Parkside Orthodontics

We are grateful to have Dr. Rebecca Kuperstein, the only orthodontist in inner southeast, right in our same Swap Shop neighborhood just a block off of Laurelhurst Park at 539 SE 39th. Since there are some bite alignment issues that can but don’t always get noticed by a general dentist, first visits are best made by 7 or 8 years old. An early consult can let you know what to expect down the road and maybe even save you the cost and your child the discomfort of bigger corrective measures later on. Dr. Kuperstien is our very first Roost sponsor. She’ll be glad to know that you heard about her practice from the Sunnyside Swap Shop Co-op. Contact Dr. Kuperstein’s office at (503) 236-3800 [...]
