The most amazing aspect of dentistry is that I get to share my skills and help people fix, maintain, and brighten their smile. I feel like I am saving the world, one mouth at a time. Gone are the days when people have to dread going to the dentist. My goal is to help every patient of mine feel they have their very best smile so that they can be confident wherever life takes them.
I grew up in Spokane, WA, and visited Seattle with my family often. I studied at Brigham Young University and after, went to SUNY at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine where I received my Dental degree in 2010. Following dental school, I moved to this amazing Seattle area where I have been practicing dentistry since 2012.
I have a great passion for dentistry and treating patients as family. My five amazing kids and I love this part of the Northwest and all the fantastic events and experiences Seattle offers. My kids keep me very active and young at heart and help me keep perspective on what matters most.
Ive wanted to be a dentist ever since I was in grade school. I felt the kindness of my dentist and his staff and knew I wanted to be a part of a team like that. I try every day to deliver the same thoughtful, gentle, and comprehensive dentistry to all my patients that I experienced.

As a geriatric, with significantly compromised mental capacity, it is reassuring that I have complete faith in Dr. Tanner's honestly and integrity! Being a skeptic, belief in your doctor, dentist and caregiver is integral. I highly recommend Sound Dental from cradle to grave. Ronald Jones Seattle/Las Vegas

This was my first time experience with Dr. Tanner. My long time dentist retired and recommended him highly. I am 80 and still a nervous dental patient. I had 2 fillings done this afternoon with adequate sedation and no nitrous. Dr. Tanner was indeed very gentle, thorough, and quick. While I hope to see him infrequently, I have found my dental home. Had my teeth cleaned by Rad mila. Did without gas for first time in over 20 years. She was so gentle that I won't ask for gas again.

Dr. Tanner and his team are awesome. I got several cavities filled and a couple of crowns replaced, and they comforted me and kept me informed throughout the procedures, and restored my teeth to their original condition. Big thanks. ^Ashish

Customer service here is great, one always feels welcome. My teeth were cleaned by Olga and she did a wonderful job. She catered to my every need; including a pillow behind my neck. I was so comfortable I could have fallen asleep!!

I'm not even sure where to begin to express my gratitude and how amazing this team is! I had a defeating start to the week with immense tooth pain. Needed an emergency root canal. They got me in right away and looked out for me and my kiddo. Treated us like family and I couldn't be more grateful. The dentist and assistants are masters of communication. They explained every step along the way and were super cautious to be as gentle as possible. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you all!

I had a wonderful first time experience! All of the staff is very friendly. I look forward to completing the wonderful dental plan that Dr. Tanner presented to me today. We started today on my dental plan with a temporary crown. It was really easy to schedule an appointment, and I believe they did an excellent job.

I have a great fear of dentists due to past experiences. Dr. Tanner and his team took care to make me feel at easy with my procedure. They also got me in super quick. I called yesterday for a broken crown and they got me in today and fixed me up with a temporary one. So far very happy with my choice of dentists.
