Dr. Shor and his team are great! They are highly skilled professionals who clearly care about the well-being of their patients. The adjustments they've made for COVID are science-based and definitely make me feel safe. They've been my dentists since 2017 and I'm quite happy with them. Also, I knew I'd need some work on my bite, and his recommendation for an orthodontist (Dr. Winkler at Northcut Ortho) was superb. They worked closely together as a team to deliver excellent results for me. Highly recommended! read more

A caring professional practice using the latest techniques and technology. From routine cleaning to fillings and caps they have given me outstanding care. read more

I have been a patient od Dr. Alex Shor for Dr Alex Shor has been my dentist for the past 6 years. He initially provided implant surgery to me, showing himself to be a highly skilled dentist. Since then, he has always shown concern for my well-being and satisfaction with the work he has done. His team is consistently friendly and efficient, so I have always felt I was in good hands when I come in for checkups and cleanings. I am happy that I found him and the staff in his office to help me with my dental health. They're the greatest! read more

Mine is a complex case that was originally mishandled by another dentist. Dr. Shor was recommended as someone who could repair the problems and move forward with a clear dental plan. He did exactly that, and resolved all of my dental issues. I'm having more dental issues now - 4 years later, and once again, I received outstanding care. Dr. Shor is gentle, professional, and compassionate. He's non-judgmental, and focuses instead on how to resolve the situation. I would highly recommend Shor Dental to anyone who requires oral prosthetic devices, as well as standard dental care. read more

Dr. Shor rendered unexpectedly good and pain free care. I have had a wire behind and stabilizing the lower front teeth for years. Aggressive biting broke one away and I sought immediate care to rebond the loose tooth. Even if the bonding were successful, I expected continuing but hopefully gradually diminishing pain while I confined myself to soft foods. In a very pleasant surprise, I found that the half hour visit had restored full utility and I was pain free. He said he had done something that might help. I think he grasped the situation and repositioned the tooth slightly higher on the wire taking the load off the inflamed tissue in the socket. What a pleasant surprise! read more

I should note that I went to Eastlake Dental two years ago and hated it so much I haven't been back, so for all I know it's just marvelous by now. I should have known better than to act on the recommendation of a guy who kept a jar of mayonnaise in the office fridge to dip rolled-up pieces of cheap bologna in, who wore pleated purple pants, and who ended up getting himself fired when the department manager walked into the bathroom and found him accusing another guy of stealing his paper towel. But I thought going to a dentist near my office would be convenient. Be that as it may, at the time I went there, Eastlake Dental had the most awful kind of cloyingly-friendly receptionist, who wouldn't just let you sit there looking at a magazine but had to try to induce you to say things so she could agree fulsomely with them. If you didn't say anything she would just pretend you had, so that she could agree fulsomely with whatever it was she had pretended you had said. They made you fill out a long, long questionnaire all about what you thought your smile looked like and other such immaterial things, and then took a picture of you grimacing and of your upper and lower teeth (glistening, naturally, with spit) to print out and give to you, presumably in the hopes you would post it on your refrigerator and looking at it every day would bring on a crisis of confidence that would lead you to run to them with pleas to help, help, help, please make you look presentable, to heck with the cost. When I went for my initial exam, there was a new assistant who had just started that day. She didn't know what she was doing, so everything took a really long time, and she had the hiccups, as well. Every employee has to have a first day, and you can hardly blame a girl for having the hiccups, but as time went on it started to seem part of an innocuous-seeming but sinister pattern. They didn't have a panoramic x-ray, so they took half a billion of those bite-wing x-rays, with lots of overly cheery advice on how not to throw up. As part of what was starting to seem their quest to waste as much of my time as possible, they made me make an entirely separate appointment, between the initial exam and the cleaning, for a "consultation" on the state of my mouth. At this consultation I had to bite down on one of those gag-inducing x-ray films again, since they had somehow screwed up on developing the first one they took. At the cleaning, they had a fancy water-jet cleaning tool, but there was a problem with the water supply, so it kept overheating, and then the hygienist would turn it off and sit around waiting for it to cool down, and then try again, and it would overheat, and she would ask the assistant to fiddle with the valve, and the assistant would fiddle, to no avail, and then the hygienist would start up again, and the thing would overheat, and so on, until at long last she gave up and resorted to old-fashioned scraping with metal tools, which I heartily wished she'd just done in the first place. When I went for a filling, after a protracted wrestle with a rubber dam that was, I guess, supposed to keep things from falling down my throat, they finally got it placed right, whereupon the dentist proceeded to drill a hole in it. Then she and the assistant (who didn't, at least, have hiccups this time) debated at length what to do about that, eventually giving up and reverting to wadding my mouth with cotton rolls. In the meantime, this assistant and the other assistant, who kept walking back and forth along the hallway, carried on a running argument about whether or not there were tools missing from the tray my dentist was using. My confidence was undermined. Oh, and they were expensive, too. read more

