Light Dental Studios

I have never felt so welcomed and relaxed at a dentist office. Everyone here is so friendly and accommodating. They really make you feel apart of them. They are beyond willing to make sure you are comfortable and always take the time to understand your needs and expectations. Even my 2 year old son who accommodated me to every visit loves going in there. He asks for Laci whom is wonderful aka a dental assistant there by name as soon as we walk in. And she always takes the time to stop in to say hi and chat with him! Dr Broughton is wonderful and Dr. Dunn is absolutely amazing. They truly are remarkable. And Jenette their in house denture lab lady is remarkable as well she has gone out of her way to make sure im happy and pleased. I could go on and on about how great this place is. I will continue to go here and now my whole family will too. My 2 yr old has also found a dental home to keep his little smile bright :)

Can’t say enough good things about Light Dental. The staff are amazing, hours are flexible, they answer every question you have and work around hectic schedules to take care of you and then stand behind their work. Would never go anywhere else for dental needs.

Okay Unilocalers,
You came through for me again. After feeling so anxious to go to a different dentist, I was quickly eased by Amy who answered the phone. She was patient, kind and informative. I was able to get an appointment same day.
I was greeted by the receptionist and filled out a small amount of paperwork. I was quickly taken back and given a tour of the office, yep a tour. I felt like a VIP. The exam and x-​rays started with the assistant Lacy and the fun began. We were laughing and joking in no time. Dr. Tru (spell?) came in and informed me of every step of action that would be taken. (I suspected I was going to need a root canal) After the exam, I was right, I needed a root canal. This was not my first, but she still informed me of all that would be needed to get me well. I was quickly presented with an estimate of charges, and lets just say, that was the best news I had heard all day. To give you a reference, I had a root canal done last year by a specialist and his bill was ALOT more expensive that Light Dental Studios. My estimate included the root canal, deep cleaning and a crown!!! I felt like I had just ordered the value meal at taco bell.
In summary, if you are having doubts and or a chicken like me, do not hesitate to call Light Dental Studios. They were nothing short of amazing.

We just moved to the area and needed to find a dentist. Thanks to all the other reviewers! You were correct that Light Dental Studios deserves a 5 star rating.
My husband and I arrived for our exams and cleanings and barely waited 3 minutes before my husband was taken back for his appointment. I was brought back right on time also.
I had been having trouble with a particular tooth that my old dental office couldn’t seem to fix. Within 5 minutes, Dr Broughton saw that the tooth was cracked and needed a crown. I was elated that the office could do it the same day.
The whole staff; hygienists, doctors (saw 3 of them), and front end people, all told me what they were going to do before they did it and what other options were available. Through the whole process, every one of them continually asked if I was okay and asked if there was anything they could do for me. The procedure didn’t hurt a bit, thanks to the doctors listening to their patient. A rare find today.
I cannot say enough about the professionalism and efficiency of this office.
Light Dental Studios of Puyallup, YOU ROCK!

I was very impressed with Dr. Trieu. When I first arrived to the clinic, the receptionist was on the phone, and Dr. Trieu happened to be at the front desk. She warmly welcomed me, and handed me the necessary paperwork I needed to fill out. I thought it was really cool that she helped her receptionist out like that, instead of just waiting until the receptionist could get to me. Once I was back in her chair, she was very easy to talk to and really took the time to ask questions, listen, and educate. When I told her I didn’t floss daily, she didn’t make me feel guilty or «lecture» like a lot of dentists seem to do, (haha.)
The staff is very friendly, and the office seems very high tech. I will be returning again for my next cleaning. It was the first time I Ieft a dental office actually smiling.

I just moved here 2wks ago from California. A piece of my tooth came out Sunday I called late Monday afternoon spoke with Amy (she was fabulous) she got me an appointment first thing Tuesday! I went today and met Elysia (she was fabulous too) they were able to get the inital issue taken care of as well as two other teeth that needed help and a cleaning!
I have never been a fan of dentist they scare me! But from the second I walked in every staff member made me feel welcome and they all made sure my experience was second to none!!! Is it weird im looking forward to going back lol!
Thank you All!

Every one was super nice here. I called with no insurance, and Amy was able to get me in immediately. I was told my visit was going to be $ 49 for first time emergency visit, but after everything it ended up costing me $ 80something. Which was rather disappointing.
They needed an X-​ray of my wisdom tooth, and I asked how much it was going to be and I was under the understanding that it was included in my visit because nobody told me it was going to cost anything. I only cared because I stressed and expressed that I can’t afford much since I don’t have insurance, so I assumed they would divulge financial costs before proceeding. That’s what I get for assuming.
They wanted to pull my tooth, but I’m not ready for that, and I feel like I had to tell the doctor several times that I was not interested at this time. She said she was concerned about my well being is why she wanted to pull it so badly. I wanted to try antibiotics to see if it will heal with that, and come back if it gets reinfected to have it pulled. I was quoted at $ 249 for the cost of the extraction by itself (which at this point I’m sure does NOT include numbing agents and the visit itself).
Although I obviously had some issues, it doesn’t effect my overall opinion on the facility. The staff was all very professional and comforting, put you at ease, and make you feel welcome. The facility itself was beautiful and clean and fairly easy to find. I think I may have had such nit picky thoughts about things because I was very grumpy-​as my tooth was causing me a lot of pain and my day from the get go was crap. :).
If I had insurance or a limitless bank account, I would totally go to this facility all the time for all my dentist related needs. If you hate the dentist and have anxiety over it, I would recommend going here. Very nice people, very nice place.

