Dr. Graham D. Shea, DDS

Clackamas isn’t just a pass-through on the way to Mount Hood—it’s where routine checkups and preventive care happen without the downtown Portland premium. Dr. Graham D. Shea, DDS operates out of a professional office on SE Sunnyside Road, handling everything from fillings and crowns to the less glamorous but essential work of periodontal maintenance. The practice doesn’t advertise cosmetic whitening or Invisalign, which says something about its focus: general dentistry, done without the upsell.

The address, 10209 SE Sunnyside Rd, places it in a stretch of Clackamas that’s more functional than flashy—think medical offices, a post office, and the kind of strip-mall Thai place locals argue about. This isn’t the spot for a scenic detour, but it’s convenient if you’re coming from Happy Valley or Damascus and want to avoid I-205 traffic. Dentistry, after all, is one of those errands best handled close to home, ideally between a grocery run and picking up dry cleaning.

Like most dental offices, this one covers the basics: exams, cleanings, X-rays, and the occasional root canal when luck runs out. There’s no spa-like preamble or artisanal toothpaste samples—just the standard tools of the trade. Questions about insurance or scheduling are best directed to the front desk, and if you need to reach them directly, the number is (503) 353-3900. No online booking portal is listed, so plan on a phone call if you’re not already in their system.

For anyone mapping the route, the directions are straightforward—just watch for the turnoff if you’re heading eastbound. It’s the kind of place you’ll remember when your molar starts acting up, not because of the view, but because it’s there when you need it.
