Welcome to Dahlke Orthodontics, where we provide patient-focused care that creates incredible oral health and beautiful smiles, every day! Along the way, we build wonderful relationships with our patients and they become members of our extended family. We look forward to their visits and the laughter they bring to our office.
Here, our focus is always on the patient were caring for; Dr. Kirk Dahlke sees every patient and makes an effort to speak with parents following every visit, to update them on the progress were making and answer any questions they might have. Our team members are equally devoted to our patients and make sure that every visit is a positive experience.
Helping our patients with their treatment, while we create their new smiles, and getting to know them and their families, are all things I love about my work. The exchanges I have with our patients, whether theyre an adult who wants to share the latest news they heard or read, or talk about their family and hobbies, or a younger patient who wants to fill me in on their latest adventures, are all wonderful. I assist Dr. Dahlke during patient procedures, providing him with the support he needs, but at the same time talking with the patient and making sure theyre comfortable and relaxed.
My husbands name is Gabriel and I have two children, daughter Alex and son Gabriel Jr. Our home is also shared with Coco and Fin, our family dogs and our kitty Rey. While I love spending time with my family, I also like venturing out to explore new places and things, like parks and antique shops.
My husband Curt and I have been married for 38 years; we have one daughter, Lacie and one very large cat, Max, who currently weighs 25-pounds! I love riding quads, going camping, and volunteering with the Feed the Hungry program at our church in Puyallup.
I welcome our new patients to the practice and introduce them to the wonder of orthodontics. I love creating relationships with our patients and their families, watching the transformations that happen as smiles develop, and then seeing the incredibly beautiful smiles once the braces are removed. As our practice manager, I make sure that everything here runs smoothly and that our team has everything they need to make your visit a good one. If you ever have any concerns, please come to me and Ill find a solution.
My husband, Michael, is serving active duty in the US Air Force. My fur babies, Riley and Remington, are Brittanys and I love their company. I enjoy keeping active and exploring all that Washington has to offer, from hiking to camping, to riding quads at the dunes.
I started here as a patient in 2015 and knew I wanted to be a part of this team. Seeing the transformations patients make with Orthodontic treatment is so rewarding. We are not only creating amazing smiles but happier people at the same time. I also attend our marketing events in the surrounding communities. If you see our Dahlke Orthodontics booth be sure to say hi!
My free time is spent with my husband David of 17 years who is retired from the US Army and our 3 teenage kids. I have 3 dogs Lola Bean, Ms. Pickles Beyonce and Wrigley who have me wrapped around their paws!! I grew up in Eastern WA, so we travel there to visit family often. I truly value the friendships I have made with patients and their families and look forward to meeting you!
Its a great feeling that my work allows me to help patients with their financial arrangements for the orthodontic care they need. Seeing the relief on a parents face, when we find a plan that works with their budget, because they know the difference that braces will make in their childs life, is so rewarding. I answer patients questions about their insurance benefits, am our practice's bookkeeper, and file our insurance claims, too. I keep busy, but Im never too busy for a chat!
I have adult children and several grandchildren, who live in the area, and I love spending time with them, doing my best to attend their soccer, baseball, and basketball games. I also enjoy golfing and traveling, and I bake fabulous bread for some of the local espresso stands. Ill bet youve even tried one of my creations!
I assist Dr. Dahlke and my teammates in creating our patients beautiful smiles. I enjoy building relationships with our patients and hearing about how their day went while helping them achieve the smile they always wanted. I assist Dr.Dahlke chairside, change wires, put braces on and take them off, provide oral hygiene instructions, and assist with sterilization.
I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, and road trips. My partner in crime is my dog Luna who is four years old and weighs six pounds. I have two daughters and two granddaughters. Summer is my favorite time of year because I love the sun but fall is the most beautiful time of year because I love the pretty colors of the trees, wearing boots and sweaters.
Hi my name is Sami and I am from Arizona!! I love the sun so Im not sure why Im in Washington state. I get to work with a bunch of ladies who are old enough to be my mom and I LOVE it. They take care of me and I keep them young!! I LOVE Justin Bieber and am waiting for the day he loves me back!
3. Community involvement - You may spot Dr. Dahlke and his family at one of the local schools - Our team members regularly run on Saturdays with Wear Blue Run to Remember - We volunteer yearly as an office at Santas Castle on JBLM
Once we start your orthodontic care, youll come in for regular visits. Well talk with you at each one about the progress were making in straightening your teeth and creating your new smile. Well also ask you how youre feeling about the treatment and if you have any concerns. Its important to us that you feel comfortable raising any issues with our team: we want orthodontia to be a positive time for you and if you have concerns, wed like to hear about them so we can get everything back on track.
Throughout your treatment, well be here for you. Our team is composed of friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable people who genuinely love what we do. What could be better than to spend ones days helping people we care about, watching their transformations in self-esteem and self-confidence as they see their new smile emerging? And the day the braces come off and you see that new smile of yours? Well be laughing and grinning right along with you. Youve put in hard work getting to that point and were so proud of you!

