DR. THOMAS R. OSTERLIND, DDS

“I offer my patients comprehensive care: Treatment that will meet their individual needs and desires, and is focused toward both their immediate concerns and their long-terms goals.”

Dr. Osterlind is a 1971 graduate of University of Pacific Dental School. He completed both a postgraduate hospital based dental internship and a one year anesthesiology residency at Oregon Health Sciences Center. He served on Anesthesia and Sedation Committees for the Oregon Board of Dentistry, American Dental Association, and the Academy of General Dentistry. He holds Fellowships in the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology, the Academy of General Dentistry, the American College of Dentists, and the International College of Dentists. He has served as a Fellowship examiner for the American Dental Society for Anesthesiology, and has chaired the Dental Education Council for the Academy of General Dentistry. Additionally, he has presided over the Oregon Academy of General Dentistry, the Multnomah Dental Society, and the Oregon Chapter of the American College of Dentists. In 1996, he was named Oregon Dentist of the Year.

Dr. Osterlind maintains a practice philosophy based on one of empathy. "How would I feel if I were having this procedure done on me? What information would I like to know about my treatment options, and what would I elect to have or not have done?. I offer my patients comprehensive care: Treatment that will meet their individual needs and desires, and is focused toward both their immediate concerns and their long-terms goals. This requires treatment options that are current in technology with a proven track record of success, and are delivered in a high quality and caring manner".

His practice includes both comprehensive general dentistry and services for phobic, handicapped and special needs patients. He is in charge of sedation and anesthesia services within DDA.

Dr. Osterlind and his wife, JoEllen, are parents of two grown daughters, Sarah and Kirsten, and one very energetic Labrador. His outside interests include skiing, cycling, hiking and travel.
