Down to Earth Dental

Somehow a review on the internet doesn’t seem like enough gratitude for this team. My husband and I have patients for over a year and they are just outstanding. They work like a team from Laurie and Lisa working appointments and insurance verification. The dental hygienists are all good. Mostly, yesterday, my husband needed emergency help with a wisdom tooth and they were prompt, affordable and mostly, kind. Dr. Yen Nquyen-​Tran is a professional and kind dentist; I wish I could remember the name of her associate that helped with the extraction. Dr. Yen Nquyen-​Tran truly went through hoops to help us and my husband is recovering today, pain-​free. Thanks to the team at Down to Earth on Pacific Avenue S.

My husband went here for a teeth cleaning. He was told that they took our insurance and everything would be covered because it was all preventative. After everything was done and he was ready to leave, they let him know that they were not in network providers for our insurance AFTER everything was done and said that he needed to pay almost $ 100 out of pocket for a simple teeth cleaning!!! We were not prepared to pay anything and had to put it on a credit card. They really need to get it together. It is very illegal to not give an estimate of fees prior to a service if we are required to pay anything out of pocket. We will be contacting the attorney generals office about this.

Can you ever have a pleasant visit at the dentist? No! Did I say no? Yep! NO! But it can be less miserable, and they do a good job of it! Had 3 teeth pulled, got me in right away and took care of it. Very thankful! I’m sore as hell, they offered meds but i declined. Don’t do that! Thank you for getting me in so fast! They got 4 stars at first, then I received a call from the doc to check up on me which was appreciated and rare, at least from other docs!

Everyone was friendly and nice! Everyone. My filling came out this morning and I had to have it fixed. They take CareCredit, which is awesome. I saw Dr. Brannan, and he was was very nice and did great work. I recommend this place if you like friendly people and quality work.

The staff were helpful and the Dr. was direct and professional.

By far the best Dentist Clinic I’ve been to! I used to be a patient at an unnamed corporate Dentist office where nobody knew my name, where I had different Dentists on each visit, and been plagued with extremely long waiting times, and almost impossible appointment dates… NEVER AGAIN!
Down To Earth Dental is truly a pleasant, welcoming experience with great specialists. I’ve worked with Dr. Nguyen-​Tran on multiple occasions from cleaning, fillings, and she even fixed my front tooth that’s been chipped my whole life! Dr. N-​T is very gentle especially with the «numbing shot» given on the inside of my cheek. She gently shakes the injection area and slowly delivers the anesthetic without pain or even a pinch. This one act shows how much attention to detail and how she prioritizes my comfort as a patient. This is how the dentist office should always be!
Dr. Nguyen-​Tran is extremely caring and the whole staff makes you feel like family. I especially enjoyed her assistant, Cora. Cora always greets me by name and we continue our conversations exactly where we left off last time. She makes my visit pleasant and I feel like a friend instead of a patient or customer. Even the front office is very accommodating of my schedule and offer Appointment Confirmations via my smartphone to help remind me of my appointments.
Overall, I am very happy with my experience at Down To Earth Dental. I enjoy being comfortable at a place where I am usually anxious. I recommend Down To Earth Dental to all of my friends and family and to you, my internet friend as well. You will not be disappointed. So if you’re ready to have an experienced Doctor, highly attentive Dental Staff and overall great experience, give Down To Earth Dental a try today. You will be very happy you switched over!

Didn’t see a dentist in a long time (over 3 years) and visited Dr. Nguyen-​Tran about a year ago. Since then she and the team at Down to Earth dental has taken such great care of me. I’ve done everything from cleanings, deep cleanings, fillings, whitening, and received a mouth guard. Every experience has been phenomenal! Very clean, professional, friendly, and hassle free. Highly recommend!

As a newcomer to Tacoma and in a new dental plan I was a little bit worry about getting a née dental service. Should have not worried.
From my first visit I have been made to feel very welcome and special. I would recommend Dr. Nguyen-​Tran to anyone. She is a dedicated, caring professional with a wonderful touch. Lori in the reception desk has been exceptionally helpful navigating insurance paperwork, the rest of the team has always been very good, friendly and caring. I recommend them to anyone looking for great dental care and outstanding service.

The staff at Down to Earth Dental is a very friendly and welcoming team. I was impressed at the homey, relaxing enviornment they provide. After a few minutes in the office I felt right at home and comfortable with all the team members that help prep me and worked along side with Dr. Arnell Prato. I highly recommend Dr. Arnells clinic, it’s great to see a new and refreshing take to dentistry, Thanks guys.
