Willamette Dental Group - Mountlake Terrace

Willamette Dental Group - Mountlake Terrace is a specific location of the broader Willamette Dental Group, a well-established dental organization with over 50 offices across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Founded in 1970, the group has pioneered a unique integrated delivery model that combines comprehensive dental care with an in-house insurance structure. This approach aims to provide high-quality, evidence-based dentistry while maintaining affordability and transparency for patients. The Mountlake Terrace clinic, like other Willamette Dental Group locations, offers a full spectrum of dental services. These include preventative dentistry (comprehensive exams, digital x-rays, oral cancer screenings, cleanings, sealants, personalized care plans), restorative treatments (fillings, crowns, dental implants, bridges, dentures), and various specialty services such as pediatric dentistry, orthodontics (traditional braces and Invisalign), endodontics (root canals), and oral & maxillofacial surgery. They utilize modern digital technologies, including electronic health records, digital radiography, CBCT scans, and 3D printing for dental appliances. Willamette Dental Group's philosophy emphasizes proactive and preventative care, aiming to break the "disease-repair cycle" by focusing on long-term oral health and patient education. Their dentists are salaried and rewarded for patient health outcomes and positive experiences, rather than for selling high-priced procedures, which fosters a patient-first approach with no upselling. They prioritize research-backed methods and continuous improvement in their practices, with initiatives like The Skourtes Institute dedicated to advancing oral health through research and education. Patients benefit from predictable copays, no annual maximums or deductibles for many plans, and a consistent care team.
