Dr. Rust's Profile

Dr. Douglas A. Rust – Dentist at Paradigm

Dr. Douglas A. Rust is a Portland native, and he went to Portland State University to get his undergraduate degree in 1973. He also graduated from Oregon Health and Science University Dental School in 1980. Dr. Rust is in his fourth decade of caring for patients in the Beaverton and Southwest Portland area. He always continues his education as a dentist, and to stays up-to-date on the latest in oral health. In his youth, Dr. Rust wanted to be a dentist because he loved helping people, and he wanted to make a career out of it. At OHSU, he was privileged to work with exceptional teachers and mentors who stressed the importance of careful service, and also excellence in dentistry.

As a general dentist, Dr. Rust practices a wide variety of dental procedures and techniques that lets him serve a huge range of patient needs. He offers a number of services, both the typical and the specialized: fillings, crowns, root canals, bridges, surgical extractions, etc., but Dr. Rust tries to escape old, aged methods as much as possible. Especially, he tries to stay abreast of modern advances and training that allows him to always provide great service across the range of patient needs he’s presented with.

Early in his career, he became certified in straight-wire orthodontics and also has kept up with the latest advances in Invisalign and ClearCorrect technology. Embracing new technology, he moved away from straight-wire treatments and has done well over 300 cases of Invisalign.

Dr. Rust’s favorite thing about his job is that he gets to help people take care of themselves. If someone comes in with a chipped tooth, he repairs it. If someone comes in with a toothache, he gets to take care of it. When he comes into the office every day, he has the opportunity to help people improve their smiles and improve their health. He’s excited by the prospect of improving technology in the dental industry, particularly the use of lasers.

He is undoubtedly the best source of dental knowledge in Beaverton. Don’t believe us? Dr. Rust has his own video series, “Ask Dr. Rust,” where he answers common questions and concerns in dentistry! From the affects of soda on our teeth, to why gums bleed when we floss sometimes, Dr. Rust offers his vast wealth of knowledge to answers all those questions we have but don’t know how to ask. Check them out on our YouTube page.

I have only been a patient for a little less than a year, but so far I have been extremely impressed. The entire staff is always upbeat and willing to do whatever it takes to make the customer satisfied. I myself, have worked for Les Schwab since I was 16 years old, and customer service was ingrained in me since then. So when I find service at an exceptional level, it really makes an imprint on me. At this point, I would never consider going anywhere else. You can always find service, but excellent service is hard to find. I’m glad I found the right place. Because as far as I’m concerned, anywhere else would be subpar……..Thanks Brian and Staff…..Truly appreciate your efforts!…….

I was very pleased and (as much as is possible with the dentist) look forward to my next visit. I found Paradigm Dental on Google Maps while looking for a dentist office close to home. They accept Aetna insurance and had good reviews so I made an appointment. Everyone was very nice and explained things clearly, and the polishing part was the least unpleasant I’ve ever experienced!

I highly recommend Paradigm Dental! From the front office staff, to the hygienist, to Dr. Rust (basically all employees you come in to contact with) everyone is professional, friendly, and the office makes you feel at home. It’s nice to go in to an office where they remember your name… Another plus is that they can almost do everything right there in their office. There is no need to run around town getting consultations and appointments with specialty dentists. Who has time for that? They also have the latest dental equipment right there! Did I mention that I live in SE Portland and still drive to Beaverton for my dental needs? I definitely recommend Paradigm!

My most recent visit was for my normal 6 month cleaning. Charlie is always friendly as she checks my health record and gets everything set up. Julia does a super job with the cleanings. My teeth feel great when she is done. She also takes time to answer questions in detail. Dr. Rust came in and checked everything out along. My previous appointment was to replace a crown that had broken over the weekend. Dr. Rust and his assistant were efficient and yet took time to talk to me about things in general and specifics of what had happened with the broken crown. Since I am a bit of a coward about the dentist, I truly appreciate their caring attitude. They continual check to insure I am not in pain.

I have been to Paradigm dental twice. Once for a routine cleaning and once for Dr. Rust’s first filling using a new laser technology. It was quick and easy and I didn’t have to have my mouth numbed at all. With it being my first filling, it was as easy as it could be. The whole staff is nice and professional. I will be staying with Paradigm as long as I am in the Beaverton area!

