Without reservation I recommend Dr Rick Stickney and his staff. His office is above World Market, near Pike Place Market, with free parking below He was referred to me by a Holistic MD, about 15 years ago, soon after I arrived in Seattle. He is a Holistic Dentist, always learning and staying on top of new developments. I have been living with Chronic Illness for decades. I have strange symptoms which include my teeth and gums. I have been very sensitive to drugs, chemicals, metals, etc I have had dental experiences in the past that have been detrimental to my overall health. Therefore, I have invested in working with Dr Stickney, and I am very grateful for his care, and that of his staff. read more

Stay away from these people. Stay away from people who say one thing and do another... I called hoping for a good assesment and education on what is going on with my teeth. they charged me around 300$ no imaging no nothing to spend 15 min with me and tell me I have a cavity.. The receptionist said she understood my bad dentist experiences and spent an hour on the phone with me, explaining to me how this kind of dentist will only scedule one paitent at a time. ( was not the case in fact they asked me to be early and they never came into my appontment room until 30 min after the appointment) I am a student and needed to get to class so instead of caring about my time I was rushed. I felt rushed and not taken care of so I emailed them and asked if I could have the doctor call me please... and they never responded... I was supposed to get a procedure done with them and then I said never mind... my procdure is for dec 5, and I canceled on nov 27... via phone call, email and text! and they still are sending me appontment confirmations. Not only do these people not answer your emails, or messages but they have a blatent disregaurd for humanity and the paitent care they provide. Currently I am a medical student and if I was practinjng this way it would be compleatly unacceptable. I would say stay away from these people, if they are going to treat someone like this... what is the point of every offering any kind of care? I will keep You posted on what happens with the cancelation but as of this right now... this is insane I even have to write a post about it because my experience was this bad! eek. read more

Biological Dentistry - It says I recived this email yesterday! I was not around and being present due to the holidays and I just read it and got so upset. - General Dentistry Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

I broke a front tooth and really didn't want to go the cosmetic dentist route again. A few years ago, I had another tooth bonded by a cosmetic dentist and it never looked right. This time I found wanted someone who is natural and biological. The difference was night and day. He fixed my broken tooth so well that you honestly can't tell it was ever chipped. The bonding blends in perfectly and looks very natural. I'm so relieved and grateful. It feels like I have my real tooth back. read more

Quality care as always. I've been a patient for many years and drives 40miles to see Dr. Cziao. Definitely worth the trip.

Seattle Dental Care has been my dental home for many years, and under their care, I've seen remarkable improvements in both my overall health and dental health. What I love the most is they regularly perform bacteria test and pH level check up. With those information they fine-tune how I care for myself. This is a clinic that truly embody the essence of holistic dentistry and tailor to what my health needs. read more

After several dental traumas. I'm thrilled to have discovered a dentist who adopts a true holistic approach, who is willing to listen and care for my health, and employs natural methods to heal my teeth. read more

Wonderful holistic dental practice that ACTUALLY focuses on prevention and overall health rather than just fillings, etc. lovely people and a lovely office/location! read more

I'm a new patient. I wanted to try and support biologic dentistry. I was excited - and I asked about pricing over the phone before I became a patient - so I could compare the cost with my current dentist. When I arrived for my first cleaning (following a $400 initial consult the month prior), I was blindsided when I was told this deep cleaning (right side only) was going to cost $1,123. 00. I had traveled there, I was in shock. I entered the room. I had a lovely and qualified hygienist do a through cleaning (deep cleaning on only 1/2 the mouth) that latest just over 60 minutes. I needed no medicine for numbing. It was not painful even though I have some very deep pockets. I paid my bill (because I am a bill payer), and I left, in shock and very upset with myself for not having just walked out right after I had arrived and been given the estimate. Instead, I wrote Drs. an email to Drs. Stickney and Cziao to ask them to transfer my records back to my dentist of many years. I will return to that clinic and just avoid the flouride treatments that they give (because that is not biological). I told them that the rates they are charging are completely unconscionable. I have no idea how on earth they can charge this kind of money. My care was very good. Dr. Cziao was lovely and explained what he was doing and Jennifer did a good, deep clean, but these prices are out of this world unreasonable. read more

I finally found a holistic dentist who listens and respects my opinions. Dr. Cziao is skilled and knowledgeable, and I appreciate his dedication to preserving my natural tooth with minimal invasive treatment options. read more

Dangerously incompetent. They have incompetent hygienist do root planing and scared me into a procedure that ruined my health and cannot be undone read more

Dr. Stickney has been wonderful. I am sorry he is scaling back. His new associate Dr. Cziao, however, is a huge disappointment. As he cleaned my teeth ultrasonically I smelled burning tooth. When I asked if what he was doing could remove enamel, he initially said no, but then admitted it could. After this 'cleaning' my teeth have been continuously sensitive to temperature and acidic foods. I believe his technique stripped enamel. After years of great care with Dr. Stickney, I have changed dental clinics and advised my family to do the same. One would hope that a dentist would know and care about the rudimentary elements of dental care, but I now do not trust any aspect of Dr. Cziao's judgment at this point. In addition, since this office shifted to new ownership, the office staff has been less professional and competent. Long term competent staff has been replaced by inexperienced and rotating staff who appear to be casually trialing new processes and procedures. After over 30 years with this clinic I am sorry to have to change, but feel it is in the best interest after trying to give them the benefit of the doubt over my past and last year with them. read more

