Dr. Shahid is a skilled, compassionate and very comforting dentist. She works with obvious confidence and a sure hand. I really appreciate the care and concern she shows to my wife who has dementia. She makes going to the dentist a much more enjoyable and less stressful experience. Below is a photo of a lower front teeth bridge she just completed for me read more

SMILES ON 35th - Seattle Dentist - General Dentistry Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Wish I never went. Called yesterday after chipping my tooth (told them I just needed a polish down) and they said they could take me. I arrived to a very unwelcoming office and the dental assistant who took me back barely said a word to me. After sitting on the chair for 20 minutes or so I was told they couldn't do the work they originally said they could and I'd have to come back the next day. I made an appointment for today. Today I got a call and text asking if I could come in earlier, so I did, and subsequently wish I had listened to the bad vibes I got from them on day one. The dental hygienist who did the work was having problems even seeing the chip, never pulled out a mirror to look on the backside, and polished the shit out of my tooth and for some reason the one next to it (that had no chip!!!)? I've now got a wonky tooth where there was only a small chip previously. When I mentioned that it now had an angle to it I was told it matches the other tooth and that if I really wanted to, they would shave it down more. I will be going elsewhere for that and all other dental work. Oh, and for the pleasure of the inhospitable office and making my tooth all wonky I got to pay $142! read more

I really loved the environment this office offered me, Jill especially made me feel very heard and made me feel comfortable starting since I walked in the door till I left! Dr.shahid does a very good job explaining what my procedure will consist of. Definitely recommend!! read more

I came to Smiles on 35th after living in the city for a couple years. I hadn't found a dentist since moving to Seattle and came here when I had concerns about a couple teeth. Dr. Shahid and her team are incredibly welcoming, gentle, and transparent. It feels like seeing family when we come in each time, and I have recruited my family to come as well :) I would recommend Smiles on 35th for anyone looking to enjoy their trip to the dentist! read more

No one likes going to the dentist but as far as dentist's offices go this place is pretty great. Dr. Shahid is very kind and has great chair side manner. She has a lot of experience and is happy to sit down and talk me through all my options and why she's doing what she's doing. The hygienists are great too as is the admin/front desk staff. A friendly, bright place. The other cool thing about Smiles is it's a very modern practice. They have all kinds of imaging and other equipment that wasn't around when I was growing up. Lots of little touches to make the experience more comfortable-- the X-ray thing they put in your mouth isn't so sharp anymore! Overall I'm really happy I found this place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new dentist. read more

Been going to Dr. Shahid for a few years now, it's been great! Cleanings and procedures are always quick and painless.

This practice I haven't even gotten to visit as they have canceled or rescheduled my appointment 3 TIMES!!!! So they won't get my new business. I will Go elsewhere. Last cancellation was two days before appointment! read more

I always receive excellent care at Smiles. The team is highly experienced and I am always treated well. Kindness is very important to me especially in highly stressful situations like going to the dentist. Dr. Shahid, and her amazing team, are highly recommended. read more

Very weird and frustrating experience. After a routine cleaning & exam, fully covered by insurance, I started getting phone calls from Dr. Shahid's office wanting immediate credit card payment for unspecified additional charges. (No paper bill was sent to me). I finally spoke to an apparently more senior person in her office. I was told what the additional charges were for -- but that turned out to be something covered by insurance, that they had allegedly forgotten to bill my insurer for -- except they hadn't actually done the additional thing! (Ie., they wanted me to pay by credit card over the phone for a service they hadn't actually done, which would have been covered by insurance if it had been.) At this point, we went over the billing they had submitted to my insurance line by line, and it turned out they had actually billed my insurance for another procedure they hadn't actually done. This was all very unsettling, used up a lot of my time, and destroyed my trust in Dr. Shahid's practice. read more

I love this place and the people who work at Smiles on 35th. Everyone is kind, helpful and capable. I have had my teeth cleaned, received a crown, and know that I am always in good hands. Dr. Shahid is personable and takes her time explaining what she is doing. I was very nervous when I got my crown because she was working on a tooth in the back of my mouth. She gave me the time I needed to feel comfortable. She is always very respectful and mindful of my needs. Dr. Shahid and her staff are experienced and trustworthy. read more

