Great all around experience! Dentist is super communicative, knows her stuff, and is great at explaining things (had a crown done due to a chipped tooth). Especially awesome with anxiety! Hygienists, dental assistants, and admin staff are hands down my favorite crew too. Did a great job of explaining insurance and it’s clear these people work well together.

My family and I have been patients of Ballard Dentistry for about 4 years now. We are so happy to have found this practice! My kids, who are 8 and 6, are so excited for their visits because they are incredibly comfortable with the staff and have had such great experiences. We never feel pressured to receive services we are not prepared for, and that is so refreshing for a dental office. I would recommend Dr. Streiff and staff to anyone looking for an awesome dental experience! Thank you Ballard Dental!
The team at Ballard Dentistry is exceptional! I had the pleasure of working with Hilary as my hygienist and Dr. Streiff as my dentist. They truly go above and beyond to make sure you're receiving the best possible care and fully understand what they're doing and why they're recommending it. Everyone was kind, professional, and incredibly thorough. The cleaning went so smoothly and comfortably that I honestly could have taken a nap! It's clear they genuinely care about their patients and take pride in providing outstanding care. Thank you, Hilary, Dr. Streiff, and the entire Ballard Dentistry team! I highly recommend them. It makes sense they are the best rated dental office in Ballard.
Easily one of the best dentist experiences I’ve ever had. 10/10 atmosphere and everyone was so warm and welcoming. The procedure itself was quick, painless, modernized, and affordable. I’ll be scheduling all my future cleanings here!
I usually feel pretty nervous going to the dentist, but I had a really good experience here. Dr. He is very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and extremely gentle and Her assistant was also really friendly and they made me feel comfortable. They listened to all my concerns, explained everything patiently, and even showed me before and after pictures of my tooth, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly and I honestly feel good about going back
