I have horrible anxiety, especially at the dentist. I've had negative experiences at other Seattle dentist offices and was nervous going in for my cleaning yesterday. As soon as I sat down, I told the hygienist about my anxiety and she offered to bring me headphones, a blanket, and walked me through everything she needed to do. She also altered some of her techniques to make me feel comfortable. Dr. Daniel came in for my cleaning and was similarly supportive. We talked about my dental history and he gave me so much validation and assurance about my health. He was quick, gentle, and so kind. I have to return next month to get fillings and am not as nervous as I was before because I know this practice truly embodies gentle dental care. I wish I'd come here years ago but I'm glad to continue my dental care in their hands. read more

no dentist came by at all when I had teeth cleaning last week. I was wondering if that's how they do teeth cleaning from now on.

I forgot my appointment and was late for twenty mins. They said it was too late and I need to reschedule the appointment. The cancellation charge is $100 read more

Made an appointment for a basic checkup/cleaning. Elliott Bay Dental has... -Parking lot with plenty of spots -Clean, modern waiting area w/beverages -Professional and warm front desk -Thorough and wonderful dentist -Friendly dental hygienist It was such a good first visit experience. I've never had such a thorough & personable dentist, who explained everything in detail from going through the x-rays to the teeth cleaning. I appreciated her talking me through everything she was doing, and her making sure that I got all of my questions answered. I left with a goodie bag of floss & tooth brush plus homemade cookies- totally unexpected and a kind gesture! read more

The best dentist office OF ALL TIME. Trust me. I'm 33, I love sugar. I've had teeth pulled, cavities filled, braces, mouth guards, work done up the wazoo all over Seattle. And this office is THE DOPEST. Exhibit A -- they gave me a bag of cookies after my first visit. COOKIES. YES! Exhibit B -- they have the best selection of magazines of any office on Earth. Mags for dudes, mags for chicks. The only thing that would make it better is if they had Highlights from back in the day. Member those?! Exhibit C -- everything is pristine, like overly pristine. Chairs, carpet, bathrooms, light fixtures, snack fridge, everything. CLEAN Exhibit D -- the lady behind the desk used to collect comic books. 'Nuff said. Exhibit E -- The staff is HELLA nice. This office has it goin' on. As a sugar addict whose seen the lay of the land, trust me. read more

See all

Hands down the most incredibly amazing dentist visit I've ever had. I highly recommend Elliott Bay Dental to anyone in the Seattle area! This was more like a spa visit than a dentist appointment. The lobby is stocked with a fridge full of high-quality concessions, a Keurig machine, and even a cookie jar! Throughout the building wafts the smell of homemade chocolate chip cookies (of which all first time patrons receive a batch). Laura, the technician, took my x-rays and made me feel very at home. Besides the regular stuff, this office has all kinds of cool gadgets like a 360 degree x-ray scanner and DSLR camera to capture high fidelity images of your teeth. I should also mention that when you sit in the chair, they give you the most comfortable neck pillow to lay on and even a blanket if you want! Doctor Misty was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. She took quite some time to explain things about my own mouth that I never knew about. She even talked me through a proposed plan of procedures (with a reasonably priced payment plan). Julia, the hygienist, was also very kind and friendly. She has a very gentle touch and I learned some teeth-cleaning tricks from her, as well. read more

I've always had a lot of issues with my teeth & have been really nervous about getting any dental work done, so my friend referred me to Dr.Kim. Have to say him and his team (Lydia and Jacky) were incredible! He was super understanding of my general anxiety around going to the dentist, and I was able to get all of my work done in a super fast and painless session. read more

I had to change from my regular dentist (after many years) to Elliott Bay as my new insurance didn't cover him. Well, with misgivings I went for a couple of cleanings. I didn't want to like them but they were fabulous. So nice, customer service is great, funny (good humored). Explain everything before it happens. Today, I had to have a crown double dose of anesthesia as first dose wasn't good enough. No question of even trying with 1st dose based on my review of not numb enough. No pain involved. Not saying I loved it but I got through it. These guys are great and progressive with technique. Make their own crowns. So all done in one session. Highly recommend. Mostly because they are all so nice and informative. No surprises. read more

