I grew up primarily in Southern California, spending most of my time at the beach. I loved to paint and draw and worked as a graphic designer both in high school and then in college at BYU in Utah. Eventually, I changed course and pursued dentistry, which took me to Indiana University to get my DDS degree.
After working for several years as a graphic designer, I realized that dentistry was a better fit. I love the people I get to associate with every day. That includes both my patients and incredible team!
Im married to the love of my life, and we have two boys. I still enjoy spending time at the beach or in the ocean, but I equally love spending time in the mountains and on trails. I play the guitar and the piano and adore just about any kind of music.
Most of my time these days is spent playing with my two boys building Legos, building forts, or exploring parks and trails around the Pacific NW. I love to play music, and when I can find the time, I still like to make it out to live concerts.
Let me start off by saying I am phobic of dentists just so you can feel the impact of this review.I had an extremely amazing experience! I haven't been to a dentist for 4 years because of my phobia. Not once did they shame me for taking so long to come back to see a dentist. They didn't shame me because my mental health doesn't always mean I can brush my teeth regularly, they actually showed concern and wanted to make sure I was getting the help I needed. They explained all the work I needed to get done in a friendly and calm way. Explained payment plans and that it was okay to spread out the treatments and I was just relieved. I've never once left the dentist with a smile on my face and I was legit happy.Also the staff are some of the nicest people ever! They were all amazing!
Dr. Eggert and his whole team at Ballard Dental Arts are amazing. I have been coming here for about 2 years. I have moved around a lot over the years and find that this is the best dental company I have ever been to. Out of the doctors I see in Seattle, Dr. Eggert and his dental hygienist are the best. Everyone I have seen there are so friendly and awesome.
My experience here has been great. When I go for regular cleaning, Jenni does a great and thorough job with cleaning my teeth. I have sensitivity in some areas of my teeth but she always does her best to make it as pain-free as possible. She is professional and friendly and I always leave with my teeth feeling great!
I spend summers in Seattle and don't have a regular dentist here. Had a dental emergency and they got me in, treated me with compassion and kindness, did a superb job. Office is super clean, staff super competent and so nice. Much appreciated!
Dr. Rowe and her team (entire office) did an amazing job fixing my crown. Going to the dentist isn't the most enjoyable experience but they did their best to make it one. I highly recommend her and her team to take care of you.
I loved the experience and how kind the staff are. One of the staff Tinker was so nice when filling my cavity and shaping the filling to look like a tooth again. Out of the other dentistries I've been to this is the best in my opinion out of all of them.
I was recommended to Ballard Dental Arts by a friend when I had just moved back to the area about a year ago and I'm so happy to have found them. Not only is the office convenient to me & their office has early hours, the whole staff is so friendly, the office is super clean (their COVID precautions are great - you wait in the car and text to check in, then they call you), their billing is super straightforward and simple, and they are very accommodating in scheduling. I've seen Dr. Rowe and she's excellent, Phuong was my Hygienist this AM and was so helpful, so patient and kind. I have terrible anxiety about going to the dentist and Ballard Dental Arts makes me feel so comfortable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist.
I had my first visit this week for a regular check-up and cleaning. I was very impressed! Clients wait outside/in their car until the staff call for you so there isn't a crowd in the waiting area. The office was immaculate. The bathroom was spacious enough for someone using a wheelchair. Staff were knowledgeable and courteous. They answered all my questions. Shout out to Orie, my dental assistant, Phoung, my hygienist, and my dentist, Dr. Rowe. Thank you for the excellent care!
I started going to Ballard Dental Arts based on a friend's referral, and I'm so glad I did. It is clean, bright and airy, the front desk staff are kind and extremely helpful, and I love my hygienist. Even after I moved out of Ballard I kept going because of how great they are. Can't say enough good things.
I had the best experience in a dental clinic of my life at Ballard Dental Arts. Dr. Eggert and the staff were exceptionally professional and helpful. I would highly recommend Ballard Dental Arts to anyone needing dental care.
I love this place, it had been a while sense I had been to the dentist so I was a bit hesitant to go but once I got there they made me feel right at home. I didn't feel judged and was treated with the up most respect. I would highly recommend them, and staff are all very friendly.
Have been very pleased with Ballard Dental Arts. I'm happy that Ginny has been my Dental Hygienist for many years & I've found Dr. Tobler - who acquired the practice relatively recently - to be thorough, knowledgeable, attentive and congenial.
Going to the dentist is NOT something people look forward to! But the team here is so delightful and really makes it a better experience. Siri is the best hygienist and is so sweet - she makes this chore no one looks forward to actually enjoyable.The front desk staff is always friendly and helpful and Dr Tobler is such a patient, nice doctor. I cant recommend this practice enough!
Lovely facility with great people. I've been going to Ginny (Virginia) for years and she is always warm, conscientious, and professional. I love going to her for my cleanings.I had more extensive work done today by Melissa and Dr. Eggert and they were frequently checking to see that I was comfortable as well as informed about what they were doing each step of the way. They each have a gentle touch and did beautiful work.
