Urban Renewal
An Oregon dental office is providing renewal to a dental team and the community they serve
When Dan O’Leary, DDS, opened Oak Park Dental in Salem, Oregon, the mayor referred to him as “a bit of a rock star” – a title not commonly associated with those in the dental profession. After 26 years of providing dental care in the Salem/Keizer community, Dr. O’Leary’s rock star status has been solidified by his beautiful new practice – a facility that is helping to uplift an urban renewal area that the city has earmarked funds to revitalize. “I’ve been practicing in this community for a long time and I’ve seen the area slowly change and improve,” said O’Leary. “Oak Park Dental has become a visible part of that growth and I’m proud to have a positive impact. We have a new, modern office, and I hope it encourages other business owners to see this area as a viable place to do business.”

Despite necessary expansions through the years, O’Leary’s original office couldn’t keep up with the growth of the practice. Small rooms and cramped quarters left him wanting a facility that would allow him and his staff to work more comfortably and efficiently. With that vision in mind, he knew he had found the perfect place to build when O’Leary came across a lot for sale less than two miles from his original office. Building on the site would allow him to stay close to his patients while helping to revitalize the community.
“It was a little bit daunting starting a project like this,” said O’Leary. “During the first stages Patterson Representative Kelly Small and Equipment Specialist Trent Crollard were instrumental in helping me take the next step.” The team of experts who joined the project are each rock stars in their own right – a real estate agent, finance representative, builder, architect and interior designer. “The team was amazing,” said O’Leary. “Everyone worked closely together and that’s what made this project go so smoothly. Patterson was the keystone but each person played their part in helping to successfully complete this project within the desired timeframe.”