Love this office. I have been a patient for 3 years now and I have been extremely happy with their services. If you want a place that truly cares about their patients, and provides an excellent service--this is your dental office. Thank you to the entire staff of Elliot bay dental. Your the simply the best!! read more

Elliot Bay Dental is truly one of a kind. From the cookies they give you at your initial appointment to welcome you to the family, to the attention and care of the dental hygienists and assistants, I've never gone to a dental office that has treated me with as much care as Elliot Bay. Not to mention the short wait times, beautiful facilities and coffee station... I chose Elliott Bay because it is right next door to my orthodontist L&V but I can't help but feel like I struck gold in finding them. Definitely an office I recommend! read more

I chose this dental office because of convenient location and at the recommendation of a friend. I have spent many hours in dental offices over the past 30 years. I spend a lot of time clawing at the chair in anticipation of a drill hitting a nerve. It has been 10 years since my last visit. I went in for a cracked tooth. My situation requires removal of old silver filling, a mold made, a temporary installed. From entering the office to leaving the office, it took an hour. I did not expect that much work to be done that quickly. This is a modern facility that uses modern imagery (no waiting for X-ray processing). My doctor's name was John Y. Kim, DDS. At all points in the visit, they are able to provide financial estimates. No shock. read more

EBD has the best team. Drs and all staff are very nice and professional. I had emergency and they got me in quickly and fixed the problem. The office is modern and conveniently located with spacious parking lot. You should also give it a try. You will thank me later! read more

I went to my first exam and cleaning at Elliot Bay Dental. Misty and her assistant conducted the appointment. I have sensitive teeth and they really took the extra time and care to make sure I wasn't in any discomfort. The office is very nice and friendly. I highly recommend this practice. I will be back. read more

Had my checkup with Juliya and Dr Kim. Giselle had me checked in quickly and made my wife and I feel very welcome. The dream team got me in and out comfortably and quickly. Best dental experience! read more

Elliott Bay Dental - Julia, THE best hygienist in town! Giselle got me checked in and the dream team got it done. Thanks yo! - General Dentistry Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is next level. The staff was friendly and the office was very clean. Most of all, I was nervous and Jyl made me feel so comfortable! She made me laugh and the whole experience was very professional. read more

I absolutely love everything about this place! Every staff member is so nice, Dr. Kim was positively wonderful and the facility itself is impeccably clean. First off, they give you fresh-baked cookies upon your first visit. Cookies! At the dentist! After that, you'll notice the funny and helpful staff and the very clean surroundings you're in. The bathroom, while unrelated to anything about teeth, is very nice, modern and has all of little things you'd need if you weren't able to prep for your visit. The exam rooms are also modern, making you feel quickly at ease instead of just waiting to hear the humming of a drill next to your face. Dr. Kim is so wonderful at explaining your options, steps of procedures and is nice to talk to overall. Something that seems to be lacking at your average dentist. I had two visits there after being initially referred here by a friend a month prior. The receptionist and Dr. Kim both remembered my friend when I was making my initial appointment and remembered details about us both during those visits. They even remembered me when I called in to cancel my check up appointment 6 months later. This is the first dentist that has been enjoyable to be at, mostly due to the friendly staff and ease of conversation with Dr. Kim as well as the other employees. I would definitely recommend this dentist, even if you're not looking for a new one! read more

This is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. I live in Bellevue and drive to Seattle just to go to this dentist. Dr. John Kim always takes great care of my teeth. He has a very natural approach and a "if it ain't broke don't fix it" attitude. Other dentists are quick to drill and so I appreciate him not doing work that doesn't need to be done. He is very professional but also super laid back and takes time to talk to patients. I never felt rushed or like they needed to get the next appointment. Everyone there seems like they enjoy their job. The staff is very friendly and always welcoming. I'm always surprised when I come in and people remember me by name. The location is also excellent, parking is always available and I can even grab some good dinner or lunch after my appointment. My favorite part about this clinic is how clean and modern it is. Plus the coffee, Izze sodas, Wi-Fi and fresh oven baked cookies area always waiting when I arrive. read more

I am so glad I found Elliot Bay Dental! I was searching for a new dentist, and was impressed with their beautiful, clean facility and friendly staff. I have now had appointments with both Dr. John and Dr. Misty and they are both incredibly nice and gentle when working on my teeth. Great location, clean and modern facilities, great staff, and free parking. Everyone who works there is genuinely kind and I have had a great experience so far! read more

