READ RON'S BIO

RONALD C. SELIS, DMD

Born and raised in Honolulu, HI, Dr. Nalani Oda graduated with her Bachelor of Arts from The Colorado College. After a few wonderfully explorative years that involved homesteading in Alaska, teaching English in Japan, and kitesurfing competitively around the world, Dr. Oda continued on to receive her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco in 2010 where she was the recipient of the WICHE scholarship from the state of Hawaii and the Dean’s Scholarship from the University of the Pacific. Upon graduation, Dr. Oda moved to Hilo, HI to serve the community at a public health clinic, providing care for uninsured and underinsured patients. There she completed a residency program in Advanced Education in General Dentistry. Dr. Oda continued to serve as a dentist and faculty for the residency program until 2014 when she moved to Portland. In 2018 she was inducted into the American College of Dentists, the oldest honorary organization for dentists, with the mission to advance excellence, ethics, professionalism and leadership in dentistry.

Dr. Oda focuses on patient comfort, quality care and preventative dentistry. She loves road trips, camping, hiking and exploring the Pacific Northwest. She appreciates spending time with her family, friends and her two adopted kittens.

READ NALANI'S BIO

Nalani Oda, DDS

Dr. Selis is a Northeast Portland native, born and raised just down the street from Alameda Dental. After graduating from Grant High School he earned his Bachelor of Science from Oregon State University, and then attended Oregon Health Sciences University, receiving his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 1989. Upon completion of dental school Dr. Selis began service as a United States Navy Dental Officer for three years, two of those overseas onboard the aircraft carrier USS Independence. He returned home in 1993 to begin his General Dentistry private practice in the community that he treasures.

Dr. Selis has completed study at the renowned KOIS Center in Seattle, which provides an intensive and ongoing dental training curriculum incorporating the latest research and advances in oral health care and preventative, restorative and aesthetic dentistry. He actively pursues continuing education to further enhance his knowledge and skills and is a member of multiple professional organizations and study clubs. He also believes in giving back to the community, and has served as a volunteer at non-profit dental clinics in Portland and rural Oregon.

Dr. Selis and his family enjoy many recreational and social pursuits including travel, tennis, fly-fishing, sports, and everything the area has to offer, indoors and out. Dr. Selis is passionate about his profession and the people in his practice, and particularly appreciates the long-term patient relationships that develop from practicing in a community in which he is so deeply rooted (pun intended).

FIRST VISIT

Looking forward to
meeting you!

What to expect on your first visit.

We typically schedule new patients for a combined comprehensive exam and cleaning. At this appointment you will see one of our dental hygienists first, who will gather important clinical information, take any necessary radiographs (x-rays) and perform a thorough periodontal (gum health) evaluation. The dentist will review the findings and perform a complete examination and assesment of your oral and dental condition and risk factors, and discuss any necessary and elective treatment.

If you are a new patient with an urgent concern you may be seen first by the dentist for a limited evaluation of that issue.
