Reviews for Cosmetic Periodontics Services Near Bellevue, WA

I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Ghadri and the entire team at Premier Periodontists in Olympia. From the moment I walked into the clinic a year ago, I felt at ease and well-cared for by the team - truly remarkable. They took the time to explain my condition in a way that was easy to understand and outlined a treatment plan that made me feel confident and informed. I would also say the cost was much less than the other Olympia providers - a fair price given insurance doesn't cover this procedure! Throughout my visits, Lisa (huge shout out to her amazing professional skills and warm and friendly approach) was incredibly attentive and compassionate, making sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The results have been outstanding, and I can genuinely say my oral health has improved drastically thanks to their dedicated care. I just had my one-year checkup from Gum Recession Treatment and the results are truly amazing. My recession is completely reversed, and my oral health has never been better. If you're looking for a skilled, compassionate periodontist who genuinely cares about their patients, I highly recommend Dr. Ghadri and the wonderful team at Olympia, Premier Periodontics. Thank you for making such a difference in my life and health! More

The people that work here are so kind and professional. Happy that I went there for my gum surgery. Thank you so much. More

My entire experience with Dr. Ghadri and his team was amazing. The check in and financial arrangements were very smooth and the gum surgery was painless. My recuperation went as planned and I appreciated the written instructions they gave me. I would go back again although I hope I don’t need surgery for a long time. More

I'm grateful I found Dr. Ghadri and his team. Two other periodontists told me there was nothing they could do to help my situation. Dr. Ghadri did gum grafting on all my lower teeth a little over a week ago and I'm already amazed at how good it looks! I will refer anyone I know to this periodontist because he is highly skilled and kind. More

I’ve had two gum grafting procedures done by Dr. Toloue and both went very smoothly. They are extremely efficient and thorough with both the initial consultation and the day of surgery. I was awake for both procedures and appreciated Dr. Toloue and the assistants telling me how far along in the process we were and how much longer it would be. They also checked in with me throughout the procedures. I had Brittany as an assistant during my first procedure and Thanh for my second and they were both awesome. Highly recommend Dr. Toloue and team for gum grafting! More

My dentist recommended Premier to get a gum grafting procedure done, and while it has been a rough recovery and healing process, Dr Hyun and Lourisa and their assistant, Jessica, handled the surgery with ease and got me in and out while being so kind in answering my many questions pre and post operation. They have been very attentive and supportive and quick to offer solutions when my body wasn’t responding the way it should. More

I am very anxious about getting dental work done and the thought of gum surgery had me really nervous. Dr. Dkeidek and his team put me at ease and made the whole process a breeze. I hope I never have to see them again but would go back if I do and highly recommend them. More

I went to Periodontics in Olympia for gum issues. Dr. Ghadri and his team are professional and polite. I underwent gum surgery for gingivitis. I was a little apprehensive about having this procedure, however, Liz my hygienist explained everything as she went along, and she made sure that I did not feel any pain. I knew I was in excellent hands. Thank you Dr. Ghadri and thank you Liz who went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and less nervous about having this procedure. More

The team at Premier Perio have given me excellent care of all kinds for the past several years! After some difficult prior dental experiences I’d neglected my teeth for several years. About 5 years ago I felt I couldn’t put it off any longer and despite my fears went to the dentist, complaining of soreness, bleeding gums and bad breath. He told me that while I had no cavities, my gums were in very sad shape and recommended Premier Perio. The PP team started me with the heavy duty deep scaling to clean out the deep pockets, one mouth quadrant at a time. Then Dr Ghadri did gum grafting in two places to improve and increase gum tissue. And last year I had laser treatment for a tooth that unexpectedly showed up with a super deep pocket and infection. Today I am on an every 3 months cleaning schedule and my mouth is in a very good place! I so appreciate and value the expertise and caring attitude of the Premier Perio team — I know I’m in great hands! More

Thank you Dr. Huynh-Ba and Surgical Assistant Brittany for all of your experience and care for my gum grafting procedures. Definitely not an easy procedure from an anxious patient standpoint but you made it so much more bearable. I’m pleased with the clearly positive results of the first procedure and and looking forward to the same healing of the second. Thanks to you and the whole office staff! More

I had gum graft surgery yesterday with Dr. Toloue and her team (Thanh & Brittany!). They were all so sweet and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole procedure. They gave me a cozy blanket, distracted me with funny stories (most of which I don’t remember thanks to the drugs), and it was over before I knew it. Appreciate it so much! More

