Why We’re Different

We’re people pleasers. From treating you like one of our closest friends to taking as much time as necessary to see to your needs, our role in your smile’s health is extremely rewarding to us.

Each of our staff members is hand-selected for how well we work together and the vision that we share. We incorporate the Kois Dentistry methodology, which focuses on complete oral wellness.

Comprehensive Dental Services Offered

From enhancing your smile with Kirkland dental veneers to restoring broken teeth with porcelain crowns, we offer a wide menu of therapies to fit your lifestyle, preferences and budget. Our care coordinators will help you maximize your insurance benefits for necessary treatment, or walk you through affordable financing options when it comes to elective procedures.

You’ll find that we take the time to explain things, make sure you understand them and value your input. We might be the easiest office you’ve ever worked with.

Dental Implants

Missing teeth does not only lower your confidence, but it also leads to difficulty chewing, bite irregularities, and speech impediments. Dental implants at Juanita Bay Dentist provide a permanent solution that looks and feels like your natural teeth. These titanium roots integrate with your jawbone, creating a strong foundation that preserves bone structure and maintains your facial appearance.

Our implant process begins with a thorough assessment to ensure you’re an ideal candidate for this treatment. We then surgically place the implant and allow proper healing time for bone integration. Finally, we attach a custom crown that matches your existing teeth, completing your restoration with results that enhance your Kirkland dental care experience.

Invisalign

Traditional orthodontics can sometimes interrupt your lifestyle due to their fixed nature. That’s why we offer a more discrete orthodontic option; Invisalign aligners. These custom-made, removable aligners gradually shift your teeth into perfect alignment without the hassle of metal brackets or wires.

Our experienced team at Juanita Bay Dentist creates a personalized treatment plan using advanced 3D imaging technology to map out your entire tooth movement journey. We provide you with a series of aligners that you’ll wear for about a few weeks, with regular check-ins to monitor your progress and to provide your new set.

Dental Crowns and Bridges

You can say goodbye to damaged teeth with our custom-crafted dental crowns and bridges that blend seamlessly with your natural smile. These restorations not only protect weakened teeth and fill gaps but also help maintain proper bite alignment and prevent future Kirkland dental problems.

Our restoration process begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the best solution for your specific needs. We carefully prepare your teeth, take detailed impressions, and work with skilled lab technicians to create your custom restoration. At Juanita Bay Dentist, we take pride in delivering durable, comfortable crowns and bridges as an essential part of our Kirkland dental services.

Dentures

We create custom dentures that restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently after tooth loss. Our comprehensive approach includes complete, partial, and implant-supported options designed to meet your unique needs and budget. Whether you need to replace a few teeth or an entire arch, we ensure your dentures fit comfortably and look natural.

Our denture creation process starts with detailed impressions and measurements to guarantee a precise fit. We work closely with you through each fitting stage, making adjustments until your dentures feel perfect and function properly. As your trusted Kirkland dental care provider, our team at Juanita Bay Dentist is committed to helping you regain your quality of life with expertly crafted dentures.

Dental Xrays

Dental X-rays provide advanced images that help us detect cavities between teeth, assess bone health, and identify developing concerns that aren’t visible during regular examinations. Our digital system produces crystal-clear images instantly while exposing you to significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays.

We customize our X-ray schedule based on your individual risk factors and dental history, never taking more images than necessary. At Juanita Bay Dentist, we believe preventive imaging is essential for maintaining your long-term oral health and catching problems early when they’re easiest to treat.

Tooth Extraction

Tooth extractions are overwhelming and can be scary at times. Our gentle approach combines modern techniques with compassionate care to remove severely damaged, infected, or problematic teeth while minimizing discomfort. Whether you’re dealing with painful wisdom teeth or a tooth that’s beyond repair, we ensure a smooth experience from start to finish.

Our extraction procedure begins with a thorough evaluation using advanced imaging to plan the safest and most efficient approach. We offer various sedation options to keep you relaxed and comfortable during the procedure. Following your extraction at Juanita Bay Dentist, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and support to promote quick healing and prevent complications.

Periodontics

When left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and impact your overall health, making early intervention crucial. We specialize in preventing and treating gum disease to protect the foundation of your healthy smile.

Your treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation to assess your gum health and identify any signs of disease. We then create a personalized treatment plan that may include deep cleaning, laser therapy, or other advanced procedures to restore your gum health. At Juanita Bay Dentist, we use gentle techniques and modern technology to ensure your comfort while effectively treating periodontal issues.

FAQs

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit focuses on getting to know you and understanding your dental health goals. We’ll perform a comprehensive examination, take necessary X-rays, and discuss your history and any concerns you have. Our doctors will explain their findings clearly and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and priorities.

What preventive care services do you recommend?

Prevention is the foundation of good oral health and typically includes professional cleanings every six months, annual x-rays, and fluoride treatments when appropriate. We customize prevention plans based on your individual risk factors, which might include more frequent cleanings for patients with gum disease or additional protective treatments for those prone to cavities. Regular preventive care at our Kirkland dental office helps avoid costly and complex treatments down the road.

How early should children start visiting the dentist?

The American Dental Association recommends children visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits help establish a positive relationship with dentistry and allow us to monitor development, preventing future problems. Our practice creates fun, educational experiences that help children feel comfortable and excited about maintaining healthy smiles.

What if I haven't been to the dentist in several years?

We see many patients who’ve been away from dental care for extended periods, and we welcome you without judgment. Your first visit focuses on assessing your current oral health, addressing any immediate concerns, and creating a manageable treatment plan. We understand that life gets busy and anxiety is real, so we work at your pace to restore your oral health comfortably.

Do you offer cosmetic dentistry services?

Yes, we provide various cosmetic treatments including teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and smile makeovers to help you achieve the appearance you want. During your consultation, we discuss your aesthetic goals and recommend treatments that will create natural-looking, beautiful results. Our comprehensive approach means we ensure your teeth are healthy first, then enhance their appearance for a smile that’s both beautiful and functional.
