Dr. Steve Christensen, DMD

Dr. Steve Christensen brings more than just expertise to pediatric dentistry—he brings the perspective of a dad. As a father of five, he’s navigated every stage of childhood, from teething to braces, and knows firsthand how to connect with kids and reassure parents.

With over 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Steve has built a reputation for creating positive, confidence-building dental visits for children of all ages. He completed his Pediatric Dental Residency at The Children’s Hospital in Denver, Colorado, where he served as Chief Resident. His passion and dedication have been recognized with awards from both the Oregon Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Association of Orthodontics.

Alongside his wife, Dr. Stephanie Christensen, he has also achieved Diplomate status from the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry—the highest credential in the field.

Whether it’s a first visit or a return check-up, Dr. Steve’s warm, engaging style helps children feel at ease while empowering parents with clear, compassionate communication.

Because when your child’s smile is in his care, you’re getting more than a pediatric specialist—you’re getting a partner who truly understands what parenting is all about.