Dr. Adatto is an outstanding dentist; he obviously loves his work, constantly learns new techniques and provides the best patient experience I have ever witnessed (I'm 73; a PhD in science). He has added implant skill and now makes his own crowns in house obviating the dreaded temporary crown and doing away with the second visit. He has a keen eye and spots and tracks issues to deal with them in a timely, expedient manner. Dental hygienists are superior both in skill and friendliness. The front desk crew are very skilled with the insurance and billing aspects among the other administrative duties. This is a highly professional, skilled and down to earth friendly crew. They add kindness, compassion, and customer service to a very professional practice. My wife is now also a happy customer and was glad I referred her. I recommend Dr. Adatto and his crew without reservation. read more

I've been coming to Smiles on 35th for a little while now and I love it! Every visit is quick and easy, Dr. Shahid is wonderful, and the whole staff is warm and friendly. Highly recommend. I don't even live in the neighborhood anymore. read more

wonderful dental office and care. Very caring staff. Easy to schedule appointment. Fair prices and accepts dental insuranc.

I had a really amazing experience at Smile on 35th. As someone who takes dental hygiene very seriously, I cannot recommend Smiles on 35th enough! Read on for more details about my experience. I came in and did a check up about 2 weeks ago and immediately a week after they started with my treatments on my crowns and fillings. The plan was so professionally done in 3 parts and in a really speedy fashion in that the crown was put in the same day without having to wait for a couple days to put the final crown in. My dentist and hygienist are very professional and resourceful that they figured out a plan to avoid doing a potential root canal. They are extremely friendly and very well organized. On top of that, they even took me for a little trip around the office so I can learn more about how the crowns are done :). read more

Very friendly staff and great service. I got my teeth cleaned here after not having a cleaning in about 8 years. The process was quick, simple, and painless. Also they currently have a promo for new patients who do not have insurance for cleaning, exam, and x rays, so that helped me out A LOT. read more

Literally the best dentist office I've ever been to in my life. I can't say enough good things about this place. From all of the receptionists to the dental assistants, to my dentist who I look forward to seeing. Yes, I said that.. I absolutely love this place and look forward to going. I couldn't give it a higher recommendation. I mistreated my teeth for many years and was very anxious about all the work that I needed to be done. Dr. Rubecca Shahid helped me to feel comfortable and confident in the treatment plan we chose. She is meticulous, she found every possible way to save me money. I cant believe how much progress I've made since I first walked through the doors. read more

This dental practice is outstanding. Dr. Shahid is very skilled and experienced. Just as important, she has an amazing bedside manner that is sincerely compassionate and calm mixed with a touch of humor. She will listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and naturally put you at ease. I feel like she tailors each dental treatment to my needs. The practice uses the latest technology whether to scan your teeth to make an on the spot crown or maintain all your records, forms and reminders electronically. The dental assistants and front desk staff are just as experienced and wonderful to interact with. They always make you feel like you're the only customer they are working with. Don't worry, you're not. They are a thriving practice. While they are located a bit further than I anticipated traveling for see a dentist, I wouldn't change dental practices. The entire experience makes it worth while. I've been there about five times now, some for routine cleaning and exams and others for more immediate needs. Always a positive experience. Thank you! read more

I just moved to the area and like a lot of folks haven't seen a dentist throughout the pandemic. I visited one office and while I really liked them, I wanted to get a 2nd opinion because their recommended treatment was kind of a lot. So I came to Smiles on 35th! The hygienist who worked with me, Jade, made me feel super welcome and comfortable right off the bat, and I felt that both she and Dr. Shahid were really upfront and honest with me and took the time to explain and describe possible treatment options. I left feeling more confident and optimistic about my treatment and eager to get back to the office in the future! Definitely recommend. read more

I've had some dental work that's needed to be done for a while that I've put off, and was very happy to find Smiles on 35th through the recommendation of a friend. I've been very happy with the dental work I've received and the overall positive atmosphere of the staff and each visit I've had. I highly recommend giving Smiles on 35th an opportunity to help you out with any dental work you need. read more

Had a great experience with regards to their work and staff both...very friendly and positive atmosphere...Dr. Rubecca Shahid and her team is just amazing....I not only receive the best service but also feel welcomed... read more

Friendly staff and great service. Always easy to get an appointment when I need one. Highly recommend.

