  • "Everyone from reception to the hygienist to the dentist was friendly and kind. I've never had a more thorough exam. They explained everything to keep me informed and provided me with education about what they were doing. I felt truly informed and now feel more in control of my dental health. They have a state of the art, modern clinic and provide great care. Highly recommend."

    — Jennifer M.

  • "From having extensive dental work done at other offices, I can definitely say this was the most positive dental experience I have had. My dentist took the time to explain each step as she did it and checked in with me about my habits and oral health, rather than just sending me on my way. Highly recommend!"

    — Tessa R.

  • "Had a complex filling failure (from another dentist) repaired by Dr. Kendall. She worked hard to save my tooth successfully. Really glad we have access to this level of cosmetic and restorative dentistry in West Seattle!"

    — Tim W.

  • "I just had my first dentist experience after moving to the US and it was amazing. Everyone was kind, professional and very understanding. They explained things thoroughly and made me look forward to my next appointment."

    — Andreea C.

  • "I had a great experience at Kendall Dental! The front desk staff was warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived. Dr. Kendall and Martina, the hygienist, were both excellent—professional, gentle, and attentive. They made the whole visit smooth and comfortable. The office was clean and modern, and I felt well cared for from start to finish. Highly recommend for quality dental care!"

    — Adam R

  • "Amazingly kind staff, from front desk to dentists. I had the most gentle, non-painful cleaning and numbing shots of my life! They are all helpful and nonjudgmental. They also offer pillows and weighted blankets for comfort."

    — Dylan C.

  • "I came to this dentist after not going to the dentist for a long time. They welcomed me and didn't make me feel bad for the time I took between visits. Every time I have gone since, I have felt taken care of and now I have more peace of mind when it comes to my teeth and gum health."

    —Elise P.

  • "Got me in less than 24 hours for an emergency extraction. Start to finish was impeccable, and this is coming from someone with massive fear of dental procedures. Handled professionally and comfortably with minimal pain—I went from intolerable pain to feeling 100% better in 24 hours."

    — Zachary J.

  • "As a healthcare practitioner, I can have high expectations when searching for my own providers. I was so impressed with everyone at Kendall Dental, from the front desk to the hygienist to the doctor. They were kind, helpful, supportive, and educational. I feel confident that I have found the perfect home for my dental care."

    — Diana T.

  • "It's always such a great experience at Kendall Dental. Denise is the absolute best hygienist and makes sure that you're comfortable and she has notes from any sensitive teeth from cleanings past. It's a professional operation and I look forward to future visits."

    — Melissa R.