I came in 2 weeks ago and saw Dr. Eggert for help with my teeth. I had lost a temporary tooth for 2 teeth and needed something for it. He explained that the roots and 1 front tooth needed to be pulled. He went ahead with it and he and his assistant Melaine were so kind and understanding with me. I was not expecting to have teeth pulled but they were wonderful. The front office too was very kind also. They said that they would make things right with me meaning that I would leave with something to replace my pulled teeth. I am so happy that I found this clinic and would recommend them to everyone who needed a dentist. Thank you for everything you have done for me and in the future too. Cindy Brighton
I'm always wary after a lifetime of extensive dental work with a new dentist but they have proven themselves at Ballard Dental Arts to be top-notch! And, as they know, I'm picky!Dr. Tobler and all of his staff members have demonstrated their expertise, professionalism, passion and talent for their vocation over a of time. I would absolutely recommend their services for all your family and individual needs!
Ive been coming to Ballard Dental Arts for 4 years now. The dental hygienists are knowledgeable, friendly and so good to my teeth. Any issue Ive encountered with my teeth has been promptly and professionally addressed, and I appreciate that they consult me on my input regarding a procedure. The staff is friendly and professional and theres a wonderful comradary among them - they truly operate as a team. I cant recommend Ballard Dental Arts (and Jenny and Dr. Tobler) highly enough!
I've had problems with my teeth for years and have always been embarrassed to smile. I went to a couple of dentists to get an estimate for the work I needed and Ballard Dental Arts was very reasonable (one place quoted me twice what BDA did). They made me feel super comfortable, did a great job of explaining options and really did an amazing job. I can't say enough about how happy I am with the job Dr. Kiefer and the staff did. It's really the best experience I've ever had with a dentist.
Ill start by saying I found this dental group from google reviews and my insurance website when moving to the area recently-Top notch experience all around. The admin and reception team is on point and easy to coordinate and communicate with. They are aware of their patient's notes and needs when made clear to them. The hygienists are super friendly and welcoming, always making sure you are informed and have questions answered, and really make sure you are comfortable and at ease. Great at communicating with the patient before and after doctor examination.I have worked with Dr. Tobler and he is just so down to earth and kind. Gave me good notes and information about my teeth without being preachy or judgmental. When I had time restraints because of insurance passing they were beyond accommodating to make sure I got the services I needed.
My first visit was amazing. They really get to you know you and listen. My hygienist was awesome. Very thorough and explained everything. The Dentist didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. I highly recommend this dental office.
I've been going to Ballard Dental for a long time, before the fancy face lift. They have maintained their excellent service and two dental hygienists I've seen Jenni and Lea, are spectacular. Gentle, thorough and really chill. The dr.is also pretty cool, high energy and happy dude. Spotless, lovely offices and efficient scheduling. Need a new place to get your choppers worked on? This is your joint.
Dr. Tobler and dental assistant Melissa were fantastic during my recent procedure. Their communication throughout was fantastic and they made sure I was comfortable. The office is new and clean and the entire team there is professional.
When I first went to these Ballard Dental Arts I was scared because I hadn't been to the dentist in a long time. They really took care of me always making sure i was comfortable and didnt feel a thing they really make it feel like they are your friend and they were there to help these guys are amazing at what they do. friendly to boot. Word of advice everybody listen to your dentist you know what they're talking about! LOL
I have been coming to Dr Wiley and his team for 15 years. They are capable, professional and friendly. The work on my teeth has been top notch; I have never had a problem or had to return to have work fixed. I like the fact that Dr Wiley has had the same staff for a long time- the sign of a good team. Tinker and Lisa always treat me like a valued customer.
I had 2 cavities treated yesterday by Dr. Wiley and his technician Karen Tinker. This professional combo of Dr. Wiley and Tinker is the best! Both of them performed the procedure with Dr. W. doing the drilling and Karen then placing the fillings. They both discussed the final stage and I was on my way. The latest technologies are used and the mood is set as calm, friendly, and pleasant from the first moment I arrived through the entire procedure.I cannot say enough great things about Ballard Dental Arts. My doctor Jack, Karen at his side, and Lisa at the front office. Virginia (Ginny) is and has been my dental hygienist for years under Dr. Wiley. Love her!!! - Thank you folks!KP Snyder
I really like Dr. Tobler and the staff at Ballard Dental Arts. They do great work and are always friendly and flexible with scheduling. Ive been a patient for about a year now and have been happy with my cleanings, and about as satisfied as I could be with a recent root canal and another extraction. A lot less pain than when I had a similar root canal done by a fancy specialist in LA. Dr. Tobler is very attentive and transparent, which helps if youre anxious like me when it comes to anything dental. Hes also very efficient and you can tell his work is top notch. Highly recommend.
Truly great service and care by their entire team of professionals. Everyone gives fantastic customer service, from the front desk staff, to the hygienists and the dentists. I'm very happy I found them!
