Smile Everett Dental Care

I cannot even begin to explain how amazing this office and it’s staff are! I had recently experienced an unfortunate mishap with another dentist office and found myself at Smile Everett Dental Care needing help. Kim, Cass, and Dr. Osterberg have been kind, comforting, and understanding of my situation. Although I know I have a lot ahead of me on my road to complete dental health, I am grateful I have found such a wonderful place to put my complete trust in. I very much so look forward to going to the dentist now and I never in a million years thought I would ever say that! Give this place your business! Trust them with your oral and overall health! I did and I am so very glad I did.

Are your teeth worthy of a feature photo in «The Dental Book of Don’ts?» Maybe, like me, you never dreamed you would have dental problems and had always been blessed with years of non-​eventful check-​ups. But then, along the way, you developed some rather bad habits. You skipped your dental cleanings and exams, and every night you drank the Coca-​Cola on your nightstand (to wash down that middle-​of-​the-​night chocolate bar). At last, your sweet-​toothed abandon has taken a toll. You walk to the mirror in the morning and are mortified to notice HOLES in your teeth by the gum line. Unless you fancy a root canal, you better not wait on this. But where to go? Who to turn to?
What you have just read, above, is my reality. Or rather: it WAS. A few months ago I came to Unilocal hoping to find a dentist. I can honestly say that thanks to Unilocal and an honest, helpful reviewer, I found Dr. Osterberg at Everett Dental Care.
Trust me, if you need dental care in the 98 201 area, you won’t go wrong if you call Everett Dental Care for an appointment. Even if you live outside of that zip code, this dental office is more than worth the trip. No matter how bad your teeth are, you won’t be made to feel ashamed. Everyone who works at this dental office truly CARES about the people who come to them. I was treated with the utmost compassion, dignity, and care. I was initially scared when I went in for my first appointment, but Dr. Osterberg and his staff quickly and easily quelled my anxiety. Before I left the office, I felt as if I had made new friends.
I needed some extensive work done, and it was to take place over the course of a few months.
The hygienist always brings me a blanket so I will be more comfortable and feel more secure.
Dr. Osterberg is very careful to ensure that you feel absolutely no pain during any procedure he is performing. I never once needed anything for pain– just the numbing agent was enough. You will be hard-​pressed to find someone more skilled in the art of dentistry. And it REALLY IS an art. When I went in, I had a lot of cavities, a couple of which were almost to the point of requiring more than just a standard filling. Dr. Osterberg made my teeth look as if they never had cavities at all. If you have ever known a time when your teeth were so yucked up that you didn’t like smiling anymore, then you can appreciate how I felt after Dr. Osterberg restored my smile to me. It was an absolute blessing. At my first appointment, x-​rays were taken, and a «map» of my mouth was created. This map noted all visible dental work that was done in the past, and charted all of the problems that needed to be addressed. (There were plenty, I assure you!)
After this assessment is complete, Dr. Osterberg takes the time to explain to you in an easy to understand way what is going on with your teeth. All the options you have to correct the problems are discussed, and a «plan-​of-​action» that suits your needs is made, The rest is just a matter of follow through. I actually came to ENJOY my dental appointments!
Dr. Osterberg does beautiful work, and I’m happy to say, I can smile now without first shielding my mouth behind my hand.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Osterberg for close to two years now and I must say I’m very satisfied with him and the staff here. Kim, the Treatment Coordinator, is really accommodating and patience towards my schedule, given that I have this habit of flying out of the state on the week of my appointment and I constantly have to change my dental appointment schedule.
I mainly visit this facility to handle the bi-​annual cleaning, examination, and other prophylaxis duties. Given that there’s a lot to discuss in this review, I’ve decided to break things down into specific subjects
==Office/​Equipment==
The office a typical medical office — a reasonably sized waiting area for up probably up to 10 adults comfortably. There a various magazines throughout the waiting area, along with some activity books for children. There is a public restroom in the waiting area — which is a nice convenience. During my visits, which is typically during the afternoon, the waiting area is normally clean, open, and relaxing. There’s hardly any traffic when I’m here, which is lucky for me — I prefer less people to deal with.
Overlooking the waiting area is the receptionist and office administration — which views the various patient examination rooms.
For the medical equipment — the facility is equipped with modern equipment, such as intraoral digital radiography machines. All of the images are stored electronically, and can viewed very quickly on various computer stations throughout the building. Even scheduling appointments is handled through a shared calendar system that all computer stations have access to — it’s very convenient to coordinate resources with a proper calendar system in place.
==Staff Experience==
For the standard maintenance duties, I’m assisted by Gail — a pleasure to work with. During my visits — typically takes less than 30 minutes to professionally clean my oral cavity, and quick examination by Dr. Osterberg himself and then it’s a clean bill of health.
Dr. Osterberg himself is a knowledgeable, helpful, and rather cheerful person. Actually, everyone in that office is a cheerful enthusiastic mood. They are all really happy to have careers in the dental field, and are genuinely enjoy assisting people taking care of their teeth.
I do remember one time that I did had a small defect with one of my teeth that was discovered during one of the routine maintenance appointments. A couple of quick radiographs confirmed this preliminary analysis. Two weeks later — I showed up to take care of the issue — and it was taken care of in what seems about 30 minutes by Dr. Osterberg.
==Summary==
Overall, I am very satisfied with my visits here, the staff here is cheerful, the atmosphere is relaxing, yet productive, and for a person who maintains their dental heath, the duration of the examinations is kept reasonably short. For your dental health — I recommend giving Dr. Osterberg and his staff a try.
