Comprehensive Dentistry in Seattle, WA
We are focused on your total oral health!
What is Comprehensive Dentistry?
Combining our expertise with modern technology.
Comprehensive dentistry is “whole picture” dentistry. It looks at all areas of your oral health, including how your bite functions, the health of your teeth, and the cosmetic appearance of your smile.
These comprehensive treatments use a variety of general, restorative, and cosmetic dental procedures to produce a smile that is both healthy and beautiful.
Treatments may include dental implants to replace missing teeth, Invisalign® for a straighter smile, porcelain veneers to modify the shape or color of your teeth, occlusal splints to treat TMJ problems, or teeth whitening to brighten your smile.

Raymond L. Actual Patient.
Why Choose Smile Ballard?
Providing exceptional services from day one.
Our patient’s experience at our office:
Len struggled with his front teeth ever since a baseball accident as a kid left him with missing and broken teeth. Even though it had been repaired, he would guard his smile and try not to let other people see too much of his teeth.
When another front tooth needed to be removed, we explained the replacement options for that tooth. In addition, we informed him of comprehensive dentistry treatments that could improve the shape, alignment, and color of his smile.
Len began comprehensive treatment that lasted about a year, but we kept him comfortable and smiling throughout the entire process. With treatment now finished, he shows off his new smile with pride and has a clean bill of dental health!
