The people in this office are very friendly and you can tell they love their jobs. I'm so happy that Yelp helped me find this dentists. My husband loves them too. read more

This clinic is following all mandates and requirements in an effort to uphold client safety. Despite the monotony of mouth rinse, hand sanitizer, and masks, clinic staff at Fife Dental are incredibly friendly and courteous. Today I went in for 3 fillings. I was having horrible anxiety, and I really wanted to cancel the appointment. Rox and Dr. Kim took great care of me and they were incredibly patient as I made them aware of my anxiety. They talked me through the whole process as they worked quickly and efficiently, and they expressed that they were available for whatever I might need to alleviate the anxiety. For the first time in my life, I have found a dental office that actually cares about me, my comfort, and my safety. I highly recommend this place! If you haven't found a great dentist, make an appointment here :) read more

Dr. Mitchell is outstanding! I didn't go to the dentist for ten years due to a deep filling I had back in the day. I'll never forget that drill. Needless to say, after not doing to the dentist for years, I had some pain. I went to Bright Now! Dental as they did a great job with my kids' braces, but not so great with my teeth. Found out I had periodontal disease and had to have six teeth in the back pulled. Got an implant and it failed. Out $4k. I switched my insurance to where I could pick where to go, instead of being told where to go. I was recommended to Fife Dental Center by someone I trust. I have been in three times now. I have paid less in copays than I paid before with PPO. I had an old filling removed on my front tooth this morning, and just WOW!! Dr. Mitchell is an artist and I am so happy that after 50 years I have found the greatest dental office ever. Don't hesitate!! Make your first appointment today. Check out my before and after pic... read more

Fife Dental Center - The right is before the filling and the left is after. What a difference!!! - General Dentistry Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I was a patient of Fife Dental Center for five years. Originally, I picked this location because it was a few blocks away from where I was living at the time. I visited somewhere between 10-12 times in that span, only requiring one filing, so mainly had interactions with the dental hygienists. I can say without a doubt, this is the best dental team I have ever seen. I moved to Seattle in 2017 and continued to drive down to Fife to have my teeth cleaned. Dr. Lisa Buttaro and her staff are world class. If you're looking for an excellent dentist and hygienist, give them a chance. You won't be disappointed. read more

Let my start by saying that I hate the dentist and have been dealing with anxiety about even setting foot at a dentists office. That being said, I can finally say that I've found a place to help make me feel at ease. Fife Dental Center is clean, clutter free and the staff is amazing. I recommend them to all my friends and family. read more

I really do love this place. Or maybe I've just never seen a good dental office. Either way, this place treats you very respectfully, its clean and up to date, and they give it to you real and take good care of your teeth unlike any other dentists I've been to. Highly recommended! read more

Let me start by saying unequivocally: I hate the dentist. All my life I've had dental issues, bad teeth, tons of dental and orthodontic work, braces, filings, crowns, you name it. I know it sounds silly but as a grown man I have a sort of anxiety driven phobia of the dentist. I white knuckle the chair, experience a weight on my chest that causes a shortness of breath, and sometimes leave the dentist finding I've almost broken the skin between my fingers with the opposite hand's finger nails. I know it's silly and irrational, but that's what a phobia is. With that said, this dentist office goes out of its way for everyone including for people such as myself. Everyone is charming and pleasant from the front desk to the doctor. They offer blankets if you're cold, headphones to distract, friendly conversation to relax, and copious amounts of gas and novocaine to ease discomfort. They apply topical numbing agents before using the needle so you don't feel any pain. All the people here are so friendly and you really feel comfortable asking for anything that might help ease the experience. Just look through the other reviews and count the 5-star reviews! For a dentist! Really, if you have to go to the dentist, why go anywhere else if you're even remotely in the area (I drive from Lakewood). read more

I am at a loss for words with how amazing Dr Buttaro and her staff are. After avoiding the dentist for 6+ years, I have been back and seeing Dr Buttaro regularly since being recommended about a year and a half ago. They put so much love and care into the work they do, and you can honestly feel it every time you are there. It is no longer a burden going to the dentist but I actually look forward to seeing the staff and Dr. They do everything they can to make you as comfortable as possible, and always ensure you are highly informed about what they are doing. I've recently referred my husband to leave his chain dentistry office and come to Fife Dental. He is also extremely impressed and happy with this office. He had to have some extensive work done and Dr Buttaro even called him in the evening to make sure he was doing okay (this woman is an angel on earth, LOVE her!). Their customer service is unmatched. I love Fife Dental Center! read more

Dr. Buttaro and her assistants are so lovely and welcoming. I will always suggest this dental office to anyone! I always dread going to the dentists, but they make it such a pleasant vist!! read more

I had a stellar experience from start to finish. As with many of the reviewers who have come before me, I consider myself to be rather dental-phobic, and have had an impressive collection of bad dental experiences until now. I had come to believe that pain and embarrassment were the norm in dentistry. Given that negative bias, it was an enormous relief to find Dr. Buttaro and all of her staff. They were all incredible. I found her entire team to be professional, gentle and kind. They explained everything they were doing, and functioned as a well oiled machine. I felt they went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable throughout my procedure, and frequently checked in on how I was doing. Dr. Buttaro was thorough, patient, and had a compassionate demeanor that instantly put me at ease. I believe she is an exceptional dentist at the top of her game. I can't imagine anyone having a bad experience here. Come on in! read more

I had a chipped crown, high dental anxiety and they were able to get me in on an urgent basis. and I saw Dr. Mitchell today. He has a wonderful presence and is so competent and kind. His manner made me feel very reassured. The entire staff there is wonderful and each visit makes me grateful that I am a patient of theirs. read more