Number 1 - they give you free cookies! Number 2 - Dr Kim and Dr Misty are awesome! I love going here and have had quite a bit done unfortunately. The office staff are super sweet and very welcoming. They treat you family here and always take time out with me to walk through procedures, plans, uncertainties, etc. Going to the dentist isn't that Bad after all...as long as you go to the right one! Go here, get sparkly, be happy and don't forget about those bomb cookies :) read more

This is one of the best dental experiences I've ever had. I arrived to a big parking lot, and then entered a super cute, modern clinic. All the staff was super caring, gentle, informative, thorough and skilled. They even tucked me in with a blanket and pillow. I had zero pain during my cleaning - even on my most sensitive teeth - and my teeth look sparkly now. I saw Dr. Misty and would definitely recommend her, and this entire clinic. read more

It's not just the stylish, comfortable waiting room. It's not just the ample -free- parking lot. It's not just the plentiful beverage and magazine choices, or the convenient office hours and scheduling flexibility, or even the fresh baked cookies they give you. Every service given, from my initial scheduling phone call to being greeted on arrival to x-rays, the exam, the conversation with Dr. Misty - all the way thru to check out and scheduling my next cleaning - was impeccable. Everyone is so genuine and kind, respectful, knowledgeable, and treated me like a person instead of cattle. As a rule, no one likes going to the dentist. This is the exception to that rule. read more

I hadn't been to a dentist for close/over ten years. My wisdom tooth on the right side of my mouth was not doing well. It had deteriorated badly. Last week my years of neglect caught up with me and I was in acute pain. Rolling on the floor fetal wishing someone would just shoot me. Awful place to be in. I managed to swallow some Pain meds and Yelped the closes dental offices to my house. This came up. The person I spoke to on the phone was incredibly kind and understanding and had me booked for a 7am appointment the next morning. I arrived to an immaculate office with its own parking. The intake form was pretty straight forward and I completed it in a few minutes. The premises can't be more than a few years old. It also smelt of cookies (I confirmed that they bake them fresh on premise as I though my pain was making me barmy.) The back of the of premises where the real work takes place is also spick and span. The staff are all uniformed and friendly, the equipment looks like it was bought in fresh that morning. Amazing. They took an x-Ray of my mouth and made a referral to Seattle Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (highly recommended) for teeth extraction. I loved going there, and told my wife she should also go as she is overdue a visit. read more

I've never had a dental experience this good and EBD is one of a kind. Had a first appointment and at no point did I feel taken advantage of (as dentist in the past were like car mechanics, saying you need this and that). Today though was the icing on the cake. I had a filling put in and I was brought back a few mins. before my appointment, in the chair, doc welcomed me, put the novocaine in, got to work, kept asking if I was ok and well, and in less than 15 minutes, I was done. Zero pain, zero issues. Was then worried that with dinnertime very soon, the novocaine would not wear off. It wore off in less than 40 minutes, again, no pain, no issues. It was the most efficient filling I think ever in the history of fillings, at least for me. Can't recommend this office enough, they're awesome. read more

Had my teeth whitened today and couldn't be happier with the results. Came in towards the end of the day and I was promptly greeted by Ava who was really friendly. My appointment started right on time and everything went really smoothly. Delina and Laura made sure I was comfortable getting prepped for the whitening and they were so professional throughout. Got everything finished on time with no issues. Would definitely recommend to others! read more

Everyone was so nice and warm and welcoming. They are very generous: coffee and tea and granola bars, lots of free toothpaste samples and even warm cookies for my first visit!! Super gentle on my mouth. Kind to my heart. I'll be back and spread the word!!! read more

The dental hygienists have always been great, but over my multiple years of going here, the front desk has made mistakes on 3 bills and one appointment time. However, after the front desk was aggressive and demanded that I sign off on treatment I wasn't quite ready for, I've decided to call it quits. There are plenty of dentists in the city. As for dental work, I'm getting a second opinion on work that needs done. That's not to suggest that they weren't correct in their diagnosis. I'm simply doing due diligence for a serious but not life threatening operation. I'm just surprised how confrontational the front desk was about that. read more

