Dr. Gilday is a perfectionist and I'm glad! I needed to have a front incisor crown replaced because of its age and coloring. I was always somewhat embarrassed to smile because it looked like a crown. I was assured that I would be happy with the replacement. He sent the photos to the lab and they created a match, unfortunately it was not perfect, so he sent it back until it was perfect. Now after 20 years I have a tooth that looks and feels like my original. I'm pleased with the entire staff and experience.
“When I had the opportunity to help change the lives of underserved people overseas, it completely shifted my perspective on dental care. To me being a dentist is about being responsible to really help people better their lives. That’s my mission.”

Following graduation with honors from Oregon Health Sciences University Dental School, Dr. Gilday went on to study full mouth reconstruction at the highly acclaimed Pankey Institute. He has also served on several medical missions with HELP International in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Belarus.
