If you’ve been searching for dental care that goes deeper than surface-level treatments, you’re not alone.
Around the world, patients are waking up to new health ideas: your mouth is directly connected to the health of your entire body.
This realization is driving a new wave of health-conscious travelers, people who are willing to cross borders, state lines, and thousands of miles to seek a different kind of dentistry. A dentistry rooted in healing and feeling whole.
Welcome to Dental Tourism at Blodgett Dental Care in Portland, Oregon, where science-backed biological dentistry, cosmetic transformation, and whole-body wellness come together to create a healing, restorative, relaxing, luxurious, and deeply personal experience.
This isn’t just another dental trip. It is where you can feel whole again.
Why Patients Are Traveling to Portland for Whole-Body Dentistry
People travel for many reasons: vacations, personal retreats, business, but now more than ever, they travel for health! Dental tourism has taken off globally, and Blodgett Dental Care stands apart because it’s not about standard dentistry. It’s about healthier dentistry.
Patients come to Portland because they want a holistic approach they can truly trust—one that looks beyond surface symptoms like cavities, missing teeth, or another routine root canal recommendation. Instead of treating isolated problems, they’re seeking care that understands the deeper connections between oral health and overall wellness.
Patients today are asking deeper questions:
- “Why am I still in pain?”
- “Why does something still feel wrong even after years of dental work?”
- “Is my dental health affecting my whole body?”
- “Why am I still sick despite so many doctor’s visits and medications?”
At Blodgett Dental Care, the answer is almost always: Yes, your past dentistry is contributing to your health decline! Your oral health affects every other aspect of your heatlh!
Dr. Kelly J. Blodgett’s Humanistic Dentistry approach, as highlighted in his book Feel Whole Again, explores the root causes of oral imbalance, inflammation, toxicity, and chronic symptoms as well as the emotional aspects that are associated with being “gas lit” by disengaged providers.
Cosmetic Dentistry That Respects the Body
Cosmetic dentistry can change a smile—but at Blodgett Dental Care, it can change so much more. Not all cosmetic dentistry supports whole-body health, which is why patients travel here for an approach that’s as thoughtful as it is transformative.
Materials are biocompatibility-tested, toxic metals are avoided, and each treatment is planned with your airway, posture, TMJ, and even your gut health in mind. The goal isn’t just a beautiful smile; it’s better alignment, increased energy, renewed confidence, and improved health. At BDC, you don’t just leave looking better—you leave feeling better.

What Is Dental Tourism and Why Choose Portland?
Dental tourism traditionally meant traveling abroad for cheap care. But the modern movement is different. More patients now travel within the U.S. to find practitioners who align with their health values.
Portland and Blodgett Dental Care attract dental tourists because it offers:
- Medical freedom + integrative healthcare
- World-class biological dentistry (still rare in the U.S.)
- A culture built on sustainability, wellness, and deep care
- Easy travel access from most major airports
- A peaceful retreat environment that supports recovery
People aren’t coming just for a procedure. They’re coming for healing and transformation.
