I love building relationships with my patients and helping them achieve optimal oral health. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a patient who was afraid to show their teeth, smile again with confidence.I am passionate about helping people have the most positive dental experience possible.As a youth, going to the dentist gave me severe anxiety. Luckily for me, I had wonderful dentists who put me at ease. Now I want to give back and give my anxious patients a caring environment that helps them overcome their dental anxiety.
I attended University of Mo. Columbia for undergraduate school then continued on toUniversity of Mo. Kansas City School of Dentistry. I stay up to date by being involved withthe Interdisciplinary Study Group Northwest and the American Dental Association, both of which provide continuing education. I am also a member of the King County Dental Association and Washington State Dental Association.
My profession gives me the unique opportunity to help my patients and their children prevent future cavities. I am fortunate that in our practice there are many caring parents that are interested in learning how to prevent cavities in children. With parents as our partners in the prevention of early childhood caries (cavities), we can help a whole new generation of children enjoy better dental health.
I grew up in Fr. Leonard Wood, MO but have been in Bonney Lake, WA now for 12 years.If I am not at work, you will most likely find me volunteering at my children's' school. I love activities that allow me to be with my husband and two beautiful children.
At the core of our dental practice is a friendly team of professionals that are dedicated to your utmost comfort and optimal oral health. We view each patient as a unique individual, and tailor each treatment to your specific needs. As part of our commitment to providing close, personalized attention to every patient, we want to encourage patient communication. Please know that we are here to provide outstanding patient care, and that we value the trust you have placed in us.

This is an exceptional staff and Dr. Bell. I am no longer hesitant to go to the dentist as this team is so well organized. The dental assistant and the dental hygienist with Dr. Bell made my dental cleaning a breeze. No sore gums! :) Th Thank you team.

I called to cancel my appointment a day before and I was yelled at and told I need to pay $75 for canceling. The lady on the phone sounded very desperate for the money. Would not recommend this place due their unprofessional way of speaking to customers.

We waited 40 minutes before being called back for the appointment. Saw the hygienist right away who spent about 5 minutes cleaning my daughters mouth , we waited another 40 minutes to see the dentist. That also spent about 5 minutes looking in her mouth. They are not able to do children's cavities in the office and refer out to a children's center. The dentist is kind and good with children but we will not be back.

Thoroughly professional appointment! Intake staff were pleasant, accommodating and efficient. Dr. Bell is a bundle of energy, effervescent, and straightforward. Her familial connection to military service - across branches - is a big plus and comforting. Looking forward to the next possibilities in my treatment.

Melinda is always great. I have just learned Jamie's and Jessica's name. Both of them are great. The rest of the staff, it will take time to learn thier names, is wonderful also. I love Bell Family Dental clinic. I'm just sorry I heal so quickly. It makes my procedures more difficult on the staff. So sorry guys. Your patience is commendable. Love you guys.
