For so many dental patients, dread, fear, and anxiety are the dominant feelings that lead up to a trip to the dental office – but it doesn’t have to be this way. At South Seattle Smiles in Tukwila, WA, acclaimed cosmetic dentist Dr. Lance Timmerman has made a conscious effort to radically overhaul the patient experience. We believe that going to the dentist should be more going to the spa; exemplified not by pain, panic, or anxiety, but by comfort, relaxation, and world-class care. From customized anesthesia that lets you sleep for the duration of your treatment to heated towels in our luxurious lounge area, our team takes every step possible to ensure not just perfect results, but a comfortable and relaxing experience for every patient we see. If you’re looking for a dentist near you, give us a call today and make South Seattle Smiles your new dental home.
Our dedication to patient care is evident as soon as you walk through the doors of our Tukwila, WA, dental office and meet our dentist and welcoming, professional staff. For over 20 years, Dr. Timmerman has witnessed firsthand the struggle and anguish that so many patients go through when it comes to receiving dental care. This is why he has tirelessly worked to modify and perfect his treatments; in addition to prioritizing beautiful smile results, Dr. Timmerman equally prioritizes patient comfort and care.
The implementation of state-of-the-art technology is much of what makes our practice so advanced in terms of patient comfort. Even for in-depth procedures such as full arch surgical implants, our powerful anesthesia options all but guarantees that you won’t feel a thing while you’re in the operating chair. We even use a special digital tool called The Wand™, which numbs localized areas of an anesthesia injection site for a completely pain-free experience. From the start of your treatment to the finish, our promise to you is an unrivaled level of patient care and a long-lasting smile that you’ll be proud to show off.
Like any profession, the skill and expertise of a dentist is largely defined by hands-on experience. With over two decades of experience in every facet of dental care, Dr. Lance Timmerman is a dentist that has developed an extraordinary level of precision, craftsmanship, and authentic dental artistry (we even have one of Dr. Timmerman’s handcrafted sculptures on display in our Tukwila dental office!).
