Kirkland Dentist Provides Compassionate Care
If you are searching for a Redmond dentist who takes the time to actually understand your situation, explain what they find, and build a plan that works for your life, you are in the right place. Your dental health deserves more than a quick check-in and a reminder to floss. Juanita Bay Dentist welcomes patients from across King County, WA, including Redmond, Kirkland, Bothell, and Seattle, and more who are looking for a higher standard of family dentistry. Whether your needs are simple or complex, our team approaches every case with the same level of attention and honesty.
Meet the Doctors
Dr. Downing Moua has spent his career building a practice around the kind of dentistry that actually improves lives. A graduate of Boston University’s dental program with honors, he went on to complete his residency in Fresno before settling in Kirkland to open his own practice. His training as a Kois Center Graduate gives him a foundation in science-based care that shapes how he approaches everything from cosmetic treatments to full-mouth rehabilitation. Dr. Michele Taylor brings that same level of dedication to every patient she sees, with a focus on building relationships that last well beyond a single appointment. Together they lead a team chosen as much for their character as their clinical ability, creating an environment where patients feel genuinely looked after.
Meet Downing Moua, DMD
Raised in California, Dr. Moua first formed an interest in dentistry at the age of 7, from his brother-in-law, who is a dental technician. After three years of undergraduate education at the University of the Pacific, he continued on to study dentistry at Boston University, graduating with honors in 2003. A year later he completed his general practice residency in Fresno and then came to Kirkland to open his private practice.

Kirkland Dentist Provides Comfortable Care for Anxious Patients
Whether you have had a bad experience in the past or just feel anxious about a certain procedure, we have measures that we can take to help you feel more relaxed. Our comfortable in-house sedation dentistry options safely put your mind at ease so that you can get through your next procedure, regardless of how complex your needs may be.
Our Mission
We are here to help you take control of your oral health, not just react to problems when they show up. Every treatment plan we build is grounded in the Kois dentistry methodology, which means we focus on the underlying cause of dental issues rather than treating symptoms in isolation. That approach leads to better outcomes, fewer surprises, and a clearer picture of where your smile is headed. We believe that informed patients make better decisions, so we invest real time in explaining what we find and why it matters. From your first routine cleaning to more involved dental treatments, our goal is to make every dental visit feel worthwhile.
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. When you need care, we’ll explain the cause and effect of specific conditions, so that you can be well-informed of where your smile is headed in the future.

Comprehensive Dental Services Offered
From enhancing your smile with 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.
Teeth that are worn, uneven, discolored, or slightly misshapen can hold your smile back even when everything else is healthy. Veneers solve that problem by placing a thin layer of custom-crafted porcelain over the front of each tooth, transforming the color, shape, and overall look of your smile in just a couple of appointments. The results are natural, long-lasting, and one of the most dramatic improvements cosmetic dentistry has to offer without any major procedure involved.
Our team at Juanita Bay Dentist takes a careful, unhurried approach to every veneer case. We start with a detailed look at your smile and a conversation about the outcome you are hoping for, then work with a high-quality dental lab to fabricate each veneer to your exact specifications. Once everything is ready, we bond your veneers into place and fine-tune the fit until the result looks and feels completely natural.
Invisalign
A straighter smile does more than look good. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, put less strain on your jaw, and tend to wear more evenly over time. Invisalign gives you a way to address all of that using a set of clear, removable aligners custom-made to fit your teeth, with no brackets, no wires, and no noticeable hardware getting in the way of your daily life.
The process at Juanita Bay Dentist starts with a digital scan of your teeth that maps out the full movement plan before your first aligner is even made. You wear each set for roughly two weeks, swapping to the next as your teeth gradually shift into position, and check in with us periodically to make sure everything is progressing as expected. Most Invisalign patients reach their final result within 12 to 18 months, though simpler cases often wrap up sooner.
Dental Implants
Losing a tooth sets off a chain reaction that most people do not expect. The jawbone beneath the gap starts to shrink without a root to stimulate it, neighboring teeth begin to drift, and your bite can shift in ways that create new problems over time. Dental implants stop that process entirely by replacing the tooth at the root level, giving you a stable, permanent result that looks and functions just like what was there before.
