    Something about this office is so relaxing! No one likes to go to the dentist but every time we leave an appointment (me and kids 8 &10) we always feel up and happy like "that was a nice little visit we had" it's like some sort of magic!

    Friendly, professional staff. No hassle experience. All paperwork was done before appointment, online. Jen and Dr. McKenna were very thorough on the details and future concerns. Minimal pain. Great service. Next appointments are a few months out.

    I broke a tooth last night and next day I called the Dental clinic to seek dental advice. I went see Dentist, got checked and needed crown... same day crown was placed. Thank you so much. My tooth was fixed right away.

    I've been going to Optimal Dental for years and never once had anything but an optimal, positive experience. Patients are treated more like friends and they seem genuinely happy to see you. Each staff member you interact with is friendly & gracious and makes you feel special. Even though a trip to the dentist might be considered a "necessary evil", or something to dread or endure, at Optimal Dental, they make it as pleasant as possible, and I always leave feeling more like I've spent a day at the spa.

    Dr. Odegard has been my dentist for over 20 years and I highly recommend his services. He has an outstanding staff, as well. Everyone there is friendly, caring, helpful and professional; they are a reflection of Dr. Odegard. I even feel they are like friends or family. Dr. Odegard has years of experience as a dentist and his work is exceptional. In fact, he even taught at the UW Dental School. I wouldn't go to anyone else!

    My son went to Dr. Odegard's Dental Office, Optimal Dental, for a routine examination, Wednesday, June 8, 2022 @ 9:30 AM. I was informed later by Taylor via phone that he has 10 cavities and it would cost me over $900 out- of-pocket cost to fill all his cavities with my insurance. I became suspicious because my son goes to the dentist twice a year and he has never had a cavity. I had Optimal Dental to forward my son's records to another dentist. My son got a second option and learned he has 2 cavities. NOT 10. TWO. I find this office not to have integrity and I would not recommend them.

    Dr. O and his staff are so AWESOME. My family has been going to him since my kids could see a dentist. And now they are in their 40's and still go to him. Even my grandchildren go to his office. They are SO CARING. They make every effort to make you feel comfortable in what for some is a stressful situation. Shout out to my hygienist. Chris is the best. Happy Retirement. Love Dr. Odegard and staff.
