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.

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!

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.
