Roger S Chin, DDS

Went to Dr Roger Chin for wisdom teeth removal and everything went very well. I even got a call from Dr to check if everything is ok.

Dr. Chin is the best! Had my wisdom teeth taken out with almost no pain and little swelling. His assistants are very friendly, yet professional in helping with the surgery. It’s an extremely professional environment and I would definitely recommend this practice for anyone seeking dental work.

Dr. Chin was great! Had my wisdom teeth out, and it was virtually painless! Made me feel super comfortable, and the whole process was very easy. Definitely the best around!

Dr. Chin took my wisdom teeth out on Friday (3 days ago). The procedure was completely painless and all the office staff were professional and supportive. I would definitely recommend that anyone have their wisdom teeth out here.

I noticed now as I go to post my review that Dr. Chin has a lot of positive reviews, and just geting a wisdom tooth removed from him, I know why!
His staff is so sweet and caring, he is very honest and informative, I couldn’t have asked for a better group. I have heard so many horror storied about tooth extractions so I was very nervous, but the only thing I remember was Dr. Chin saying they would take care of me, and they did because I didn’t feel anything for the surgery, and post surgery I had NO swelling, and barely any pain, I filled my pain medication prescription but I never needed it, this surgery really couldn’t have gone any better!
I would HIGHLY recomend Dr. Chin’s office to anyone considering getting their wisdom teeth removed!

I had to get two wisdom teeth removed a few weeks ago and was very nervous abut the procedure. Dr. Chin’s office was great. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The office itself was clean and had modern equipment that made getting x-​rays super fast. The staff called in the pain med prescription to my pharmacy prior to my surgery and provided me with lots of info about what to expect during and afterward. Dr. Chin was very reassuring and open — it almost felt like I was talking to a member of my own family. I elected to be put under for the surgery so the entire process was quick and painless for me.
I would definitely recommend this office!

I was putting off getting my wisdom teeth removed, because I was dreading it. I’m glad my dentist referred me to Dr. Chin. I didn’t feel the IV and the next thing I knew I was waking up and he said everything was all done. My recovery was very smooth, and when I had a question about my surgery over the weekend, Dr. Chin responded very quickly to my call. I hope I don’t need anymore oral surgery, but if I do, I know where I’m going and where I’m telling my friends to go!

My surgery went really well yesterday. Dr. Roger Chin and his staff were so caring throughout the process. Today is my second day and I don’t feel much pain at all. Dr. Chin called me at 10pm to check on me (great service) to see if I am dying or not hehe. I had my first tooth pulled out back home from a different surgeon (terrible experienced) and it hurt so bad and this why I hesitated to go to any oral surgeons. If I knew it wouldn’t hurt that bad, I would have gone to Dr. Chin long time ago. I would highly recommended to him to everyone. Great service and experienced!!!

This past summer my teenager had four wisdom teeth extracted by Dr. Chin. He was nervous but Dr. Chin and his staff did a great job of calming his nerves. The procedure went fine and he was back to normal after 3 – 5 days, if I remember (swelling gets worse, I think about 3 days into recovery, which is normal).
We also consulted Dr. Chin for a dental accident that my other son sustained. Too complex to go into, but Dr. Chin is knowledgeable and easy to work with. Furthermore, his staff goes the extra mile to work with the insurance companies. Out of the 5 – 6 other dentists we have had to see (2 prosthodontists, a periodontist, orthodontist, and two general dentists) his staff was by far the best at working with insurance. I did not have to call them multiple times and remind them of what needed to be done (usually the case, at the very least).

I have few reference points to base my opinion of Dr. Chin since I have never had my wisdom teeth removed before… but all I can say so far is wow! I had minimal jaw pain, minor swelling (I did ice) and pretty minor pain. The worst part was waiting for the blood to clot on the first day. And not being able to eat real food. I didn’t need to take any of the pain meds and was fully functional all day after the surgery (possibly also because I didn’t take additional pain meds).
The process for the surgery was really smooth. Came in, sat down, laughing gas, IV… next thing I knew I was in the resting room slightly delirious. Apparently I made a handful of texts to friends that I don’t remember… fortunately nothing too incriminating (I would advise not having your cell phone with you immediately after surgery). So all-​in-​all a good time (or at least as good a time you can have going to surgery). I would highly recommend Dr. Chin… although I can’t assume my experience will be the same as yours. I would go into it expecting the regular recovery time and experience.
A definite five star experience when compared to the stories of friends and family who used different surgeons…

