About Us

Dr. Scheffel completed his undergrad at PSU in 1982 and moved on to OHSU to complete his doctorate of dentistry in 1986. He too was elected membership into Omicron Kappa Upsilon by the OHSU Honorary Dental Society. Upon graduation from dental school Dr.Scheffel opened the first ever Faculty Practice at OHSU. While also teaching there, he earned the Deans Award for Faculty Achievement from the department of operative dentistry and is still, to this day, very much admired by the dental community. He left the Faculty Practice in 1996 to join Dr. Roger Lawrence in private practice and continues to treat patients in Beaverton. Dr. Scheffel’s passion and expertise is restoration of the entire mouth, with focus on multi implant prosthetics. He enjoys bow hunting, exercising, and white water rafting.

Dr. Lawrence graduated Magna Cum Laude from Biola University in 1982 and then moved on to OHSU to complete his doctorate of dentistry in 1986. Upon graduation, he decided to further his experience by accepting a dental residency at Denver General Hospital until 1987. His hard work over this period of time elected him memberships to Delta Epsilon Chi from Biola Honor Society and Omicron Kappa Upsilon by the OHSU Honorary Dental Society. He has been in private practice since 1987 and joined Dr. Steve Scheffel in 1996 where they currently practice together in Beaverton. Dr. Lawrence’s character and ethics have produced for him a reputation that is revered by his peers. Aside from his love of dentistry, he enjoys backpacking, woodworking, spending time with his wife Joanna and their three grown children, and tending to his Christmas tree farm.
