Dr. Braden aims to provide the best, most up-to-date, comprehensive, and comfortable dental care to the South Whidbey community. By travelling the country to attend continuing education courses many times every year, he stays on the cutting edge of current care. His studies have given him an advanced education in Neuromuscualr TMJ treatment, Orthodontics, Implant Dentistry, Biological/Naturopathic Dentistry and Cosmetic Dentistry. His commitment to continuing dental education and broad scope of interests in the dental field give his patients the piece of mind that they are receiving truly comprehensive, up-to-date and highly skilled care.
Patient comfort is another of Dr. Bradens priorities. During the visit, he takes time to be sure the patient has everything they need to be comfortable. He offers every patient a pillow, blanket, noise cancelling headphones, and Nitrous Oxide laughing gas. He takes the time to deliver comfortable local anesthesia, and be sure the patient is adequately numb before beginning. He does everything he can to ensure the patients experience at the office is comfortable and positive.
Dr. Braden's excellent dental skills were recognised during his time at University of Washington School of Dentistry. He received the award for Excellence in Operative Dentistry by the National Association of Gold Foil Operators, and the award for Excellence in Preclinical Fixed Prosthodontics from the University Of Washington Department Of Prosthodontics. Since then his excellence in dentistry has been recognized by the many positive reviews from his patients.
When Dr. Braden is not caring for patients or participating in continuing education, he enjoys spending time with this wife and two children enjoying the outdoors. Their outdoor passions includerock climbing, backcountry snowboard touring, surfing, and kitesurfing.
Dr Mary Jane, as we affectionately call her, has lived on Whidbey Island since 1990. Originally from Indiana, she graduated from Butler University with a BS in Zoology and received her dental degree from the University of Washington School of Dentistry with honors in Prosthodontics. She traveled to Leeds in Great Britain for an Oral Surgery residency. While raising her 3 children, Sam, Zora, and Emma, she worked with Island County Public Health. As the Public Health Dentist, she helped to increase dental care for low-income adults and children. She was instrumental in the ABCD (Access for Baby and Child Dentistry) childrens programs, as well as, setting up the Oak Harbor dental clinic for low income and uninsured residents.
Dr Lungren is an active member of the South Whidbey community and a compassionate and loving mother and skilled dentist. We at Saratoga dental are delighted to have her as our leader in childrens dental health
Jodi has a calming and sincere manor that helps patients feel comfortable knowing that she will help them with their accounts and treatment scheduling. She is also knowledgeable about insurance and will help in ways to maximize patient dental insurance coverage. Her previous experiences in specialty dental practices give her a wide perspective.
Amy started her dental career with us in 1999. She has a gentle calming presense and caring heart ready to listen to a patients concerns and soothe fears. Her smile is honest and delightful, and you can tell that she loves her work. Kids especially enjoy Amy because she makes them feels special and is attentive to their feelings.

Tried to book an appointment for help, and they were accepting new patients. When I told them who my insurance carrier was, they promptly replied that they aren't accepting new patients who use my insurance carrier. Disappointing that ...

Saratoga Dental is the five-star hotel of dental offices. Sure, they may cost a little more than some other offices for certain treatments, but I will gladly pay for their premium service. They have put together an incredible team who are thorough, extremely skilled, and who go out of their way to make sure each patient's experience is as pleasant as is humanly possible. I have referred many friends and family to them, and have always gotten positive feedback. I recommend Saratoga Dental without reservation. They are simply the best!

I feel so fortunate that my husband Amir and I found Saratoga Dental when we moved to the island six years ago. From the reception desk to the dentists chair, the staff is top-notch: efficient, skilled, and very professional. We always feel we're getting the best care on- or off-Island!

Friendly and professional always. Well organized and efficient in spite of significant construction activity. Seems like it always costs more than I had expected or planned, but I know the value and quality of dental care is worth it.

I am fortunate to have Dr. Giswold for my dentist. This guy is an absolute artist. I am more than happy with all the staff at this practice.

I am not easy to work on as I can have no anesthesia and have multiple chemical reactions. Going to the dentist to have something fixed causes anxiety and I walk in with Epi-pen in hand. The Saratoga dental team are careful, patient, and kind. They are also gifted, skilled, and up to date, on the latest dental technology. I would not trust my dental health to anyone else.

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the construction noise. It's very loud and add that to the masking means conversation is VERY difficult.
