Sound Smiles Pediatric Dentistry

Welcome to Sound Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, a Dental Clinic located at 116 SW 160th St in Burien, Washington, specializing in pediatric dental care. Reviews regarding this practice offer contrasting experiences, with some parents expressing concerns while others highly praise Dr. Tyler and his staff.

One parent shared a disappointing experience involving multiple visits for their toddler. During the first two appointments, they did not see the dentist profiled on the website and received no clarification about the credentials of the dentists they did see, even after an email inquiry. On the second visit, a spot on their toddler's molar was dismissed as a stain, only for Dr. Tyler to later suggest, at the third appointment, anesthetizing their 2.5-year-old for caps on all molars, with a suggestion to delay treatment. This approach made the parents feel like the clinic was prioritizing financial gain. Seeking a second opinion from a different dentist, they were told that only one filling was needed urgently for a cavity, and all other teeth could be managed with good oral hygiene. While acknowledging that the clinic might work well for some, this parent suggested it might be more suitable for children with perfect teeth.

In contrast, another parent described Dr. Tyler and his staff as "amazing!" They found them to be super friendly and calming, as well as straight forward in explaining everything before any procedure. This parent noted that their son, who was previously afraid of the dentist, had a positive check-up experience and now wants to return, thanks to Dr. Tyler and his staff. They appreciated Dr. Tyler speaking with them before and after their son’s procedure, explaining the planned actions and possible scenarios beforehand, and then detailing what was done and why afterward. This reviewer also highlighted that both of Dr. Tyler’s offices are child-friendly and create a welcoming environment for children.

Based on these reviews, Sound Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, led by Dr. Tyler, offers a child-friendly and welcoming environment with a staff described as friendly, calming, and communicative. However, potential local users should be aware of a reported experience where a parent felt they received unclear information about the dentists seen and perceived pressure towards extensive treatment that was not supported by a second opinion. It appears that experiences may vary. For appointments or inquiries, please contact them at (206) 922-7874 or via mobile phone at +1 206-922-7874. While the clinic is described as child-friendly, specific details about the environment and a comprehensive list of all services offered are not extensively detailed.
