You’re researching a new dentist. The University District has plenty. What patients tell us they were looking for: a practice that explains the recommendation in plain words, that doesn’t treat 15th Ave as a foot-traffic stop, and that remembers their name on the second visit. We’ve been the dentist on 15th Ave for over forty years.
No surprise treatment plans. No surprise bills. The dentist is on your side of the table.

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Dr. Thomas is an amazing dentist. At both his Mercer Island and Kirkland offices the staff is very warm and welcoming. Dr. Thomas has been my husband’s and my dentist for over 20 years and has done exceptional dental work. He makes his patients feel at ease with his caring, positive and fun personality. My grandchildren also see Dr. Thomas and he has an amazing way of helping them to feel comfortable and thus, cooperative. Dr. Thomas has the highest medical and ethical standards. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Thomas for any dental procedure.”

“As always Dr. McNabb did not fail to impress! We are very fortunate to have him as our dentist . But I also wanted to lift up NADIA who cleaned my teeth this time around and did such an AMAZING job. She is really good at what she does, and has such a calming and personable way about her. Highly recommend these guys!!!”

“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.”
