Meet Dr. Kaady
23+ years in dentistry, with advanced training in sleep, airway, TMJ, biologic dentistry, and complex restorative care.
Dr. Ziad Kaady, DMD, has practiced dentistry in Portland for more than 23 years. Over time, his approach has expanded well beyond treating individual teeth to understanding how bite, jaw function, sleep, airway, materials, inflammation, and restorative decisions can affect the bigger picture.
Just as important, patients deserve to understand what is being recommended and why.
“The goal is not to make dentistry more complicated. It is to look carefully, explain clearly, and recommend care that makes sense for the individual patient.”
Some dental problems are straightforward. Others keep returning because more than one factor may be involved. Dr. Kaady's approach is to look at the teeth, bite, jaw joints and muscles, airway, sleep concerns, restorative history, and overall goals when those pieces are relevant.
Dr. Kaady is a Diplomate of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy and has pursued extensive post-doctoral education in dental sleep medicine, airway evaluation, and oral appliance therapy. When sleep-disordered breathing is suspected, Bridgetown Dental coordinates testing and physician diagnosis rather than asking dentistry to replace medicine.
Dr. Kaady completed advanced clinical training with Dr. Steven Olmos through a mini-residency focused on TMJ disorders, orofacial pain, dental sleep medicine, bite instability, clenching, headaches, and related jaw and muscle concerns.
Dr. Kaady is a member of the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine and completed advanced ozone training with Dr. Philip Mollica. These principles influence material selection, oral microbiome considerations, and the use of medical-grade ozone as an adjunct when appropriate.
Whether the concern is a failing restoration, missing tooth, worn smile, veneers, or a larger restorative plan, the goal is to think ahead about function, bite, tooth preservation, aesthetics, and long-term stability rather than simply fixing one tooth at a time.
Bridgetown Dental works with physicians and other healthcare professionals when a concern crosses beyond routine dental care. That may include sleep physicians, ENTs, oral surgeons, orthodontists, myofunctional therapists, and other providers depending on the patient's needs.
Dr. Kaady enjoys time with his wife and three sons, traveling, golf, good food, and being with family and friends. That perspective carries into the practice: people want to be heard, treated respectfully, and given recommendations they can understand and feel comfortable with.

Yes. Bridgetown Dental collaborates with sleep physicians, oral surgeons, ENTs, orthodontists, myofunctional therapists, naturopathic physicians, and other providers when appropriate.
