Simply Dental

tldr: Horrible scheduling experience.

I scheduled Saturday appointment 4 months ahead. Receptionist called and ask if I can come in early, I gladly said yes.

I called an hour ahead of appointment time, telling them I’ll be late 5-10mins because of Ferry. (Because I’m a polite person, I bet 99% of people won’t make the call) Receptionist canceled my appointment because “hygienist was already running late, and can’t have her lunch.” And my original spot was already taken. She very “nicely” offered me no cancelation fee. What a joke. Can you refund me $30 for the ferry to Seattle?

Btw, one of their specialist is rude. I waited 30mins for her appointment, and she referred me by my orthodontist first name after asking who my orthodontist is. I didn’t correct her because, why. Maybe I’m just nitpicking here.

I’m switching dentist. Bye bye.

I have been going to simply dental for years and have been overall pretty happy with their teeth cleaning services. My dental filling 6 months ago was unfortunately subpar. I experienced significant and ongoing discomfort afterwards and required an adjustment following the procedure. I had no symptoms prior to the filling and unfortunately experienced trouble chewing related to pain and sensitivity for months afterwards. I still decided to come back for my routine cleaning. I was told of a new cavity and another filling was recommended. This dentist, Dr Jessica Bai, was new to the practice and had the best bedside manner I’ve yet to encounter. She seemed reasonable, knowledgeable, and pointed out the cavity to me, which was really helpful and convincing. I decided to give them another try at my filling. They were able to fit me in the same day as my cleaning and Dr Bai did a phenomenal job. She listened to my concerns and the troubles I had related to my previous filling. She placed a liner to address any teeth sensitivity and made adjustments right off the bat to ensure my bite felt normal. I’m a happy camper this time around. No pain or sensitivity, unlike the first time. I would definitely go back to Dr Bai again. One thing that did catch me off guard was the dental hygienist did the nerve block. I had no idea this was in their scope of practice and it was a bit disconcerting. I didn’t get to chose who did my nerve block but I certainly would have felt more comfortable had the dentist, with their extensive study of the mouth anatomy, did my block instead.

Simply Dental makes going to the dentist fun! The Saturday crew is the best - the techs, the assistants, the doctors and the office staff are all so personable and welcoming. Fast and easy check in , breezing thru the procedure while somehow still making conversation and doing it well, I always leave feeling better than when I came in. I’ve been coming here for over five years - I’ve even moved twice, and each time further away - but I don’t care, I’d never get a new dentist!

Easy to find, the staff is kind, listens to your concerns and gives exact feedback so that you can have the best health for not only your teeth but overall health.

Super friendly staff and great service. Been here twice. They were able to accommodate a same-day appointment. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend Simply Dental. The appointment process was painless - simple online form with plenty of times to choose from. The front desk staff was super helpful and helped me through my insurance questions. Teeth cleaning was quick and professional. Thank you!!

I love the people here. Friendly, polite and professional service always. I also really LOVE the open late and Saturday (which I always do) hours.

MAKE SURE to avoid Dr. Tate! He was a nightmare.
Ive tried many doctors at Simply Dental, to be honest all of them are super super great except this one, and very helpful staff.
However recently I did a follow up cleaning session (not deep cleaning) with Dr.Tate. I could have not been more miserable out of the experience, my month was fulll of blood (for cleaning! I am not exaggerating). Even though I expressed pain throughout the doctor would just say “okay, sorry”. It was the most painful session of my dental experience (and I am quite tolerant to pain).
Today is the day after and I still fill pain in my teeth when eating (I was totally fine before the session), and my gums are swelled.

I am a very nervous Dentist person and started going to Simply Dental because they offer nitrous oxide. I have been going to them for years and no longer need it, even a Crown they did. I find they caring and professional. They do quality work. I highly recommend Simply Dental.

As usual since I'm attending Simply Dental, I received personal attention and open people (doctors and assistants) to work on different options to improve functionality.
