I moved out to Olympic Peninsula a few years ago and was apprehensive of finding a new dentist and transferring my care from a long standing dentist in Seattle. Dr. Austin Woodland hits all the marks for me. I've had a few cavities filled, and now as of a month ago, a root canal all done by Dr. Woodland and his offices and I am just so very impressed! Dr. Woodland is extremely gentle, quick to problem solve and has excellent bedside manner. He makes sure you are very numb too which for me is a great thing LOL Every appointment is a breeze at their extremely clean and modernly designed Sequim office location. The ladies and gentlemen at the front end of the office are equally polite and very helpful. Overall... I was a bit apprehensive as I had let my dental care go for a few years during the pandemic. I was also apprehensive as he is a newer dentist.. BUT I was very, very wrong!!! Glad I kept an open mind as Dr. Austin Woodland is the best dentist I've seen in my life. Definitely recommend! Bonus points for the massaging and heated dental chairs :) read more

My husband went here with a severe toothache. The tooth was extracted, and the dentist performed a bone graft for a future implant. No antibiotics were prescribed because the dentist claimed there was no significant infection. We later went to a specialist in Tacoma for an implant evaluation, only to discover the entire extraction site was severely infected. The Tacoma specialist had to perform a deep cleaning, and we were informed the probability of a successful implant is now very low due to how this was handled. Communication from the Sequim office has been terrible. I called twice and was promised a callback, which never happened. After sending a strong email, the dentist finally called, claimed everything was done properly, pointed out that there was actually another tooth that was infected and promised a follow-up email. That email never arrived. In the end, we deeply regret our decision to trust this office with his care. After thinking about this situation I realized that the dentist didn't offer refund. Will actually follow up with insurance about this. read more

Superior skill, excellent and all new facility, warm thorough staff, affordable! I moved from California where I had exceptional, but expensive dental care. I have generally "good" teeth but I'm a grinder and a clencher so I have a lot of wear and tear on my teeth, a lot. This time I got implants. Dr. Woodland, Elaine and the support staff in the Sequim office as well as the dentists and staff in Port Hadlock are above and beyond. Truly. I have been consistently impressed by their skills, warmth, consideration and affordability. I highly, Highly recommend Olympic Smile in both Sequim and Port Hadlock read more

I have worked in the dental profession for over 40 years. I have been living in my RV and traveling around the country since I retired five years ago. I was so worried about going to a new dental office and put it off. I finally made an appointment at Olympic Smile Care. I was so impressed from the first call I made until I was finished with my appointment. They are so professional and caring. They took my X-rays, did a complete full mouth exam and periodontal probe. It was so amazing. They weren't pushy as far as treatment. I've had extensive dental work and thought I was going to be told I need to have existing work redone. Nope...I highly recommend this office. Beautiful clean office. The staff was amazing and helpful. read more

Olympic Smile Care - General Dentistry Near Me - Sequim, Washington

My husband & I moved to Sequim a little over 2 years ago. I had gone through 1 other dentist prior to OSC & had a bad experience with their hygienist. My husband had similar issues. I set out to locate a new dentist in this post pandemic landscape. I found OSC and am so glad I did. I was having issues with a tooth, and they were able to get me in within about 10 days from my initial consultation, to have a crown put on. I have a dental phobia due to experiences from my childhood so this was nerve racking as you can imagine. I was scheduled with Dr. Ruder and the hygienist assisting was Shannon. They were both awesome and made me feel as comfortable as one can be with someone drilling in your mouth. The facility is very nice and the staff are all friendly. The atmosphere is very positive and focused on patient care and communication. Having been in management and being self-employed, communication is the bedrock to good customer service no matter the industry. They also excel in that department. I would recommend them highly. Thanks again to all at OSC. I am grateful for your service. Pam Champagne-L'Esperance read more

I was in a great deal of pain for a long time before I finally made it in to see the dentist. This was the only office to accept me, everywhere else was booked for at least a month and I couldn't wait that long from being in so much pain. Upon my first visit I was told by my first dentist that they could not do the procedure, I was very disappointed because I was tired of having to take ibuprofen every four hours to get through my days. While on my way out I was surprised to hear that Dr. Despain decided that he would take on the procedure. They had me in within a few days of my first appointment. The procedure went very smoothly and two wisdom teeth were removed within 20 minutes. I was surprised that I hardly had any swelling in the days that followed. I highly recommend Dr. Despain read more

Hey guys! I am new to the area, and this is the first dentist I chose to go to, I have been in around 5 times in the last couple months, and I LOVE every single staff member. Dr. Despain is my hero! Not only does he get me completely numb, with ONE shot (that never happens) but he is also nice, attentive, caring, with steady hands, I have never had ANY pain at all. The office is comfortable and cute, and I cannot say how much I love the staff. I look forward to going to the dentist, not often can one say that.. -Alexandra (Alix) Reich. :) Facebook.com/AlixBass I think I'm gonna go make them some cookies!! ;) read more

