Convenient Access from Brush Prairie
Out along SR 503, where the drives are longer, it pays to choose an office that gets more done per trip. Advanced Dental Concepts is about 14 minutes south of Brush Prairie, on NE Vancouver Mall Drive in Vancouver. As a dentist near Brush Prairie, Dr. Katrina Lo plans family checkups, crowns and implant care so you make fewer drives into town.
Start at the Brush Prairie post office, just off NE Caples Road beside SR 503, and take NE 150th Circle out to NE Caples Road. Head south on NE 117th Avenue, which is SR 503, then turn west on NE 119th Street. Go south on NE 72nd Avenue, continue onto NE Andresen Road, and end at NE Vancouver Mall Drive, arriving at 7107 NE Vancouver Mall Dr Ste D, Vancouver, WA 98661. Expect about 7.6 miles door to door, and open Google Maps for turn-by-turn directions.
Some drivers prefer to stay on SR 503 all the way south to SR 500 and come in from that side. Either way, the drive stays on Washington roads with no tolls. Residents to the east and south can also check our pages for Hockinson and Orchards.
Fewer Trips, Better Care for Brush Prairie
Brush Prairie is an unincorporated Clark County community with a long history of its own; a post office has operated here since 1871. SR 503 forms its spine, running about four miles north to central Battle Ground and about five miles south to where the SR 500 freeway begins. Meadow Glade lies to the north, Hockinson to the east and Orchards to the south.
Most of the community lies within Battle Ground Public Schools, whose campuses include Glenwood Heights Primary, while a small part falls in the Hockinson School District. With homes spread across a semi-rural landscape, a dental visit is rarely a quick errand. That is why our team works to combine appointments and plan treatment so every drive counts.
Siblings can be scheduled back to back, and a parent's cleaning can often follow right after. When a tooth needs a crown, CEREC® technology often lets Dr. Lo design, mill and place it in one longer visit instead of two. Implant cases are planned from start to finish before the first step, so you know how many trips to expect.
Urgent problems are a different story. A toothache, swelling or a broken tooth deserves a call right away, and we make every effort to see emergencies as soon as possible. Calling ahead lets the team prepare, so the drive from Brush Prairie leads straight to care.
Planning Bigger Dental Work From Brush Prairie
A missing tooth or a tooth that cannot be saved raises practical questions for anyone living a distance from the office. How many visits will this take, how far apart are they, and can any of it be finished in a single visit? Clear answers up front make a real difference.
For implants, a 3D CBCT scan shows bone height, width and nearby nerves in detail. That lets Dr. Lo decide before treatment whether a site needs Bone Grafting first, and it allows precision-guided placement. The implant and the final tooth are planned together, so there are no surprises midway through.
Not every case needs an implant. A bridge, a crown or a well-placed filling may solve the problem with fewer appointments, and Dr. Lo walks through each option side by side. The decision stays yours, based on your budget, your schedule and how long you want the result to last.
Gum health underpins all of this. Implants and crowns last longest on healthy gums, so patients with a history of periodontal disease usually keep a closer cleaning schedule. Brush Prairie patients who need maintenance visits several times a year often find the Perio membership level helpful.
Services From Your Dentist Near Brush Prairie
Family Dentistry
Children, teens, adults and seniors can all be seen here. Back-to-back appointments let one trip cover the whole household's cleanings and exams.
Dental Implants
From a single tooth to a full arch, implants are planned with 3D CBCT imaging. Placement and restoration are mapped out together from day one.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns and bridges restore strength and appearance. Digital impressions and in-office milling keep the number of visits down whenever possible.
Oral Surgery
When a tooth cannot be saved, Dr. Lo removes it here and can graft the site to prepare for an implant later. A close review of your x-rays and health history always comes first.
New patients start with a full exam, digital x-rays and a cleaning. That first visit gives Dr. Lo what she needs to plan any larger work in as few trips as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Advanced Dental Concepts from Brush Prairie, and how do I get there?
Plan on about 7.6 miles and roughly 14 minutes from the Brush Prairie post office. The route runs south on SR 503 (NE 117th Avenue), west on NE 119th Street, then south on NE 72nd Avenue and NE Andresen Road. For families picking a dentist near Brush Prairie, that keeps the trip on familiar county roads.
Can our whole family be seen in one trip from Brush Prairie?
Usually, yes. We book family members in back-to-back time slots so one drive covers several cleanings and exams. Larger households may need a longer block, so it helps to call a few weeks ahead. Children, teens, adults and seniors are all welcome, and every patient sees Dr. Lo for the exam.
Why does an implant take more than one appointment?
More than one, because the bone needs time to heal around the implant before the final tooth goes on. The exact number depends on whether grafting is needed first. Dr. Lo maps out every step with a 3D CBCT scan at the start, so you know the sequence and spacing of visits before treatment begins.
Is there a membership plan that covers gum maintenance cleanings?
Yes. The Platinum Smile Plan's Perio option costs $79 a month, or $948 a year, and includes four periodontal maintenance cleanings, two exams, four fluoride treatments, annual x-rays, one emergency visit and an oral cancer screening. A one-time $99 enrollment fee applies. This plan is not insurance.
How early should I leave Brush Prairie for an 8 AM appointment?
Allow more than the usual 14 minutes, since rush hour adds time on SR 503 and the roads heading south. Leaving with a comfortable cushion means you can check in calmly instead of hurrying. Appointments run Monday through Thursday, and the earliest slots suit anyone who wants to finish before work.
