows for a checkup. If you tell us which dates you have free, we will do our best to offer options that fit.
Neighbors just to the north in Tigard use similar routes, and families to the south in Sherwood sometimes travel together for appointments.
What a first visit looks like
- Welcome. We greet you and your child, and go over health history together.
- A gentle look. Dr. Hsu examines teeth, gums and bite at a pace your child can handle. For little ones, a parent’s lap can work.
- Cleaning and prevention. As appropriate, we clean teeth and talk about fluoride, sealants and home care.
- A plan you understand. You will know what we saw, what to watch and when to return.

Keeping the drive worthwhile
A longer trip should come with real value, so we try to make each appointment count. That means unhurried time with Dr. Hsu, a clear explanation of anything we find, and a written or spoken plan for what comes next. We aim to explain what we found and what comes next.
For adults, Dr. Jovan Gvozden brings a calm, methodical approach and decades of experience, including training in oral surgery earlier in his career. His scope covers restorative dentistry, extractions and implant placement within general dentistry. Whether you come in for a checkup or to discuss a specific concern, you will get time to ask questions.
Tualatin is also home to many families with teens, and older kids often appreciate being spoken to directly. Dr. Hsu talks with teenagers as capable partners in their own care, explaining why a habit matters instead of lecturing.
Not sure whether to make the trip? Call (503) 822-0096. We are glad to answer questions by phone before you commit.
Questions to ask any new dentist
Whichever office you choose, a few questions are worth asking. How do you handle a child who is scared? What is your approach to preventing cavities before they start? What happens if my child has an emergency? We are happy to answer all three for you, and to explain how our pediatric dentistry approach works in practice. Families do best when they feel they can ask anything.
