I was having major jaw issues and pain. Every TMJ doctor i called was like cash up front then i bill my insurance. I called many places till i reached this place. Completely amazing. All the staff. Dr S was amazing. Helped me. Fitted me with a special mouth piece i needed. They billed my insurance. I cant say enough about this place. They have all the current machines and there offices are very clean.

Aware that u are the client. They listened and they helped. Every single person in this office was amazing. Thank you so very much. This is now my Dentist Clinic without a doubt.

Everyone is so nice here. My wait time was short even though there were three ahead of me on the lobby. They were able to schedule an appointment for me at the last minute too.

I was in need of a cosmetic fix for a chip on my front tooth. I was able to get an appointment quickly, and in the morning before work too. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff was knowledgable and friendly. Dr. Streit did fantastic work on my tooth. It's not the first time it's been replaced, but it is definitely the best job I've had done. He was careful and concientious of my comfort. I think I found my new spot! Thank you!

The best dentistry experience we have ever had! The entire staff is amazing and kind. I feel blessed to have this dentistry office for my whole family. Even my six year old can't stop raving about her fun time there!

The staff goes above and beyond. The dentist can be intimidating, but they do all they can to ensure you're comfortable. They don't just perform services, they make sure you have an understanding of your oral health. They provide tips and tricks to improve your oral health and encourage questions. Ashanti, Ashley, and Zach are the dream team! Forget your negative experience with the dentist and book your next appointment here - highly recommend!

Front desk, Dental Assistant (Kathy, Angela, Ashley), Dr. Streit, Dental hygienist (Ashanti) = awesome. After living in Boston, MA for almost 14 yrs, since moving back in 2006, I shamefully admit that I have not found my go-to dentist. That said, after being disappointed with several dentists, I am truly thankful for being led to Dr. Streit and his team.

Super efficient, caring, professional, meticulous, and overall great at what they do. I am now having my husband go see Dr. Streit and the team after moving from Oregon (and he too shamefully not having a regular dentist). Pleasantly surprised albeit finding the team over internet google :).

I was initially reluctant to keep my teeth cleaning appointment because of Covid. After talking with the receptionist and hearing all the steps being taken to keep everyone as safe as possible, I went. I waited in my car and they called me when they were ready for me. My temperature was taken upon arrival, everyone was wearing a mask and there was not another patient in the chair one room over. Every step was taken to insure my safety and theirs and I felt very comfortable with the new protocol. I would highly recommend Distinctive Denistry.

My first experiences with a dentist (more than 60 years ago now!) were horrific. When my mom decided to bring me to her dentist instead, things were somewhat better, but I still dreaded going. Fast forward into this century: due to my mom's dentist retirement and divorce robbing me of insurance and income, I had to go without regular checkups for 18 years.

Several visits to various dentists in Snohomish County for semi-emergency repairs were all I could afford--and those visits were incredibly painful and unsatisfactory. Needless to say my teeth were not in good shape. And then, in the summer of 2019, because of a referral from a friend who swore by Dr. Zach, I called them when I suspected an abcessed tooth.

They got me in right away, and also went the extra mile to comfort me when I needed it! In the past year or so, I no longer dread going to the dentist. They've taken care of several of my dental health issues in addition to cleanings, and I am not only impressed with their top level of care, but with their efforts to make it all as painless as can be.

The dental hygenists and the front desk staff are so caring, helpful, and always patiently answer all my questions. I am so glad that Dr. Zach is about half my age, because I consider him and his team to be my dental care providers for life. I'm now actually looking forward to my next slate of appointments because I know Dr. Zach's team always takes good care of me, and my teeth will be so much improved with each visit! Kudos to Distinctive Dentistry in Edmonds, Washington, and many thanks from a very grateful patient.

I have to post this review so people who have similar problems can be aware of the potential outcome. I came to the office for a cavity fill. It was a big cavity that I was already warned by another dentist that I might need a root canal. I did discussed with Dr. Streit, and he said that the cavity was not deep enough so it didn't touch the nerve so no root canal was performed. However, I repeatedly told him the cavity tooth was very sensitive before the fill and and feels like a big gap or hole in between the teeth with sensitivity after the fill.

He said the sensitivity will be gone in a couple of weeks and the bite was okay. Meaning that he did his job regardless how I felt. How could he do that? I felt something wrong with it and discomfort bothered me ever since he finished the fill. It turns out he was wrong. I went to Endodontics Northwest and Dr. Colic told me that the bacteria was already infected the nerves that's why the tooth was super sensitive.

I had to suffer the sensitivity for almost whole year because I had to travel abroad and when I come back with all the COVID situation. I went back to check up the problematic tooth and he was simply said that I needed a root canal without a proper apology. I went back last time for cleaning and complaint about the gap/hole in between the teeth. His stuff did another X-ray and said yes there is something still wrong with that tooth but he was rushing to get off work and only scrap couple of the front teeth.

He didn't finish the cleaning process and didn't come up with a treatment plan. Dr. Streit was not warm and caring and makes me feel like I was not welcomed personally. I wish I could be treated with more respect from the doctor. (The front desk stuff was awesome.) But most of all, as a patient, I have to pay the cost for his mistake and suffer for the consequences.

All I wanted was just a doctor save me from the pain, he didn't. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and put my trust to him so I went back there three times. I used my dental benefit with him and now I have to wait until my dental plan renew so I can find a new dentist. Major disappointment.

