I’ve been a patient at North Seattle Dental for close to 10 years now, and looking back, choosing this office was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my dental health. Before finding North Seattle Dental, I had gone to a couple of different dental offices around Seattle, including one affiliated with UW and another downtown. None of them felt quite right. My wife encouraged me to give North Seattle Dental a try, and after my first visit, I knew I wasn’t going anywhere else. What stands out most isn’t just the quality of the dental work—it’s the people. Over the years I’ve interacted with many members of the team, from Lynn, Emily, Gwen, Lisa, and others at the front desk to the hygienists and clinical staff. Everyone is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. They somehow manage to make a visit to the dentist feel comfortable, which is not something I ever thought I’d say. Dr. Pickel deserves special recognition. In a profession where trust matters so much, he has earned mine completely. He never rushes appointments, takes time to explain options, answers questions honestly, and always seems focused on what’s best for the patient rather than what’s most convenient. You can tell he genuinely cares about the people sitting in his chair. It’s no surprise that he’s highly regarded by both patients and peers. One thing I’ve always appreciated is the consistency. After nearly a decade, the experience has remained the same. Whether it’s a routine cleaning, a check-up, or discussing a treatment plan, the level of care never changes. During the uncertainty of COVID, I was especially impressed by the precautions they took to keep patients safe. It was clear they took those responsibilities seriously and went above and beyond to create a clean and comfortable environment. The biggest compliment I can give is that my trust in this office extends beyond just myself. Over the years, my family has become patients here as well. My daughter has had appointments here, other family members have come here, and I’ve recommended North Seattle Dental to friends without hesitation. When you trust a healthcare provider enough to send the people you care about most, that says everything. Seattle has no shortage of dentists, but finding one that combines expertise, honesty, professionalism, and genuine kindness is rare. After nearly 10 years as a patient, I can confidently say that North Seattle Dental has consistently delivered all of those qualities. If you’re looking for a dentist and wondering whether to give them a try, my advice is simple: make the appointment. I did almost a decade ago, and I’ve never once regretted it.

I highly recommend becoming a patient of Dr. Face if you’re trying to find a North Seattle dentist who is kind, personable, smart, and takes the time to educate his patients. He even sent a personalized note after my first visit to thank me for choosing North Seattle Dental, which showed care and consideration. Jody is an amazing dental hygienist who also takes the time to get to know patients and educate in a positive way. If you’re on the fence about switching dentists, this is a great spot to land! The patient coordinators are also so helpful, kind, efficient, and knowledgeable, too. You’ll be well-serviced here.

I have been a patient of Dr. Face for two years. I have experience in the dental field, consequently I have very high expectations. Dr. Face exceeded mine. He is exceptionally skilled at dentistry. I was given a full explanation throughout my procedures for a cleaning and crown replacement. I am most impressed by the invisalign treatment I elected to have done with Dr. Face. My teeth have shifted a bit, and through his care I now have a beautiful smile that is both straight and bright. I highly recommend Dr. Face and his staff to serve you and your family with your dental care. You teeth will last a lifetime!!

I love seeing Patty, Emily and Dr. Pickle! I am ALWAYS well taken care of. They are experienced, knowledgeable, not pushy and make cultivating provider/patient relationships top priority! The new team at the front desk is amazing, too. Thank you!

Dr. Pickel at North Seattle Dental has been my dentist for 15+ years. I have never considered going anywhere else. Everyone there clearly cares and totally succeeds in making every visit a totally positive experience.
