Your Kirkland general dentist for everyday care

As your Kirkland general dentist, we focus on keeping your smile healthy and avoiding bigger treatments

all with gentle and high-quality care

Consistent care to keep you smiling

Cleanings and exams

Routine cleanings remove plaque and buildup that brushing alone can’t reach, helping keep your teeth and gums healthy. During your exam, we check for early signs of decay, gum issues, and other concerns so we can catch problems before they turn into something more involved.

Fillings and early treatment

If we find a cavity or early issue, we can treat it right away with tooth-colored fillings that blend naturally with your smile. Taking care of small problems early helps you avoid more complex treatments later and keeps your teeth strong.

Preventive treatments that protect your smile

Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and make your teeth more resistant to decay. Sealants add an extra layer of protection, especially in hard-to-clean areas, helping prevent cavities before they start.

Gentle care for kids

Our “happy visits” are designed to help kids feel comfortable from the start. These visits focus on simple exams, gentle cleanings, and education, so children can build trust and feel confident coming back as they grow.

Tooth extractions

When a tooth can’t be saved or is causing problems, we’ll explain why an extraction may be the best next step. We offer tooth extractions, including wisdom tooth removal, with a focus on comfort, clear guidance, and helping you heal smoothly afterward.

Root canals

A root canal can help save a tooth that is infected or badly damaged, often relieving pain and preventing the need for an extraction. We’ll walk you through what’s happening, keep you comfortable, and restore the tooth so it can keep functioning.

Dental crowns

Dental crowns restore teeth that are cracked, worn, weakened, or treated with a root canal. We offer natural-looking materials like porcelain, e.max, and zirconia to protect your tooth and help your smile feel strong again.

Common issues we help with

Tooth pain or sensitivity

If your teeth hurt when you eat, drink, or brush, it could be a sign of decay, worn enamel, or another issue we can treat early.

Bleeding or swollen gums

Gums that bleed or feel tender may be an early sign of gum disease. With the right care, we can help get things back to a healthy state.

Cavities or early tooth damage

Small cavities are common and easy to treat when caught early. We use tooth-colored fillings to restore your tooth and prevent further damage.

Buildup or staining on your teeth

Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to decay and gum issues over time. Regular cleanings help remove buildup and keep your smile looking and feeling fresh.

It’s been a while since your last visit

Even if nothing feels wrong, regular exams help us catch things early and keep your dental health on track.

We give our best — and our patients give us the kindest words!

“I have no words to describe how grateful I am for Dr. Wang and Brenda. I have struggled with dental anxiety for years. All of that changed the minute I stepped into this office. They didn’t just care for my teeth—they cared for me, and showed compassion every step of the way.”

Ishara P.

“As always, my experience was excellent. In fact, I can’t think of a thing that could have been better. Dr. Trinh is always great, and I always request Brittany for a reason. I have never had anything but positive experiences with everyone at Totem Lake Dental.”

“The whole team at Totem Lake Dental is fabulous! As a new patient, they were able to fit me in for a big procedure. I have major dental anxiety, but their calm and caring staff has been so helpful and reassuring. The office is very comfortable and inviting. I will be coming back!”

FAQs

Curious about your care? We’re here to help

How often should I come in for a cleaning?

Most patients come in every six months, but it depends on your needs. If you’re more prone to buildup or gum issues, your Kirkland general dentist may recommend more frequent visits to keep things on track.

What happens during a routine exam?

We check your teeth, gums, and overall oral health, looking for early signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. If we see anything, we’ll explain it clearly and talk through the next steps.

Do cleanings hurt?

We strive to make cleanings thorough and comfortable. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, let us know, and we’ll adjust your care to make the experience easier for you.

What if I haven’t been to the dentist in years?

That’s okay. We’ll start with a simple exam and go from there. No judgment, just a clear plan to help you get back on track at your own pace.

Can you treat issues the same day you find them?

In many cases, yes. If we find something like a cavity, we can often take care of it right away or schedule it soon after, depending on your preference.
