Never in a million years did I envision myself writing a review for a dentist office. This was hands down the best cleaning experience I've had in my life. The place felt like a spa with how chique and clean the decor was. The fact that the forms asked you what your music/tv preferences are and then had them playing as you walked into your room...amazing. The hygienist was extremely helpful and kind. Dr. Nguyen gave my teeth the compliments and recognition I've been needing my whole life. Walked out smiling not only because my teeth were clean but I was genuinely happy :D. read more

I used to go to a dentist that was super cheap, but was swayed to visit Dr Yen when she was advertising her opening in the neighborhood with some pretty nice new patient offers. I've been going to see Dr Yen since she opened the office, and I'm really happy that I made the switch! First of all, Dr Yen is the sweetest person and always makes me feel like a dear friend when I visit. Secondly, the office is absolutely beautiful and they really try to make your visit a positive experience. When I filled out my initial application they ask what types of shows and music I like. Every time I visit, a playlist from my favorite band is already playing in the exam room which is a great touch. You can also watch Netflix shows during your exam. But onto the important stuff - the dental work! I really appreciate that Dr Yen, even with all of her fancy equipment and new-construction office, is not a pushy money grabbing dentist. She has always been very reasonable and thoughtful with her treatment plans, never pushing any unnecessary treatments or services, while also having great attention to detail during her exams and fillings (the only treatment I've ever gotten here so far). read more

Folks: if you have always cringed going to the dentist, cringe no more! At Union Street Dental, the owner, Dr. Yen, and her dental team are there for you to ensure that your dental experience is as painless as possible. The skeptical side of you asks: "Is that even possible?" Yes. First off, the interior is very clean and modern looking. You also are given a mug for Keurig coffee while you wait. During the actual cleaning, the dental hygienists and Dr. Yen are very patient-oriented - and this is based on my experiences with dental personnel in the past - in that they will make sure you are comfortable amidst the whole process. They will ask, for example, for you to raise your left hand if you are feeling any sort of discomfort, as well as will tap your chin when they want you to close/open wider your mouth. Another [notable] difference with Union Street Dental is that during your specific visit your room will have speakers busting music out of them. What kind of music, you ask? Music preferences derived from the initial questionnaire you filled out, that is! This means that essentially every time I am at Union Street Dental my music preferences (apparently stuck in the early 2000s) of Neyo, Jason Derulo, and Usher will be graciously welcoming my presence! Following my first visit at Union Street Dental, I was given a complementary Soniccare electronic toothbrush. Yup. But what takes the cake is that during the cleaning, your room is equipped with a private TV above you with Netflix - yes, that's right, you can Netflix and Chill while your teeth are being cleaned (a different kind of Netflix and Chill). Do be mindful, however, to not watch anything comical: I remembered my last visit I was watching Bojack Horseman and ultimately ended up bursting in laughter while my teeth were being deep cleaned. Oops! read more

This place makes you feel so comfortable and the dentist walks you through everything. The whole staff is so kind and charming. I totally recommend Union Street Dental. read more

If you're looking for a spa experience, this is the dentist for you. If you're looking for a thorough cleaning and dentistry you can trust, you might consider going elsewhere. The office is cute and modern with lots of amenities. The cleaning lasted maybe 20 mins and didn't feel thorough. The Dr came in and glanced quickly at my teeth and the pictures and declared I have 8 cavities. I've never had a cavity in my life so naturally I was shocked and skeptical. I went and saw a different Dr for a second opinion and they said I don't have any cavities, that what may have been referred to as cavities are just stains on my molars, which adds up bc there is no pain or sensitivity. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a dentist that is trust worthy and just go to a real spa! read more

Is it weird to love going to the dentist? Because now that I use Union Street Dental, I love my dentist visits. The office is utterly adorable and comfortable. Each room has personalized music and a television to distract yourself from the dental care. They even have cozy blankets and warm face towels to optimize your comfort. Most importantly, the care here is unparalleled. The dental hygienists (especially Charlotte) are exceedingly friendly and do a wonderful job cleaning my teeth. On my first visit, the staff took a full set of x-rays and photos which were completely covered by my insurance. Whereas previous dentists have brushed off my TMJ pain, Charlotte vand Dr. Yen identified the source at my first visit. I was fitted for a custom night guard which was worth every penny as it has eliminated my pain. I've also had cavities filled and teeth repaired here. Dr. Yen makes the experience incredibly painless and as comfortable as possible. I genuinely cannot recommend this dental office highly enough. read more

