I recently returned to Gentle Dental Ballard for a sinus lift with Dr. Dekker, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish.nnFrom the start, everything was clearly and thoroughly explained. Dr. Dekker took the time to walk me through the procedure, set expectations, and answer all my questions, which made a huge difference in putting me at ease.nnThe entire team was professional, attentive, and genuinely focused on making sure I was comfortable throughout the process. The level of care and communication really stood out.nnIf you’re considering a procedure like this and feeling uncertain, this is a team that knows how to deliver both expertise and a great patient experience. Highly recommend.

The dental hygienist Don/Dom was amazing! He went above and beyond for me. He truly cares about his patients and made sure my dental bridge was done perfectly by advocating for what was best for me. I felt genuinely heard and well taken care of. Dr. Kumar was also exceptional and helped make the experience comfortable and I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. Thank you!

Alright, here's the version with the wisdom tooth removal and prophylaxis:nnJust had an absolutely fantastic dental appointment and I can't wait to share my experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was so welcoming and friendly. A huge thank you to Mariana and Kira, who took exceptional care of me. I even had my wisdom tooth removed and a prophylaxis (cleaning), and everything went perfectly! Their professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding, and they made sure I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire visit.nnIt's not every day you leave the dentist's office with a smile, but today was one of those days! If you're searching for a dental team that combines expertise with genuine care, look no further. Seriously, you'll be in great hands. Highly recommend giving them a try—your teeth (and your peace of mind) will thank you!