If I could give 6 stars I would. I am so happy with this practice. Dr. Streit was amazing. I have a very sensitive mouth, so a lot of routine procedures can hurt more than the average person. Dr. Streit made sure to constantly check to make sure I wasn't in pain, and that I was comfortable. He got the procedures done quickly, but effectively.

The entire staff was very friendly, from the front desk to the assistant. I wish every dental practice could operate this way. Highly recommend anyone to come see Dr. Streit and his team. I will definitely be a lifetime patient here.

I wish I could give a negative star rating as this was the worst dental experience I have ever had! He believes in saving teeth? Hogwash! I had a cavity that was below the gum line so Dr. S said it needed to be pulled. When I questioned that decision, he just shook his head impatiently and proceeded to pull the tooth. The tooth was healthy enough that he had to put all his body weight into trying to yank out my tooth.

I already have severe dental fear, so it wasn't long before tears were streaming down my face. This really pissed him off, so he snapped at me saying; Do you want more Novacaine!? He repeatly hurt me and by the time he was done I was near hysteria. They were so eager to rush me out of there so the people in the waiting room wouldn't see, that they told me I could pay later as they hustled me out the door.

Of the 6 dentists I've had in my lifetime Dr Streit and his staff have given me the best care ever. Dr Streit inspired my confidence immediately with his thoroughness, skill and is gentle yet effective. Also true for the dental hygienist. Knowledgeable, efficient and very friendly staff. I appreciate everyone there.

I don't know where to begin when saying that my experience with the entire team at Distinctive Dentistry far exceeded my expectations! I walked in this morning fearful and unsure of what to expect at my first dentist appointment in years. However, that quickly changed! Dr. Streit explained everything that needs to be addressed and suggested a great treatment plan in such a calm, professional way. I can't wait to go back for my next appointment!

Dr. Striet is the best. He is consistently on top of the latest treatment in dentistry. His manner and demeanor are professional and yet very kind. His staff is great, his office very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Best dentistry service I've ever received. Easy service experience, particularly appointment setting and online new client registration. Comfortable and friendly environment. Also, this practice has clearly invested in the latest imagery technology--much more comfortable, less radiation than your phone, and super informative and helpful analysis of oral health. Dr. Streit is very good at what he does; and his team were great too. Can't recommend them enough.

Dr. Streit and his team took great care of me today. They were all very kind, courteous, and honest in how to proceed with my dental treatment plan. His staff showed me how to best utilize my insurance, and set up all the scheduling in the office. Special thanks to Ashanti, who did my cleaning.

My son has been coming to Distinctive Dentistry for years. He loves the staff and has never been afraid to go to the dentist. They also have Bubble Tea next door.

Super nice folks! Always personal and attentive. Very good at what they do! Better and more thorough cleaning than I've previously had. They are proactive about my cleaning regime and made a personal plan for my situation. Pen early and prices are competitive too! Highly recommended!

I've been seeing Dr. Albert, and now Dr. Streit, for the past 15 years. I could not possibly be happier with both the care and level of service they provide here. I drive an hour each way to come here, and it's worth the drive every time. I cannot possibly recommend them more highly.

This place is great. I'm always in and out while I'm there, they never make me wait, and they always do a quick quality job. I originally came here just to get a tooth fixed (my old dentist quoted me a ridiculous price) and now I will be making this place my primary dentist for all of my tooth needs. Not to mention the lady who works the front desks is great!

My two year old daughter and I are fairly new to Dr. Streit's office but I feel as though we have been going there for years. The staff is absolutely wonderful and Dr. Streit is THE best dentist! Dr. Streit was able to do a full cleaning on my two year old on the second visit in. His ability to go from adult appointment to child appointment is seamless and puts both mommy and toddler at ease. There is no where else I would want to go or to take my child. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because Distinctive Dentistry definitely deserves it!

My new appointment was a wonderful experience. Everyone was friendly, relaxed and helpful. The hygienist, Katie, took her time, explained what she was doing and why, and did an excellent job cleaning my teeth. I enjoyed meeting Dr. Streit and his calm, professional and informative manner. It is such a relief to find this new dental home.

First things first I hate the dentist. Try to avoid going as much as possible. Dr. Streit makes going to the dentist bearable. Had a broken tooth and he came in during his off hours to fix it for me and I didn't hate it. Appointment was quick and easy. I've been a couple other times for routine stuff and both times were great. His staff is very friendly and Dr. Streit seems like a great guy. He will be my dentist and my families dentist for life.

This clinic deserves more than five stars. I have been a patient of this clinic since childhood. Today I had my upper wisdom teeth removed. I decided it was time and that I could stall no longer. As hesitant as I was to have the procedure, I had confidence that Dr. Streit would perform a swift, painless extraction. My two upper wisdom teeth were removed in less than 10 minutes.

The preparation was close to painless. My total discomfort was 2/10. I am extremely impressed with both his technique and professionalism. I will recommend his practice to anyone and everyone. I am Dr. Streit's patient for life.

Dr Streit is friendly, professional and thorough. He made me feel at ease, even though I am usually nervous at the dentist. Teeth are sparkling. I am definitely coming back

Awesome experience. Has to be the best dentist ever. Dr. Streit made me feel comfortable, I get a little anxious when going to the dentist, I don't always go as often as I should. I thought it would be a lot worse than it was. I went in for the cleaning and knew I had work I needed done, but we are spreading it out to make it easier to handle. They also accepted my insurance, which helps a lot.

He was able to fix my front tooth when I was there for the cleaning. No dentist is painless, but this one is pretty close. Everyone was very nice and professional. Thank you for making my stress easier to handle.
