“I have been a patient at Thomas dentistry for over 10 years and have always appreciated their open and friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable and helpful advice, use of new technology and methods, consistent and kind care. Dr. Thomas, Dr. Nguyen, and Dr. Jaswal have all demonstrated genuine care and interest in their patient’s lives, dental health and history, and other medical concerns. I admire their dedication to providing excellent solutions to dental problems, and patience with special issues. I would recommend this team to everyone!”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Thomas since he began his practice. He is thorough in his exams, and professional in his treatments. He has done root canals, implants, and crowns for me, and the results have always been very good.”

“Great dentist! I came after Covid for my first checkup and cleaning, and ended up needing to have some childhood crowns replaced. During the process they were very thorough, even once getting a crown remade to have a perfect fit. One of those visits came in under the estimate. I appreciate the care they take in their practice. The staff are always nice and fun to talk to. Since my first series I’ve come here for over a year and have always had great experiences. Still need to floss more but the dentists and assistants are super nice about it! Also have great reminder system, and are very patient and thorough when working on insurance issues.”

“I did not have a dentist in the Seattle area and choose Thomas Dentistry because they were close and nearby. Boy, did I strike gold! I hadn't been to the dentist in a while and I needed some work done to get clearance for a other medical procedure. They were so great in getting me set up and expediting my treatments. Everyone was very professional and friendly. I can highly recommend them for your dental work.”

Happy Client from Kirkland Office
“Such a wonderful dentist's office! The staff is always welcoming, efficient, and they do a great job with my oral care. The other day I had a tooth brush bristle stuck in between two of my teeth and needed to come in for a minute visit. They got me in that day and were able to remove the bristle. It was such a relief! Going to the dentist can somethings be uncomfortable, but at Thomas Dentistry I always feel taken care of.”

“I just started going here this year after bouncing around different dentist for years and have had a great experience each visit. I have had everything from cleaning, fillings, root canal, crown and they have all gone well. The office is nice, conveniently located and has off street parking. The entire staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Jaswal is excellent, takes his time not only with his work but explaining what you have going on, your options etc. Overall only good things to say about this place and definitely recommend it.”