Dr. Ghadri is fantastic! Helped me with a tricky dental situation, showing great skill with implants and gum disease. His work on implants was perfect, making them look so natural. Also, his gum disease treatment was effective and gentle. Really appreciated his clear explanations and compassionate approach. Highly recommend him for anyone needing specialized dental care in Olympia! More

I had Gum surgery at Premier Peridontics and couldn’t be happier. Dr Enghiad answered all my questions patiently and calmed my fears. Her team comprising of Surgical assistant Katrina and Admin Jade are awesome. The procedure was performed competently leading to expected recovery. More

My husband, Andrew, recently underwent gum grafting, and Linette, Tesla, and Dr. Toloue at Premier Periodontics provided outstanding care. We are both grateful for their exemplary service and highly recommend them to anyone needing periodontal care. More

It was a really nice experience I was treated really well By the Dr Toloue and the Surgical assistant Thanh they made an amazing job in my gum grafting! More

Absolutely the best dental experiences I've ever had. I had to have gum surgery and a tooth replaced and they worked expertly with my sensitivity to Lidocaine. The entire office staff is top notch and I will return for any future needs. A big 'Thank You!' to Dr. Issa Dkeidek, all of the assistants and front office staff! More

I had a tissue grafting that went so well! The surgery went smoothly & the tissue grafting and healing were so successful. I highly recommend Dr. Toloue and her staff. More

I had a good experience at Premier Periodontics, today. I went in for a consult, for gum grafting. Dr Toloue, and her medical assistant, Linette put me at ease during my appointment. They were kind, thorough, and addressed my concerns and questions. After my appointment, I spoke with Tesla in regards to the estimate for my procedure. She broke down the treatment plan for me in a way I could understand. I, also, didn’t feel pressured to make a decision on the spot. I appreciated her kindness, too! More

Dr. Toloue performed my gum surgery and she was excellent and I am happy with the results. The entire experience was seamless, I am thankful to her and her team for that! Pain was more like discomfort, minimal and manageable. I was pleasantly surprised that the palate of my mouth where the grafting was done did not hurt at all post-op, they did such a nice job patching it up! Very impressive work. More

Quick and easy follow up to gum surgery all went well. They saw me before my scheduled appointment time and were very thorough. More

I am so happy I went to Premiere Periodontics in Kirkland today because he said that I did not need gum surgery, when the other periodontist I went to a few months ago from a different company wanted to charge me $10,000 for gum surgery. I appreciate his honesty at Premier Periodontics to not do useless surgery. Also, I appreciate it that if I did have surgery at Premiere they would not put me out with drugs, but the other place said that the only way that they do surgery is by putting people out with drugs. More

So happy to have found Premier Periodontics after my previous periodontist retired. I just had laser surgery done by Dr. Huynh-Ba and his assistant Lourisa. Dr. Huynh-Ba checked on me frequently to make sure I was doing okay and not in any pain. Lourisa went over all the after surgery instruction with me which was quite helpful. She also called me the next day to see how I was doing. I've had invasive gum surgery treatment done in the past, the pain and recovery from laser surgery is like night and day compared to the non laser procedure. No pain or swelling after day two. All the staff are courteous and professional. More

I had an excellent experience with my gum graft surgery. I was treated by Dr. Huynh and Louisa. Both of them very nice and wanted to sure that everything was okay during the procedure. The post op has been great so far. More

I had a gum grafting procedure yesterday with Dr. Hyun and Assistant Lourisa. They were both professional yet very friendly and made an effort to make sure I was doing OK throughout the procedure. Plus it is Christmas time and there was Christmas music playing which was very relaxing! So far so good with recovery! These two make a great team! More

Dr. Hyundai and her assistant, Lourisa, did a superb job performing my gum surgery. Being very nervous of the unexpected, they explained my procedure thoroughly, and made sure I was comfortable and pain free. A very professional and compassionate team. More

Highly recommend Premier Periodontics (Bellevue)! I was a patient at the Bellevue office and underwent a dental gum grafting. Was somewhat anxious going into the surgery because I had heard stories from my friends who went through similar procedures. Dr. Issa and Svetlana did an excellent job of outlining the entire process and making me feel comfortable before, during, and after the procedure. Not only did the surgery and recovery go well, but I felt like I was literally a part of the Premier Periodontics family every time I stepped foot into that office. Everyone there is so over the top nice and welcoming; never thought I would feel sad leaving my last check up appt. More

