Southcenter Dental

Southcenter Dental is a well-established and highly-regarded dental clinic located in Tukwila, WA, serving the communities of Seattle, Renton, and Burien. With over three decades of experience, the practice is committed to providing comprehensive dental care that prioritizes patient comfort, individual needs, and overall oral health. The clinic offers a wide array of services, including general dentistry (cleanings, exams, fillings, root canals), cosmetic dentistry (teeth whitening, veneers, Invisalign, CEREC® single-visit crowns), and restorative procedures (dental implants, bridges, dentures). They also specialize in sedation dentistry, offering nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation to ensure a relaxed and anxiety-free experience, particularly for patients with dental phobias. Southcenter Dental distinguishes itself through its patient-centered approach. Their philosophy is rooted in the "Golden Rule," treating every patient with the same kindness, compassion, respect, and honesty they would expect for themselves and their families. The team, including dentists Dr. Jerome Baruffi and Dr. Austin Baruffi, and other skilled professionals like Esther (Scheduling Coordinator), Diana (Registered Dental Hygienist), and Tammy and Crystal (Registered Dental Assistants), are dedicated to building strong relationships with patients. They take time to understand individual goals and concerns, educating patients about their oral health and involving them in treatment decisions. The clinic boasts a modern facility equipped with advanced technology, such as digital X-rays, CEREC® CAD/CAM for same-day crowns, and potentially other diagnostic tools like Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) for precise 3D imaging (though this was explicitly linked to "Southcenter Modern Dentistry", some clinics might share technologies or concepts). This technological integration aims to enhance diagnostic accuracy, treatment efficiency, and patient comfort. Southcenter Dental also understands the importance of accessibility and affordability. They accept various dental insurance plans (including being in-network with Delta Dental), offer flexible financing options like CareCredit, and provide an in-house dental membership plan for patients without insurance, which includes discounts on procedures. Patient testimonials consistently highlight the friendly and professional nature of the staff, the comfortable and clean office environment, and the clinic's success in helping patients overcome dental anxiety. Many patients commend the team for their gentle approach, thorough explanations, and the feeling of being treated like family.
