Welcome to Northshore Dental

Northshore Dental has looked after families from the same NE 181st Street office since 2001, and the practice goes back further still: Dr. Karen Bennett joined in 1996, and Dr. Alexa Kirkland took over the lead role in 2016.

Dr. Kirkland, Dr. Bennett, and Dr. Trang Huynh are general dentists, and between them they handle preventive visits, fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, implant restorations, veneers, whitening, and extractions. Most of what a family needs is done here rather than referred out, and when a case genuinely calls for a surgeon we will tell you that directly.

We build in enough chair time to explain what we found, what your choices are, and what each one costs before treatment starts. If dental visits make you anxious, mention it when you book so we can plan the appointment around it.

Broken tooth, lost crown, or dental pain?

Call (425) 486-6511 as early in the day as you can so we can look at the schedule and tell you honestly whether you need to be seen today. For a knocked-out permanent tooth, keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva and call right away. If you have facial swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, go to an emergency room rather than waiting for a dental appointment.