Super attentive and empathetic dentist and hygienist, they spent extra time sitting with me and explaining things to me, and answering my questions. I'm really glad I went here, it's hard to find those human qualities in a dentist. read more

I just left my appointment with Dr. Shahid and immediately called my family to tell them to switch dentists. I learned more about my teeth, my jaw, alignment, etc. in 1 hour than I have my whole life. She was so knowledgable and patient with answering all my questions. All the staff, especially the dental hygienist (whose name I forget!) was so personable and kind. First time feeling excited to return to the dentist! read more

Thorough, excellent quality dental hygiene cleaning by the hygienists is consistently provided. Dr. Shahid is highly skilled and knowledgeable in the nuances of dental issues. She listens to and works closely with a patient to develop the plan of action. I unequivocally recommend Smiles on 35th given my experience with their team. read more

I would like to praise dental hygienist, Amanda. She has the most gentle touch. Having told her I had sensitive teeth, she made the entire cleaning procedure a pleasure. I can honestly say, this was my best cleaning experience ever! The staff are wonderfully friendly and welcoming. The appointments have never run late and the office communications are exceptional. I would unquestionably recommend this dental office. read more

I've been a patient of Dr Adatto for over 15 years and received exemplary care over the years. Dr Adatto is a solid guy all around! His hygienists are amazing. The office is clean, ever changing with latest technologies, friendly staff, yet a relaxed feel. I've had a few dental traumas that Dr Adatto has gone over and beyond to repair my teeth, replace and guaranteed his work. I required a couple veneers and ultimately received a dental implant. Dr Adatto ensured my safety, comfort, and best interests every step of the way. Over 3 years later, I'm so happy with the results. If you are looking for a Wedgwood neighborhood dentist, Dr Adatto is a wonderful choice. I drive from Queen Anne and it's definitely worth it. read more

Let me start by saying I HATE going to the dentist, I get so much anxiety and would always get judgy comments when I go due to not being able to go consistently. I decided to take a chance on Smiles due to being down the road from them and wow I'm glad I did! Dr. Shahid ,I feel, sensed my anxiety and would always check on me. She asked if I was okay and if I needed any more numbing medicine along with letting me know what she was doing so I wasn't surprised. I felt seen and heard! The fact that it's POC and women owned also made me feel at ease. The receptionist is always welcoming as well and accommodating with my Mondays only schedule. I feel very comfortable going there and I will be sure to recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist! read more

I've had two dentists in 38+ years. My first was a relative who I went to from childhood through high school. After I returned from college I needed a new dentist closer to my new residence and 15 years later I'm still going to Dr. Adatto. Overall my dental health is good with only a few cavities so the majority of my visits are for regular cleanings. Every few years I go in for a new cavity fill or to repair old work from my previous dentist. The office staff, hygienists, and Dr. Adatto are all very nice and make it a point to remember important personal facts from previous visits. This little detail goes a long way in making you feel a little more at home during your visit. This week I'll be going in for my first crown, a process that is completed in house over a few hours instead of the normal two visit process. Before deciding to get a crown Dr. Adatto was happy to discuss the pros and cons and probable maintenance period of each option whether refilling the cavity or installing a crown. Before I left they looked up my insurance coverage and handed me an estimate of what the crown would cost, how much insurance covered, and what I could expect to pay out of pocket. The office is up to date with the latest tools, training, and procedures making it feel like Dr. Adatto and staff are always seeking out the latest technology and techniques as dentistry materials and processes improve with time. My wife and I both love Dr. Adatto's practice and will be taking our daughter when it's time for her first cleaning!! read more

My experience here has been excellent. The staff and Dr. Shahid have a nice balance between being professional and making you feel comfortable. When you have questions, they do a great job explaining what they're doing and the reason. I've been very satisfied by the services I've received so far. read more

Larry Adatto truly cares. When i used to work for him in 2001, he put the patients before anything else. He personally handcrafts the shade of his crowns, this is an artistic brilliance that he has. His staff were great and very caring. He's the most ethical dentist that I have ever had the pleasure of working for. read more

I never write reviews, but felt the need to share what a positive experience I had. Originally came here because they accepted my insurance and was walking distance from my home. The receptionists and dental hygienists were all incredibly friendly and helpful. Dr. Adatto was also extremely nice, and I felt they he was giving me his honest opinion. 10/10 would recommend read more

Dr. Adatto has been my dentist ever since I first got teeth. I can never relate to people who are afraid of their dentist because he has ALWAYS made me feel so comfortable. When I was about 6 years old, I was racing my sister from the YMCA to the car and tripped, skinning my chin and chipping my canine tooth. It was after-hours but, when my mom called, he immediately met us at the office to make sure my teeth were okay. Years later, that permanently blood stained canine was the last baby tooth to fall out. Dr. Adatto also helped my mom get back to having white teeth after they were stained by acne medication in her teens. read more