Best dentist clinic I've been to. Been going there for the past 2 years. Alex is quick, courteous, and VERY knowledgeable. He does not push sales! He recommends options to you and leaves it up to you to decide to do it or not. Office staff Pam is super friendly. Routine cleaning is actually a GOOD experience for me. Even though my MetLife crap insurance doesn't cover much, I am however glad to stick with them. This is coming from a guy who has HATED dentists all his life... read more

Dr. Shor is awesome! I've been going there for a few years now. I had a terrible cleaning one time and told him about it. Next thing you know, I got flowers delivered to my work apologizing about my experience. He also said that from now on, he or his wife would specifically do my cleanings moving forward. Today I was caught in bad traffic headed to my appointment. I called them to let them know and to possibly cancel since I knew I was going to be 15 minutes late. They were very accommodating and said that it was totally okay and they were going to do as much as they could and they'll even go over my appointment time if needed. read more

I recommend Dr. Shor to everyone. I had my fillings done with different doctor but all of them were poorly done. I went to Dr. Shor Dental to fix them and had the most positive experience I've had at a dentist in quite awhile. He was very attentive and fixed all my teeth in 1 visit. I go back every time to do my cleaning as well. The dental hygienist is amazing and knows what she is doing. read more

Dr. Shor is a great dentist and does amazing work with care. I had some major dental work that he handled beautifully and even sent me a wonderful bouquet of flowers after the process was over to congratulate me on all the work being completed. How thoughtful is that?!?! He truly cared about my situation and worked to get it resolved. Dr Shore is wonderful. The front office is now run by Ruth, who is very nice. Pam was just as great. All and all... 5 stars! read more

I have been using Dr. Shor for several years now and am very pleased with his practice. I would highly recommend him read more

Have been going to Dr. Shor for years. I have recently become ill and my teeth and gums are a challenge. He and his entire team have treated me kindly gently and are seeing me more often than my insurance allows because it's medically necessary. They they take time and I couldn't be happier with the care I am receiving he's gracious his hygienist works overtime on my situation. I am very happy and recommend them highly. there is free parking in the parking lot at Washington State employees credit Union and they are right off Eastlake. read more

The last dentist I went to was a New Age sleazebag, so I came to Yelp to look for a good, solid practictioner, someone I could trust. I think I found him in Eastlake Dental. During my recent exam, Dr. Schor was very personable yet professional. He was very communicative during every step of the exam. He made recommendations, but didn't try to sell me on any procedure. His receptionist, Ruth, and his dental assistants were also very helpful and friendly. I will definitely be visiting him regularly from now on. read more

Mine will be the most recent review by 4 - 9 years; the previous positive reviews are quite old and things in the office have changed. I've been seeing Dr. A Shor for the past 4 or so years and during that time, have lost 4 molars and now have two implants, two more on the way. He does a very poor job at preventative care; once you lose your teeth under his watch, he does a beautiful job with crowns. I just switched to a new dentist and in the record transfer, saw that I hadn't had a periodontal exam in 2 1/2 years! I'd recommend him for cosmetic and restorative - he does beautiful work and you'll pay top dollar. But don't use him for prevention or maintenance - find a good dentist who will make sure you keep your teeth! read more

Dr. Shor and his staff are friendly and kind. They treat each client like a good friend and take great care in the work that they do. The staff is always happy and willing to listen to any of your concerns and answer questions. If they cannot offer a service, such as removing wisdom teeth, Dr. Shor will recommend a great orthodontic surgeon. I have been a patient of Dr. Shor for many years and always leave his office happy. I highly recommend visiting Dr. Shore! read more

Dr. Shor came highly recommended to do my implant work and I've been very happy with his work. I've never had a dentist spend so much time himself on me. He's very caring, meticulous, and careful. He's very available and has always made time for my many concerns about the complicated implant work I've been doing. He makes himself available to paitents at all hours and days. I left my former dentist after she expressed total glee at me needing an implant after an old root canal failed. She "did her best" to glue the old crown back in and didn't even clean or disinfect the old crown. It fell out again days later. By contrast Dr. Shor spent 20 minutes explaining my different options to to repair the missing tooth area. To give me time to think about the options he disinfected the old crown and and managed to glue the old one in so well that it was hard to remove 2 months later when it was removed for my implant surgery. My implant is going well and he works very closely with my surgeon. Dr. Shor has my highest recommendation. read more