I needed to reschedule and then eventually cancel services, and they treated me with compassion and care regardless of the situation. I appreciated their kindness.

Dr. Dahlke and his staff blew me away! Everyone from the front desk to his assistants were absolutely amazing! Dr. Dahlke was extremely knowledgeable and you can tell he loves what he does and has a true passion for his profession. He walked me through every step of the procedure and answered all of my questions patiently. The front staff, Kristina and Claudia, were so welcoming and always greeted me with a smile. His assistant's Claudia, Alijah, and Christina were very gentle while working on me and made the time pass by so fast with their happy and upbeat conversations. I highly recommend this office and know you'll have a wonderful experience.

Last week was my final appointment with, Dahlke Orthodontics. I honestly have no complaints, prices are fair, staff is super friendly and interpersonal. Dr. Dahlke is a military veteran so he truly understands how to accommodate his military patients. Due to a deployment, I switched from Traditional Braces Treatment to Invisalign. I'm able to continue my treatment while away without any additional costs, or hidden fees! Words can't express my gratitude for the entire Dahlke Orthodontics staff. High reputable Orthodontics

Hands down the best ortho that I have ever met! I had so many issues with my smile that even celebrity Beverly Hills doctors could not help me. Little did I know that in a city of DuPont, Dr. Dahlke would be able to make my perfect smile dream come true. Thank you Dr. Dahlke for being a true professional!

Dr. Dahlke and his staff are extremely professional. They care enough to recognize your face and remember your name, which actually does means quite a bit. They treat their clients like they are a family, and they act like one too. You can tell when you walk in that this isn't just a job for them. As far as the dental work goes, it's flawless. Dr. Dahlke and his staff are extremely skilled in their crafts. I didn't run into many issues at all, and when I did, I was able to schedule a same day appointment. Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, they put you first, which most businesses can't do.

Had the greatest experience with these guys over the past couple years! Senior year of high school I got braces and everything went well, after a little more than a year I got them off and only needed the little permanent retainers on the back of my teeth (I sometimes forget they're there!). Then towards the end of my junior year of college I started to notice a gap forming in my front two teeth. I thought it was odd for a couple months, but I go to college out of state so I waited for my summer break to get it checked out. I show up and turns out I had broke the permanent retainer and never noticed! I only had couple weeks of break before I would have to leave Washington but Dr. Dahlke hooked me up with a few super easy invisible retainer type things that closed the gap, and I was able to get a new permanent retainer installed (not sure if installed it the right word haha) the day before I drove back to Colorado. Overall I've only had awesome experiences with these guys and they have always gone above and beyond when it comes to accommodating my schedule and any crazy situations I had!

I'm so grateful for Dr. Dahlke and his team. He went above and beyond to fix my upper teeth. I originally had gotten braces from another provider, and over a year my upper left teeth were completely jacked up. I was very fortunate to find Dr. Dahlke. From the get go, he listened to my concerns and he was willing to help me out. He and his entire team are very caring. Within a few weeks my upper teeth made a drastic improvement thanks to Dr. Dahlke. I can not recommend him highly enough, truly. The. Best. Doctor. I have ever met.
