Willamette Dental Group - Everett

Willamette Dental Group - Everett is a branch of the broader Willamette Dental Group, a prominent integrated dental care organization with locations across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Founded over 55 years ago by Dr. Eugene Skourtes, the group revolutionized dental care by focusing on preventive care and long-term oral health rather than the traditional fee-for-service model. As a clinic within this larger group, Willamette Dental Group - Everett provides comprehensive dental services under one roof, often coupled with their own prepaid dental insurance plans. This integrated model aims to simplify dental care, offer predictable costs with no annual maximums or deductibles for plan members, and emphasize preventive treatment to ensure long-term oral health. Services offered at Willamette Dental Group - Everett include: Preventative Dentistry: Comprehensive exams, digital X-rays, oral cancer screenings, caries and periodontal risk assessments, oral hygiene instruction, tobacco cessation counseling, dental cleanings, and sealants. They utilize advanced methods like Caries Management by Risk Assessment (CAMBRA®) and Periodontal Management by Risk Assessment (PEMBRA®). Restorative Dentistry: Dental fillings, crowns (including digitally scanned and milled ceramic crowns), dental implants, bridges, and dentures (including 3D printed dentures). Specialty Services: Endodontics (root canals), orthodontics (traditional braces and Invisalign®), oral and maxillofacial surgery, and periodontics. They also offer pediatric dentistry, with some offices having specialized pediatric dentists. Digital Technologies: Electronic dental health records, digital radiography, Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), 3D printed night guards, and surgically guided implant technology. Emergency Care: In-person emergency appointments are often available same-day or next-day during regular office hours, with on-call providers for phone consultations after hours. Willamette Dental Group's care philosophy centers on evidence-based dentistry, focusing on a proactive approach to prevent disease and promote overall well-being. Their dentists are compensated based on patient care, satisfaction, and oral health improvement, rather than solely on the number of procedures performed. The organization also supports The Skourtes Institute, a non-profit foundation dedicated to advancing oral health through research, scholarships, and community building.
