For Patients

Information for New & Existing Dental Patients

When you visit Dr. Lance Timmerman, he’ll treat you like you’re the only patient in the world, and you’re bound to completely rethink how you feel about going to the dentist! Here, we combine premier customer service with world-class care to help local families enjoy strong, healthy smiles for life. Before you come to see us, we’re sure you have questions, and you’ll find answers to many of them below. If there is anything else you’d like to know, don’t hesitate to give us a call!

Your First Dental Visit

Just like every other appointment you’ll experience here, your first visit will be all about YOU. After being greeted in our reception area (we don’t have a “waiting room” because our patients don’t wait!), you’ll be given a brief tour of the dental office so you can meet the team, and then we’ll begin the appointment by taking a CBCT scan (3D X-ray) of your mouth and head.

Dr. Timmerman will ask you a simple question: “Why are you here today?” Do you just need a checkup and cleaning? Some restorative dentistry? Looking to improve your appearance?

Based on your answer, Dr. Timmerman will come up with a customized treatment plan designed to turn your goals into a reality.

New Patient Forms

To help us check you in as fast as possible, you now have the option to fill out our patient forms online before your appointment and once you arrive at the dental office we will have you ready to go and get you in to see Dr. Timmerman right away!
This is just one of the many ways we try to save you time, and if you have any issues getting ahold of our forms, please let us know.

Dental Insurance Welcome

While dental insurance can seem complicated at times, here, we like to keep it nice and simple. If you have a plan, we’ll accept it, and not only that, our team will also file your claim for you to make sure you’re maximizing your benefits. We’re more than happy to help make your dental care easily affordable, and to learn more about getting the most out of your plan, follow the link below to read our short guide!

Financing Available

For patients without insurance, or those who want procedures that typically aren’t covered (like cosmetic dentistry), it only takes a few clicks to sign up for flexible, low-to-no interest financing with companies such as CareCredit and GreenSky. With them, you can break up the cost of your treatment into much smaller, budget-friendly installments, all without hidden fees, penalties, or surprise charges. You can learn more and select a plan by following the link below.

I have lived in the south Seattle area for 10 years and this is by far the best Dental office I have found in the area. Fast, efficient, and pleasant service. Exceptionally skilled and experienced staff. The dental work I have had done at this office is, hands down, the best quality I have ever had done (and I have had a lot done) Exceptional. Highly recommended.

If you have embarrassment or fears concerning your teeth /mouth condition this is the place to come. Very professional! They put you immediately at ease. My teeth are in horrible condition. It was difficult for me to even make the apt as I’m so embarrassed to even open my mouth. From the receptionist to the doctor I was treated as if I was the only patient they had that day. They even helped me get financing! Make the call today you won’t be sorry.