Sarah is the best hygienist! She was awesome ! I've never left the dentist with such a "clean teeth" feeling! She was quick, thorough, and super nice. I like the fact that they value my time. I was done in less than an hour and on my way. I personally give fife dental Center my highest recommendation! read more

This is the best dentist office I've ever been to! I've been so terrified in the past, and Gina and the rest of the staff. I feel a lot more comfortable, and for that I'm relieved! Looking forward to going back, actually. I've never felt that way before. Thanks to their great staff! read more

I have had a great experience with Dr. Buttaro and her staff at Fife Dental Center. When I went for my first appointment, it had been a few years since I'd been to the dentist, so I was long overdue. The team did a full set of x-rays and a very thorough exam, and Dr. Buttaro took the time to sit down with me, explain the various processes and procedures, and answer any questions. It turned out that in addition to a cleaning, I needed a filling--my first. Dr. Buttaro completely put me at ease and the process was nearly painless. Additionally, my teeth have become more crooked as I've gotten older, so I elected to get a night guard and a retainer to keep them from moving further. Dr. Buttaro helped determine which appliances would not only work best but would be most cost effective. (As it turned out, the combined cost of the two appliances was less than what I paid for a single retainer from a different dentist years earlier.) All in all, I have gotten excellent care from Dr. Buttaro and her team, and would not hesitate to recommend them to others. read more

Office staff is rude and their time is more important then yours. They can be late work on you but when you are late for your appointment it is the end of the world. Plus if you want to be on good terms with them make sure you save a lot of money up so you can buy them a tube of ice cream through out the summer then they will call you their favorite patient even though you are sitting in the waiting room and have been a patient ever since they open the doors. read more

My husband really hates the dentist. Like, didn't go for years to avoid it. Of course, the ran into trouble and then really needed to go! That is when we chose to go here. From the start Dr. Buttaro and her staff have been amazing! My husband chooses to use the sedation they offer for his more challenging appointments and it has been a lifesaver. They are all friendly, cordial, and thorough with everything they do. read more

Great clinic. Friendly staff all around. We trust their work and knowledge. Highly recommend.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Love that quote! Anyways, from the first meeting with Debbie, and the rest of the staff, right on up to Dr. Lisa, the flow and friendliness has always been smooth and felt almost effortless. I have witnessed it even in the midst of emergency patients and schedule adaptations. It is called Grace. The work is exemplary and now a year later I've been transformed. Thank you! read more

I have had a horrible fear of dentists since I was a little kid, but Dr Buttaro and her staff have completely reassured me and I have no anxiety going to dentist now! Even just talking about going to see the dentist would send me into a complete panic attack, but Dr Buttaro as never made me feel anxious, and is always mindful of my discomfort and any questions I have about various procedures. They have great opportunities for sedation dentistry for those who are anxious with dental visits. Everyone in the office is friendly, and they are very flexible with scheduling. Clean office, kind staff, explain procedures completely and check for your understanding and comfort regularly. Could not recommend more highly! The only thing that is not my favorite is that it is fairly easy to miss the driveway entrance if you are not paying attention. Regardless, I love going to the dentist now, and will definitely continue coming back. read more

I went to Dr Butarro for ONE cavity in the right rear bottom of my mouth. It took 2 HOURS of drilling during the appt. I was in so much pain I had to stop twice and couldn't finish the appt with the sealant due to pain and suffering. The back office staff were apathetic and drove through the appt like a Mack truck. I ended up with an area like hamburger and was put on antibiotics and Percocet for this incident. This was traumatizing and I would highly recommend to research for a competent dentist. Not just these 5 star only reviews. read more

This is simply the best dentist office I have ever been to. The staff is very kind, knowledgeable, and hospitable. They seem to be very invested in my health and very respectful of my time. I encourage everyone to check them out. I know as long as I live in Washington I plan to be their client. read more

I can't say enough great things about this whole dental center. I have had great dentists in the past and was new to the area and worried I would never feel comfortable and expertly cared for by a dentist again. Instead, this whole dental team are simply awesome. Expert dental care,egging isn't front staff and skilled dental team. read more

Probably the best dentist clinic I've been to thus far. Staff was very friendly and Dr. Buttaro was excellent at explaining things and gave me options. I never felt that I was being "up-sold" on anything. Will definitely refer family and friends. read more

Good care, poor billing practices. I was charged $300 more that the estimate they provided after checking with my insurance company. I guess I should of had them bill for the service before receiving it to make sure the cost was correct. I'm on a fixed income and it was a rude awakening. read more

How can I even say in words how great this place is?! So after three years of avoiding the dentist because of some terrifyingly painful and just bad experiences, I googled around looking for somewhere close that could provide sedation dentistry because I wouldn't go unless I could be knocked out. fife dental was SO nice and accommodating to me on the phone. They were kind and reassuring that their team would be able to make me comfortable and that going to the dentist was not supposed to be a pain! They were right. Even though at my first appt, I told the. I would probably need every sedation option, I have done 6 appointments in 1 month without even needing laughing gas. They didn't push me to not use it, we just played it by ear and if I was ever uncomfortable, they had everything ready. But they are so good at their jobs, I never needed to be put out! I swear, I'm the biggest baby but they are that good. Every single person there is sweet, funny, warm, and accommodating. They never make me wait and consider my insurance needs fully (which is why I had 6 appointments in one month). I will never go anywhere else and my 25 years of absolutely hating going to the dentist is over. read more
