Women on the Move 2025 - Ashley Bennett, DDS

She believes that being a woman-owned dental practice is part of the clinic’s uniqueness, but also credits her and her team’s commitment to creating a non-traditional patient experience as one of the reasons why they continue to be successful.
The office offers comfortable seating in the waiting room, and while patients wait, they can enjoy tea and coffee, snacks, sparkling water, or a glass of wine.
There are also two office therapy dogs – a Newfoundland Poodle mix and a teacup pomeranian that was trained specifically to work in the dental office – that comforts and reassures patients, both in the waiting room and in the dental chair.
“She will nuzzle her neck into yours while you’re lying in the dental chair, and if invited, she will jump up and literally give you a hug,” said Dr. Bennett. “Our patients find so much comfort in her presence – it has been the best thing for all of us.”
When the visit is over, the team provides patients with warm aromatherapy towels to freshen up. Forest Park Dental Studio is a Platinum Provider with CandidPro, which means they have a lot of expertise and experience treating patients with clear aligners.
“We do a ton of the clear aligner work, and we love it,” shared Dr. Bennett.
Dr. Bennett is proud to have been recognized by Top Doctor Magazine for the last 5 years in a row and as one of the “Top Women in Dentistry.” She was also nominated this year as a “Top Dentist in Portland, Oregon”.
