“It was excellent experience! The clear communications with front desk staff, the dentist 100%, one of the staff that worked on me today ( so sorryi forgothernamea. She deserves big raise! ?? .
The dentist was up front, honest, very kind and friendly, I felt reassured and definitely will be continuing see him.
One more thing, the assistant already knew I had anxiety, so already I felt like she was ready and prepared to offer me couple options to ease my anxiety and helped me to be relaxed and not jump out of the chair ( just kidding, I wouldn't jump ??).
It's a ligid thing she had me to drink it , and moving all around in my mouth and then 1minute later I spit it out! It's definitely was a blessing in sky!

About Dr. Garrett Gentling
Dr. Gentling is a native of Shoreline, graduating from Shorewood High School and the University of Puget Sound, where he was a distinguished swimmer and student-athlete, earning All-American Honors in his final season of competition. It was during a summer in high school, while on the swim team, that Dr. Gentling got to know the MacGeorge family and Dr. MacGeorge, the former owner of what is now Gentling Smiles.
He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Washington, further preparing him to provide exceptional dental care. Though his love of surf and sun took him to Oahu, HI, for the early stages of his career, Dr. Gentling returned home to the greater Seattle area in the fall of 2016 to be near his friends and family. It was truly exceptional timing that Drs. Gentling and MacGeorge reconnected, as Dr. Gentling was eager to join a dental practice and community that he can serve for many years to come.
Dr. Gentling is thrilled to have this opportunity to continue the legacy of Dr. Stephen MacGeorge with top-quality dental care for his valued patients and to serve his hometown community of Shoreline, WA.

After a long time of being less than thrilled with my smile, I decided to have aesthetic veeners done. I've never been happier with my teeth.

My dental visits here have been great! The staff and doc are so friendly. I did invisalign in the office to correct my teeth that had shifted since braces when I was younger. It was quick and so easy, I highly reccomend Dr. G.

It had been a while since my last dental visit and I was warned about having work done. Dr. Gentling and his staff truly put me at ease and even offered nitrous gas to help relax me. Thank you.