I never do reviews, always intend to, but I never get around to it. But this time, I just have to!! Had a 2.5 hour procedure to replace an old broken bridge just today. This procedure requires a painful shot to the roof of the mouth - I have had them before and these are so painful for me. But Dr. Adatto has a special technique and it worked!!! That was the intro to my experience. And the rest was just as great. He is attentive, gentle, truly interested in how you are doing, and does amazing work. And his assistants are clearly top notch. I have one appointment to go, and I am certain I will end up with a high-quality bridge and a new dentist for life!!! read more

The two stars are because the dental assistants, hygienists, and Dr. Shahid are kind people, but I can't say the same for the front office staff. I witnessed one receptionist being rude to an elderly gentleman and this same person was not friendly to me either. Her customer service skills need work. I had been seeing Dr. Adatto for 10 years at this location prior to his retirement every six months for cleaning and check ups. I had a "watch" on a tooth, but no other concerns to report. After my first visit with Dr. Shahid, I was told I needed a new bite plate, partial crown, and a filling. In retrospect, I should have questioned it at the time, but took their recommended treatment minus the filling. I'm unhappy with the bite plate and the partial crown still gives me issues when I floss. I'm sad to report my "ambulance chaser vibe" from Smiles on 35th are correct. After I visited my new dentist, I still have a "watch" on the same tooth that does NOT need a filling and I was told my original bite plate didn't need to be replaced. Beware. read more

I would definitely recommend Dr. Adatto's practice to anyone who wants a great dental experience. I have been going to Dr. Adatto's office since I was a kid. We (my husband and I) have only had wonderful experiences. And the massage chairs make going to the dentist as comfortable as possible! The staff is very friendly and goes out of the way to make us feel comfortable. The office is clean. I have always been taken in on time - which is very helpful since I often leave work in the middle of the day for the appointment. I have had routine cleanings, night guards, extractions and bleaching. All of the situations have been as positive as they could be (given that I had my teeth pulled) :) read more

I have been going to Dr. Adatto for about 10 years. Before that I went to a few different dentists but couldn't find one with whom I felt really comfortable. I appreciate that Dr. Adatto only recommends the work that makes sense. He doesn't push me to re-do filings that are holding up fine, but does keep me updated if a particular tooth is not holding up well. I appreciate his honesty tremendously. His office has top-notch equipment and they work efficiently, which is why I don't mind driving 30 minutes to his office. There are plenty of dentists with closer offices, but it's worth the trip to feel safe and well cared for. His hygienists are great and I have never had a billing issue. read more

I've been a patient for a couple years now and I've had nothing but good experiences here all around. Quality dental care, super staff, great patient care, billing always spot on. read more

I was forced to go to this dentist because they were one of the few in the area to take my insurance. I have never had a more uncomfortable and painful dentist experience, nor a dentist more thoughtless on what his actions were doing to the patient. Secondly, I had verified the cost of the procedure and what my insurance would pay, but after walking out of the horrid chair with my mouth numb and swollen, I was presented a bill for nearly twice what I had been quoted and asked to pay on the spot. I was already traumatized by the procedure, couldn't speak, didn't have the money and contacted them after to talk about the bill. They refused to acknowledge the written quote, made up some nonsense about why it was so. I refused to pay them the amount, they sent me to collections and are now suing me. Do not use this dentist if you want someone who practices dentistry fairly and without pain. read more

Dr. Adatto has been my dentist for a few years now. I struggled with finding a dentist I liked in Seattle. I have finally found one! The staff are all very friendly and the dentist takes the time to talk to you about how you and your teeth are doing. read more

Dr. Adatto is super competent and just plain adorable! I recommend him to everyone who will listen, including my own husband, who puts up with me calling him "Dr. Cutie" (I mean that in the most respectful way possible!) I had to have my first cavity filled by his assistant and it went off without a hitch. He is serious about prevention and is genuine about getting to know his patients. The staff is equally professional and friendly. When I first came to Seattle I was only 24 and hadn't lived for long outside my home state, and so my healthcare providers were always tried and true recommendations from my family. Navigating the system myself was a bit daunting, but fortunately I found good reviews for Dr Adatto and went with him, and I'm pretty darn smug about it! Finding great providers, like Dr. Adatto and his staff, makes Seattle feel more like home. read more
