Meet Our Prostho­dontists

Dr. Despoina Bompolaki

Dr. Despoina Bompolaki is a Prosthodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics. She treats patients who demand high quality esthetic dentistry as well as those in need of extensive restorative procedures ranging from complete dentures to full mouth rehabilitations on natural teeth or dental implants. Dr. Bompolaki strives to improve her patients’ oral health and overall confidence, approaches each patient comprehensively, and uses minimally invasive treatments whenever possible. She strives for excellence, pays great attention to detail, and is committed to providing her patients a great experience at every visit.

Dr. Bompolaki holds a Doctorate in Dental Surgery from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. In 2011, she received a Certificate in Prosthodontics and completed a Master’s in Oral Biology from Texas A&M University (Baylor College of Dentistry). During this 3-year training program, she received extensive experience with dental implants, porcelain veneers, and full mouth reconstructions.

After graduating from Prosthodontics residency, she became an Assistant Professor of Prosthodontics at Marquette University School of Dentistry. In 2015, she joined at Oregon Health & Science University, where she is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Restorative Dentistry. She is responsible for teaching Prosthodontics to the next generation of dentists, supervising them during their clinical training, and giving lectures to the Periodontology, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and General Practice postgraduate residents.

Dr. Bompolaki’s clinical research in Fixed and Implant Prosthodontics has been funded by the American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics as well as the American Academy of Implant Dentistry Foundation and her published work has been recognized nationally and internationally. She is a Fellow of the American College of Prosthodontists and a member of the Academy of Osseointegration and serves on several committees at a national level, within these two organizations.

Dr. Bompolaki has maintained an active clinical practice throughout her academic career. She is excited to join a multi-specialty practice at Fusion Dental Specialists, where patients have a truly unique opportunity to be treated by a team of multiple highly-trained specialists in one location.

When not treating patients or thinking about their teeth, Dr. Bompolaki enjoys everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer; she has always been into camping and indie movies, and after moving in Portland she discovered she is also an avid bike commuter, an adventurous hiker, and an unapologetic foodie.
