Meet Dr. Ziad Kaady

Dr. Ziad Kaady founded Bridgetown Dental with one simple but powerful goal: to deliver joy and elevate the human experience through dentistry. Known for his gentle touch, thoughtful care, and genuine connection with patients, Dr. Kaady has spent more than 20 years building a practice rooted in trust, understanding, and whole-body health.

Dr. Kaady’s path to dentistry is a unique one. He earned his undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering from Oregon State University and spent a year working as an engineer before realizing his true calling was helping people in a more personal, hands-on, and medical way. That realization led him to pursue dentistry, earning his dental degree from Oregon Health & Science University.

For over two decades, Dr. Kaady has proudly served the St. Johns community, caring for generations of patients and valuing the long-term relationships that make dentistry so meaningful to him. He is committed to creating a welcoming, supportive environment where patients feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for.

While Dr. Kaady practices all aspects of general dentistry, he is especially passionate about sleep, airway health, and TMJ disorders. This focus is deeply personal – after recognizing breathing and sleep challenges in his own children and experiencing sleep apnea himself, he became dedicated to understanding the powerful connection between oral health, airway function, and overall wellness. Today, he helps patients improve not only their smiles, but their quality of life.

Dr. Kaady is certified in the Vivos method for treating mild to moderate sleep apnea, trained in the Myoaligner protocol for TMJ disorders, and is a Certified Diplomate of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy. He is also a member of the American Dental Association and Oregon Dental Association. His holistic approach recognizes that oral health plays a vital role in total body health.

Outside the office, Dr. Kaady enjoys fishing, cooking, golfing, and spending time with his wife and their three teenage boys. Every day he walks into Bridgetown Dental with the same mission: to help people smile brighter, breathe better, sleep better, and live healthier, happier lives.
