With establishing excellent patient relationships as his primary goal, it’s important to Dr. Gifford that you can access what you need to feel comfortable while you visit. Whether you’d like to watch your favorite tv show or movie, listen to your top music station, take comfort with a warm blanket, or even bring someone along to keep you company – his only concern is that you feel well cared for.

Dedicated to ensuring you love everything about your smile, Dr. Gifford provides a wide variety of beautiful cosmetic enhancements including Dental crowns, veneers, and teeth whitening – and works with only the best labs to ensure the high quality he demands for his patients.

Dr. Gifford has a knack for changing how he provides dentistry – based on each patient’s individual needs – whether he’s working with your youngest child or your oldest parent. He is committed to being a co-partner to help each member of your family achieve a healthy and beautiful smile.

Dr. Gifford loves bowling so much that when he was 14, he took a job in a bowling alley cleaning the lanes manually by hand for an hour every day after school just so he could practice when he was finished with work!  Fast forward to today and Dr. Gifford has bowled over 30,000 games – 15 of them perfect games – and with an average of 215 in his last league outing, it's no wonder people want him on their team.

When he's not bowling, coaching bowling with Special Olympics Oregon athletes, or improving lives with dentistry, Dr. Gifford and his wife Jenny-Anne are enjoying family life with their three young daughters.

Creating meaningful relationships with patients is at the heart of what Dr. Schwab does. She’s also passionate about patient education and presenting treatment plans clearly, concisely, and simply. In doing so, you can feel heard, respected, and truly cared for during every visit. Dr. Schwab’s dream of becoming a dentist began at just seven years old! She was inspired by many incredible mentors, including her father, who is an orthodontist.

She also knows that dental visits can be stressful, especially for patients with anxiety, and helps soothe them with oral or IV sedation. Additionally, Dr. Schwab loves addressing and treating TMJ issues with Botox® treatments so you can experience life without discomfort.

Dr. Schwab is all about creating a welcoming space where your comfort and health come first. She made the exciting return back to Oregon to be closer to the community she once called home and her family and friends.

Dr. Schwab grew up in West Linn and is happy to be back in Oregon after several years in Kentucky. She and her husband Spencer moved home in 2023 to be closer to family and friends, and they’re loving every moment of reconnecting with the Northwest.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Schwab enjoys photography, staying active outdoors, and spending time with the people she loves.

We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and every member of your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.

Nicole came to us with more than 20 years experience working in the dental field in a variety of areas. She managed a dental sedation course for the Oregon Academy of General Dentistry for over a decade, and has known and worked with Dr. Gifford in that capacity since first meeting in 2012. It was an easy decision to join the GFD team when a position opened in the summer of 2019.  Already, she has proven to be a great fit for our team culture and philosophy of practice. We look forward to having her with us for many years to come.
