Detailed Introduction

Tacoma Dental Village, led by Dr. Robin E. Jones, DDS, is a dental clinic located at 4036 S Pine St, Tacoma, WA 98409. Dr. Jones has dedicated over 30 years to practicing what she terms "community dentistry" in the Puget Sound area, both locally and internationally through her non-profit work. Her practice is deeply rooted in "old school values" and a direct approach to dental care, emphasizing culturally appropriate services delivered with care and compassion. The clinic's philosophy is to serve those in need and assist with proper referrals, often treating patients who have struggled to find dental care elsewhere. They cater to a diverse patient base, including children and adults with special needs and disabilities, immigrants regardless of their immigration status, seniors, and individuals experiencing homelessness. Beyond her private practice, Dr. Robin Jones founded the Children's International Health Relief (CIHR) Nonprofit Organization in 2001. The mission of CIHR is to improve healthcare for needy families, and through its Dental Village Outreach Program, it actively addresses oral health disparities, promotes oral health equity, and improves access to dental care, including providing free dental care to low-income, uninsured, and under-insured individuals. Tacoma Dental Village offers a wide range of dental treatments and services, including family dentistry, pediatric dentistry, emergency dentistry, and specialized care for patients with special needs. They also provide general anesthesia both in-office and at hospitals when required. Dr. Jones's commitment extends to her community roots in Tacoma's Hilltop neighborhood, where her formative experiences shaped her dedication to serving vulnerable populations. She is known for her efforts to provide free dentistry to those without coverage, a commitment that led to the creation of CIHR. The clinic operates with an "it takes a village" attitude, treating patients like family in a fun and friendly environment.

Dr. Robin Jones is the best dentist you will ever find in the PNW. She has been my dentist for years. I was shocked to see a single negative review about her.

But if you are a person who expects a dentist to care about perception or anything except being serious about providing comprehensive, quality, holistic dental care then you should not come to Dr. Jones. Her office is very clean and sanitary and her staff that have been referenced in a few negative reviews as unhappy and abused, have been with her for decades and they all look after each other like family from my perspective. For anyone to say she is rude must come from a culture that doesn't have experience with strong, intelligent feminine leaders.

My grandmother was a lot like Dr. Jones and many people who were raised in cultures that are coddling wouldn't understand the type of woman who shows love and attention through action and is genuine in their dealings to the point they are not concerned with a person's perception who would never try to understand them anyway.

I love who Dr. Robin is as a person and the good she brings to the world. I feel safe with her, and I know she will fight for my dental needs.

She made a temporary partial denture and they were beautiful, strong, and fit perfectly! She often teaches so some staff is in training - be patient and relax, you are in good hands. Hands down, my favorite dentist ever! Even better quality than other (expensive) fancy officed dentists I've been to.

We love Dr. Robin Jones! I was Grinding my teeth so bad and she gave me a mouth guard and it’s been life changing! I’m not getting as many migraines now. She remembers everything about the patient.

I’m a single mother and she even lets me bring my kids and has her staff watch them while I get Dental work done! Hopefully I never have to change dentists again! Her staff rocks too! Thank you Dr. Jones I sincerely appreciate you !!!