As someone that hasn't been to a dentist in over 20 yrs, I can't say I've had the opportunity to compare good ones from bad. I've been extremely lucky to have a good set of teeth overall. But in time even the most lucky eventually must go. I still have all my wisdom teeth since they were never a problem, until one finally started a cavity and a piece chipped away. I sucked it up, did some research online for recommendations and kept seeing positive ones for here. A call made, a price range quoted that varied quite a bit based on how hard it turned out to be pulling the tooth. Once they called me in, I don't think it was more than 15-20 minutes later I was walking out. everything went smooth as silk, from the explanations of what's going to happen, to the exploratory poking, one more shot since I could still feel things, and bang, the tooth was out. Onward we go, badda bing badda boom. Thank You Smile Care for encouraging me to start seeing a dentist more regularly. if only my insurance would cover it! read more

My husband and I have been to this dental office for our routine dental cleaning. This last time my husband was told while in the dental chair that the Dr said they would not clean our teeth unless we paid an extra $68 each for exam. We declined their demand and walked out of their office. Why did they not tell us this when we made our last appointment for this cleaning ????? They claim they do this for our good dental health. If this is the case, why didn't they just clean our teeth and say the next time we will not do this until you do A and B. I do not like to be strong armed or hustled. It's all about the money. read more

Kudos to Dr. Ames and his assistant Meghan. It was a long procedure and they maintained their kind and cheerful demeanor even in the face of my increasing crankiness. They stayed after hours when it ran into evening and didn't complain (even though I did!). Big thanks to you and the office! read more

Dr. Despain is the most amazing dentist I have ever had! Zero pain, fast, efficient. No longer cared of the dentist. He's fabulous.

I am not complaining about Dr Despain because he insisted on my having digital x-rays, although the receptionist was informed before I came that I did not want them for cleaning a few teeth stains. I am complain because Dr Despain looked into my mouth for no more than ONE MINUTE before he began debating me about the x-rays and then, after about five minutes when I politely declined and checked out, was slapped with a $77.00 fee for "a limited evaluation." One may object that I took another patient's time slot. So the fee is fair. But fairness is a two-way street that involves patients. Prospective patients should beware of this typical for-profit motivated American "health care" (despite Despain's hyperbole about concern for patients). read more

Our family has been going to Dr. Despain for two years and we couldn't be happier! Dr. Despain and his staff is very professional, proficient, and cheerful. We have had Dr. Boyack as well and he's been great. Even in emergencies, our care has been prompt and effective. If you're looking for dentists and hygienists you can trust, and who care about you, I highly recommend this group. read more

I've contemplated giving this place a review for over five months. Primarily because the dentist there is a very nice guy. However, after what has surpassed the past few dweeks I can no longer help myself because I dont want anyone to go through the experience I have been through. I went to Dr, Ben for a cleaning and to fix a chip/filling on the right corner of my front tooth. I was told that I needed thousands of dollars of work to re-do root canals, and that he would fix the chip/filling on that visit. Long story short- when I asked to get the records faxed to the school of denistry so I could get a second opinion and get the work done for a more affordable price it took four weeks of requests for faxes and lies saying they were sent before I finally had to go ;pick them up myself. At that point, the chip/filling was falling out on a regular basis and I was having to put it back in with my tongue. Finally, it fell off for good. This happened twice. Within a few months time period. (no wonder because he took about five mintues to do the actual work). On my last time I went in there I was quite upset since I ended up with a chipped tooth in the middle of a work vacation which was very embarassing. He agreed to fix it for free one last time.This time he actually took some time to fix it but I could feel that he kept grinding down my tooth. When it was all done I had a front tooth that was drastically shorter than not only my other front tooth but to the ones next to them. I wanted to cry. In the past weeks, the entire right side of that tooth looks as if it has permanent coat of plaque on it and its about to fall out any day now. So I have a overly short tooth, that looks like I ate a bunch of dough that is stuck in the corner of my tooth permanently and soon I will have a fragement of a tooth when it falls out. The replacement will cost at least $1000. DO NOT GO TO THIS GUY IF YOU HAVE COSMETIC WORK YOU NEED DONE. I don't know if he is fresh out of dentist school and needs practice or what...but trust me if you saw the before and after of what he has done to my tooth you wouldn't want to get work done there. read more

I'm very picky with, well, most things, and especially with my teeth. I really like Olympic Smile Care; the staff and Dr. Jared Despain are wonderful. I live about a 40min drive from the office, but it's worth it to see someone that I feel confident about working on my mouth. I've had other dentists shrug off things I've told them such as needing extra novocaine when getting fillings, and Dr. Jared listened to me and fixed things that weren't quite right (like fixing a filling that wasn't filed down quite enough). Every interaction I've had with him and his staff is very positive. Dr Jared is a great dentist and I've recommended him to friends and family! read more

This office makes you feel relaxed just walking in the door. The dentist is honest and nice plus his hygienist is awesome.
