Medical Tourism

Cosmetic Dental Work…Make a Vacation Out of It

Medical tourism is growing in popularity. It makes a lot of sense– why not travel to get the best level of care and discover a new place as well? You can see the sights before or after your treatment and have cleaning and meals taken care of for an easier recovery. Many people travel for medical tourism; our dental office sees patients from all over the U.S.A. and across the globe.

Convenient Accommodations

Our dental office is located minutes from SEATAC airport and is directly next door to Hilton’s Homewood Suites. We can handle out of town patients very well! You can come and we’ll take care of you. For an additional fee, we’ll even take care of your accommodations.

The Perfect Excuse to Discover Seattle

Dr. Timmerman offers artisan cosmetic dental care worth traveling for, and Seattle is an exciting urban city surrounded by unmatched natural beauty. Learn more about the area on Seattle’s tourism site.

Food & Drink

Try Washington-grown ripe fruit—raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, apples, and cherries. More than 50,000 acres of fertile hills and valleys grow grapes for Washington’s hearty red and crisp white wines. There are also rich coffees, refreshing beers, distinctive spirits, and many other foods and drinks to taste and enjoy.

Arts & Culture

Seattle is a great arts city. For instance, the public art collection features over 400 works that enliven the parks, bridges, and streets; everything from buildings to manhole covers. It is the home of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. The Pacific Northwest Ballet explores new dance, and Seattle features more than 140 theatre companies.

See the Sights

You must experience the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and the Seattle Great Wheel at least once– Seattle has so many more sights to offer! Take a trip to Woodinville for Washington wines. Load up on the Victoria Clipper for an awe-inspiring trip to Canada. Spread your wings at the Museum of Flight, explore around the city for an eyeful at Kerry Park, or take a walk on the waterfront.

Feeling thankful! After struggling to find someone who could help me with my dental implant, I was finally seen at South Seattle Smiles. The supportive and caring staff made all the difference. Dr. Timmerman’s professionalism and attentiveness made me feel right at home. I recommend South Seattle Smiles for anyone looking for cosmetic dentistry in the Fairwood area. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m actually looking forward to my next appointment!

All on x dental implant procedure… Dr. Timmerman and his staff changed my life. My whole experience was nothing short of amazing. Holly from day one was completely upfront and helpful through the whole 6 month procedure, always friendly , and happy to answer every question I had. And I had a TON of questions !! Their other two staff members, Breonna (I’m sure I spelled that wrong sorry! ) and Dr. Timmerman’s dental assistant Tuba, couldn’t have been more kind. I honestly can’t say enough about how well the process went. Thank you Dr. Timmerman, Holly , Breonna, and Tuba. You really have changed everything for me !
