I've had a great experience with Ty and the gang. Everyone is friendly and nice. Ty has a more thoughtful approach than any other dentist I've ever been to. He explains things clearly and simply, but can go deeper if you'd like. We've had some relatively lengthy discussions of, say, how our current world does not map well to our evolutionary past and how that mismatch affects our teeth. And he was also a useful and objective thought partner in thinking through a jaw surgery I ended up having. read more

Following a period of "dental work denial" that lasted longer than I am willing to admit, I was pointed in the direction of Etheridge Family Dentistry by not one...not two...but by three friends. With kind and empathetic support from my first point of contact, Rose, I jumped into the deep end of the dental pool and vigorously addressed (far too many) years of deferred maintenance...with no shaming or judgment. I truly cannot imagine better care. Everything about my experiences over the past two years (from cleanings to crowns to Invisalign orthodontia) has been exceptional. Dr. Ty and his professional and personable team are first class. I owe my dental health and dazzling new smile to them. Would rate them an 8/5 if I could! read more

Dr. Ty is the best dentist I've had hands down. He and his team provide highly personalized care and listen and respond to my concerns. After years of deferring, I finally went through the Invisalign process. I wish I had done it sooner because I'm very happy with the results. The office staff are also very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Ty and his staff likely added years to my life. I was in denial of seeing a doctor for an annual physical check-up for years, actually over a decade. I did see Dr Ty for dental health and their check on my blood pressure before every cleaning became a persistent message that I really couldn't ignore. While I first found the lectures to see a doctor annoying, the final decision point came when Etheridge Dentistry would not proceed with an implant procedure until I had my blood pressure reduced. A year later, I've seen a doctor, I am now taking medicine to reduce my hereditary high blood pressure and making efforts to lower my salt intake. Dr. Ty cares about your health and that care extends beyond dental health. read more

Dr Ty Etheridge was referred to me by one of the top orthodontics practices on the west coast for a composite build-out for my front two incisor teeth and I couldn't be happier with the results and my experience from start to finish. Two things stand out about Dr Ty.... 1.) He is truly a master of his craft--my new incisor teeth look and feel completely natural. He spent hours creating/blending the color of them so that they integrate seamlessly with the rest of my front teeth. If I had a penny for every compliment on my teeth/ smile I've received in the last two weeks from random people I interact with, I'd have easily enough $ to buy my next Bumble date the item of her choosing from McDonald's 99 Cent Menu. 2. He really cares about his patients and it shines through before and after your visit. Dr. Ty was incredibly accessible before and after the procedure and has called/texted me several times to check up on me, see how I'm doing, how the new incisors are settling in and gather feedback. Great Guy. Great Dentist. Highly Recommend. read more

Unfortunately it's time to write this review. I was a patient here for many years. While at first I was happy with services, as soon as I started to need larger procedures, things were not great. I suffered many issues over the years including having my entire left side (eye included) of my face numb during a procedure when it was supposed to be localized in my gums, leaving me seeing double and confused and dazed. I had a crown in too tight and had to revisit to have it filed down. Even still, I was stupid enough to be willing to go back. COVID hit and my appointment was cancelled, I assumed it would be but I Received no communication, their website wasn't updated, nothing. They rescheduled without checking with me and when I cancelled they proceeded to CHARGE me $75. During a pandemic. For an apt that they booked for me. This is both cheap and dangerous! I will not have my health be associated with an office that can't spare one apt during a pandemic. Are they also charging people who cancel because they have COVID? Seems like a good way to encourage people to come to their appointment sick! Seek care elsewhere. read more

Dr. Ty and his office are superstars! I've been seeing Dr. Ty for almost a decade, when I arrived at his practice I had severe dental anxiety, and a mouth full of decaying dental work from over a decade of not visiting a dentist. My teeth look great now! They have been so kind, efficient, professional, and finally I have a smile that shows my teeth. I recommend Dr. Ty to every friend who is looking for a dentist, they are awesome. read more