Juanita Bay Dentist takes a thorough, step-by-step approach to every implant case, beginning with a detailed exam and imaging to assess your bone density and confirm the right placement position. We surgically place a small titanium post into your jawbone, allow it to fuse securely with the surrounding bone over the following months, and then attach a custom crown on top once healing is complete. The end result is a tooth replacement that is built to last, easy to care for, and nearly indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Crowns and Bridges
A tooth that has been cracked, broken down by decay, or lost entirely does not just affect how your smile looks. It changes how you bite, how you chew, and how the surrounding teeth behave over time. Crowns and bridges are dependable restorations that address both the functional and cosmetic side of that damage, giving you back a smile that works the way it should and holds up under everyday use.
We handle every step of the crowns and bridges process in house at Juanita Bay Dentist, from the initial assessment through to final placement. After preparing the affected teeth and capturing precise impressions, we send your case to a dental lab where your restoration is crafted to match the natural color, shape, and contour of your surrounding teeth. When it comes back, we check the fit, confirm your bite feels right, and make any final adjustments before you leave.
General Dentistry
Most serious dental problems do not appear overnight. They build up gradually, often without any pain or obvious signs, until they reach a point where treatment becomes more involved and more expensive. General dentistry exists to interrupt that process, keeping your teeth, gums, and bite in good shape through consistent care that catches issues early and gives you a clear picture of your oral health at every stage.
At Juanita Bay Dentist, a general dentistry visit is never just a box to check. We take a thorough look at everything during each appointment, using digital X-rays and advanced imaging to spot what a visual exam alone might miss, and we walk you through our findings before recommending anything. Whether you are coming in for a routine cleaning, a filling, or something that has been bothering you for a while, you will leave with a full understanding of where things stand and a plan that makes sense for your situation.
Cosmetic Dentistry
There is a difference between a smile that is healthy and a smile you actually feel good about showing off. Cosmetic dentistry is about closing that gap by addressing the things that bother you about the way your teeth look, whether that is the color, the shape, the size, or the overall balance of your smile. The goal is always results that feel like a natural version of you, not an obvious cosmetic overhaul.
Every cosmetic dentistry patient at Juanita Bay Dentist gets a consultation that goes deeper than a quick look in the mouth. We consider your facial features, your gum line, your bite, and what you are actually hoping to change before putting together a treatment plan, because the best cosmetic results come from looking at the whole picture rather than fixing one thing at a time. From a single improvement to a complete smile transformation, we build a path that fits your timeline and delivers something you will want to show off.
Why Choose Our Dentist in Redmond, WA
Redmond has no shortage of dental offices, but the experience you get here is built around something most practices overlook: actually listening to you. Here is what consistently brings patients back.
Honest Answers, Every Time
We do not hand out vague answers or rush through explanations. When we identify something during your exam, we walk you through what it is, what caused it, and what your options are going forward. You will never leave an appointment feeling confused about your own oral health. That kind of straightforward communication is something our patients tell us they rarely find elsewhere, and it is something we take seriously at every visit.
Advanced Technology for Better Results
Our practice uses the latest technology including digital X-rays, digital impressions, and imaging tools that give us a far more detailed look at your dental structure than traditional methods allow. Early detection through better technology means smaller problems get caught before they require bigger solutions. We also use this technology to show you exactly what we are seeing in real time, so you are never in the dark about your own mouth. Better tools lead to more accurate diagnoses and more predictable outcomes.
A Full Range of Services in One Place
From preventive dental services and biannual exams to cosmetic dental services, dental implants, endodontic care, and sedation dentistry, we handle a broad scope of dental care without sending you elsewhere. Whether you need teeth whitening before a big event, porcelain veneers to reshape your smile, dental crowns to protect a damaged tooth, or teeth extractions you have been putting off, our team handles it all in one familiar place. Patients working through longer treatment journeys, including those who need temporary crowns while their permanent restorations are being made, appreciate having a consistent team by their side from start to finish.
No Judgment for Dental Anxiety
Dental anxiety is more common than most people admit, and it is one of the main reasons patients put off care until problems become serious. Our team is trained to work with nervous patients in a way that never feels rushed or dismissive. We offer sedation dentistry options for patients who need extra support getting through a complex procedure or even a routine cleaning. Your comfort level is part of the clinical equation, not an afterthought.
Prevention Is Always the Priority
The most cost-effective dental care is the kind that keeps problems from developing in the first place. Our approach to preventive dental care includes thorough biannual exams, deep cleanings when needed, oral cancer screenings, and honest conversations about your home habits. We look at the full picture of your oral healthcare at every visit, not just the tooth in front of us. Catching a cavity early, spotting early signs of gum disease, or identifying a concern during a cancer screening can make an enormous difference in what treatment looks like down the road.
