After 20 years of being at our previous downtown location, it was time to relocate to a quieter neighborhood with an abundance of street parking, great restaurants, and relaxed vibe with a more residential feel. Along with our move, we have welcomed Dr. McAninley to our practice which will allow us to see patients who need a primary, family dentist as Dr. Pawlowski continues to serve our patients for periodontal services and implants.
We are a full-service dental office that features both family general dentists and board certified periodontal specialists. Rather than one dentist who exists in both worlds, Doctors Suzanna McAninley, Donna Helmich, Betsy Mosquera and Adrian Pawlowski have come together to offer you a complete option for your dental health. From preventative care to dental surgeries, our team here at Bell Harbour Dental is committed to providing you with a positive and comfortable experience while helping you to achieve your healthiest dream smile.
Dr. Pawlowski had 16 years in the field of general dentistry before going back to school at the University of Washington to receive specialist training in periodontal surgery and the treatment of gum disease. As a leader in the field of implant dentistry and gum grafts, he specializes in placing implants in different tissues and bone levels, providing you perfectly placed implants with proper gum aesthetics and the bone strength to keep it solid for the rest of your life. He is also known for taking on the tough cases of remediating failed implants that were placed elsewhere. For more info on Dr. Pawlowskis services, or education on periodontics, please visit our Patient Services Page.
Dr. McAninleyis extremely caring and is diligent to incorporate her patients personal values into their dental experience. She values patient education and seeks to empower your participation in the management of your own treatment plans with specific accord to your goals and concerns.

It is extremely important to us that we are supportive and participating members within our Seattle dental community. The last thing we would want to do is to take patients from other dentists. We have many referring doctors whose patients come to us for periodontal treatment while returning to them for restorative care. We value our relationships with those doctors highly and pledge our commitment in supporting the continuation of those relationships in the best way that we can. Seattle dentists we are here with you!
Dr. Adrian P. Pawlowski has been practicing in the field of dentistry since 1978. In addition to his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree he holds a Masters in Dental Science (MSD) and a specialty certificate in periodontics. He is a diplomat of the American Board of Periodontology and maintains certification in the most modern conscious sedation techniques and advanced cardiovascular life support.
Over the years Dr. Pawlowskis main specialty has been in the surgical placement of dental implants. Experience is key when choosing a healthcare professional and Dr. Pawlowski has placed well-over 3500 implants in his extensive career. He is simultaneously renowned for innovative techniques and extremely successful outcomes of gum and bone grafting procedures. In his periodontal practice Dr. Pawlowski emphasizes the value of preventative measures towards gum disease, which is the leading cause of tooth loss.
My goal as a periodontist is to provide comprehensive treatment while educating my patients about the importance of good lifestyle choices for the health of their mouth. I think it is also very important to keep free and open communication between our office, patients and their general dentists. I love what I do because by saving teeth and the supporting structure around them I witness incredible improvements in my patients quality of life.
Dr. Suzanna McAninley was born and raised in sunny Florida, where her family still lives. She is a triple alumnus of the University of Florida, having attended for her undergraduate, graduate and dental studies. Dr. McAninley received a Bachelors of Science in Nutritional Sciences in 2008 as well as a Masters of Science in Nutritional Sciences in 2011. She returned to the University of Florida for dental school, earning her D.M.D. degree in 2016.
Dr. McAninleys interest in dentistry began at a young age and continued into high school where she worked after school and during the summers as a dental assistant for a local Periodontist. She enjoys helping patients achieve their dental goals and staying pain free! Once a year, Dr. McAninley volunteers at the local Seattle King County Dental Clinic providing a weekend of free dental services to the community.
Dr. McAninley and her husband Jason have recently decided to take a one year sabbatical and travel around the United States with their Golden Retriever, Harper. They purchased and built out a Ford Transit that they will be traveling in! Dr. McAninley and her family will be spending most of their time hiking, rock climbing and exploring the US. They will also be spending a large portion of time with family and friends.

I recently came to Bell Harbour dental for a check up and a cleaning and I had the best appointment. Melissa, my hygienist, has such a soft and gentle touch - even when measuring my "pockets" which I typically hate. I was able to relax in what can often be an anxious situation. She is very knowledgeable and thorough, and took the time to explain to me what I could do to improve my health without making me feel any shame. My teeth felt so smooth and clean afterwards, I love that feeling. I highly recommend Melissa and the whole team at BHD!

Happy to corroborate the other recent reviews highlighting Anna, she's great. Very gentle, explains everything well and is very nice. But she's not alone. Reception was great and Dr. Mosquera was delightful and informative. Like many, I get anxious going to dental appointments. I've gotten better, thinking of it as a tooth spa day helps, but experiences like Bell Harbour are what really help ease the nerves.

I really love this place. Doctor Natalia checked me my teeth and Anna cleaned my teeth. Dora did x-ray. Everything is so gentle, nice. Makes me so comfortable and relax. Previous I had a bad experience in other places and usually they made my teeth bleeding. This time in harbor dental, no bleeding. Made me not scare of visiting dental doctor any more!!! Love this place so much!!

I have bad dental anxiety due to a traumatic dental experience from my childhood. I went in for my bi-annual dental cleaning. Anna was so wonderful. She made me feel extremely comfortable and was so very gentle throughout the appointment. Thank you, Anna!

Dr.Cameron made my EXTREME dental fear come to a calm today. I felt heard, understood and fully taken care of and was very patient. I didn't think I was leaving the office with my cavity filled. But, he made sure I did, with complete ease. He also kindly adjusted my night guard at the end of my appointment with even being short on appointment time. What a wonderful experience! I'd highly recommend to anyone !

Had great experience with the dentist but the nurse/assistant looked grossly incompetent. They kept taking X-rays and kept telling me "that's a good picture" only to redo them at least 4 times (for each angle) which was not convenient.

I haven't been to Bell Harbour but Dr. Donna Helmich was our family dentist in Minnesota for many years. My boys loved her and she was the best. You are lucky to have her! If you have the chance to see Dr. Helmich, you won't regret it. She took care of my boys, made sure they saw the proper orthodontist & all that goes with that care, understood my own dental care needs as a person with congenital heart issues, and was an all around wonderful dentist. Bonus: I did not have to bribe my boys to go to their dental appointments - they genuinely liked going. We miss her terribly but happy she had the opportunity to be near family.

Best and least painful dental experience I've ever had. Natalia has some really clever tricks for managing needle phobia and testing for pain sensitivity before doing anything that might hurt.

New to the area and this was only my second visit to this location. Their procedures will take a little getting used to as I was with another dentist, in different state, for over 20 years. The staff here is very personable and friendly. Being only my second visit, I did find it a little odd that the Dr. did not come in and spend a few minutes looking at what was done or to see if I had any questions. Maybe they do this every other visit in this state? Either way, I'll continue to see this dentist as I have no issues and teeth feel good.