Dr. Ty is AMAZING! Over the holidays he helped me navigate a broken tooth; set me up with a root canal specialist; and put on a crown on the broken tooth, all seamlessly. I will always remember the kindness of him and his staff during such a stressful time! All of his hygienists and front office staff are kind and attentive, and are great at communicating cost PRIOR to your service. They also take CareCredit. 10 Stars for Dr. Ty!! read more

I've always had a slight and impractical fear of the dentist; I realized that this was mostly due to the way I was treated as a person. I don't have a very good dental record and have needed several fillings and I always felt like I was being rushed through a cold, heartless system. Thankfully, Etheridge Family Dentistry is nothing like that! I popped in here having no idea of what it would be like. I came out shocked at how well the staff treated me. Everyone I interacted with was helpful, warm and friendly. The nurse and Dr. Ty made me feel more comfortable than I've ever felt at the dentist office. Dr. Ty was very thorough and honest about my dental situation and made sure to go through all the images and scans of my mouth in order to help me understand exactly what is going on. Part of what makes this a great place is the atmosphere; it's kind of zen-like. Soft lighting and a comfy dental chair make the experience easier. They even offer a great movie selection for you when having a longer cleaning or other work done. (Die Hard got me through my first cleaning). I've been here for several follow ups and have received the same great treatment each time. I highly recommend this place. Just be sure to arrive a little earlier since it can be tough to find parking in the area. read more

I came into Dr. Ty's office right after it opened (almost 4 years ago!?). I actually went there only because I really needed a dentist and I got a flier from them in the mail. I think that I will never get so lucky responding to direct mail again. Dr. Ty is an amazing dentist. He's careful, honest, direct, and incredibly skillful. The hygienists are great as well. The office itself isn't sterile or dull. It's well decorated, not painted white, and huge beautiful photos fill the walls. Dr. Ty is into dental technology and his office has the latest and greatest stuff. I appreciate it solely for the geek factor, but it really does allow them to give you better care. Digital x-rays that you can look it right after they take them, CNC-milled-while-you-wait 3/4 crowns, etc. Amazing stuff. Also, they are open late some nights. Update: At some point Dr. Ty's office started calling me to remind me of my appointments multiple times, even though I'd never missed a single one or even been more than 10 minutes late. Also, they were rather aggressive about trying to schedule extra cleanings, and were fairly rude when I tried to cancel one. Lastly, they aren't on my new insurance's preferred provider list, so I no longer go there. Overall I still think Dr. Ty is a really great dentist, and I was fairly confused when his office started behaving the way they did. I bet you'd be happy if you go there. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Ty for a couple of years now. He is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. Walking into his office, you are greeted warmly by his staff. The office is beautiful and welcoming and Dr. Ty is simply awesome. I was not a fan of the dentist and had not been to a dentist in several years before coming into see Dr. Ty. He makes me feel very relaxed and comfortable, does a great job of communicating what needs to be done and the "why" behind it. I have had several old fillings replaced and just completed my invisalign treatment with veeners and my teeth look AMAZING! I am so happy with the smile he has given me. I simply cannot sing his praises enough! I still have some filings that need to be replaced and I have no hesitation in getting the work done as I know Dr. Ty and his staff will take great care of me. He is simply the best. Oh and chair side Netflix...is an added bonus! read more

Etheridge Family Dentistry - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Dr. Ty & his team will do all they can to accommodate your dental requests and goals. I have never known such a customer-service oriented dentist! Share with him your concerns about your teeth, and he will do all he can to achieve happiness for you. The office is beautiful, state-of-the-art, impecabbly clean and easy to find. Their staff is friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable, and appts always run on time. Perhaps most impressive, my kids love going to the dentist, because Dr. Ty makes it fun, and not scary in the least. It also helps that he has kids' movies for them to watch while their teeth are being cleaned! We even use Dr. Ty as a motivational tool for keeping our teeth clean (at home), because the kids don't want to disappoint him! I'm so glad we found Dr. Ty & his incredible team... we'll be with him for life. read more