Dr. Stickney saved my oral health. Hands down the best dentist I have ever been to in my 52 years. He treats your teeth as living tissue, choosing the least invasive approach to repair and the most holistic route to recovery, including ozone treatment to mitigate harmful bacterial growth that can cause issues down the line. I have been going to Dr. Stickney for nearly 13, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I wish there were more like him. read more

Absolutely fantastic experience - finally a dentist interested in holistic care. Wish I had found them sooner

After receiving some poor dental work in Los Angeles, I was left with debilitating pain in three teeth. When I sought to get the situation corrected by another dentist, I was told I would need root canals in all the teeth that the Los Angeles dentist had worked on. Fortunately I found Dr. Stickney. Dr. Stickney carefully replaced the fillings in all of my affected teeth. He used holistic methods to heal and clean the area and took his time to do the job right. The pain was significantly reduced immediately. Within two weeks I was pain free for the first time in over a month, and able to eat again. I would highly recommend Dr. Stickney, his methods, and his staff. It doesn't hurt that the office has such a beautiful view, too! read more

I went to an oral surgeon for some extractions then some follow up due to extreme pain and discomfort. After weeks of this I tried Dr Stickney based on a friend's referral, wow what a great idea that turned out to be! He and his staff were the only ones able to alleviate the pain and get me back to healing. This was all done without meds, which my previous doctors had just kept prescribing. In fact here, they used LASERS!!! Thank you technology. Also the bedside manner of the doctor and his assistants was 2nd to none. I will go back for any dental concern to get this stellar care again, truly a standout in this day of doctors pushing drugs or not caring about their patients. read more

I love the overall healing vibe in a dentist office of all places! I find that all my questions are answered and then some and that Dr. Stickney and his team truly care about the oral health of each patient. Annika is bare none the best dental hygienist in the field I have come across! I have never had such as thorough cleaning! And the deeper scaling work she did was up and over what most would do. She seems very caring and sensitive to the patient...so nice! My mouth is on it's way back to being healthy again after many years and I am so grateful! I have finally found my longterm dental care office after 20 years in Seattle! Thank you for being the best in Seattle! read more

Dr Stickney and his team are all professionals, I had some dental issues and they were able to fit me in and make recommendations, am grateful for the care provided, I would highly recommend this dentist, he is patient, very knowledgeable and does not rush you at all, answers all questions, very thankful. read more

Now, granted, going to the dentist doesn't top my list of fun things to do but it is necessary -- kinda like cleaning out the gunk in the kitchen drain -- but Dr. Stickney is quick, thorough and an expert at helping his patients relax. The hygienists do a great job and I have no problem returning for my 6 month teeth cleaning every....er, 6 months. Dr. Stickney also runs a wholistic practice with information on homeopathic remedies, herbs for healthy mouths and meditation for relaxation. read more

First visit went very well. Hygienist Annika was a delight, explained everything very well and was very personable. Everyone I met in the office was really nice and helpful. Didn't have much time with Dr. Stickney (which is a good thing- no cavities or other issues) but he made a solid first impression. Will be returning for subsequent visits. Bonus: view of Elliot Bay from the patient chairs was worth a dentist visit!! read more

The did a root planning without explaining the process and I thought it was a deep cleaning .The hygienist should not have done this work and when she botched it she did the other side to try and cover it up Ruined my teeth. Very greedy and unprofessional read more

completely Incompetent office staff Called in after 1 st visit was supposed to get treatment plan for bite at second visit That didn't happen Had severe bite problems between visits and asked for referral for complicated gum and bite issues Not only was I told to come back for another appt (third) to ck bite AGAIN I was not given a referral despite repeated requests Its Sinful that a dr should be more concerned about his business than his patients welfare After $ 700 in exam X-ray and cleaning he didn't have the decency to respond to my request Though I didn't get anesthetic they wven charged me $ 20 extra for iodine rinse - on top of a $310 bill for an hr w hygienist If they are that strapped for cash they should close rather than giving patients poor care Only go to drs and dentists with busy practices This guy is easy to get an appt w for a reason! FYI given his profession it may be important to note this man has horendous breath and awful looking veneers read more