I made an emergency appointment at union street dental because I am having extreme pain in one of my teeth. To the point where I can't eat or drink anything at all on the right side of my mouth. The dentist did tests on my tooth, one of which was extremely painful ice on the tooth, which amplified the pain in my tooth even more to the point where today I can't even drink water out of fear of it touching my tooth. At the end of the appointment, the dentist said she couldn't find anything, and after explainer to her that I have to literally drink hot water in order to drink water and not be in extreme pain, she patronizingly tells me "sometimes I brush my teeth with hot water too" and said I should get a moth guard. I feel completely ignored and not not listened to. Meanwhile the ice tests left my tooth in worse condition and I am still only able to use one side of my mouth. Horrible experience. read more

I've had plenty of horrible dentist experiences. I've received unnecessary fillings, incorrect placement of crowns, and many other terrible stories. Dr. Yen Nguyen-Tran has been the exception. She is beyond incredible, patient centered, and listens to my concerns thoroughly. She takes great pride in establishing that I'm comfortable and that the environment reflects that. Her team is professional and takes many steps to ensure the office is clean, using the latest technology, and that patients feel seen, heard, and comfortable. I'm not alone in saying that Union street dental is home for me and many others. Thank you again Dr. Yen Nguyen-Tran, you have truly made my experience memorable. Thanks for all you do for the community. read more

They are just amazing. After going to another dentist for an emergency when they were not open, I am so sorry that I just didn't wait. They never rush you and Dr. Yen always go overs all the different options with you, and makes sure you feel comfortable. read more

WOW! Who would have thought that going to the dentist could be such an enjoyable experience?! I'm literally so excited that a dental office and dental team like this exists in Seattle. The office is beautiful. Everything from the decor down to the energy in the office feels like that of a yoga studio. The space is airy and calming and I waked out of there wishing I worked in a place like that. So how do you top having such a beautiful office? You have the most amazing dentist and team, obviously. I couldn't believe how friendly the ENTIRE staff was. Dr. Yen made me feel very comfortable and I could tell that she really cares about the health of her patients. I went in for a new patient check up where I got x-rays and a teeth cleaning. I have to go back next week to get some cavities filled and is it weird that I kind of can't wait?! read more

Love this place! I've been going here for a couple years and every visit is fabulous. Lily is so sweet and she always knows who I am even though we only see each other every 6 months. The hygienists are gentle and Dr. Yen is very informative when she checks my teeth. I wasn't very mindful of my brushing habits but they'll pinpoint me to the areas that need a little more attention. I was developing a cavity on one of my molars and I was so grateful that we caught it in time so I could avoid the filling! They are also super dog friendly which is a huge plus read more

This is a long overdue review. Dr. Yen Nguyen-Tran is the sweetest, kindest, and most considerate dentist I have ever gone to. I had a metal wire(given after braces) that always come off easily whenever glued by other dentists over the years, Dr. Tran made sure that it is glued to my teeth permanently this time and without ever shifting again. Dr. Tran is incredibly honest and transparent about every aspect of the dental care she provides. She gives you all your options, takes the time to walk you through every step, and discusses all the risks and benefits so that you are comfortable and well-informed with the procedure. Union Street Dental is the most aesthetically pleasing and state-of-the art dental practice I have ever seen. It is evident that a lot of thought went into every detail of the practice. She was incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. I had a great experience at Union Street Dental, I'd highly recommend Dr. Tran and her wonderful team. read more

I'm so glad to have found my new dentist, Dr. Yen Nguyen-Tran. My old dentist retired and I tried out Dr. Yen by referral. She had an immediately wonderful and welcoming bedside manner and was extremely knowledgeable and transparent throughout the entire process. She was also down to earth which I appreciated. My hygienist was also great--very thorough, gentle and easy-going. Their office is modern, comfortable and even visiting during the pandemic, I felt quite safe and that their protocols for COVID were very well established. I look forward to my next visit! read more

Dr. Yen is the best dentist ever! I started with her a year or two ago and she has led me through the process of getting my smile where I want it to be. I always feel taken care of when I am in her office. The experience is great and feels very personal. All of her staff is so kind and does their best to attend to your needs. I recommend her to anyone in the Seattle area in need of a wonderful dentist :) read more

I've never been one to care that well for my teeth and I had some issues with my teeth that I could no longer ignore. (huge cavity and chipped teeth) Lily in the front desk was very quick in getting back to me and getting me scheduled next day. All the assistants and Dr Yen was extremely friendly. I have had dentist in the past that give me a hard time of not being as attentive as I should be but this was not the feel at this place. I felt they only cared about making me comfortable and getting my teeth back in order. So far I have had a couple teeth fill and two large crowns on my front teeth, My teeth have never sat so well within my mouth. I no longer have discomfort and can smile with my teeth now. I will continue to go here and would highly recommend anyone to come check these guys out. read more

