My commitment to the Northwest spans my entire life. A native of Kingston, I developed an early affection for everything our unique corner of the world offers. After obtaining my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Washington in 2003, I gained acceptance at one of the nations top dental schools on the same campus. I earned a Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree from UW School of Dentistry in 2007.

After working in several community clinics, I found a perfect fit in Burien when I joined Dr. Craig in 2008. We enjoyed a dynamic working relationship until Dr. Craigs retirement eleven years later, and I consider him a friend and mentor. The practices tradition of warm, personal service continues today with recent innovative updates to provide the ultimate patient experience.

Continuous improvement marks my journey, including dedication to world-class workshops at the Kois Center in Seattle. Advanced training in CAD-CAM, implant-supported dentistry, soft tissue laser care, and metal-free orthodontics are just a few of my ongoing educational pursuits. Im humbled to be chosen a Seattle Met Top Dentist every year since 2014, and I will continue to develop the best skills for my patients.

I married the love of my life, Rachel, in 2017, and we enjoy living in Normandy Park with our labradoodle, Wally. In fact, Wally often comes to the dental practice and many patients look for him: He even boasts a Facebook following. An avid sports fan, I love supporting the Seahawks, Mariners, and University of Washington teams. I also keep active by playing softball, boating, and snow skiing. Rachel and I like to travel, attend concerts, and try new restaurants, so be sure to bring your best tips to share!

Its my honor to serve our area and develop relationships with so many special people and colleagues. Our team supports many events and activities in the Burien community, and I look forward to partnering with more local organizations over time. Our team has sponsored a wide variety of causes including the Burien Pride Festival and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through the Big Climb. Im also an annual contributor to the Highline School District Scholar-Athlete Scholarship. Its my pleasure to support our dynamic community!

Born and raised in Washington, Lacey finds relaxation in the great outdoors of the Pacific Northwest. She enjoys hiking, concerts, and traveling. In fact, dream destinations on her list include Bora Bora and Ireland!

Jana provides exceptional support to patients so they can experience the dentistry they deserve. An expert in dental insurance, she goes the extra mile to ensure patients receive the maximum from their benefits. She puts her heart into every task, and patients appreciate her willingness to go to bat for them.

Pamela ventured to the lower 48 after growing up in Alaska. She adores her team and loves serving her loyal patients. Pamela especially likes teaching her patients healthy habits, and she loves listening to their stories and learning from them.

When shes out and about in the community, she enjoys bumping into patients who stop to say hello. She gets a kick out of them telling those theyre with things like, This is my dental hygienist: She helped me become a regular flosser!

Tildy came up to us from way down under: Wollongong (south of Sydney), Australia. Tildy loves meeting new people, making connections, finding common interests, and helping others achieve excellent oral health. But she believes the most significant difference a person can do to improve their oral health is establishing consistent habits at home.

Jessica and her husband, Evan, stay busy with their two silly boys, Emmett and Logan, and two goofy pups. Vacations that include amazing food, settings, and people mean a lot to her. Jessica also likes taking in a good movie and practicing yoga when shes not doing yard work or on a family outing.

Maria began her dental career in 1983 at West Seattle Dental Center working beside her father, a dentist. To this day, she loves interacting with her patients and making their visits as comfortable as possible.

When not caring for patients, Maria spends time boating, kayaking, and enjoying her family. Shes been married to her husband, Kevin, for 26 years, and they have two grown daughters. Kirsten received a degree in Commercial Aviation from the University of North Dakota, and Ana is a University of Washington graduate pursuing a degree in law. A pleasant evening at Marias house includes walking the family dog, Tess!

Danielle loves being part of the team at Gilbreath Dental, and she appreciates the passion her colleagues share for our profession. She always puts herself in the patients shoes and remembers what its like to be there. Danielle brings a fun approach to her position and lives like every day is Friday!

Married with five children and a Husky Doberman, Roscoe, Danielle enjoys a good comedy or action movie. If you havent seen Meet Dave, she recommends it. A trip to Bali tops her bucket list, so be sure and let her know if youve ever been there!

Wally's sweet, mellow nature brings many smiles to our patients. Born in 2016, our favorite labradoodle spends 2-3 days each week in our practice. He usually hangs out in Dr. Gilbreath's personal office or in the front with Lacey and Jana. We plan to train him soon as a therapy dog to accompany anxious patients during treatment.

When he's not in the office, Wally enjoys long walks around Normandy Park, fetching tennis balls, and swimming in The Cove. He'll also go after anything extra squeaky, give an extra scratch behind his ear, and be your best friend if you share something off your plate!
