My friend recommended essence of dentistry 4 years ago when I moved into the area. I have been having really pleasant experiences. Dr. Han and other associates genuinely care about the patients. She would choose the best treatment plan without imposing anything unnecessary. They are also very accommodating. There are multiple times that they squeezed me into their tight schedule so my dental problems can be addressed sooner.

Excellent dentists and hygienists. They are very experienced, professional, patient and friendly. I'm very happy with my crowns and they made the dentist experience comfortable. For those like me who just don't like the idea of dental work, rest assured you're in great hands here. Highly recommended 10 star service

5 stars! Essence of Dentistry, Alison Han, and staff are wonderful! I didn't take care of my teeth as a teen and young adult, and after avoiding dentists over the following years I found myself in the hands of this caring team. I needed quite a bit of help/work, and now after I believe 7 years I am in a much better place. With no judgement and nothing but compassion, Alison and team came up with a plan to get my mouth into the great place I'm in today! My experience has been perfect and I would recommend Essence of Dentistry to anyone looking for a new dentist!

This is a great place for your dental needs. I have dental anxiety but everyone at the practice were so kind and understanding! Dr. Allison and her associates are wonderful, highly skilled people with the most patient approach ever. I love how everyone was very mindful and helped me work through my anxiety while being absolutely transparent about the process. The highlight of this practice is that they don't push for unnecessary treatments. I really appreciate everyone here and look forward to my visits every time.

Every visit to this establishment has been different but the last one was enough for me to not return. At the end of my last visit the dentist offered me cosmetic work to "correct" my teeth which I found very inappropriate as there is nothing functionally wrong with my teeth. Furthermore the fillings felt like popcorn kernels in my teeth for weeks until they finally fell out.

I canceled my next appointment after this and they promptly turned me into collections without calling me or sending a bill to settle the small amount I would have gladly paid. Offering cosmetic work made me think twice about how necessary other work they performed really was. It feels like this practice sees their client's as paychecks rather than humans.

Awesome dental office! This is my first time going to a dentist in the U.S, and I was blew away with their skills and service. The assistants are really nice, and Dr Han and Lisa took really good care of me. They were explaining to me each steps they performed on my teeth, which is super comforting and supportive, and helped me a lot from getting over my fear of dentist. Highly recommend this place for their outstanding customer service, friendliness and skills.

Me and my wife have been here a couple of times and we really loved the experience. Dr. Han is awesome to work with. So is Dr. Michael An. When we came we were a little scared. However, they calmed us down and really explained the procedure and did everything in an amazing way. The front office is also super helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Coming from someone who hasn't had the best experiences with dentists before Dr. Han, I actually enjoy going to the dentist now. She has filled multiple cavities for me over the last few months and each time has been a great experience. I no longer feel anxiety about going to the dentist, so I can't recommend her enough! Especially if you are someone who feels uneasy about going to the dentist and/or having cavities.

It's always a pleasure to visit Dr Han. I have been going to her for over 15 years. I have had deep cleanings, root canals and regular cleanings and I have no complaints! She always provides me with options and never makes me feel obligated to do anything. She is the best!

Dr. Han has been my dentist for almost 10 years. She is very professional, kind and patient. I am very grateful for her services, especially the recent treatment of my gum disease. I experienced severe pain due to gum infection on a Saturday morning and don't know what to do. I texted her and she responded immediately and scheduled an early morning appointment.

She did a procedure to drain pus and I got so much better afterwards. I fully recovered in the next couple of days. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a dentist. She can also speak mandarin, so it will be very helpful if your native tongue is Chinese.

Dr. Han is the best dentist I have ever been seen by. Her staff is friendly and helpful from the front desk to her assistants. I've been very reluctant to go to a dentist in past years due to the sounds and smells of the dentist office. She has made me feel comfortable and is very understanding with my dental situation. I would highly recommend seeing her, I am so much happier with my smile! She is the best around! Go see her!

Always a great experience. Great team, great care. Doctor Han is the best dental restoration expert I know, and I fully trust her with my (heavy) dental care needs. The team is great too, and knows how to make patients comfortable. Prices are transparent - ia good thing particularlywparticularly it comes to healthcare - and the whole place is clean and welcoming. Strongly recommend!

I went to Essence of Dentistry for the first time in Dec 2020, after several years of not having been to a dentist and not taking good care of my dental health. I have only had great experiences in all my visits so far. Everyone treated me with care and made me feel very comfortable. Dr. Han explained things in great detail and laid out all the options I had without being overly pushy or prescriptive about a specific way forward. Without a doubt, Essence of Dentistry has been the best dental practice I have ever been to.

Essence of Dentistry is definitely my dentist-to-go place. I have been seeing Dr Han for almost 6 years, and have done cleaning, teeth filling and crown in their office. I'm pretty satisfied with their professional work and friendly people. Highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for an accountable dentist!

The BEST dentist I've been to. Dr. Han, her private practice, and team have provided me with the highest quality service I've experienced from any practice with cleaning, fillings, retainers, mouth guards, and protection for exposed tooth nerves due to receding gums. Dr. Han is intelligent, personable, and makes logical recommendations to improve your holistic oral health.

She will work with your budget to provide you a plan and great service. She hires great employees and trains them well as they are very knowledgeable, skilled, and were able answer all my questions.

Dr. Han and the team at Essence of Dentistry are exceptional. My family has been seeing her for almost close to 20 years and have had the absolute best experience, we wouldn't go anywhere else. The team here is professional and courteous and does such an exceptional job. They really have your best interest at heart.

I started going to Essence of Dentistry as a kid when I first moved to Washington in 2013, and I'm still going there to this day. Dr. Han and her team are excellent, it's easy to make and cancel appointments, and they're always willing to explain to you what's going on. I had some hesitations during the pandemic about going in, but they did a great job protecting us, with excellent personal protection for staff members and great safety measures for clients coming in(open windows, air filters, social distancing, temperature screening, germ-killing mouth wash, the works).

I've had cavities filled here, along with getting all four of my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Han. The fillings were a breeze, Dr. Han is always willing to listen to what you're worried about and explain how they plan on doing the procedure. I was particularly worried about getting my wisdom teeth removed as I had always heard such painful stories, but Dr. Han got them out with just some local aesthetic.

I felt nothing but a slight tugging and only needed a little Advil for a few days after. If you're looking for an excellent dentist who can easily answer any of your questions, look no further as Dr. Han, and her team have you covered.

I've been seeing Dr. Han for roughly 8 years and I have never been happier. No matter what my appointment is, I know I am in good hands. Dr. Han walks me through everything, making sure I understand exactly what she is talking about and any additional work I may need. Not only do I love Dr. Han, but her team is nothing short of amazing as well. I have had fillings, a cap, cleanings, and even wisdom teeth extraction done with Dr. Han and her team! I refuse to go anywhere else.

Dr Han was able to see me amongst her busy schedule as an emergency appointment even though I was an international visitor. Captain Awesome aka Sarah definitely made completion of the patient paper work an enjoyable experience.