From the moment you walk in, you get a sense that this is not your normal dental office. Warm environment and modern interior put you at ease. You get to pick your own music and have a private TV while in the dental chair. My husband said it was the most comfortable numbing experience he has had for a filling (and he has had quite a few fillings). Dr. Yen spends a lot of time with you explaining all the options and what needs to be done and we never felt rushed. We will continue to come back to Dr. Yen and Union Street Dental. read more

Dr Yen is amazing! First of all I do not like going to the dentist like most people. The thought of the needle and drilling... bad. But Dr Yen is so good that I enjoy going to the dentist now and I'm not afraid anymore. I've always always felt the needle when the Dentist injected my cheek ever since I was a kid. Hated it with a passion! Dr Yen was the very first one where I didn't feel anything. She was so careful and slow that I didn't even know that she injected the needle. She is super caring and was always asking about my confort. I had 3 cavities and she told me that my jaw may be sore from the fillings. I had no soreness and I was able to eat within the hour! The staff was very friendly and it's a new office so everything is brand new. They have these huge TVs in each room so you can not only see your X-rays as Dr Yen explains your needs, but you can watch shows as she works on you as a distraction. I love the warm face towels and blanket they give you to make the experience as comfortable as possible. I also like how Dr Yen gives you multiple options and let's you choose what you want. THE best dentist I've ever been too.... read more

I had a last-minute appointment scheduled cause I was starting to get a toothache, and they fit me in as a new patient, and when they discovered I had a broken tooth they scheduled me immediately for a repair. They asked my music preferences to have it playing in the room AND they asked for my favorite tv show. They gave me a blanket while operating, headphones to listen to the show, and a hot towel to warm and soothe my face after the procedure. I'm normally scared and anxious about the dentist, but Dr. Yen and her team had me totally at ease. I already have a regular new-patient exam scheduled and am so glad I've found a dentist that cares for me as a person. read more

It had been years since I'd gone to the dentist, and when another clinic suggested that I pay huge amounts of money for a special deep cleaning due to gum disease, I went to Dr. Yen for a second opinion. They listened to my concerns and gave me a chance to help change my flossing and brushing habits at home and followed up in a few months. Ever since then, my gums have looked better than ever! No special cleaning required. I am so grateful to have a dentist that listens and puts my needs first. It's really motivated me to take better care of my teeth. I love going to the dentist now and recommend this office to everyone I know. read more

My experience here was great! The receptionist was really friendly and accommodating to the mess that I usually am (didn't have my dental id, a little late, etc). The clinic itself is gorgeous, which is so rare for any dental clinic. I was getting married a week after and they were able to get in a last minute appt for me to get Zoom White. They prepped me saying I needed to use sensodyne immediately for it to hurt less on the phone when I made the appt and told me to take some ibuprofen before. I was a little shocked when I was filling out the forms because they asked who my favorite singer was and what my favorite show was. Well, I got to the room and they had Britney Spears Radio on in the room and Animal Planet playing on the television screen. DREAM COME TRUE. It took about an 1.5-2 hours for the whole Zoom White procedure and I left with very white teeth and trays with bleach to keep my teeth white. Yen, the dentist came around many times to make sure my teeth were okay and to make sure I wasn't hurting to bad. While they hurt a little bit after because of the bleach and the UV rays applied to my teeth, i was perfectly fine the next day and ready to go on with my busy life! I would HIGHLY recommend Union Street because you can tell they truly care about service. read more

I have been going to Dr. Yen when she was in Tacoma. But I was so unhappy with my services after she left. So now I drive 1 hour to go see her in Seattle! Her dental office is SO cute and SO clean. Her staff and my hygienist made sure I was totally comfortable from beginning to end. From playing the music genre that I like, to what I want to watch on Netflix, hot towel at the end, blanket to keep my warm abs comfy, etc etc etc. DEF worth the drive. Seriously THE best! read more

I let a few years get away from me, and had a lot of anxiety going back to the dentist. Dr Yen Nguyen-Tran and her staff couldn't have been nicer and kinder to me. I'm so happy that I tried a new place and it worked out so well. Very lovely and pleasant office, too. I'd recommend this office to anyone. read more