I’m afraid of anything needle, for god sake I fainted everytime I got vaccine shots. I would never think of getting my wisdom teeth out unless I felt so miserable like I did a couple weeks ago.
I was super nervous when I came in for the surgery to remove my 4 wisdom teeth — 2 of which was impacted. They gave me the laughing gas, I was so tense that it did nothing! My heart beat so fast when they ask me to squeeze the ball to find my vein for the IV. Then the doctor squeeze something cold on my vein and that’s all I remember, I didn’t even remember the IV coming in. Next thing I know, they ask me how I’m doing, I couldn’t talk because there was stuff in my mouth and that’s when I realized that the surgery was done already.
I iced my cheeks the entire day after I get home, expecting that I will get chipmunk cheeks because both my bf and his sister warned me about that. But no chipmunk cheek whatsoever. I’ve heard that the more force they had to put in to remove my teeth, the more swollen it would be. So no chipmunk cheeks means Dr. Chin was very gentle. I also didn’t have any jaw stiffness like people warned me.
If I knew it was this easy, I would have taken my wisdom teeth out a long time ago. Thanks Dr. Chin!

As an practicing RN at Harborview Medical Center, I have had the opportunity to interact with countless medical personnel both in a professional and personal manner. When I was told that I would need to have my wisdom teeth removed, I was referred to Dr. Chin. I decided to have all 4 wisdom teeth removed at once under IV anesthesia. Dr. Chin’s staff was amazing. Not only were they knowledgable and personable, they were also compassionate and welcoming. I met Dr. Chin on two occasions. He was polite, informative, empathetic, and took the time to answer all of my questions in detail to ensure that I knew exactly what was going to happen — I can’t say that about all medical personnel nowadays. The surgery went as expected without any complications. Dr. Chin took the time to follow-​up with a personal phone call to check in and see how I was doing or if I had any questions. Dr. Chin truly cares about all of his patients and it is shown through his exemplary patient care and dental work. I had an excellent experience and will continue to refer clients to Dr. Chin.

I was referred by my dentist to Dr. Chin as I needed two of my wisdom teeth removed. It was a spectacular experience as far as the removal process went, he did a very good job. In fact everyone there was extremely friendly and they walked me through the whole process and left no questions. There was a billing mishap with the insurance, but Dr. Chin went above and beyond and made it right with me. I really appreciated that. Thank you!

I came here for a dental implant surgery and possible bone graft (but ended up not needing the bone graft).
Dr. Chin and his staff are friendly and professional. I had to work closely with his staff to get an accurate estimate for my out-​of-​pocket costs. This was tricky because (a) I have secondary insurance, and (2) I potentially needed a bone graft if my bone wasn’t wide enough for the implant, and we wouldn’t know until I actually went under. Even with this varying factors, they were friendly and worked through the insurance issues with my insurance companies.
I had never been under general anesthesia before, and staff and Dr. Chin made me very comfortable. The surgery was surprisingly quick and easy.
Dr. Chin even called me around 10 that night to make sure I was doing ok. I was impressed by the personal contact, knowing that he has a full practice and a young family!
I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs oral surgery.

Overall: Gentle and non-​noticeable surgery
I was referred to Roger Chin for the extraction of my impacted wisdom tooth. Their office is conveniently situated across from Factoria, Bellevue and is exceptionally easy to find with ample free parking.
The office is neat and clean, with a waiting area holding 6 – 8 chairs and the receptionist was polite and friendly. My initial consultation was at 13:15, however I wasn’t called in until 13:40. I had to have a panoramic x-​ray, but the assistant made a mistake and had to repeat it — obviously these people don’t care about excessive x-​ray exposure (MINUS 1 star).
I was shown a video about wisdom teeth and she tried to convince me to remove all of my wisdom teeth (MINUS 1 star). (Funniest thing is that I only had two wisdom teeth showing, with no signs of the other two). I eventually saw Roger Chin at 13:50 — he is a soft spoken, polite man who went over any concerns I had and briefly examined my mouth.
When I went in for my surgery, everything was AMAZINGLY pleasant. I was prepped up and then given laughing gas, followed by some intravenous anesthesia — I asked to be put to a light drowsy sleep. I was sure that I didn’t fall asleep, yet I don’t remember them hacking away in my mouth — so I must have. Before I knew it, I noticed them taking all the wires off me etc and was told to go to the recovery room.
Recovery room? I wasn’t even sure they had done anything until I felt the swab in my mouth — haha! Well, in that respect it was good! I didn’t like the fact I had to still go to the pharmacy to pick up my pain killers though.
I didn’t speak to Roger Chin immediately after surgery, but he did call me at home at 20:30 to check that everything was ok.
In summary, I would highly recommend this place if you’re at all nauseous about any type of oral surgery. Roger Chin does a great job of making you feel as comfortable as possible and my recovery rate was exceptionally quick. However, it’s unlikely that I would go back unless I was referred.