I had a gum graft surgery here and I had an amazing experience. I’d like to thank my doctor Dr. Hyun for her outstanding skill, and Lourisa and Jordan for taking great care of me. Special kudos for the cleanliness of the environment, friendliness of the entire staff, and the end to end customer care. I cannot recommend Premier Periodontics enough! More

I highly recommend Premier Periodontics Everett and Kirkland! Dr. Hyun did my gum grafting. She is easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and very compassionate. Her assistant Lourisa is also excellent. She takes the time to explain everything and made me feel very comfortable. I have been to both offices and everyone is friendly and caring! They called me the day after surgery to see how I was doing and answer my questions. Very thorough! Thank you!! More

I had gum surgery on Thursday the 11th. Dr. Hyun and Lourisa were awesome. I highly recommend them. I was not looking forward to the surgery, but they put me at ease and were very informative and gentle! It certainly wasn’t as bad as I had imagined and very little pain! More

I had a lot of anxiety going into my gum grafting surgery because of previous experiences at another practice where I ended up with infections on two different occasions. The staff, Diana in particular, were very responsive to my concerns/anxiety which helped a lot. The care I received during the procedure was exceptional. I paid extra for the sedation, which was totally worth it. Because of my previous infections I was put on two antibiotics and I’m happy to report that I did not get an infection this time. Thank you to everyone involved in my care. More

I have a really positive experience every time I visit Premier Periodontics! From Diana at the front desk to Ariana who cleans my teeth to Dr. Ghadri, everyone is kind and professional. I had to have gum surgery last year, and they made it the best possible experience. I highly recommend them if you need periodontal care. More

This is a great place to have any dental work. I saw Dr. Hyun for my consultation to have gum grafting and her assistants Lydia, Lourisa, and Thomas all helped me overcome my fear of going in for surgery. More

I had a gum graft surgery with Dr Wattimena and his team. I couldn’t be happier with the results, their professionalism and care through the whole process. Everyone was so nice, specially Lydia. I recommend this place a 100%. More

I am very happy with my experience at Premier Periodontics in Everett. The staff were always kind and professional. I was never made to feel uncomfortable or unhappy during all of my appointments. I had a gum grafting procedure done with Dr. Wattimena and Lydia, which turned out amazing! The doctor and his staff made sure I knew what to expect for the procedure/recovery time and were happy to answer all of my questions/concerns. Overall, I would highly recommend this place! More

Highly impressed with Premier Periodontics from start to finish. I saw Dr. Toloue and could immediately tell she’s extremely skilled at what she does. She seems extremely confident and quickly gained my trust. Front desk was welcoming and kind as well as her dental assistant. I had gum grafting completed two days ago and I have not experienced any pain whatsoever. Highly recommend this office. More

Great staff!!! And very accommodating. Despite my anxiousness, the entire staff and especially Dr. Toloue put me at ease during, as well as following my gum grafting procedure. I found the team to be professional and kind. I'm very surprised about the previous reviews on billing. The treatment plan was clearly outlined. There are no hidden costs, insurance either pays or does not. Both scenarios were on there. And further the costs are reasonable; I've done my research. Implants, that are not "knock offs" are not cheap, do your self a favor and get the real deal. I actually look forward to addressing my implant with Dr. Toloue in the near future. More

In the past 11 years I have received dental implants, laser surgery and gum grafting services from Premier Periodontal Services. Doctors Madden, Ghadri and Gilbert are all exceptionally skilled and professional. I would not hesitate to return to them for services in the future or in referring them to others. Dr Ghadri recently did some surgical gum work for me and I was impressed with the skill, minimal discomfort and positive results that I have had from the surgery. He is exceptionally knowledgable in all things periodontal. I am very thankful that, now retired, Dr James Meyers referred me to Dr Madden in 2009. More

Dr. Hyun is extremely skilled and professional. My gum grafting procedure was pain free and recovery exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Dr. Hyun. More

Today Dr. Wattimena performed a gum grafting procedure for me, and it went extremely well! I get a little uptight during dental work, so I opted for their oral sedation, and it made all the difference. The entire staff at Premier Periodontics is kind, knowledgeable, and prepared. I have no pain at this time, but I will add an update in a few days. I think if I follow their post op instructions all will be fine. Brad R. More

