Dental implants provide a comfortable, permanent solution to lost teeth. The dental replacements are attached to titanium posts that actually fuse to your jawbone and become natural anchors, so your new teeth will remain securely in place without the need for messy adhesives. A fully restored smile is as healthy as it is beautiful by promoting bone growth and reducing the risk of receding gums.

The dentist seemed capable but I wondered about his judgment after interacting with his argumentative dental hygienist. Both times I was in and got her, she was gruff and unhappy. The first time I was able to coax her into a somewhat pleasant frame of mind but the second time I wasn't up to the challenge. Here's a business tip: your patients are already hurting - don't make their time even more painful by exposing them to nastiness. The receptionist was a bright spot in two otherwise moody encounters. Maybe she should train the others.

My last two visits to Tumwater Family Dentistry was less than optimal but yesterday's visit was top notch. Walt was awesome cleaning my teeth and the Dr. Chris actually looked me in the eyes and talked to me. Great experience and very satisfied. Thank you!

My hygienist was great. He was so friendly and made the cleaning time fly. He was knowledgeable and gave some great tips. I've had some really uncomfortable cleanings in the past where I had to go home to take Tylenol for the mouth soreness but this hygienist gave me a thorough cleaning with close to no discomfort and no soreness left over! I didn't have to wait long in the waiting room and my appointment was right on time. The dentist came in within minutes of my cleaning being finished and was short and to the point but very friendly. Great visit thanks to this excellent hygienist!

My visit was positive and everyone was friendly and competent. The cleaning was very thorough and so was the review by Dr. Merchant. All of my questions and issues were discussed and answered in understandable lay terms. Very good visit.

I was able to get a next day appointment, so no long wait to be seen. They were very kind, courteous and efficient. They quickly diagnosed my problems and scheduled my treatment. The cost of my examination, x-rays and consultation were very affordable. I highly recommend Tumwater Family Dentistry.

The dentists and hygienists are great; however, the billing for this place has been horrible. Every time I have gone, I have been told I don't owe anything, then receive a huge bill in the mail that takes multiple phone calls to get straightened out. I can understand this happening once, but every time I have gone, I have been incorrectly billed. If it wasn't so close to my work, and have a good dental staff, I would easily go someplace else.
