Michael J. Scoles Issaquah

The first thing you notice as a patient at Dr. Scoles’ Issaquah office is the view from your dental chair. In most dental offices, the best you can hope for is an interesting poster of ocean creatures or hot air balloons over Napa. At this place, you’re treated to a view of the Issaquah creek. If you time your visit during the salmon spawn, you can actually see fish after gigantic fish, swimming and leaping their way up the river. What better way to distract oneself from a root canal?
The second thing you’ll notice is the whiz-​bang technology in the office. Dr. Scoles is one of the few dentists around that offers 3D x-​rays. That’s right, he has a machine that can essentially create a three-​dimensional picture of your jaw and skull. It allows him to get a more accurate picture of your bone structure so he can pinpoint the exact spot to place a dental implant. Amazing.
Another high-​tech feature here is the CEREC system, which is like a 3D printer for dental crowns. The system uses CAD/​CAM technology to scan your mouth, and then creates an image which is sent to the CEREC machine. Then, the machine uses that data to mill a permanent crown right there in the office — while you wait! Boom, in one visit you’re done!
If you work for Microsoft, or are just an Eastsider with an interest in nature and technology — as well as great dentistry — you should check out Dr. Scoles.

As someone who is terrified of going to the dentist, I was thrilled to find a dentist who makes me feel so comfortable. Dr. Butani is professional and gentle in her dental practice and she makes you feel instantly at ease. I’ve finally found a dentist who makes going to my dental appointments something I actually look forward to instead of dread.

I primarily visit Dr. Scoles at his Renton location out of habit, though I should consider the Issaquah one since they’re about the same distance from my house and the Issaquah building is a little nicer.
I went to the Issaquah location so Dr. Scoles could take some detailed panoramic x-​rays of my teeth and bone structure. Between his two offices, he has all of the state-​of-​the-​art equipment you could imagine. As you’ll see in the photos, he even has a 3D x-​ray machine that allowed him to pull up my x-​ray on his computer and then pan, rotate, and zoom right into my skull! Pretty mind-​blowing, I have to say.
Aside from the cutting-​edge gadgets, Dr. Scoles continues to go far above and beyond any of my expectations in terms of personalized care, and taking time out of his day to help with my unique dental needs. Plus, he’s a nice guy and fun to chat with.
The rest of the staff were similarly helpful and welcoming. They have a nice electronic appointment-​reminder system, which is also a plus. Not a whole lot more I could ever ask for from a dentist!

i was glad to have found Dr. Scoles. i was referred to him by a friend — someone i trusted, because im not the best dental patient in the world!!!
i had some pretty bad experiences when i was young that has kept me from looking for a new dentist, since my last move.
upon entering his office the kind staff put all my worries to rest. Dr. Scoles listened to my concerns, was very considerate, and i appreciate the time he took to address my problems.
wow, i am so glad i listened to my friend and so glad Dr. Scole’s office was exactly what i was looking for.