I LOVE Etheridge Family Dentistry. Dr. Ty makes the experience so easy. I have never feared going to the dentist, but it's never been my favorite thing to do, but now it's actually fun! his staff is amazing, and so friendly. the fact that he's open in the EVENINGS is fantastic. the office is gorgeous and just a pleasure to be in. My whole family goes to Dr. Ty, and all my nephews (3, 5, 7) are not afraid of the dentist at ALL. they talk about "sugar bugs" (cavities) all the time, and trying to impress Dr. Ty with their clean teeth all the time! He really has a gift for people of all ages. I literally walk around with a stack of his cards to hand out to anyone looking for a new dentist, I love that place so much! read more

Dr. Ty and his staff are quite wonderful with their patients. We took my 7 year-old for his first exam since we've returned to Madison Park (having lived in Ja Jolla for 4 years). He remembered our son from his visit when he was just about to turn 3. He was great interacting with our little guy and our entire family has switched to using Dr. Ty. Originally, I was going to pick another dentist in Madison Park, but after this visit, I'm convinced Dr. Ty's office will be the best choice. The practice is state of the art and his staff invests a lot of energy into knowing all of the information about their patients, dental trends and developing relationships with the community. Dr. Ty is a generous supporter of many issues in Madison Park, which is always nice to see. read more

I've experienced dental practices elsewhere. I first was seen by Dr Etheridge when he was in practice with another dentist in Woodinville, almost 20 years ago. I found him when I returned after 6 years on the east coast. I'm glad I did. He has managed to assemble an amazing staff, the from receptionists at front desk to the several hygienists (I have been seen by 3 of them). I have been wonderfully taken care of by all. The feel like my team rather than a practice. Even walking into the office has a different easy feel to it. I've had a few cavities, a few teeth needing root canals. Nobody likes to experience these, I'm sure. But, "Dr. Ty" and his team are personable, capable, efficient, caring and empathetic. They let me know what was going on and what was to be expected next. My oral health is significantly improved. In one very unusual situation, across 6 years, Dr. Ty was actually monitoring (with specific X-rays and inspection at every visit), a tooth that had been damaged by another dentist some time ago. But rather than being hasty to take action, while none was needed, none was done. As this tooth was otherwise ok, lacked any pain or other indications, and seemed to be stable, no. hasty action was taken. But, when things suddenly and surprisingly took a turn for the worse between checkups, a plan of specific action was quickly established and executed. This was done in concert with his colleague, Dr. On, the periodontist. ALL was resolved over several well choreographed visits, in house, and beautifully so. I cannot say enough good about Dr Oh, Dr. Ty Etheridge and Dr. Ty's entire staff. read more

Dr. Ty is absolutely amazing! All of the staff are wonderful and friendly! I have always hated going to the dentist but they make me feel comfortable when I'm there. read more

I wish I could give more stars! this office is amazing!!! I always feel like I'm walking into a spa rather than a dentist office. the entire staff is wonderful, but Dr ty especially is phenomenal. I am super nervous about going to the dentist and have avoided it at all costs for years. Dr ty is so kind and comforting and best of all really knows his stuff. as much as I hate going to the dentist, I honestly don't mind it a bit when going to this office. you will be well taken care of and they make u feel like one of the family. 11/10 Will get cleaned again! read more

We've been seeing Dr Ty for nearly 2 decades and can't recommend him enough. If you or your child has sensory issues, this is the office for you! The environment is very soothing and the low lights, video, audio, and sedation dentistry option is the best. Truly. I told him today he's ruined me for every other provider because everything about their practice is patient centered--from lip balm to blankets to constant checking to see if the patient is doing okay. When our kids were little, they would get mad at me when I had an appointment without them! If you're looking for a soothing dental experience, check out Dr Ty. Well worth the drive across town. read more

