- Michelle Rose, 5 out of 5 stars, a month ago: I arrived and was greeted, checked in and then quickly taken back from my appointment right on time. Even though they had some staffing issues, they were in communication and the service was excellent, as it always is. I have been using this dentist for over 20 years and have always been pleased.
- Ashley Ehmann, 5 out of 5 stars, 5 months ago: I've been going to portage dental center for quite a few years now. I've always had good experiences here. When I started coming, I hadn't been to the dentist in a long time. I didn't get any judgement or lectures, just a game plan for what needed done. They always make sure I'm comfortable and explain anything that needs done. It can be hard to get an appointment, they schedule pretty far out in advance but that's true with most dentists now. I've found them to be pretty affordable. I was able to get some fillings for much less than I had been quoted at another practice.
- Bonnie McCartney, 5 out of 5 stars, 2 months ago: My first appointment was pretty great. They shared with me what my portion what I will have to pay out of pocket right up front. No surprises! The dentist was great too. Had a partial tooth pulled. That went well. I give them a 5 star rating. The dental assistant was exceptionally kind and explained things in advance of the extraction. Thanks to everyone. I found my new Dental office!

Our own dental labs
Your crown comes from our own labs
Made here, adjusted here.
The Cleveland Dental Management family runs its own dental labs: crowns and bridges are built in Ravenna, and dentures and partials in Akron, by technicians who work only with our dentists. That means a better fit and faster turnarounds, made between your visits.
Made by our own technicians
Skilled hands who work only with our dentists, so your restoration is built to match your bite and your smile.
Faster turnarounds
No waiting on an outside lab means fewer trips back and forth and a quicker finish.
Fixed close to home
If something ever needs an adjustment, it is handled by our own labs, not put in the mail.
Step 1
Scan
We capture your tooth in detail, so the fit is right from the start.
Step 2
Craft
Our own technicians shape and finish your restoration by hand.
Step 3
Fit
You return for a fit that is checked and adjusted, right here.
What waiting costs you
Small things stay small when they are seen early.
- A cleaning every six months keeps small problems small.
- Gums that are not healthy get seen every three or four months until they are.
- A root canal ends the pain and saves the tooth instead of pulling it.
- Cost should never be the reason care waits. Payment plans are there when you need them.
Your first visit is one call away.

What patients ask us
We take nearly all types of insurance including Medicaid.
You can definitely be seen with same day emergency care and walks-ins are welcome.
We are a FAMILY dental practice that treats patients of ALL ages. We do silver fillings, white fillings, crowns, dentures, partials, repair dentures, root canals, extractions, wisdom teeth removal, implants, teeth whitening, mouth guards, children’s dentistry, senior citizen dentistry.
The brand of the toothbrush is not as critical as the type of bristle and the size of the head. A soft toothbrush with a small head is recommended because medium and hard brushes tend to cause irritation and contribute to recession of the gums, and a small head allows you to get around each tooth more completely and is less likely to injure your gums. It’s unnecessary to “scrub” the teeth as long as you are brushing at least twice a day and visiting your dentist at least twice a year for cleanings.
