The rebuild phase continues as fresh timber placement has begun! So excited to see the framing going in and seeing things come together so quickly. A bit should out to for their quick and nimble movements to work with the insurances (yes there are multiple), the city, engineer and of course —US!— to get this massive and complex rebuild project going so quickly.

Next up, preparation for trusses then truss delivery! Who loves seeing cranes??? 👋👋👋Stay tuned!

As a reminder we are CURRENTLY seeing new and existing patients just down the street at the iHeart Radio building in Tigard!

Rebuild update #6! You’ll be seeing lots of activity on the building these next few weeks as we take down selective walls and remove and replace the roof! As a reminder, we are seeing existing AND new patients Monday through Thursday (typically) at the iHeartRadio building in Tigard during this rebuilding phase. Stay tuned for more updates, including the new carpet, paint, and upholstery colors we have selected!

PSA! The more we learn about this, the more we understand that lithium on batteries, while very useful, pose very real and common dangers. Important info for the home as well! Thank you to the ((i’m sure he’s very friendly, too — my mistake!) for the great content that we can share and educate everybody. As a reminder, we are open and seeing patients typically 8 AM to 5 PM every day at the iHeartRadio station building in Tigard! Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the coming months and it looks like we are on schedule to move back in around the first day of school! Stay tuned for more rebuild updates!

Update: Everyone is safe, no one was hurt. 🙏 A special thanks to Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue for their quick and courageous response. We are planning to rebuild and repair the structure and more info will be coming soon! We are very grateful for all the support the entire community, especially the dental community that has reached out. Truly overwhelming. ❤️❤️❤️. We are exploring opening up a temporary office location just minutes away from the office to seeing patients as early as the next week or two. Our phones are still online and we are responding to patient questions or concerns. Feel free to call us if any questions or concerns. Several of our dental colleagues have stepped up to see any emergencies while we are down . Thank you to everyone for your patience as the Kona team regroups to open the doors again for all of our wonderful patients and families! 🙏 🙏🙏