---------- Update May 2014 ------------ Years after my initial experience I'm still going to Dr. Ty, I still think he's an amazing dentist and if I ever moved away from Seattle would probably fly back to have him do any major detail procedures. My original review seems to have been demoted on Yelp so I'll say this: outside of the dental office I am not friends with Dr. Ty or his family, nor have I been paid to write a good review. I also have no affiliation with Care Credit, I was just pleased to be able to use that service at EFD as it is not possible to use it everywhere. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Ty Etheridge is a "5 star chef" of dentistry. I had an accident on a Sunday where my front tooth got knocked out. A friend of mine recommended him and called on my behalf to get an appointment, and he squeezed me in the next day! Not to mention, he returned her call from his personal phone, at the airport, on his way home from a trip. Ty is very skilled and thorough, taking care to explain the procedure and the reasoning behind his recommendations. I can tell that he's honest, making my well being the priority. During my first visit he matched the color and size of my tooth to create a temporary cap so I could leave the office that day with a tooth. He did such a good job, none of my friends can tell I have a fake tooth, and neither can I. Ty and his staff are down to earth and personable. They make the extra effort to create an enjoyable, calm atmosphere. I was pretty nervous about the whole situation because I didn't have health insurance at the time. Fortunately his office takes Care Credit which was a big help to me. I've had great dentists but Ty goes above and beyond. I speak from my own experience and from the rave reviews of my friends who have gone to him for everything from regular cleaning to replacing entire teeth. read more

Receptionists *never* answer the phone. You need to call them three to five times to get anythign scheduled. There are many, many other better dentists in the area. read more

Super impressed with Dr Ty and his staff - he's embarking on sorting out some bad dental work done by another dentist in town and his honesty, approach and work are just great read more

Dr. Ty has been our family dentist for a couple of years now and he is great!! His team is very warm and professional. The front office staff are very welcoming, lovely people. Dr. Ty has also worked with me and my teenage daughter on Invisalign. He also did a beautiful job with chair side veneers on my adult son's front teeth. His teeth had been discolored since childhood and now he has a beautiful smile and is no longer self conscious about it. Dr. Ty is meticulous and cares about each one of his patients. I'm so glad that we found him!! read more

Dr. Ty and his team are super attentive, responsive, and accommodating...even when out of town and your kid has an accident with his front tooth! Dr. Ty's recommendations for addressing pediatric sleep issues were spot on. Totally recommend them. read more

This past weekend, a 10 year old filling fell out of my mouth when flossing. I reached out to Dr. Ty and he got back to me on a Sunday and opened the office just to fill my tooth! I would have been delighted with any filling at that point, but to put icing on the cake, Dr. Ty gave me -hands down- the most gentle experience I've ever had with a filling. Dr. Ty is sharp, friendly and committed to providing great service. I'm lucky I found him and recommend him strongly to anyone in need of a dentist. read more

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! I am so happy I changed dentists and started coming to Etheridge Family Dentistry, I just wish I had sooner! Dr. Ty, Dr. DH and all of the rest of the staff are AMAZING! Everyone is so helpful and friendly and really take the time to explain things. I recently got some "cosmetic" work done and LOVE the results. Dr. Ty and Dr. DH really know and care deeply about what they are doing and both went above and beyond through the long process making sure I was comfortable and happy every step of the way. I am SO grateful I found Dr. Ty and will be a patient of his as long as he is practicing. I recommend him to everyone- THANK YOU SO MUCH everyone at Etheridge Family Dentistry!! read more

This is by far the best dental practice I've ever been to and I am so happy I found them. I've seen both Dr. Ty and Dr. Brent and they were both great. Unlike many other practices, they are not pushy and have not recommended anything that I didn't need just to bill my insurance as much as they could. Visiting Etheridge Family Dentistry is as magical and amazing as a visit to the dentist can be. I rave about this place all the time and I highly recommend it! read more

Dr Etheridge's office was recommended to me by two separate friends. I didn't call him until the Friday of Christmas weekend, when I suddenly found myself with a broken molar and my insurance running out in 8 days. Dr. Etheridge answered my call while on a ski vacation and arranged for his assistant to see me right away to take care of me until he could. Dr. Spencer was friendly, efficient and good at explaining things. I was preliminarily patched up and heading home in under 2 hours of calling them. Then Dr. Etheridge managed to make time for me the next day, Saturday, 12/23 (even though he was supposed to be on vacation for the next week) and gave me a temporary crown and made an impression for a permanent crown to put in later. He not only was a great explainer and listener, he made sure I had a comfortable blanket to keep warm while I watched Netflix while he worked. Afterward, he pointed out points of concern with my teeth that he would recommend we take preemptive measures on. I would have become an enthusiastic patient of this office based on my in-office experience alone. How Dr Etheridge bent over backward to work with my situation and take care of me over the holidays despite his vacation has earned my eternal loyalty. read more