The best of the very best! Dr. Yen Nguyen-Tran and her dental team are amazing! The moment you walk into her dental office it is like being at a chic spa. The waiting area is absolutely beautiful and relaxing, and the oil diffuser has a spa like scent coming from it. The staff are really friendly, warm, and attentive. Dr. Yen makes you feel special in personalizing your experience from putting on the music you like, loading up your favorite TV show, to creating a personalized dental plan for you. She is professional, kind, caring, positive, cheerful, and all around wonderful person. I feel really well taken care of when I'm there for everything to cleanings, fillings, zoom whitening, and night guard care. In the rooms you get a blanket, music or TV with Netflix and headphones, and a warm towel to wipe your face at the end. She takes a lot of time with you to make sure you are comfortable and getting all of your dental needs met. I highly recommend Dr. Yen! Tell them Jennifer B. sent you ;) read more

I am so happy to be there for take my teeth, they work so professional and great job , this is a third time in one year that they took care my teeth and all families also. Compare another dental , Union Street Dental is the best in Seattle, I love it and continue to visit it for every 4 month , I had preferred my friends to visit too ... we are the Boeing employees Thank you Union Street Dental read more

Dr Yen Nguyen-Tran is super kind. I absolutely loved my hygienist - She was super patient and kind. The dentist always gives me a lot of anxiety, but very impressed by the staff today. Thankful to have found them! read more

I was referred to Dr. Yen by a coworker and I will be forever grateful. The office is relaxing, the staff are all super nice and very supportive. They make sure my insurance is used to its fullest capacity before I pay put of pocket. They explain everything in detail so I know exactly what they are doing. They made me feel comfortable and at ease with everything before starting any work. A blanket, music if my choice and a movie screen to watch if i want. I had some serious work done my last visit and Dr. Yen called me after hours just to make sure I was doing ok. I am so thankful I found this place! They are amazing! read more

Wonderful office with all the gadgets and tools needed to feel at ease and get out on time. My 7 year-old was treated like a mermaid-princess! I appreciate the staffs demeanor, patience, and professionalism. read more

Union Street Dental - Great job taking care of my glittery mermaid's pearly whites! - General Dentistry Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is the most comfortable dental experience I've ever had in my life! Union Street Dental is like the Judy Jetson of dental offices. I didn't know a dental experience could be so lavish with a TV playing my favorite show while music plays in the background. All the distractions really help to drown out any of the dental noises. Dr. Yen Nguyen is truly a pleasure. She is very informative and gentle with her technique. Plus, after my teeth cleaning I got a choice of a free teeth whitening kit or an electric tooth brush as a promotion that was running. When going back for some fillings, I didn't even feel the needle going in for the numbing medication. I am beyond impressed with the level of service all around. I've since moved to Rainier Beach but it's worth the drive to come back twice a year for a place that gives quality care. read more

My experience with Dental Offices have always been okay. The waiting rooms are always the same. The chairs are always uncomfortable. Now this Dental Office turned my experience around! Very modern and new. There is updated music playing and not elevator music. Very friendly staff and Dr. Yen is amazing! I went for a checkup and also had my wisdom teeth extracted, both went so smooth. Also you can listen to music and watch netflix while you are getting your teeth cleaned, so the time goes by very fast. I recommend bringing your own headphones. This will be my future dental office and I recommend if for anyone looking for a dental office. read more

I used to be in the dental field and my mom is a dental hygienist and my dad is a dentist...so basically, I have high expectations. This place did everything perfectly. The front desk was on point with their insurance knowledge and scheduling. The hygienist (I wish I remembered her name ) was so incredibly nice and knowledgeable. The doctor was efficient, kind, and informative. I'll definitely be referring friends and family. Thank you! read more

Dr. Yen is an excellent dentist. I have always dreaded general dentistry and she is extremely dedicated towards ensuring your appointment is as comfortable as possible. She's also pretty funny! Just two weeks ago I had to get some fillings done, and needed to be numbed. The biggest part I dread are the needles in your mouth! But she had mastered the technique of somehow making it impossible to even detect any puncture. And the filling itself was a breeze. Long story short: I am actually excited to go to the dentist and see Dr. Yen and her staff every appointment. If you've been oo read more

BEST DENTAL EXPERIENCE EVER! I just got out of my first routine cleaning at Union Street Dental in the CD of Seattle and is it weird that I didn't want to leave? Not only is the space clean and new and sparkly, the people who work there are super knowledgable, professional, and sweet! Charlotte and Dr. Yen explained everything very well to me and were so helpful with planning a dental treatment for the upcoming months. I got to watch Netflix while my teeth were cleaned by Charlotte and the lobby had grab bowls of floss, toothbrushes, and travel toothpaste! A+ atmosphere AND service! Definitely worth the switch over to if you are in Seattle (they have only been open a year) read more

