Seattle Dental Care

I had my first appointment at Seattle Dental Care and had a fabulous experience. Everyone in the office was friendly and helpful. I am a high dental anxiety patient and have never felt so comfortable at a dental office.

I'm a new patient. I wanted to try and support biologic dentistry. I was excited - and I asked about pricing over the phone before I became a patient - so I could compare the cost with my current dentist. When I arrived for my first cleaning (following a $400 initial consult the month prior), I was blindsided when I was told this deep cleaning (right side only) was going to cost $1,123. 00. I had traveled there, I was in shock. I entered the room. I had a lovely and qualified hygienist do a through cleaning (deep cleaning on only 1/2 the mouth) that latest just over 60 minutes. I needed no medicine for numbing. It was not painful even though I have some very deep pockets.
I paid my bill (because I am a bill payer), and I left, in shock and very upset with myself for not having just walked out right after I had arrived and been given the estimate.
Instead, I wrote Drs. an email to Drs. Stickney and Cziao to ask them to transfer my records back to my dentist of many years. I will return to that clinic and just avoid the flouride treatments that they give (because that is not biological). I told them that the rates they are charging are completely unconscionable. I have no idea how on earth they can charge this kind of money. My care was very good. Dr. Cziao was lovely and explained what he was doing and Jennifer did a good, deep clean, but these prices are out of this world unreasonable.

Seattle Dental Care has been my dental home for many years, and under their care, I've seen remarkable improvements in both my overall health and dental health. What I love the most is they regularly perform bacteria test and pH level check up. With those information they fine-tune how I care for myself. This is a clinic that truly embody the essence of holistic dentistry and tailor to what my health needs.

After several dental traumas. I'm thrilled to have discovered a dentist who adopts a true holistic approach, who is willing to listen and care for my health, and employs natural methods to heal my teeth.

Dangerously incompetent. They have incompetent hygienist do root planing and scared me into a procedure that ruined my health and cannot be undone

Wonderful holistic dental practice that ACTUALLY focuses on prevention and overall health rather than just fillings, etc. lovely people and a lovely office/location!

Dr. Stickney has been wonderful. I am sorry he is scaling back.
His new associate Dr. Cziao, however, is a huge disappointment.
As he cleaned my teeth ultrasonically I smelled burning tooth. When I asked if what he was doing could remove enamel, he initially said no, but then admitted it could.
After this 'cleaning' my teeth have been continuously sensitive to temperature and acidic foods.
I believe his technique stripped enamel. After years of great care with Dr. Stickney, I have changed dental clinics and advised my family to do the same.
One would hope that a dentist would know and care about the rudimentary elements of dental care, but I now do not trust any aspect of Dr. Cziao's judgment at this point.
In addition, since this office shifted to new ownership, the office staff has been less professional and competent. Long term competent staff has been replaced by inexperienced and rotating staff who appear to be casually trialing new processes and procedures.
After over 30 years with this clinic I am sorry to have to change, but feel it is in the best interest after trying to give them the benefit of the doubt over my past and last year with them.

Absolutely fantastic experience - finally a dentist interested in holistic care. Wish I had found them sooner

Dr. Stickney saved my oral health. Hands down the best dentist I have ever been to in my 52 years. He treats your teeth as living tissue, choosing the least invasive approach to repair and the most holistic route to recovery, including ozone treatment to mitigate harmful bacterial growth that can cause issues down the line. I have been going to Dr. Stickney for nearly 13, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I wish there were more like him.

Without reservation I recommend Dr Rick Stickney and his staff.
His office is above World Market, near Pike Place Market, with free parking below

He was referred to me by a Holistic MD, about 15 years ago, soon after I arrived in Seattle.
He is a Holistic Dentist, always learning and staying on top of new developments.

I have been living with Chronic Illness for decades.
I have strange symptoms which include my teeth and gums.
I have been very sensitive to drugs, chemicals, metals, etc

I have had dental experiences in the past that have been detrimental to my overall health.
Therefore, I have invested in working with Dr Stickney, and I am very grateful for his care, and that of his staff.
