I LOVE THIS DENTAL OFFICE! Kristi was the first person I spoke with when making an appt and she was so friendly and personable. She actually made me want to go to the dentist. . . Kerri (not sure on spelling) was such a wonderful person to take my rays and get me settled. I was quite nervous to be there and she made me feel very comfortable and welcomed.

Dr. Smith was funny and knowledgeable. I needed a referral for some other dental work and Kerri and Kristi called the other office while i was still there and got me in an hour later! When has that ever happened!? Anita was also very friendly at the front desk. I am now switching my husband and daughter here. Thank you all:)

I've been going to the same dentist since I was 4 years old and stuck with them mostly out of familiarity and laziness. After my dentist retired and a new dentist bought her business, I decided the long drive wasn't worth it anymore for the overall experience and started to look elsewhere. I tried a new clinic in Tacoma at the end of 2019 and was sorely (literally and figuratively) disappointed. After putting it off for 8 months I finally decided to try a new location - Dentistry NW.

Best decision ever!! The entire experience was completely top notch and it pretty much redefined for me what going to the dentist should be like. My dental hygienist Joni was amazing and gave me tips and insight on preventative care like I've never had before. She was super gentle with my sensitive teeth and made sure I knew that she was taking notes in their system so no matter who I get next time I'll receive the same level of care. Dr.

Smith and the rest of the team were all really warm and friendly as well, and although most of our interactions were brief I felt really welcome and taken care of. They even gave me a little new patient gift bag alongside the standard toothbrush/floss/toothpaste bag. Thank you for the great experience Dentistry NW!! I can't say I've ever really looked forward to going to the dentist, but I've definitely never felt less dreadful about my next visit 😄

I just had two (massive) fillings done today and I gotta say, I am so impressed with these guys. literally everyone at this office is great. from the front desk staff to the hygienists to the techs, I've never been made to feel anything but welcome. they even asked me if I wanted a blanket to stay warm during the procedure (which was much appreciated bc I'm always cold).

and the work the dentist does is GREAT. my teeth feel and look so much better (I think one of my teeth was more than half gone, and now it looks as good as new). I could not say enough good things about these guys.