I’ve been a patient of the clinic for 4 years and was always happy with the treatment plans, scheduling, flexibility and very personal touch. I am convinced that patients get best options and variety of choices if such are available. Excellent team. Convenient location. I trust this clinic and would recommend it to my closest friends. I am not being paid or compensated for this review. Be healthy.

I have three things to comment on: Dr. Rust, staff, and the office space.
1. Dr. Rust is awesome. He always makes you feel like you are the only person in the world when he is meeting with you. He is a great dentist, one of the best Beaverton dentists, and you can trust that when he is working on your teeth he is doing it the right way.
2. The staff is very experienced. The entire staff is focused on making your experience comfortable and efficient.
3. The office is beautiful. Very modern and light. I never thought I would be getting my teeth cleaned in such a classy environment.
All around a great place and I would recommend Paradigm to anyone looking for a Beaverton dentist.

Not only is Dr. Rust a nice guy, he is also an excellent dentist who uses both conservative and innovative techniques to help us achieve optimum dental health. He surrounds himself with a genuine and caring staff who help create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

I had an appointment during the the Great Snowpocalypse of 2017.
I thought that there was no way the doctor would make it in to fix my cavity but the staff made it. I rode my fatbike through the snow and Dr. Rust fixed me up quick and painlessly! Big thanks!

I’ve seen Doug since I was a preteen. I won’t see anyone else, and I’ve made my insurance decisions based on his care. He’s fantastic, Julia’s fantastic, and so is everyone on staff at Paradigm.

On-time, friendly, courteous and very professional. The visit went just as I had expected. I’ve been a patient at Paradigm Dental of Beaverton for over 30 years, and I would not go anywhere else. I highly recommend Dr. Rust and his entire staff!

Had the opportunity to use a new laser device in use for (among other things) cavity removal. The entire process took about 12 minutes from sitting in the chair and I didn’t even need local anesthetic! They always have the most updated technology and really show patients they care.

Paradigm Dental is really the best place in Beaverton to go for all your dental needs. Their staff is great and payments are always easy and affordable. I’ve been seeing Dr. Douglas Rust and Dr. Brian Rust for more than a few years now and I can always count their honest opinion and quality work.

I love Paradigm Dental! The staff is friendly and helpful! The hygienist is wonderfully pain free for me and Dr. Rust is the friendliest dentist around. I never feel pressured about any future needed procedures and they always give me an estimated out of pocket cost. I really appreciate Paradigm!

The ENTIRE staff is THE BEST! The dentist isn’t usually a favorite appointment, but they make you feel at home and are so caring and non-judgmental. For years, I skipped dentist appointments, but when I did go, hygienists seemed frustrated at me for not coming in sooner. Not here. Julia is the best hygienist ever and so sweet. She inspires you to do better, but doesn’t make you feel bad if you haven’t done your best. I can not recommend them enough!!!

From crowns to fillings to cleaning I am very pleased with the staff at Paradigm. Dr. Rust is friendly, efficient and capable. Closest I’ve ever come to painless dentistry. I will continue to use Paradigm and recommend them to friends and family.

Cleaning was quick and effective. It took less time that I expected. Dr Rust’s repair of my filling was also stress free. Anesthetic was expertly applied, I never felt the needle go into my gum. Getting the crown down to the proper level was much quicker and more precise that my previous Beaverton dentist. I guess experience shows.

I came to Paradigm Dental to see Dr Rust on the recommendation of a friend after my dentist of 20+ years retired. I loved my old dentist, so the bar was set high. My first visit to Dr Rust’s office was excellent. Everyone in the office is friendly and professional, reception, dental assistant, dental hygienist and Dr Rust. I’m really happy to have found Paradigm.

After the procedure they both stayed and we all just chatted for about 30 minutes. Not about dentistry, but about my profession and they were genuinely interested. It was truly a good dentist experience, which going to the dentist in general is never a good time. They know with my work schedule that email is the most convenient way for me to communicate and set appointment, and they always respond same day. It’s not an automated response, it’s an actual person, where after the fist email, the signature disappears.
