We know that pediatric dental care is more than just cleanings, fillings, and other restorative work. Our team is the heart of our office, and they are here to make every child feel welcomed, comfortable, and safe. We take a communicative approach to kids dental care, which means that your child will understand every step of the process. Our goal is to empower children to take control of their dental health from a young age and foster positive hygiene habits that will last a lifetime!
Cascadia Kids Dentistry was built around quality, integrity and compassion. So weve recruited some of the most qualified, honest and compassionate dental professionals in the greater Seattle area. Our team of tiny-tooth experts understands that enthusiasm and friendship go a long way. And nothing makes us happier than maintaining a childs oral health while catching up on all their adventures during every visit!

Dr. Nick and his team are fantastic! They are friendly and really interact with the kids while they work which makes my kiddos feel more comfortable. The team is very fun, gentle, and patient as well which eases all the anxiety about going to the dentist. My kids now enjoy going to the dentist thanks to Dr. Nick and his team.

My kid's therapist recommend us Cascadia kids dentistry. We brought kids to do the cleaning and check last time, and pull the tooth yesterday. Their care team, Cher at the front desk, Melanie was assisting, and Dr. Hayley, were super professional and friendly. Help kids to relax and tell kids what they were doing in kids' way. So they can learn and not so afraid. Highly recommend!!

Our experience with Cascadia Kids Dentistry with my 2 year old daughter was amazing from start to finish. Everyone was super friendly and made her feel comfortable right away and we were able to get through a full cleaning and X-rays with ease and keeping a smile on her face.

This dentistry office is the best I've ever been to. The assistant and dentist were very patient and kind to my daughter who is afraid of the dentist and doctor. They explain everything to the children so that it doesn't scare them and have prizes after the apt to leave children with a positive feeling. Thank you so much to everyone at the office your all doing a great job I will be coming back for all my visits and recommending this place to others with kids.

The hygienist belittled my nervous 5 year old, who like a lot of people don't like going to the dentist. Way to further stigmatize the experience. Never going back. Terrible experience.

Absolutely satisfied with the professionalism, courtesy and care of the Dr and her staff. My nervous child came here for treatment and they made her feel confident, special and very well cared for. She left the office so proud of herself. Thank you, we will certainly be back.

Long review, but I actually had an experience here that won me over for life. I was referred to Dr. Nick by a family member. When my firstborn son was just 3 days old, I was told by the hospital lactation specialist that he most likely had what is called a tongue tie, which is why they believed I was not able to nurse very well. As a brand new mom, I was panicked and didn't know where to turn. I was given a referral of course from the hospital, but didn't feel great about it. I decided to take my 4 day old baby to see Dr. Nick. He got us in right away, and took great care of us. He listened to our story, examined my son, and showed us why he believed my son did not have a tongue tie. I could tell that he genuinely cared. After understanding that there was no physical reason why I was having trouble nursing, I felt calm. Per Dr. Nick's suggestion, I took some pressure off myself, and was able to nurse with no issues a short time later. I now have 2 kids, and we have been going to Cascadia Kids ever since. Always a great experience. As a parent, I leave feeling educated about the oral health of my kids.

Dr Nick and his team at the issaquah and maple valley location are amazing. My kids had a fear of the dentist until we saw Dr Nick. He is so patient and connects with the kids. You talks them through everything. Highly recommend them

Dr. Nick and team do an incredible job making our girls feel comfortable and even enjoy their dentist appointments. Our 2 year old gets particularly nervous and they are so patient and skilled at making her feel at ease. I've been recommending Cascadia Kids Dentistry to all my friends because of what a fantastic experience we've had.

My 8 and 5 year old daughters have been going to this dentistry since they were 3, starting with Dr Woo and now Dr Nick. The facility, doctors, and the staff are all amazing. I love chatting with Cher who works at the front desk. She is very professional and knowledgeable about your insurance. They offer movies for kids to watch during the appointment (where the TV is mounted at the ceiling) and goodies to pick out at the end of the appointment. My girls really feel relaxed, comfortable and welcome in this dentistry, and even look forward to their visit! Covid measures are clear and well followed, e.g. one family appointment at any given time. The appointments have always been done very efficiently as they are prepared and you can just go right in. I highly recommend this dentistry to any family!

Dr Nick has a great way with kids. My 11 year old had to have 2 teeth pulled and Dr Nick did a wonderful job explaining the process and calming her to ensure it was as quick and painless as possible.

The staffs are so friendly. We were assisted by Cece and Dr. Nick. They made sure my 3yo daughter is comfortable the entire procedure. She enjoyed her 1st dental check-up.

We took our 2 yr old to Dr. Nick for his first ever dentist appointment ,with literally no expectations of being educated on oral health of children so well and in such a simplistic way. Its amazing when doctors value patient's time and arrive for appointments right on time !! We are surely coming back again to this wonderful doctor ,as and when required !!
