After having to go back because it hurt more than before it was"fixed" and then saying it looked fine it continued to get even worse for about a month and I went back and they said they have to redo it. Having to sit through another numbing session of a doctor and his coworker talk about their lives like I wasn't even there it was finally "fixed". It was all paid for previously but apparently they messed up my insurance and I told me I had to pay another 160$ for it. Not a great experience and more expensive than it should've been. Also my tooth still hurts often.

Our housecleaning professional recommended Optimal Dental, which is about a 7-10-minute drive from my home. So convenient.

I'll never be totally fear-free, but changing to Optimal was the best move my teeth ever made.

Dr. Odegard has been my dentist for over 12 years- when I lived nearby in Renton, when I lived in Seattle, and even now that I live in Everett. I would never consider switching to another dental office. If you are wondering why I'm so crazy about Dr. Odegard's office, don't worry, I'll tell you! - Excellent dentists. Dr. Odegard and Dr. Amin are wonderful. They do excellent work, they take their time, make sure you're comfortable, they are friendly, and they take the time to explain everything to you. -Wonderful Hygienists/Dental Assistants. One of the reasons why these dentists do such amazing work! I think they're the backbone of the office. They are all extremely knowledgeable, highly efficient, and really nice people. -Super front desk crew. Everyone is so friendly and I've never had any problems with billing. If my insurance company needs to be contacted, they handle it and keep me on the loop. They're always so patient when I take forever trying to decide when I want to schedule my appointment or if I need to reschedule. -A really nice space. I was lucky and had the corner room for my last appointment. You never feel crammed in like a sardine in this office. Oh, and I came in to get a crown and they made it and put it in that day. I was so thankful that I didn't have to drive back down for another appointment. I highly recommend Dr. O's office!

Why one star? In December Dr. Le worked on a crown and during that session he drilled into my…read moretongue and cheek. It took weeks to heal and I still have some scar tissue that I had another dentist examine. The whole ordeal was very painful for my tongue. Later, when the Novocain wore off on my cheek, there was a lot of pain there too from the drill damage. At the time it happened my mouth would fill up with blood, and I had to keep swallowing it because everyone left the room. (he sees multiple patients at one time - chaos). I told him at the time there was a lot of damage to my tongue and he waved that off saying: "little cut". Well, it was a LOT more damage than a little cut both on the tongue and where he drilled into the cheek. When he works on you his hands shake and as another reviewer said it appears he has some kind of problem. When I got to my car I called my wife and told her the situation. By the time I got home she had looked up other reviews and found numerous references to the hands shaking. I quote them below: "Also, the dentist shakes like he has parkinsons. I am sorry if he does have a disease that causes him to tremmor, but maybe not the best profession." Frank M. one star review Yelp "Run away from this psycho dentist from Hell! He's freaking crazy and his hands shake up when he's doing your teeth.." Meme I. Yelp "Yes, his hands shake .." Nicole C. Yelp I've had several doctors tell me I have a high tolerance for pain)" L.P. Yelp "DO NOT GO HERE. It seems that the dentist has some kind of neurological disorder that effects his motor skills and he cannot control his hands very well. This causes him to be really rough and clumsy when he is drilling etc. He even dropped the drill inside my mouth while it was still engaged, causing a hole to be drilled through the underside of my tongue - I was bleeding everywhere. He did not apologize or anything but acted like it was totally normal." Ed Tinker Google Maps review

Her staff was personable enough, but the work she did was so terrible I had to get it RE-DONE just weeks later. My new dentist was appalled that she would have allowed me to leave her office and arranged to have x-rays sent to my insurance company to explain why I had to have re-work done so quickly. The insurance company and my new dentist asked that she PAY ME BACK for the work she did. I went in for regular dental work and needed two fillings. I warned her up front that since I was a pre-teen, I have had a very abnormal reaction to numbing agents. It takes A LOT to get my numb. This is because I have a central nerve that runs VERY close to the surface. I have had multiple doctors confirm this. She said okay, no problem. When the work started she gave me one round of numbing and tried to start work. I told her, "I'm sorry this is very painful. I told you I am a little different." She said, "Oh you just need some more time for it to work." OK. She tried again 15 mins later. Again, INTENSE pain. I said, "Please, I am telling you, this is still painful." She reluctantly gave me another round and waited another 20 mins. (Mind you I am now 45 mins in the chair and nothing has been done). She tried again and I said it was better, but still could feel things. She said, "You shouldn't be able to feel this." And I reminded her for a THIRD time that I have a different physiology than many. She then leaned into me and asked, "Well I know you may not want to say this, but are you on drugs?" EXCUSE ME?!! "Well this would happen if you were a heavy recreational drug user. You should just tell me if you're an addict. That would make this easier." I was STUNNED. I had warned her prior to doing ANY of this that I have had trouble with numbness and THIS was her reaction?! It sadly bears stating, that I am a black woman... I hope that is not why she made this ridiculous and offensive assumption, but ..... "NO." I told her. "I am NOT an addict or drug user. This is exactly what I told you about before we started nearly an hour ago." "OK if you insist... but it really would make things easier." I wanted to get up and walk out, but I am now mid-drilling (she did SOME before I couldn't take the pain anymore) and I didn't know how to leave with my mouth LITERALLY mid-procedure. When she finally gave a final round of numbing agent and I could take it. But since we were so far behind she kept stopping the work and going to work on OTHER PATIENTS in the middle of my procedure. Finally 2 hours in on 2 fillings, she barely buffed my fillings and said...OK you'll have to come back another time for me to finish. The feeling in my mouth was UNBELEIVABLE. The filling was so rough I could feel my tongue was going to be rubbed raw. My jaw was ACHING (I have TMJ) from holding it open for 2 hours. And what I didn't know is that her work was so harsh that my gums would recede. They are STILL (a year later) not normal and I have to have my new dentist put a protective sheath around them every 6 months or so to prevent pain because my gums have never been normal again around those teeth. My new dentist is lovely. She Immediately LISTENED when I told her about my issue with numbing and I have NEVER had a problem again. When she saw the work Dr. Nguyen had done, she was so disturbed she said she wanted to make sure she documented the HORRENDOUS work she did so that it could be corrected without me having to pay out of pocket. (Insurance companies will not pay for duplicative work in the same 6 month period without documentation.) The insurance company agreed to pay -- process that. I asked my new dentist what I should do about this. I was traumatized, discriminated against and my teeth were REALLY messed up. She said the only thing I could do would be to ask for the portion of the work I paid for to be returned. When I called Dr. Nguyen's office to explain. Her staff was again, kind but all I received from her was a folded blank piece of paper in the mail from Advanced Dentistry, with a check for $248. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE Dr. NGUYEN YOUR BUSINESS.
