Our mission at the Lynnwood Song Dental Center is to provide our patients with the highest standard of dental care, which we work to achieve by providing personalized, affordable service in a safe, caring, nurturing, and stress-free environment.
We serve Lynnwood and the surrounding areas (Everett, Mill Creek, Mukilteo, Mountlake Terrace, Edmonds, Shoreline and Seattle) out of our convenient location off of Highway 99. It is here that you will find a spacious, modern facility staffed with courteous, caring professionals who are devoted to your comfort and security.
Strict infection control standards are maintained at all times; we not only practice the advanced sterilization protocols you deserve to expect out of a dental office, but we also decline to use city tap water. All of our dental equipment is fed with distilled water, the lines of which are disinfected continuously in order to assure you a higher-than-average standard of cleanliness. It is only in this way that we can fully achieve our goal of bringing you the very best in dental care.
Our dental office in Lynnwood offers ways to help our patients afford the dental care that is needed. We know that you want to maximize any insurance benefits you have and wind up with a good, affordable balance in the end. We therefore accept most insurance plans and offer dental financing options in order to help remove any remaining financial obstacles that may otherwise be preventing you from getting the care you need.

Having worked professionally as a dentist since 1992, Dr. Song is able to boast a rare and exceptional record of quality dental service that should keep your mind at ease and keep your smile bright.
Dr. Thomas C. Song earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Dentistry, in 1992. He then went on to pursue an advanced education in general practice residency and completed his postdoctoral training at the prestigious Naval Medical Center in San Diego, California. Through this training, Dr. Song was able to master an expanded knowledge of all facets of dentistry.
His Navy training took him on a six years of active duty service with the US Navy as a Naval Dental Officer, where he provided comprehensive dental care to our sailors and marines. He was awarded numerous academic, clinical and military service awards for his work, including two Navy Achievement Medals for clinical excellence and service above and beyond the call of duty. At the close of his military career, he left with the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
Even after the military, Dr. Songs education and training continued. In 1998, he earned the highly esteemed designation ofFellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD).The Academy of General Dentistry, an international organization of dentists with a mission of quality continuing dental education, sets high standards for excellence, and fellowship in this organization is an honor achieved by only 3% of dentists in the United States.
In the words of the AGD, aFAGD has been recognized by other dentists as a leader and an example to other dentists who are committed to quality patient care through continuing dental education. The AGD places emphasis on life-long continued dental education (above and beyond what is needed for basic state requirements for annual licensure.) Academy fellows are required to have earned a minimum of 500 hours of approved continuing dental education credits, pass a rigorous comprehensive exam, and serve as a member of the academy for at least three continuous years.
AGD members must also remain up-to-date with the latest advances in the profession. Dr. Song achieved his Fellowship only six years after graduating from dental school. If a dentist met only the state required 21 hours per year of continuing education, it would take a dentist nearly 24 years to achieve Fellowship status! It is Dr. Songs firm belief that the key to providing excellence in dentistry is continued education and keeping pace with the latest developments in modern dental technology.
