This has been a great experience with Dr. Halmos and his staff . I had a major teeth issues that needed attention and I kept delaying it for years . I finally decided to get it done , so I looked around carefully for the best Doctor in town . I did some research and after meeting with Dr. Halmos , I decided to get it done at his office . Now after 6 month , The job is done and I'm very pleased with the results .
He is young with lots of experience and he uses the newest technology available . He also pays attention to details and doesn't take any short cuts . He is also available when you need him , even though he is a very busy man .
I had some pain after the surgery and I emailed him on new years eve , since his office was closed , He responded immediately and ordered a medication for me on new years eve .
I will recommend him to my friends and family .
Thank you Dr. Halmos for great experience and great results .

I had an implant done and a cap. The procedures were practically painless and the finished result is wonderful! However, he is not a preferred provider, so the out-of-pocket expenses are outrageous. I felt like fees kept popping up and the overall cost exceeded the original estimate. The process also took way longer than we anticipated.
About Front Desk: They were annoying. They could be more acknowledgeable about insurance coverage. On a positive note, they were well versed with the dental procedures.

Doctor Halmos and his ENTIRE team were amazing to work with from start to finish. I took a chance and transferred over to him from a previously poor experience with another doctor in Portland, and it was the best decision I have made throughout my whole process with getting dental implants and veneers. I am 25, extremely meticulous about how my teeth look, feel, and hold up against my busy lifestyle, and I am in love with how they turned out. Doctor Halmos has connections with all of the best companies/people that were needed along the way, from private manufacturer's that make the screw parts, to veneer makers. It was a seamless process that I know Doctor Halmos bent over backwards to complete for me, but I didn't feel any of the stress whatsoever. I cannot thank them enough!
About Hygienist: I was always talked to and treated with care, respect, and as a "friend", rather than a "patient". Doctor Halmos' whole team helped me schedule appointments when I moved out of state, took care of me while I was there, and I always felt comfortable and at ease when I was in the office.

I have had a very uncomfortable bite and ugly teeth since my early 20's. Not only do my teeth look beautiful now but my bite is so improved. Dr. Halmos is maticulus and very personable. I was referred to him by my HOM Kaiser because I had a complicated mouth. I had three implants put in the bottom gums to hold on the denture that Dr. Halmos made. I had changed insurance from Willamette Dental to Kaiser and Dr. Halmos finished up that part of my mouth. Then, I lost a bridge on top left and that's when he did the better bite and crowned two implants replacing and ,making my teeth independent of one another in the front. They had previously been one piece to support one another. I could not floss and if one went - they all went. He made me a new woman and I love my mouth finally after 40 years of dental ups and downs.
About Hygienist: I see Kaiser for this.

Dr. Halmos put veneers on both my upper and lower teeth. He was extremely professional and diligent in his work. I thought the outcome was great and while the procedure was expensive, relative to other prosthodontists I consulted with his pricing was very reasonable. I would recommend Dr. Halmos without reservation. His office is very pleasant as is his staff.
About Hygienist: Dr. Halmos' hygienist, Kristi, went above and beyond my expectations in her professional assistance in the procedure.

Procedure: Anterior implant supported bridge (tooth# 7,8,9, & 10) with implants in tooth #7 and 10.
I was referred to Dr. Halmos by my primary care dentist whom I TRUST with all my dental care. He said Dr. Halmos is "sharp" and I completely agree--he does pay attention to detail and that is very important to me specially since work done on me was my four front teeth! So I met with him for consultation. He was very informative and answered all my lenghty questions patiently. He was easy to talk to and had likeable personality. I did see him again for a second time for consultation because at my previous consult, it was decided that I'd be needing bone graft--I was really nervous about this elective procedure. I need more bone for implants to be successfully placed. I felt a lot better after the second consult. I proceeded to undergo bone graft and implants done by the surgeon he works closely with. Finally, my implant supported bridge was constructed by Dr. Halmos. It was a long process but very worth it. The whole time during my treatments, my visits never felt rushed. His office is modern and the front office very friendly and good customer service. They always called me without fail for appointment reminders.
About Hygienist: All in all I would recommend Dr. Halmos and meet with him to get to know him better and see if he's the best fit. I'm glad my doctor search ended with him. I'm a happy patient.

Dr. Halmos did a great job with my dental implant. While he did not do the surgery to install the post, he did design and attach the new tooth onto the post with no pain. The tooth fits wonderfully and I don't notice any difference from my other teeth. He matched the color to my other teeth very well. It's an upper molar that I was sorely missing - having this new tooth has been fantastic and enables me to eat more easily. He is very friendly, likes to chat, and his staff is quite professional. It was a good experience and I highly recommend him. By the way, I drove from Salem to the appointments, but it was worth it!

Dr Halmos and staff are very professional, yet friendly and very personable.
Dr. Halmos did an extensive workup of my case and gave me several options to correct a cross bite and the associated bone loss and periodontal disease. My choices ranged from pulling all teeth and replacing with dentures (least expensive) to some intermediate corrective options to saving as many teeth as possible and correcting my under developed upper jaw which was the root of the problem (most expensive). I chose to save my teeth and correct the root cause of the problems, so spent about 2-1/2 years in the process. This was a major financial decision since I'm retired and have no dental insurance (up front cash discounts were options for all three doctors).
My procedure involved overall planning, coordination and installation of temporary and then permenent bridges (2) and crowns (17) by Dr. Halmos, oral surgeries and implants (by Dr Ueeck) and orthodontics (by Dr. Baker).
If I had the opportunity do make the choice again I would do the same thing. Keeping my teeth was a major (vain?) factor in making my decision and I would choose these 3 very professional Doctor's to plan, manage and carry out my case with Dr. Halmos in the lead role.
About Hygienist: My final follow up is in December, 2010 at which time I'll have a thorough hygienic cleaning and establish a cleaning schedule.

Dr Halmos and staff are extraordinary-extremely qualified, professional, personable, caring, real people. My case was extremely complicated-a squamous carcinoma surgery with loss and replacement of lower left jawbone, partial tongue, and surrounding tissue. The head of maxilofacial (and the previous head who was/is my current prosthodonist) at OHSU said that Dr Halmos was the ONLY prosthodontist in Portland capable of restoring and recreating my dentures, bite, speech, and mastication process to my original pre-surgery state. They were correct, AND Dr Halmos not only did that, but his restoration far,far exceeded my pre-surgery state! My dentures and the restoration he performed feel like MY OWN teeth! My family was amazed at the results, both my mastication and speech improvement AND my physical appearance which took MANY years off my 87 year age. I cannot thank Dr Halmos and his staff enough; he truly is "the best" in Portland - a true treasure to both our dental and medical community, not to mention his patients. And Gail and Tanya in Dr Halmos' office are cut from the same cloth as he is. I highly recommend Dr Halmos to anyone seeking excellent complicated prosthodontic work in Portland. I'm proof of that excellence!