As some one that had some dental anxiety before the first visit, it was extremely important that the first visit goes well.
I was helped over the phone by Amy who handles the scheduling. Then Katie who is the dentist’s assistant took me to open area, where took some X-​rays.
Dr Broughton then came in for the dental exam and then we talked about my plan of action in regards to several problem areas.
Through it all everyone was extremely friendly and caring. But you can tell the level of professionalism in the entire office. I have been back several times, honestly I think I have found my dentist for the foreseeable future.

I went here initially because of the coupons that were in the Val-​Pak. The reviews are good on here as well, so I thought that I would give them a shot.
Everyone in this office is amazing. They are all very nice, they keep you informed while doing the procedures, and they check up after you’ve gone home. This place isn’t only for adults, which I thought it was at first. My 8 year old son came and got his cleaning while I was getting mine done. Everything went well and we are looking forward to going back for our follow up appointments and future cleanings.
The Val-​Pak coupons are awesome! I used the free life time whitening kit upon completion of care. I’ve used the whitening once and I can already see a great difference. All around, this place is great and I’m not usually a fan of dentists.

I went to this office for the first time today and I was very impressed. The staff is very friendly and I like that they are always informing you what they are doing.
Dr. Broughton is determined to help his patients obtain great dental care.

If youre looking for a dentist who’s affordable but does excellent work, go here!!!
I dont have dental insurance but it wasn’t an issue. They have cash only options where everything is very inexpensive. They dont treat you differently or give you «less than» quality or effort because you dont have insurance.
I work in healthcare and have seen how sometimes people without insurance or on DHSH, Medicaid, or Medicare get «handled» or treated different. I didn’t get that experience. Everyone was awesome!
I had a filling from an old dental work Just fall out one day and they fixed it here… x-​rays and everything for under $ 200! That’s incredible considering most places wont take you without insurance… and some places charge $ 500 – 700 a filling. (I paid $ 700 for the one that fell out!)
I waited a couple months before drafting this review to make sure I had no issues with the work, but I haven’t. Its been great! The doctor and staff was great… and the doctor said he would guarantee his work for two years on that filling!
I reccomend everyone go here! Finally a dental office that seem to care about their patients and the quality of their work MORE than the bottom line… if anyone ever asks for a dentist suggestion (its already happened with two of my friends) I will point them here!

Truly friendly folks.
I went 10+ years without a cleaning [horrible, I know], and I was absolutely dreading finally going in to get a cleaning done. I expected lectures, guilt and harassment about having gone so long without seeing a dentist.
Quite to the contrary, the staff were very encouraging and I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. The hygienists focused on getting my teeth up to snuff without blaming me for how long it had been. Everyone went out of their way to discuss everything they were doing, without being overly thorough or technical. I thought I was pretty informed about dental health, but I walked away having learned a good deal about how dental disease operates.
Having a family history of oral cancer, it was very reassuring when they examined not just my mouth, but my jaw, neck and lymph nodes, and explained that they screen for oral cancer on every visit.
They were very quick to search coupons and special discounts for me, since I don’t have dental insurance, to save me money, and I really appreciate that extra effort on the part of the Office Staff.
All-​in-​all, I went from dreading the dentist to loving it, thanks to a wonderful group of kind, caring folks.

A fellow dentist just wanting to write a thumbs up review of my former classmate: angie dunn. Angie was the top of our class at UW… truly, #1 in the entire class. This, by the way, is from probably the top dental school in the country. She was and is the most gifted dentist I know. If you are in her hands you are in very good hands indeed! PS she’s also very honest… so you can know you are getting treated fairly. Highly recommend.

I was looking for a new dentists in the area, and bases on a review from Unilocal decided to give them a shot. From the time I walked in until I left everyone was very friendly and professional; the capper was at 6:30 the dentists made a follow up call to make sure I was happy with the experience. Customer service like this «should» be the standard; I have already reffered 3 people, and will continue.

Dr. Broughton is the best dentist that I have ever been to. His work is immaculate and if something isn’t just so– he’ll re-​do it, regardless of how long it took to do it in the first place. I have also seen Dr. Dunn and she is awesome! If you need a tooth pulled, go to her, she’ll get it done in no time :) I have been going to them for years and the staff is great from the front office (Theresa & Amy) to the assistants (Katie) and the hygenists. They always call within 24 hrs of your appointment to make sure you’re feeling okay if you’ve had a tooth pulled, etc.
They’re like a family and you can tell they really care about you and what they do in how they treat you. Especially when you’re cranky with a toothache…
