I discovered this place online because of their amazing in-house benefit plan, a dental coverage…read moreoption for people without dental insurance (the details are on their website, but it's an awesome plan at a very reasonable cost). Once I was there to sign up, I had the added benefit of meeting two incredibly friendly and personable young ladies. These ladies are Dr Tomar, the dentist, and Sharon, her assistant. That's the whole office! If you like small businesses, then this place is for you. Of course, the main problem with most small businesses is the high cost of service. Miraculously, that's not a problem here. I mean, it's dental work, so it's more expensive than groceries, but these are the lowest dental bills I've ever had. And did I mention the friendly and personable ladies? Sharon and Dr Tomar are wonderful! And even if you hate going to the dentist, you'll love their view of Puget Sound. Seriously, it's a staggeringly good view. Let that be the reason you initially go, and Dr Tomar will give you every reason to return. I can't recommend this place enough.

Today I experienced an extremely violent teeth cleaning. I had experiences with different dentists…read morein both California and Washington. Dr. Tomar is the one that caused me the most pain and bleeding. Not just this time, but a few times. This will be my last time visiting this dentist. She was extremely impatient and careless during the process, ignoring my pain, did everything in a rush. Previously, I thought the pain was because she was just trying to clean my teeth very thoroughly as I saw all the 5 star reviews here. But she scratched around my gums really carelessly and violently and this level of pain and bleeding is very abnormal. I should have trusted my body's feelings and move away from this dentist much earlier. I can sense that she doesn't want me as a patient here. It's the best for both sides that I leave. It was a really traumatic experience, the damage of the violent scratches to the enamel is irreversible. She also scratched the back of my tongue, which I have never experienced in any other dental clinic. I had very good teeth and so have been getting only dental cleaning here, which doesn't bring her profits. I feel sorry for Dr. Tomar that she had to do this to push out a patient. I saw other patients complaining about her dental cleaning process on Healthgrades too.

My first experiences with a dentist (more than 60 years ago now!) were horrific. When my mom…read moredecided to bring me to her dentist instead, things were somewhat better, but I still dreaded going. Fast forward into this century: due to my mom's dentist retirement and divorce robbing me of insurance and income, I had to go without regular checkups for 18 years. Several visits to various dentists in Snohomish County for semi-emergency repairs were all I could afford--and those visits were incredibly painful and unsatisfactory. Needless to say my teeth were not in good shape. And then, in the summer of 2019, because of a referral from a friend who swore by Dr. Zach, I called them when I suspected an abcessed tooth. They got me in right away, and also went the extra mile to comfort me when I needed it! In the past year or so, I no longer dread going to the dentist. They've taken care of several of my dental health issues in addition to cleanings, and I am not only impressed with their top level of care, but with their efforts to make it all as painless as can be. The dental hygenists and the front desk staff are so caring, helpful, and always patiently answer all my questions. I am so glad that Dr. Zach is about half my age, because I consider him and his team to be my dental care providers for life. I'm now actually looking forward to my next slate of appointments because I know Dr. Zach's team always takes good care of me, and my teeth will be so much improved with each visit! Kudos to Distinctive Dentistry in Edmonds, Washington, and many thanks from a very grateful patient.

I was sent here for a sleep appliance. When I asked on the phone what the costs would be the were…read morevery vague and only told me I would be charged $95 even if I didn't get an appliance from them. However when you go in and talk to them after you've seen the doc they tell you its $3600 up front out of pocket and that the insurance might cover 40% of the insurance fee. Then they offered to give me the codes to call myself. If they have a standard price like that why would they not tell you upfront and give you the codes. Some people cannot afford $95 that gets them nothing but a scan and a doctor chat. This is major false advertising. I would have not gonna if I knew the cost and especially knowing I had to pay $95. Very bad business practice and they get away with it cause there are not many folks who specialize in sleep apppliance

Great dentist! I have been seeing Dr. Nelson and his staff for the past 29 years and have always…read morebeen confident in their skills and ability to make "going to the dentist" a pleasant experience. He consistently provides options for the planned treatment and we together decide on what to do. And he follows up if there is any concern on how the treatment went. I have never wished that I had not gone to him. Whether I was living and working within 10 miles or up to 40 miles away, I would think about dentists that were closer to home but always went back to Dr Nelson for the engaging conversation, his inquiry into how my family was, how my daughter was doing in sports, etc. Just good professional relationship building on his part! Though, it sure is difficult answering questions or engaging in a conversation with that darn dental dam in one's mouth. :) A big plus is that from the dental chair there is a relaxing second floor territorial view of the lower Edmonds area and a city park. Yep! I recommend Dr Nelson.

But when I mentioned it- made a joke about i--I was made to wait even longer that day. so long, in fact, that I had to leave. No one even came to tell me," sorry we're really running late today" or any communication. Really hurtful, petty, and short-sided. So after going there for years, I see the writing on the wall. I'm no longer wanted there. So goodbye. Good luck and I hope you treat other patients better than you did this one.