Not that I like to disparage others' opinions or experiences, but I think that Rachel S.' review for Eastlake Dental COMPLETELY misses the mark. I have been a patient at Eastlake Dental for the last three years. I loved going to Dr. Michael Hrankowski and was saddened when he "semi-retired". However, the new dentist who took over for him, Alex Shor, is equally as good and pleasant to deal with. After years of NOT going to the dentist for fear of the chair, I found Eastlake Dental through a friend. I was completely impressed at the friendliness of the staff and in the process they used to consult with me on my care. While some may consider this a waste of time (two separate visits), I found that it helped me to budget for my care and to plan for it over the next two years. I was never made to feel guilty for not having gone to the dentist for so many years and was encouraged by the friendly atmosphere and state-of-the-art equipment. The office person/consultant, Pam, has become a fantastic friend and has been nothing but professional and helpful. In order to get my mouth back into some kind of reasonable shape, I went through a "four quadrant scaling". Once my mouth was healthy again, we started on the path of replacing old fillings and a replacement of an old veneer on one of my front teeth. I was sent to a lab in Bellevue for the design/creation of the veneer and I can honestly say, it's like a work of art! No would would ever know which of of my front teeth is not "real". So, are they pricey? Yes - but the care is top notch. You'll rarely wait more than 5 minutes for your appointment when you come in and the doctor does not have 8 patients in chairs at one time. Would I recommend them? Absolutely! read more

Probably the single best dentist I have ever had. The whole office is incredibly friendly and they go out of their way to help you! Dr. Shor is extremely nice and knowledgable and I wish I could keep him as my dentist forever! read more

Professional, fast, thorough. I don't want someone to hold my hand a lot or make a lot of talk, but I DO care about getting my technical questions answered! They strike just the right balance, AND they're close. A win. read more

I have been going to Shor Dental for the past 5 years and have been very happy with their practice. Everyone in the office is very kind and welcoming. I also appreciate that they do not recommend dental work that is not needed. Great practice! read more

Dr. Shor helped me when other Dentists could not. He is the most patient and caring Dentist I have ever been to. Because of Dr. Shor's precision and artistry I am no longer ashamed of my smile. It's amazing how much difference a caring Dentist and a wonderful outcome can make in your life! You'll also find the office atmosphere very comfortable because of his wonderful staff. One other thing I really appreciated, Dr. Shor and his staff kept the appts. running right on time......it's great to not have to wait! My husband, Gary, began seeing Dr. Shor, because of the positive experience I had. He has been going regularly now coming home without a whine.........this from a man who was phobic about dentistry since childhood and had pretty much avoided going to a dentist until finding Dr. Shor, believe me this borders on a miracle! read more

Dr. Shor is very knowledgeable, thorough, methodical, willing to explain his plans and answer your questions. He does not push sales and give you time to make up your mind. read more

These dentists are incredibly competent, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They actually care about your dental health and don't try to oversell you unnecessary medical procedures. They listen to you and are compassionate. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

I am a stay at-home mom with a busy schedule and Eastlake was one office that could accomodate my needs. When I first went to the office I was on a tight time limit and the assistant was aware of this. They got me right in and with a very thorough exam, I was right out. I have had two other appointments since this and have had nothing but great experiences! I would recommend this office to any of my friends and family. The staff is very friendly and fast. read more

I have not been to the dentist for many years and was very afraid to go. I was treated very well. I found out that using my Sonic care tooth brush had saved my teeth but by not flossing I was going to spend a huge sum of money on my gums in the near future. Now I have started flossing thanks to the straight up talk from Doctor Shor. And maybe can save thousands. They even gave me a flossing tool!! read more

Dr. Shor is an artist, a perfectionist when it comes to developing and enhancing the appearance of your smile. He is very serious about his work. Everything is professional, Ruth in the office and Dr. Shor's assistants are the best. read more

Because the bar for professional services is pretty high, I don't write reviews to recommend a service unless it has been consistently exceptional. This review of Eastlake Dental Care is to let the audience know why they are among the very best professional services I have ever worked with. Over the last year, I have undergone some reconstructive work under Dr. Alex Shor. In nearly two dozen visits, Dr. Shor and his staff, from the billing coordinator Ruth, to his assistant Terry, to the hygenist Denise, have treated me with the utmost thoroughness, patience, and sensitivity. Before starting a treatment, Dr. Shor met with me to explain to me the medical issues, to plan both a normal and an aggresive strategy, and to estimate the cost of the different strategies. He put health over aesthetics. He never pressured me to make a decision; he allowed me to dictate the pace of the treatment. He referred me to top-notch and equally-sensitive specialists for extractions and a root canal. He used the latest technology and creative detail to offer me the best treatment to match my strategy. He kept me informed about the progress of the treatment and was always available to answer my questions and ease my concerns. Dr. Shor's office is also easy to get to and has free parking. There are a lot of qualified prosthodontists to choose from in Seattle, but none of them can surpass the quality and service of Eastlake Dental Care. I recommend them wholeheartedly. read more