Dr. Stickney Saved my front tooth!!!!! After being told by a highly regarded dentist, who had also consulted with two other dentist in Kirkland that I would need a bridge to fix my front tooth I decided to get one more opinion and this time with a holistic dentist and lucky me that dentist was Dr. Stickney. At my first appointment with Dr. Stickney he listened to all of my concerns regarding my front tooth and before giving me an opinion, sent me out to get a 3d X-ray of my teeth. After getting the 3d X-ray back Dr. Stickney sat down with me and told me that a bridge, in my case would not be a good choice!!! He told me the roots to my front teeth were too short, from having braces and could not withstand the pressure that would be put on them by a bridge. Dr. Stickney then re-xamined my front tooth. Be began to work on it and I assumed he was temporarily securing the loose crown, to buy me some time until an implant could be made. Dr. Stickney got out his laser and lasered the area around around the gum where I had lost my tooth. He worked away and I was very thankful to have my tooth secured for the time being. When Dr. Stickney finished he casually told me my tooth was fixed and it should last me for a very long time!!!!!!!! Dr. sticky used ozone to disinfect the area before securing the crown. He used anesthetic that did not make me sick. He was kind gentle and compassionate and He saved my front tooth. I had thought getting another opinion was a waste of time. Three dentist all had the same opinion there was no way they could anchor the crown since there was nothing left to anchor it too. My front tooth crown is now secured as if it was my own tooth. If I had followed through with my previous dentist I would have had 3 teeth taken out to make a bridge for one tooth and on top of that it would not have lasted!!!!!! I thank God I took the time to see Dr. Stickney. It was a miracle that I found him as I could have gone to 100 dentists and none of them would have had a laser, ordered a 3d X-ray, used ozone.....etc. I would have gotten a bridge and that would have failed too. Dr. Stickney is my dentist for life and I am so blessed to have found him. I can not put into words what he and his wonderful staff did for me. A front tooth is something money can not buy. I still can not believe how blessed I was to find him: he is a diamond in the ruff. Thank you Dr. Stickney and staff from the bottom of my heart. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Stickney's for over 16 years and with every new checkup I'm glad he's my dentist. Any potential problems are caught and remedied before my teeth are damaged. Plus he always takes great care to preserve my teeth and uses the least invasive procedures possible. He not only has long experience in the field, but his equipment and software are constantly updated. I feel all procedures and options are always well explained so I understand my treatment and particular problems. Dr. Stickney also takes the time to share his knowledge, including new studies and discoveries in dentistry. The office is exceptionally comfortable and Dr. Stickney's team is friendly and professional. Annika, my dental hygienist, is a sensitive mouth's dream. My entire mouth is in great shape, but it's only because Dr. Stickney's office has been caring for it so well for such a long time. My mouth was a disaster (cavities, cracks and periodontal disease) when I first walked in and it sure didn't take him long to fix it. I'd recommend him to anyone. read more

I am a grateful patient of dr stickney. Dr stickney is an exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable dentist with many years of experience. Even though he runs a busy practice he makes time to keep up with the latest developments in dentistry and is willing to include new techniques that have been well tested but are not currently mainstream. Its very likely that many of the techniques he is using now will be widely available in 20 years or so. He and his staff are very caring and were willing to really listen and understand what my dental issues where. I believe dr stickney provides the most natural approach to dentistry that is currently available. He emphasizes a preventive approach with the latest techniques for finding dental issues very early so treatment can be as minimal as possible not just relying on x rays alone. He is also very knowledgeable of natural supplements to help strengthen teeth. He uses natural anesthetics and sterilizing techniques such as ozone instead of unnatural mainstream alternatives and finally he is very skilled at dental cosmetics and is very sensitive to making your teeth look the best they can. I discovered dr stickney when I had a crown that had failed. The original drilling required getting very close to the nerve. Although the dentist was very skilled it took years for the tooth to stop hurting and I was told it would be wise to do a root canal because there was a good chance the nerve had been so traumatized by the drilling that it would likely die. I decided to take my chances and it did eventually recover but 10 years later the crown failed and I was told by a couple of dentists that I should go directly to a root canal because the chance of saving the tooth was now very low. I decided to do some research and read about how lasers can be helpful in this situation because they cause less trauma to the nerve than a conventional drill without the heat from the friction so I looked for a dentist who was using one and found dr stickney. When I had my appointment dr stickney told me there was a very good chance that he could save the tooth. Using a laser and other techniques and years of experience the procedure was quick and comfortable and to my astonishment the tooth didn't hurt at all after the numbing wore off and has been fine for over a year . Given that dr stickney had to go even closer to the nerve than in the original drilling with such drastically better results convinced me of just how exceptional dr stickney is read more

Diagnosed with heavy metal toxicity and multiple chemical sensitivities, my naturopath referred me to Dr. Stickney to have all my amalgum fillings replaced. It took many visits and 2 years to complete and in that time I have gotten to know Dr. Stickney and his team quite well. They are kind, patient and caring people. They take all the time needed to make sure I am comfortable (blanket rolled under my knees, pillow under my head, CD player, sunglasses, etc). When I leave the office, I feel relaxed and happy. Pretty cool to be able to say that about dental visits! Dr. Stickney is a wonderful and patient listener; I always feel heard, involved and well-informed. He is a gifted master dentist, and a caring and compassionate human being. He has played a big part in my healing and increasing experience of well-being. I am very grateful. read more
