From Covington Neighborhood Park at 6916 NE 94th Avenue, wind out through NE 70th Circle, NE 91st Avenue and NE 68th Street, then follow NE 94th Avenue to NE 63rd Street.

The Census Bureau treats Five Corners as its own census-designated place; it is unincorporated Clark County land that uses Vancouver mailing addresses, framed by I-205 on its southwest side and SR 503 along NE 117th Avenue to the east. Its neighbors include Walnut Grove to the southwest and Orchards to the east, each covered on its own page.
Everyday Dental Care a Few Minutes From Five Corners
Life here revolves around neighborhood parks, school routines and NE Padden Parkway, which crosses the community. Most children attend schools in the Evergreen School District, while some parts of the area fall within the Battle Ground district. The county's Maple Tree Neighborhood Association focuses on clean and safe parks, slower traffic and support for local small businesses.
The 4.6 acres of Covington Neighborhood Park hold a basketball half court, play equipment and a walking path of a little over a third of a mile. For the parents watching from the edge of that court, a dental office that is close and keeps a predictable schedule makes it easier to look after the care that slips most often: their own.
Our hours are Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and Friday through Sunday the office is closed. An early slot lets Five Corners commuters fit a cleaning or an aligner check in before the workday gets going.
Barberton lies to the northwest and Brush Prairie to the north, so a move within this part of the county rarely means changing dentists.
Kids still chip teeth on the basketball court, of course. Urgent problems such as a broken or knocked-out tooth qualify for same-day evaluations, and until you arrive, a knocked-out tooth should be held by the crown and kept moist.
What Five Corners Adults Should Know About Straightening and Whitening
Crowding that has crept in since the teen years is common, and it is not only cosmetic, because overlapping teeth trap plaque and are harder to clean. CandidPro clear aligners treat mild to moderate alignment concerns with removable trays, so you can eat and brush normally. Our page on CandidPro for adults and busy lifestyles explains how treatment fits a working week.
Treatment begins with an iTero scan, which builds a 3D model of your teeth in minutes without impression putty. Progress is tracked digitally between visits, and retainers keep the result in place once the last aligner is done.
Whitening is often the simplest upgrade. Zoom® teeth whitening is done in the office, while bonding or veneers can address chips and uneven edges that whitening cannot change. Every cosmetic plan follows a conservative approach that keeps as much natural tooth as possible.
Veneers are thin custom shells bonded to the front of the teeth, and they can change shape, length and color at once. Bonding is quicker and more conservative for small fixes. Many smile updates combine the two with whitening so the result looks natural and even.
Before any cosmetic or orthodontic work begins, Dr. Lo makes sure the foundation is healthy. Decay or gum inflammation has to be treated first, because straightening or brightening teeth with active problems only hides them for a while.
Cosmetic and Family Care From a Dentist Near Five Corners
CandidPro® Clear Aligners
Removable aligners for mild to moderate crowding or spacing, started with an iTero® scan and monitored digitally. Retainers protect the result once treatment ends.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening, bonding, veneers and contour refinement can be combined into one smile design plan. Dr. Lo favors a conservative approach that leaves healthy tooth structure intact.
Family Dentistry
Spouses, kids and grandparents can all be seen here, with digital x-rays, comprehensive exams and gum monitoring for every age.
Emergency Dentistry
Cracked or knocked-out teeth, swelling and infections receive same-day evaluations when urgent. Temporary restorations protect a damaged tooth until the final repair is ready.
Not every Five Corners visit is cosmetic. Cleanings, exams, fillings and gum checks keep the whole household healthy, and those routine appointments are where Dr. Lo spots the chips, wear and crowding that cosmetic care can address later.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Advanced Dental Concepts from Five Corners, and how do I get there?
Count on about 2.4 miles from Covington Neighborhood Park, roughly a 6-minute drive. The route uses NE 63rd Street west and NE 72nd Avenue south to NE Vancouver Mall Drive, all on local streets. That keeps every trip to a dentist near Five Corners free of freeway merges, even on busy mornings.
Am I too old for clear aligners?
No. CandidPro aligners work for adults as well as younger patients, and the health of your teeth and gums matters more than your age. Dr. Lo checks for gum disease and decay first, then uses an iTero scan to see whether your crowding or spacing falls in the mild-to-moderate range that aligners treat.
Will I need to wear a retainer after aligner treatment?
Yes. Teeth tend to drift back toward their old positions, so retainers are part of finishing CandidPro treatment. CEREC technology can produce clear retainers right in the office, and Dr. Lo will explain how often to wear them while your teeth settle into their new positions.
If I whiten, will my old front fillings still match?
Probably not, because bleaching only lightens natural enamel. Bonded fillings, crowns and veneers stay the shade they were made in, so a restoration that blends in today may stand out once the teeth around it get brighter. One common approach is to whiten first, then update any visible restoration to the new color.
Do I still need regular cleanings during aligner treatment?
Yes, and they matter even more. Aligners hold food and plaque against your teeth if you skip brushing before putting them back in, so cavities and gum irritation can start faster. Keep your six-month cleanings on schedule, brush after meals and rinse the trays, and Dr. Lo will check your gums along with your progress.