Nicely designed office with a lot to like in terms of comfort and experience while in the chair (music preferences customized to you, netflix if you want it). I can not recommend due to the fact that they engage in some sort of upsell at every single visit (even as part of routine preventative care). I recommend finding a dentist who will treat needed ailments and avoid unnecessary services and procedures. read more

Best dental experience in a long time! It almost feels like a mini spa at this office. They treat you right and are affordable. They offer a variety of music or Netflix during your treatments. A warm towel for your face when you're done, and a cozy blanket during your chair time is really a nice touch. I'm so lucky this is in my neighborhood and my insurance network. Dr. Yen is very caring and knowledgeable and one of the best dentists I've met. My wonderful hygenists Erin and JoLynn were very compassionate and skilled. Usually my cleanings are a bit painful, but they made sure I was comfortable the whole time. My dental assistant Lily was very accommodating and kind. Lily at the desk took the time to review any fees and go over a plan that made sense with my insurance, answering any questions. Everyone there was so nice and friendly. What an excellent team and great experience for something that can be a bit stressful. I'm so happy to have found this clinic! read more

I've always dreaded my bi-annual dental check-ups until I came across Union St. Dental. I've been going for a couple years and I can tell Dr. Yen is passionate and dedicated to her practice through her ability to provide detailed, yet gentle service, ensuring a painless, seamless experience every appointment. During my last visit she informed me on my white spot "cavities" from having braces and thoroughly walked me through her process of filling them in before placing invisalign and made sure I left with no questions whatsoever. Her hygienists are always so kind and thorough, always taking extra steps to make sure I'm never in discomfort. The office atmosphere embodies complete and utter tranquility with its modern decor, personalized music playlist, and the ROKU tv which allows me to catch up on the Office while I relax in the dentist chair! What a great touch! I'll never settle for another run-of-the-mill dental office again! read more

The most beautiful, modern, gorgeously designed dental office I've ever seen. I found the place so inviting. My intake paperwork had some interesting questions such as 'favorite tv show?', 'favorite artist/music genre?' And figuring they were doing research for their office playlist I obliged only to get seated and comfy in my exam chair only to hear my favorite artist playing and my favorite show displayed on the flatscreen in front of my chair. It was a refreshing and surprising experience. Not only that, Dr. Yen was attentive, thorough and has a very gentle, yet effective way of communicating with her patients. Could not wish for more from a dentist. Thank you for the great experience. No one likes the dentist, but they make it as good a possible experience to have. read more

My old dentist retired and, like many of us, I don't really enjoy the whole dental experience so I put off finding a new one for a couple of years. Finally I made an appointment at Union Street Dental and boy, did I find the right place! I have some potentially bad dental problems but both my hygienist Erin and Dr. Yen did a fantastic job of making me feel comfortable and put my fears at rest by focusing on the positive things rather than the negative. I also had no idea a trip to the dentist could be almost a spa-like experience. A warm towel for my face infused with essential oils after my cleaning? 'Yes please! Plenty of options in terms of videos or music to enjoy while the team does their work too. The fact that I'm actually looking forward to my next visit speaks volumes about the quality of care at Union Street Dental. read more

I'd been looking forward to trying the new dental office in my hood and I'm very happy I gave them a go. Everyone I dealt with there was super friendly and down to earth. The equipment is state of the art, and I feel the prices are fair. I chose their yearly membership option, so for $399 I get 2 cleanings, all the exrays I need and 10% off all their other services. All that plus no parking to pay for. If it hadn't rained that day, I'd have walked. A great addition to the area, glad they are there! read more

I don't have an issue with Dr. Yen personally, she seems very kind. But I don't like her policies and some of her staff. I'm not sure if the front-desk person is still there but she wasn't very unsympathetic and quite difficult. When I came here for my first check-up, I was told I had three cavities that needed work. Dr. Yen put then in order of one another, which was great. But I couldn't get an appointment for two months. Seriously!? I then wound up sick with ear infections and a bronchitis so had to cancel my two subsequent appointments, each were set out at least 2-3 weeks each time due to her schedule. I then asked the front desk if Dr. Yen could just look at my tooth as I'd developed asthma from the bronchitis I caught. I was told, "If you are scheduled to get it worked on, that's what you do.. period. You can't just have her look at it. Pick one or the other." That really turned me off. I wound up having the work done by another dentist and this was four months later after all the hassle. I now have to have my tooth pulled because of the long wait times. I wish I had never waited for these appointments and just gone back to my original dentist, despite the longer drive. It's very easy for downtown Seattle dentists to fall into the trap of the 'revolving door' and never ending stream of of patients. They want more and more business vs being courteous to the patients they have. read more