We had our first visit today. My son is 3 and had been going to a different dentist, let's just say he was old school and I felt there had to be a better option. So I found Etheridge Family online and went for it. I couldn't be happier w the office and staff. My little boy loved it there and they made him feel so comfortable. On his first visit they managed to do the entire cleaning while he sat calmly in the chair. Not a tear and no apprehension. Not the case at our last dentist. Thank you Ty and all of the caring staff! read more

I went to Etheridge Family Dentistry for an Invisalign consultation and continued with the treatment. Right away I was welcomed by all the friendly staff members and Dr. Ty. I'm so pleased with my smile now, and feel I've found my dentist for life. Thank you to all at EFD! read more

Well I was referred there by my boyfriend who swears by them...I went because I was having sensitivity in a tooth on the right upper side that I knew had a filled crack in it and to establish care since (admittedly I haven't been to a dentist in like a few years.) The cracked tooth had been filled before and I was warned that due to my grinding at night, the crack would just keep getting bigger.. So the day of the appointment: I got there on time, everyone was over the top friendly. I knew going in that the appointment required 2 hours, but things kept coming up that day and even though I had allotted 2 hours originally, I really only had 1 hour available. So no big deal, I would just come back for a second visit. i had made an appointment but didn't know which doctor I was going to see. Turns out it was the younger doctor (don't know his name), he seemed nice and fine...We did a general exam, did some unnecessary TMJ exam, took a bunch of X-rays and then went over some findings- they found that an old crown was probably leaking and had created infection at the root and that I need to have the root canal fixed and that they had an endodontist that is amazing. They also kept saying that for not having seen a dentist in years, that I was doing a good job and that things looked really really good, some tartar of course but nothing cleaning couldn't help... I was pleasantly surprised that everything was pretty good. I probably saw three people (the young dentist, Dr. Ty and his Dental hygeinist) and all said things looked good and the crown was something I needed to get checked out along with a cleaning. They never really addressed my concern of sensitivity on the right side of my mouth and I assumed since they kept saying everything looked great that it was ok. Ok great.. So upon leaving I made a follow up appointment for the 2 hour cleaning they said I needed and didn't have time for that day..I paid what she asked and then I questioned the amount since I have Delta Dental insurance.. She realized her mistake and said she could refund me or just credit my account for the next visit...I elected for the credit.. no big deal. I made an appointment at the endodonist, had to wait a month since it cost in combination with my insurance about 850$ total. So got the crown fixed.. I had a follow up appointment at Etheridge which I had to cancel due to the cost of the root canal fix - I called and left a message two week before and one day before to let them know since I was still getting the appointment reminders. Someone called me the day of to tell me I missed the appointment and I told her I had called and left two messages. She had no idea. She asked if I wanted to reschedule and I said I'd call her back. Each time I tried to call back they kept saying they were a month out, which is typical and not an issue but then I would have to not schedule so I could check my schedule again... a few months roll by and the sensitivity on the right is a little worse and more consistent.. granted the crack in the filled tooth could have gotten worse.. ok, deal with it right? but now I was having sensitivity in multiple areas of my mouth. So, curious, I called the office and asked if I she could look and see if I had any cavities on my first visit... She tells me I had 5-6 cavities! No one had even mentioned it to me! I'm walking around for months with these cavities and at the appointment they were just pushing for this 2 hour cleaning that in my opinion is not as important as getting the cavities taken care of.. She realizes how upset I am and has the young doctor call me.. He calls to apologize and explains that I had 3-4 cavities that are already cavities that were small and haven't gotten any bigger and that the other ones weren't full cavities yet and it was important to stop those from becoming cavities.... First of all -HOW DOES HE KNOW THEY AREN"T BIGGER NOW? AND don't you think mentioning that I had cavities would make me follow up in a more timely fashion? I'm walking around thinking things are fine and that a cleaning can be done in a couple of months.... completely poor communication... It is fine and well when all the office is nice, but I would trade niceties for clear and proper communication any day..... read more

