I love being a dentist! Every day I meet people from our diverse community, build relationships, and strengthen connections. Dentistry is more than fixing teeth: its caring for the whole person and partnering as they achieve their strongest, healthiest, most confident smile.
As a child, I was teased because of my teeth; I went through braces twice! These experiences developed into a passion and desire to help others be confident in their smile. I want people to be able to laugh and smile without feeling concerned about the appearance of their teeth and gums.
Whether Im taking care of a child at their first visit, improving an adults smile, or restoring function, Im making a difference. More personally rewarding are my relationships with patients. I learn a lot from our exchanges, as people talk about their lives, passions, and experiences. Their stories expand my world, making me a better dentist and a better human.
My team is the true strength of our practice. Each shares my commitment to deliver exceptional, personal care. They put patients first in all they do, whether its a gentle cleaning, ease of scheduling, or sorting out insurance. My team members are experienced professionals who are warm, friendly, and supportive. They are here to help and do so with many smiles.
We live in a time of constant advancements in dentistry. Continuing education (CE) is an essential part of my profession. I use CE to grow my skills and knowledge in areas that benefit my patients and our community, from pediatric techniques to cosmetic dentistry to oral surgery. My goal in pursuing CE is to ensure our patients receive the highest quality dental care, whatever their needs and desires.
I grew up in West Seattle and now live in Everett. I have a 4 year old daughterwho keeps mebusy!Being from the Pacific Northwest, I cant help but love to get outdoors, whether Im hiking, snowshoeing, or camping. Ilove to travel, and try to visit at least one new country every year.
The Arlington community is very important to me. To help support it, Ive been an active member of the Rotary Club for several years. The practice also supports the Arlington Food Bank through annual food drives and Tiffany and I support the Snohomish County Big Brothers Big Sisters organization.
Im a University of Washington Affiliate Faculty at UW Oral Medicine, where Im honored to mentor dental students offering dental care to underserved areas of Skagit County through their mobile clinic. I also volunteer with Serve Our Vets, providing dental care to our veterans.
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs.

Growing up in the Mill Creek and South Everett areas, I relocated to the Stanwood-Camano Island area in 1996, where I met my husband Scott and together raised our daughter AnnMarie.

This is a wonderful group of people to spend your days with.I have worked in general dentistry since 2005 and take pride in providing efficient and friendly service to every one of our patients.

I was born and raised in the PNW and now live in North Everett with my husband, daughter, and 4 beloved cats. We spend most of our time on the side of soccer fields watching our daughter play her heart out along with lots of traveling, home projects, and time spent with our close-knit family and friends.
Our Arlington, WA practice stays up-to-date with the latest technology in dental treatment including digital X-rays and oral cameras. This allows us to evaluate, diagnose, and explain your condition and treatment options most effectively. Digital X-rays are very efficient and deliver a lower dose of radiation, which maximizes your safety and comfort. Oral cameras capture information about your condition that may not be easy to see with traditional X-rays.
We tailor plans to meet an individuals dental needs/wants and financial restrictions. We strive to avoid ambiguity in cost and payment plans through thorough explanation. If a treatment plan is complex either in the steps needed or options available, we bring a patient in for a one-on-one meeting with Dr. Dickinson personally to ensure complete understanding. Patients with intensive treatment plans get a follow-up call to check in and answer any questions that may have arisen after treatment. Dr. Dickinson also encourages patients to contact him with any questions.
