The clinic offers a comprehensive suite of dental services, emphasizing preventive care to maintain optimal oral health. These services include routine dental exams, professional teeth cleanings, oral cancer screenings for adults, and fluoride treatments for children. Beyond prevention, 253 Dental Care provides a wide array of restorative treatments to address existing dental issues. This includes dental fillings for minor decay, dental crowns for more significant damage (with same-day CEREC crown options available), dental bridges, and advanced solutions for missing teeth like dental implants and custom-fit dentures.

For patients seeking to enhance their smiles, 253 Dental Care offers various cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as teeth whitening, porcelain crowns, dental sealants, and dental veneers & bonding. They also provide emergency dental services, prioritizing urgent appointments for conditions like knocked-out teeth or severe pain. A hallmark of 253 Dental Care is their commitment to utilizing leading-edge dental technology to ensure safe, fast, and effective results. Their advanced equipment includes intraoral cameras for detailed imaging, digital X-rays for reduced radiation and instant results, CEREC CAD/CAM for same-day crowns, Diagnodent lasers for early detection of decay, soft tissue lasers for gum treatments, 3D imaging, 3D printing, and Cone Beam CT scans for comprehensive diagnostics and surgical planning. This technological integration aims to improve patient comfort, reduce procedure times, and enhance treatment outcomes. The philosophy of 253 Dental Care revolves around providing the necessary dentistry with minimal intervention, focusing on patient education to empower informed decisions. They strive to create a comfortable, relaxed, and pain-free environment, embodying a core principle that Dr. Walker wouldn't perform any treatment he wouldn't undergo himself. Patients consistently praise the friendly, knowledgeable, and caring staff, noting their ability to explain treatment plans thoroughly and accommodate needs.

All my life I have visited dentists but non compares to how thorough and well experienced as 253 Dental. The time spent checking my teeth before anything just really felt great and gave me peace of mind that I am getting the best service. Thank you Dr Wang for being welcoming and providing the best. Will definitely recommend to all my friends

Have been waiting to have more dental work done here before I posted, so I’m almost there w the major work at 253 Dental. Dr. Walker and the 253 Dental staff are excellent in terms of their knowledge and skills. They are thorough, kind, accommodating, and professional. I’m impressed that Dr. Walker keeps up with the newest dental technologies and that he lets his patients see proof of what he finds through several photos fr an intra-oral camera and 3D X-rays. (My Tx dentist had a 3D X-ray machine, but it wasn’t as advanced as Dr. Walker’s. ) The 253 office is very clean and a dental asst escorts me to the back for dental work almost immediately when I enter.

In July (a few months ago) I moved here to Washington State fr being a patient of my Tx dentist for over 20 years. The 253 Dental office took videos and photos of my teeth and excellent X-rays, revealing 3 huge cavities under my crowns and obvious signs of me grinding my teeth. The 253 staff filled the cavities & replaced the 3 crowns, and repaired the huge chips from me grinding my teeth; today they fitted a mouth guard to wear to prevent further chips and cracks. And the tooth with the crown that was under “a watch” for 3+ years? Well, it needed a root canal and the root was totally dead. Had the root canal done 2 wks ago. Dr. Walker explained that one can have cavities without one experiencing tooth and mouth pains and that grinding one’s teeth at night doesn’t always result in jaw pain and headaches in the morning. I’m so glad Dr. Walker is my dentist! I especially like that he and his dental assistants take time during exams to show clear proof of their findings in images and to present the results in everyday language.

So many dentists do quick exams and use numbers and words only their assistants who are writing down the findings can understand, e. g. , xxx buckle on #14, class one canine with xxx, etc. Not so w Dr. Walker! His exams are to show you, the patient, what’s going on w your teeth and for he and his staff to triangulate the data. It’s not that other dentists and staff are bad. I think instead they might not have up-to-date training.

Had a slight emergency was able to get right in and have the work done same day. Gentle and caring and informative, especially for this big baby. 2nd review~ just want to say 253 Dental is an amazing place from the front desk to the techs, hygienist, and dentists.

They're friendly, professional, caring, gentle, patient and easy. Going to the dentist is a pleasant experience for me now, and that is a huge step up from past dental experiences. 🤩

This office was so welcoming and felt like home from the moment I walked in. They were helpful and resourceful because of previous dental injuries and gave me the resources to move forward in my oral fitness mission. They have all the modern comfort tools and devices and most importantly they care. Kara is a Saint. This place will be brighten your idea of the dentist.
