Community Outreach
At Bedont Orthodontics, we take pride in being active in the community. In addition to attending many community events, Dr. Bedont and his team also remain actively involved in a variety of other meaningful ways, as highlighted below.
Patient appreciation activity
Since 2016 Bedont Orthodontics has proudly hosted an annual Pool Party and BBQ at the Gresham Cascade Athletic Club for our patients and their families. Dr. Bedont fires up the grill with burgers and hotdogs, while guests enjoy swimming, game, prizes, and lots of fun. It’s one of our favorite ways to celebrate our amazing orthodontic family and say thank you for being part of our practice.
Outreach to local dentists
Bedont Orthodontics loves building strong relationships with local dentists, and one of Dr. Bedont’s favorite days of the year is ice cream delivery day! Each year, Dr. Bedont and his team visit dental offices throughout the community to hand-deliver sweet treats as a fun way to say thank you for their partnership and support.

High School Track and Field
Pole vaulting has been a lifelong passion for Dr. Bedont. He competed in the event in both high school and college, and years later, two of his children followed in his footsteps by pole vaulting in high school as well.
When his daughter began vaulting in 2017, Dr. Bedont was invited to join the coaching staff at Camas High School. Since then, he has served as a volunteer part-time coach, assisting full-time pole vault coach Dan Kielty. Coaching has been a rewarding way for him to stay connected to the sport while mentoring young athletes.
Ultimate Frisbee
On Saturday mornings, you can usually find Dr. Bedont out on the field playing Ultimate Frisbee. Since 2014, he has helped organize a weekly pickup game at Goot Park in Camas, creating a fun and welcoming tradition that brings people together year-round.
