West Edge Dental

They are very kind here and do a great job in checking your teeth and making recommendations. They spent time understanding my dental history why I changed offices after my dentist of 20 years retired and the new dentist that bought his practice didn’t work for me. So I came to West Edge, They were good, but when I finished my first appointment, they gave me a 10K plan (yes not exaggerating, seriously $ 10,000 that I could slowly work on and take time paying off but wow) for fixing my not bad teeth. I felt taken aback. It’s not like I came in with pain or big problems so this seemed like overkill to me. I decided that this kind of dentistry wasn’t a good fit for me.

This is the best dental office I’ve ever been to. I used to go here years ago, and after moving back to Seattle have returned to their office as a patient. I feel so much more confident in their doctors and staff than any other dental office. They are so communicative and empathetic every step of the way. I would highly highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist, and have recommended them to many people I know.

I really love this dental office. Every time I go in, the hygienists are incredibly nice to me and very cheerful, my dentist is kind and explains everything thoroughly, and I just always leave feeling appreciated as a patient. Keep up the good work guys!

Kristen and Dr. Emard are the best. They both genuinely care about provided expert level care and are also wonderfully personable and friendly. I always feel like i’m in very capable hands. Kristen really listens to my concerns and never makes me feel bad for not flossing. I can’t say enough good things about them. Oh BTW the night guard is a can’t miss! Get one!

Dr. Emard and Sherry made it a positive experience for me. They were thorough, positive and patient.

Kathi, Kristen, and Dr. E. were terrific. I am not a dentist person — I am usually too scared and even when I make appointments I often break them. My coworker referred me to this office when she heard about my phobia and she said enough nice things that I actually made it to the office. These ladies were kind, empathetic, and so sweet and encouraging that I don’t think I’ll have any trouble gathering the courage to go again. I was so impressed by their professionalism and kind demeanor, and highly recommend to anyone else who shares a phobia of the dentist office.

Friendly and personable staff, accommodating to make patients more comfortable. I enjoy their tips and advice on healthier teeth, not just checking to see what damage I’ve done but worked with me to discuss prevention.

First time visiting the dentist in years. I was pretty nervous about going and my past experience with another dentist had prevented me from going. Got a referral from my co-​worker who commented how great an experience she had and then I decided to read up on Unilocal to see what other’s had to say about this place.
Anyways glad I listened to my co-​worker and the Unilocal reviews. I had a great experience and will be going back for my next appointment. Would highly recommend going here!

This morning I had my first appointment with Kristen at west edge dental. As someone who gets nervous for dental exams I was immediately put at ease when greeted by Kathi and Veronica at the front desk.
My exam with Kristen was incredible (I know that is far fetched for a dental visit… But seriously). She was so friendly and aware of my needs and comfort throughout the cleaning. They actually explained what they were doing and why. I honestly am still slightly in disbelief that I had such an amazing experience.
Couldn’t recommend West Edge Dental higher.

When I moved back to Seattle I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find a new dentist I liked as much as the one I left behind in my old town.
Dr Emard and her staff are great, and I’ll keep going back. Enough said.

I do not think I have had a better dental appt. I was immediately put at ease, the entire appt. was pain free, bright, and the staff was great. I highly recommend this office.

My first visit here. Switched as this place is highly rated and waking distance from my building.
Impressed with service.
All the professional explained clearly why it is what they were doing and how to improve dental health etc.

I was perplexed by a recurring condition, but feel like Dr Enard was very aware of my condition, and was pretty reassuring about her evaluation. A former dentist didn’t have a clue what the possibilities were, so this was a relief to find out what it was, and possibly how to treat it.
Dr Leiker and Sherry, my hygenist, are equally knowledgeable and capable professionals. Good treatment all the way around!

Dr Emard is friendly, knowledgable and I feel completely at ease having her work on my teeth. I switched to west edge dental after the dentist I had been seeing for 15 years retired. I was extremely anxious to test out someone new especially since it was for a crown replacement. Everything went great and I’ve even referred my husband to see Dr Emard.
One downside: the prices seem higher than what I had been paying.

I have been a patient at West Edge dental since September of 2013. I started seeing Dr. Emard and her team for Invisalign treatment, which is incredible, and couldn’t be happier.
I have a history of dental phobia and Invisalign treatment was a big mental hurdle to clear. Dr. Emard and her team couldn’t have made me more comfortable throughout the experience. The practice space is clean, modern, bright, and instantly put me at ease. The entire staff is wonderful and warm from the front desk to the assistants. They truly do make your comfort and health their top priority. I would trust them for anything.

I began seeing Dr. Leiker and Co. about 10 – 12 years ago after being recommend to her by a friend who was a dental hygienist. I have always received top-​notch care both preventatively and when I’ve had issues. The staff strikes a good balance –being warm, professional, knowledgable, pragmatic and no-​nonsense. Through years of treatment and advice, they have earned my trust and loyal business.
Dr. Leiker recently brought on Dr. Emard to share the practice with. I’ve only had one visit with Dr. Emard, but I have the utmost trust in Dr. Leiker’s judgement in putting together an amazing staff.

I’m the guy that absolutely despises going to the dentist! Anxiety, terror and dread fill my mind, even thinking about going to the dentist! The whole office is just full of happy and helpful people, making my stressful visits to the dentist a whole lot easier!
I’ll start with saying that Kathi, at the front desk, is very welcoming and always has a smile. I’ve only ever seen Kristen, for cleanings and she is fantastic! Super friendly and genuinely interested in you before getting down to work. I just discovered that they will use a numbing agent on my gums that makes cleanings a million times better for me! (highly recommend it!) Thank you!
Jessica B is always there to help start out the cleanings and she is great too!
The docs are great, they are friendly and nice. (getting repetitive, I know!) They do offer gas for procedures to help alleviate some stress too. They offer headphones for you to listen to your own music while they work too!
Overall, if you work downtown and need a great place to get your teeth done, during your lunch hour or afterwork, these ladies are awesome! Go see them!

Highly recommend! Kristen has been cleaning my teeth for 8 years. She is wonderful — thorough, quick, painless, happy. Love to hear giggling while getting my teeth cleaned! :) She’s a gem.
State-​of-​the-​art equipment, whatever you need for comfort or anxiety — they have it all. Dr. Leiker does wonderful dental work as well.

These people love teeth — and people!
I’ve seen a few different dentists, and these folks are by far my favorite. They are honest and compassionate. I always feel I can trust them, and know that they work hard for the benefit of my teeth.
The space is super comfortable, clean, and high-​tech. It’s also very convenient to work.
I don’t like getting my teeth worked on, but I like coming here.

This facility is very modern, clean, and high-​tech. The staff is very nice and explains things well. They took fancy digital images of my teeth and explained to me where some watch spots are.
The location is a block off the Seattle downtown waterfront. That made for a nice bike ride down the Elliot Bay trail from Ballard and an opportunity to go downtown, which I rarely do.
Also the dentist has very small hands, which is nice.