I HATE going to the dentist, I came here from putting off a toothache for over a month. Definitely learned my lesson with holding off on that. From the beginning, every single staff member was attentive and kind. They made me feel at ease, and being afraid of going sounds so silly now. They walked me through the steps, made sure to ask every 5 minutes with my root canal if I was ok and was extremely professional. I will be recommending this place to anyone looking for a great dental office. read more

I called around to 6 or 7 offices on a Friday morning because I had a broken tooth and most were closed or not able to accommodate an urgent visit. Elliott Bay was able to see me within 90 minutes. Their office is clean and modern and in a plaza with a kids' dentist and an orthodontist office. Easy parking. The entire staff was friendly and warm and Dr. Jaimie got me that temporary help I needed and made sure I was comfortable and understood my options. On my way out reception gave me a bag of cookies to "welcome me to the family." I have been wanting to change dental offices and will definitely be making the switch. read more

Everyone loves a trip to the dentist - said no one ever. But since an annual trip (or more, if you get a bunch of cavities like me) is part and parcel of being a responsible adult, come here when it's your time to go. The office itself is in a great location, clean and modern. Every part of the experience, from booking to cleaning was painless. They are great at explaining all the things they are doing and checking in to see if you are comfortable (need a blanket?, another rinse?, you need a break before the next bite wing x-ray?). All the staff were great, from receptionist, dental assistants and my dentist, Dr. Misty. They are also co located next to a dendodontist and pediatric dentists if you should need those services. read more

These guys are great! I needed a new dentist and used to drive by their office every morning so one day I decided to set up an appointment. The staff is SO friendly and personable. I love how welcoming(and clean) the office and everyone is! As they're working, they're constantly letting you know what's going on and are happy to answer any questions and make you feel as comfortable as possible. Another great perk: your privacy! I've always had a private room so not everyone can see what the dentists are working on. I can't rave enough about these folks! I recommend all of my friends go here. read more

I really don't like going to the dentist, but, somehow i love coming here. The interior is gorgeous. Easy parking lot. Front desk staff is super friendly and accommodating. The dentist is so kind and does such a good job explaining everything. The work they do is also very fast and efficient. Early hours are convenient for a 9-5'er. They gave me yummy cookies on my first visit. I could keep listing off nice things about this place. The best! read more

Gave Elliot Bay Dental a chance after strong recommendations from several friends. After the initial check up and interacting with the doctors and staff, I knew I was going to switch my care over. I went in again today for a cleaning and I felt so comfortable from beginning to end! I love the facility (so clean!) and the staff (so friendly!) I have already recommended this place to my friends and family. I love this place! read more

I just finished my first visit with Dr Kim and his team. I can't recommend them highly enough. From the time you enter the waiting room til the time you exit, you are treated by an extremely professional and highly competent staff. The office is pristine and is thoroughly modern. I was impressed by everyone I interacted with. If you are looking for a new dental practice, start by checking out, Elliott Bay Dental. I guarantee you won't need to look any further. read more

Had to have a temporary crown and cap out on today. Not my favorite thing to have a Needle in my mouth but the doc kept asking me if I was ok. That was reassuring. Normally dentist just ask nothing even when your jaw is locking up. Whew...done for two weeks read more

Yes they give you chocolate chip cookies and treat you like you matter. They have beautiful modern offices and the latest equipment including water assisted cleaning tools to make cleaning so fast and painless. The dentist was patient and friendly and didn't try and upsell me. Found my Seattle dentist! Highly recommend! read more

Can't say enough great things about this place. I have terrible dentist anxiety, which resulted in a few years of avoiding the dentist all together. By the time I went, I needed some substantial work done. Dr. Misty is great. She takes time to explain procedures, is gentle, patient and has wonderful bedside manner (something you don't always get at the dentist). Making an appointment is easy, I never get put on hold, and get calls back in an efficient manner. read more

Dr. Kim has been my dentist for the past couple of years, and I am so happy I chose this place! I even had my husband switch dentists to come here. Dr. Kim is so thorough, consciousness, and does a great job educating his patients. Shout out to Julia, who is a stellar hygienist, and I hope she never leaves! The waiting area is always well stocked with various drinks and granola bar snacks, with plenty of the latest magazines. They also gift new clients with a welcome bag of fresh chocolate chip cookies! read more
