Meet the Doctor

As Dr. Mika Miyamoto-Shemali’s patient, you will benefit from her years of world-class advanced training programs completed in her pursuit to become a top restorative and cosmetic dentist.  Not only will you receive exceptional results, you will find her chair-side manner and touch to be exceptional.

Dr. Mika, who is fluent in Japanese, received her dental degree from Oregon Health Sciences University and taught at her alma mater as a clinical instructor. In 2002, she opened her private practice, Pearl District Dental, in Portland, Oregon, where she continues her pursuit of dental perfection with each and every patient.

This is one of the world’s most respected postgraduate institutions that trains dentists to involve you, the patient, in treatment planning to ensure your desired results. In addition to offering world-class training in general dentistry, the Pankey Institute focuses heavily on the evaluation of the bite and placing restorations in a manner that will ensure or return bite harmony.