Dr. Ty has been my dentist from the day he opened his office in Madison Park. He is kind and gentle and listens to his patients needs and concerns. He is thorough and explains his procedures if you want more information and gets it if you don't. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new dentist who keeps up-to-date of the latest dental innovations and improved procedures. So blessed to have him in the neighborhood. Thanks Dr. Ty!! read more

I first came to see Dr. Ty because he was recommended by Monica at Leone and Vaughn Orthodontics. I needed a night guard that could also be a retainer. They took my impressions and he noticed that I was wincing pretty badly. I had a really sensitive tooth and he asked if I wouldn't mind having an x-ray done. Sure, why not. Seems that my dentist at the time didn't do some of my fillings correctly (6 months prior) and I had developed new cavities under the new fillings. Dr. Ty was very professional and did not bad mouth my current dentist, but I was able to come to my own conclusions. Since then I have been going to Etheridge Family Dentistry and I no longer have any tooth pain. Turns out that I also needed a root canal, which was not previously told to me by the other dentist. I could have saved myself 6 months of pain if I had gone to see Dr. Ty when Monica first told me about him. read more

I started going to Dr. Ty just after he first opened in 2004 when I received a flier offering free tooth whitening trays & gel. I needed a dentist anyway & thought the offer was a sweet deal. Little did I know how lucky I got! Dr. Ty is hands down the best dentist I have ever been to. His office is comfortable, his staff is friendly & professional & Dr. Ty, even though his practice has grown considerably in the 10 years I've been going to him, truly cares about each of his patients. Dr. Ty saw me through many of the ups and downs of my life. I've also seen Dr. Ty's family grow over the years & I really never expected to have such a great relationship with my dentist. I continued going to Dr. Ty even after moving to South Park from Capitol Hill & through many crappy insurance changes that make it cost a bit more to see him. That is how highly I think of Dr. Ty & his staff. I've refered many people to Dr. Ty and have never heard any complaints. Make your appointment now! read more

Dr. Ty and his staff are wonderful. I started coming here several years ago after I discovered that all of my coworkers were going to him for dental work. I've always dreaded going to the dentist, but that is no longer the case. Everyone who works at the office is so nice. I avoided getting braces when I was little and thought that I couldn't get Invisalign because my teeth were really out of sync, but Dr. Ty is very experienced with Invisalign and helped fix my teeth. He also did some cosmetic work which looks amazing! I'm not self conscious about smiling in photos anymore. I highly recommend him as a dentist for whatever needs you might have. read more

Dr. Ty may be one of the most fabulous dentists on this planet. My husband and I have been seeing him since we moved to Seattle and have always thought his office was great-very knowledgable staff, friendly, dedicated Dr., cutting edge technology/tools etc. Recently though, Dr. Ty demonstrated a kind of concern and dedication you just don't see in the medical profession anymore. My son (9 yrs) flipped off his bike and broke off his two front teeth in the evening (after office hours). Despite the fact that my son saw a different, kid's dentist, we knew immediately who to call! Dr. Ty called me right back, interrupted an evening run, opened up his office, and found an assistant in time for me to meet him over there with my terrified kid. He literally stood there, and rebuilt my son's teeth so perfectly that people cannot tell that he broke them! Needless to say, we were filled with gratitude and my son's parting words after we left his office were, "Mom, I want Dr. Ty to be my dentist too-forever". So, the very next day we transferred both kids' records over! He also quickly followed up with our orthodontist and lined up an appt with an endodontist for us. We are forever grateful for Dr. Ty and for his willingness to help us in our time of need, even though it wasn't convenient for him. A million thanks Dr. Ty!!! read more
