Dentists

Dr. Emily and staff are amazing. She's so patient and understanding, and as someone with severe anxiety of cavity fillings it meant a lot to have them take the time to acknowledge my feelings and explain everything that's going on. Made for a much better experience than I anticipated.

The old fake tip on a chipped tooth finally came off, so I made an appointment with Dr. Nguyen the day after I got back in country to have it fixed. I arrived to discover that the appointment was only to look at my tooth and another appointment was weeks out, and when I expressed my displeasure they set me up with a completely different dentist. She did a poor job, and the fake tip on my canine is now much thinner than the rest of my tooth and feels rough when I run my tongue over it. My first tip felt like the rest of my tooth, this is awful in comparison. I'm afraid to even chew with it. The worst part is that apparently glue will only bond to a tooth so many times, so when this comes off I'll likely need a crown. I'm disappointed with both the administration's lack of clarity and the actual work done on my tooth. It's been almost a year and I still notice it in my mouth...I wouldn't be so upset if it weren't permanent.

Great service and knowledge! They cater to cowards, so I felt safe. Everybody listened to my concerns and really cared how I felt.

She is wonderful, so kind and caring with my children! I can't imagine a better pediatric dentist!

Both dentists are FANTASTIC with kids and so are their staff! We are so blessed to have found such excellent care for our children's teeth!

Dr. Marks is an exceptional pediatric dentist. He is knowledgeable, efficient, effective, and has a terrific rapport with kids and adults alike.

Dr. Sun was the most kind, caring, and knowledgeable dentist I have visited. All of the staff were very friendly and it was a pleasure visiting the office. I highly recommend Dr. Sun's practice if you are looking for high quality dental care!

I am hugely lucky to have Dr. Banner and his staff so close to home. After years of not visiting the dentist, I was treated respectfully and without judgment. Appointments are a must because they are so popular! Thankfully, Banner Dental can put you on a standby list to be notified if an opening comes up in their schedule. The cleaning was gentle and thorough. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. I am anxious to go back!

After trying several other dentists in the area in my first five years in Seattle I have happily settled here. The cleaning is through and the dentist takes time to answer my questions. Since coming here I have had three kids and I bring them here as well. They do an awesome job with the kids and are really on top of it in alerting us that my oldest will need braces and to start researching that sooner than later along with several recommendations. While we have now moved, we continue to drive here as it is worth it.

Best oral surgeons in town!

I and my entire family have done nothing but suffer as a result of this woman's crooked dental practice. She treated my autistic step brother like the poop you scrape off your shoe, we found out from an associate she was giving fillings and lying saying my step mother had cavities when she didn't (if she did it to her she probably has done it to many more) and she destroyed my teeth. She gave me a crown that doesn't match the rest of my teeth while telling me that it was the whitest they could possibly make a crown (that was a lie, it's yellow) and she didn't fit it even close to correct while saying that was the best it could possibly be fitted to my mouth. It has since destroyed my upper bite and ground down the teeth below to the root. Before this ugly permanent crown that is right in the front, she privided me with a temporary crown that was so yellow it looked like a piece of corn. I had to wear that for an entire month before I got the crappy permanent one I've been stuck with that has destroyed my teeth. She also had zero compassion and was always very rough when she was my dentist. Don't trust this crook! I would less than zero stars, but it's not an option!

Was recommended here by a friend and was so impressed! Here’s why: Location: Don’t be fooled by its location on Aurora! The building is beautiful inside. Clean, warm, and modern. It was recently remodeled and everything looks state of the art. The free coffee in the front is also a plus! Dr. Tran and Jessica: Both were so welcoming and nice. Dr. Tran is humorous and easy to talk to. Both were extremely educational (didn’t know my saliva helps to regulate the ph balance in my mouth, which is why its important to use a fluoride rinse at night when saliva is at low production!) and professional. Both talked me through what they were doing and made sure I understood everything. Jessica made sure I was comfortable at all times and was super knowledgeable. She didn't even give me hard time for being a horrible flosser! Treatment: I received a cleaning and will be back for more work in the future. My appointment was easy to schedule and didn’t take long, about an hour and a half. Didn’t feel any pain and my teeth feel thoroughly cleaned. Prices/Specials: The office has monthly specials (whitening, fillings, etc) and is affordably priced. I don’t have dental insurance and am a college student, so both of these things are a must for me. All around I had a great experience and am so happy to have found a dentist that exceeds all of my requirements! Will definitely continue to recommend them to everyone.

This dentist's office tops any other I've had, ever. I was referred here by my old dentist up in Bellingham, WA, and I'm so glad! I've had cavities basically my whole life, and every single time I went to the dentist, it seemed like they were very eager to tell me I needed 4 or 5 more fillings. Granted, I didn't grow up with the *best* dental hygiene, but still! It was different with Dr. Curalli -- he definitely didn't seem super trigger-happy when it came to telling me I needed fillings straight off the bat, which I super appreciated. He's always been very clear and helpful in describing everything that's going to happen during an appointment, and the dental hygienists/assistants have all been very kind and good at their jobs as well. Jan (at the front desk) is amazing and very responsive; I have a primary and secondary insurance, neither of which is always very responsive, and she has been so patient and willing to deal with them for me, and for that I'm extremely grateful. I've already referred people here in person -- I'd recommend it for you too, if you're looking for another dentist! (I even decided to keep this dentist after I moved from SLU to the International District even though it takes me almost an hour to get there by bus -- it's worth it to me to stick with Dr. Curalli and Smile Ballard!)

Janet is terrific. My teeth are sparkling clean when done with no pain. I moved an hour away and still plan to see her. Thank you Janet!

I heart Oak Tree Dental Care! I recently moved from the neighborhood where Oak Tree is located and I now have to commute 20 miles to get there. I thought about asking for a local referral and then we all laughed because I'm not going anywhere. Worth the trip to be with these kind, gentle souls! Denise ( hygienist) is amazing, quick and I'm never sore after a cleaning from holding my mouth open. Dr. Taba answers all of my questions and Dr. Moin who I have seen also is wonderful & thorough.

Excellent in all areas, I've trusted Dr. Pickel and his staff for over 15 years and continue even thought I've moved out of the Seattle area.