Have been visiting this clinic since the previous owner. The remodel is a nice touch. Really the main reason that I keep coming back is for my hygienist Jenny. I've spent alot of time in the dentist chair getting my mouth repaired from my heads seemingly magnetic attraction to concrete. Definitely have built up enough hesitation to not want to go to the dentist but Jenny has made it really easy for me..to the point where I really look forward to my visits. Last time I was in Siri was covering for Jenny which definitely had me worried but guess what, Siri was just as amazing! Couldn't believe it. Really great folks here, highly recommend checking them out.
I've had to do several months of fillings and Dr Wiley has been delightful the entire time. He's very skilled and kind. The office staff is wonderful. I've had a couple issues with billing and they've gone above and beyond to be helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this office.
Ballard Dental Arts has provided me and my wife many years of wonderful dental care. The dental work has been superb. Jenni is particularly efficient and compassionate. Chris is very friendly, professional, and always on top of things. They consistently offer the highest quality of care.
I have been going to Dr. Dean for over a year and love him and his staff. They go the extra mile for you and are so kind and knowledgeable. He is always informing me of what he is going to do before he does it.I recommend them to anyone.Thank you Dr. Dean and staff!
I grew up in New York and went to college in Maine. While there, I met my wife who is originally from Vancouver B.C. Seattle was the perfect place for us to settle and start our family. We love it here!
Prior to private practice, I was the lead dentist at a public health clinic. I continue to work one day a week in the community clinic as I enjoy providing treatment to this high risk and underserved population.
After graduating from dental school, I moved to Seattle to complete a year of advanced training in hospital dentistry at the University of Washington, where I gained experience treating patients with medical complications, children, and patients with severe dental anxiety. During my time at UW, I fell in love with the Pacific Northwest, and have been practicing in the area ever since.
I chose dentistry because I love the combination of art and science that we use in restoring teeth to make them esthetic and functional at the same time. I love that I can use a gentle, hands-on approach to take patients out of pain and improve their self-confidence.
I also love the teaching aspect of dentistry that allows me to advise patients on the best way to care for their specific dental conditions and enjoy the foods and lifestyle they like while maintaining a beautiful, happy, healthy smile.
As she loves staying active, Dr. Rowe enjoys hiking, swimming, and yoga. She also loves to travel, and was one of 10 students in her class selected to represent the UCLA School of Dentistry as an ambassador to Japanese universities in 2014. She hopes to continue to explore a little more of the world each year.
My goal is to make patients experience in the dental chair as comfortable and easy as possible. I encourage questions about dental treatment and work together with patients to come up with a treatment and maintenance plan that is best suited for each patients unique conditions.
My philosophy is to help patients reach a point where they need as little dental treatment as possible by educating them on the causes of tooth decay and periodontal disease, and focusing on prevention both at home and in the office.
As an Expanded Functions Dental Auxiliary (EFDA), I am the one who will take your impressions. I have more than 25 years of dental experience since graduating from Spokane Community College with a certificate in Dental Assisting. In 2016, I returned to school to train for my EFDA license, and since receiving my license, I have worked with all of our dentists.
I love all of the assisting team here at Ballard Dental Arts and enjoy working with our expert dentists too. I really enjoy being creative and restoring teeth to their optimal state. But my favorite thing is to catch up with my patients and chat about their lives. As a positive and fun person, I love to build strong relationships and help patients enjoy their visit.
Away from the office, I enjoy hiking, exercise, traveling, and spending time with my wonderful family. My kids and my grandkids are my inspiration as I see them overcome their own challenges every day.
I have been a dental assistant since 1999 and originally started in Endodontics, which I did for more than 18 years. After a while, I realized I wanted something more and found the MOST awesome place, Ballard Dental Arts!
As an assistant, I get to work with amazing people and have found the saying, your environment makes you to be extremely true. The people around me constantly make me better and provide the best support.
I am originally from Massachusetts but moved to the west coast in 1979, which is when I began my dental career as a receptionist and then assistant. I moved to Seattle in 1983 and graduated from Shoreline Community College in Dental Hygiene in 1998.
I absolutely love my position as a dental hygienist because I get to educate patients and help them achieve good health. I feel so close to my patients and love to hear about their lives and have bonded with so many. I also love working at Ballard Dental Arts with all our quality team. We have a great, supportive team, and I feel fortunate to be working with them.
Working in the dental field is so rewarding because I can educate the patient about the importance of good oral care and see the effects of their good work with subsequent dental visits.I love meeting new patients, and they quickly start to feel like family.
I live in Forest Park with my husband and daughter. I really enjoy living near Seattle and the various seasons it has. I obtained an Associate Degree from North Seattle Community College in 2006 and graduated the Dental Hygiene Program in Seattle Central Community College in 2008.
I chose dentistry because I have a lot of siblings in the medical field and wanted to explore something new in healthcare. I found dentistry and love to help people save their teeth. In fact, the best part of my job is helping patients change their dental health for the better through improvements over time.
