I had to have a full mouth dental implant top and bottom plates. And Dr timmerman took very good care of me and checked with me even after I got home. Was having trouble getting my pain under control. And he went out of his way and drove to his office and picked up a prescription and drove it to my pharmacy and personally dropped it off for me I have never heard of anyone ever doing that for a patient. But that’s the kind of doctor he is. I would recommend Dr timberman two anyone that had to have dental work done they make sure you know and understand everything, there are no hidden fees. And they really do take good care of you they make you feel like you’re part of their family. And I will make sure all my dental work is done to his office. And they made me so comfortable and unafraid, when I have been terrified of dentist my whole life since I was 8 years old had a bad experience with the dentist I am 60 now and he made me feel like I was going into get a professional makeup job done he did such a good job at restoring my smile I had missing teeth I even had bone loss but he made me look so good and feel so good about myself I am on cloud nine right now and my kids keep saying mama you have such a beautiful smile again

Dr Timmerman is a real pro. He is a gifted crafter of smiles . All on 6 in my case. For years i havent publicly smiled at anyone. My natural teeth had reached the end. Enter Seattle Smiles to give me a solution that restored confidence in myself to present my true self to the world again. The consultation was thorough and very educational to me. Its tough to hear you cant keep your natural teeth anymore but Dr Timmerman did great explaining my options and being honest about the consequences for my oral and general health. I trusted the Dr completely and he did a terrific job on my all on 6 (upper and lower) restoration. Prep and Surgery was well prepared and almost completely painless . Its amazing from the quality of the work performed to the underlying advanced tech to the craftsmenship of my new smile and the great support of Holly to help me explore potential coverage under my health insurance. 1st class staff, top notch Dentist and full support of this journey. On to healing and getting final set late this summer. Very pleased with the results. My wife says she doesnt want me to go out in public because “I look too good”. Thanks Dr Timmerman and staff, you changed my life .

Dr. Timmerman is exceptionally skilled and friendly. He exhibits a gentle touch when working on your teeth. His staff is also very welcoming. I once witnessed Dr. Timmerman performing an emergency tooth repair for someone I knew, and he did an excellent job. I wouldn’t consider going to anyone else. My trust in Dr. Timmerman is unwavering at 100%. When it comes to cosmetic dental work, Dr. Timmerman is, without a doubt, the best!

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.