Issa Dkeidek, DDS, MSD did a “crown lengthening” procedure around lower-left-back crown. My dentist referred me to them and set up the appointment, because my permanent crown is so shallow that the permanent cement doesn’t hold the crown in place for more than a few months. He & assistant Sadie spent a generous amount of time answering my questions, and explaining the procedure and the after care. Some of my questions related to medical issues, and my TMD which causes my jaw to lock open during some dental procedures, unless I’m given frequent opportunities to close my jaw. He removed some surface gum, then cut it away to access & remove 1-3mm height off the jaw bone. Stitched gum back in place. In six weeks or so once the gum is firm enough to resist pressure, my dentist will take a mold for a new crown that will be deeper inside, and then hopefully I will never have issues with that one permanent crown popping off frequently, especially when it’s a new replacement. Gums were not deep enough to do the simpler gingivectomy. Gentle, fast, calm, friendly and good listeners! More

Dr. Toloue did an outstanding job building up my daughter’s gums. The surgery wasn’t traumatic, the recovery was relatively easy and her gums look great. More

I recently had a periodontal graft surgery and, a few days out, I can barely tell I just had surgery! The staff was fantastic; both professional and knowledgeable. Dr. Toloue was quick, kind, and super skilled. I am very grateful for her great work and stellar team. Thank you! More

Dr. Toloue is knowledgeable, caring, and accessible! I called with some problems after gum surgery. I was seen quickly and the problem identified and remedied. Her office team is so friendly and efficient, too. This is a great practice! More

This is a long review, but I hope the detail I’ve included may help others who need periodontal work. It’s neither cheap nor fun, but when you need it, you are so much better off with a skilled and reputable practitioner. I give the highest recommendation Dr. Issa Dkeidek and his team – and please read on to discover why. Although I live in Upstate New York, I spend a lot of time in Washington State. My gums were bothering me (and my general dentist told me I would need gum surgery), so I found Premier Periodontics and made an appointment to see Dr. Dkeidek. First of all, he and his hygienist performed the most complete dental exam and cleaning I have ever had! I now feel bad seeing my dentist in New York, knowing that he and his staff could be doing so much more. However, as I expected, my gums needed work: a gum graft. I scheduled the procedure, and went in—accompanied by my considerable fear of dental work. But…what a pleasant surprise! The whole thing was as pain-free as I could ever hope for. For me, the injections of anesthetic into the gum tissue has always been the worst part of dental work, but somehow Dr. Dkeidek got around 20 small shots into the gums and I barely felt it. I think the combination of the topical anesthetic that was swabbed on first, plus his efficiency and skill, made this part of it so easy. And, since I was numb in all the right places, the actual taking of the graft from the roof of the mouth and stitching it to the gums was anticlimactic—the hardest part was just holding my mouth open. The whole thing was gentle yet efficient, and both he and his staff exhibited such friendly teamwork that I felt safe and relaxed to be in their capable hands. He prescribed pain medication to take, and, though I filled the prescriptions, I only needed a couple of ibuprofen on the second day. I made sure to follow the detailed guidelines they gave me (rinsing with salt water, no brushing around the site, etc), and never had any recovery problems. I have enjoyed pain-free, healthy gums since then. And, when I visited my NY dentist for my regular checkup, he invited the other doctors in his practice to come look at the grafts, because he felt they were so beautifully done. I guess you have to be another dentist to appreciate that kind of beauty! I hope I have no more serious dental problems, but if I do, I’ll wait until I am again in the Seattle area, and can see Dr. Dkeidek of Premier Periodontics. More

I was referred to Dr. Madden by my family dentist for gum recession and deep (and I do mean deep) scaling. It was necessary to follow up with gum grafting as well as excision of a deep pocket. The surgery was a breeze -- no complications -- and Dr. Madden called me that evening to check up on me. Tracy, the hygienist, is super, too. I see her routinely for follow-up periodontal care. Everyone in the office is fantastic. They feel like family. When my mother died they sent a sympathy card. I recommend Dr Madden and her staff wholeheartedly. More

I had gum grafting 2 1/2 days ago. After hearing and reading about pain and complications that could occur I was a bit concerned. Also, I have anxiety when people work on my mouth or throat, due to past medical conditions. She was great! While getting my procedure done she was training a new assistant, Rochelle, who was very nice and calming. I followed Dr. Madden's instructions and iced the area for the rest of the day, I even stayed in bed for an additional day to not be tempted to over do it. I have minimal swelling, and no bruising! I will be coming back to her for more of my much needed grafting. Thanks Dr. Madden! p.s. the name on this is wrong, my name is Karen J. Brown. More
