Every time I come to Shoreline I am reminded how much I love having them as my dentist. They are kind, thoughtful, responsive and personable. It also doesn't hurt they are within walking distance of my work! Like most people, I get a little nervous around the dentist and they make me feel right at home. Thank you!!

My husband went to Shoreline Dental and loved it. That meant a lot... he's not exactly one to rave about any type of provider. So I was excited to transfer there from my existing dentist who was not my fave. Unfortunately I'd had a crown put in by that other dentist (not Shoreline) that kept falling out so I had to continue there for way too long to deal with this crummy crown they did. Finally, I was able to go to Shoreline, and I wish I just went to them right away rather than relying on the crummy dentist to "fix" my crown for free multiple painful inconvenient times. Shoreline was awesome. Staff is SO friendly. I LOVE the comfort menu, and the work they do is great! I had deep ridges along my gum line and no one ever suggested filling them in before. Dr. Livingston recommended it and within an hour, my smile improved so much! Why didn't I do this years ago? Because no one told me it was an option. The cleaning felt good, and I felt well cared for. Was great to see cutting edge technology, minimally-invasive technology there, too. I marketed dental practice for a while and know what the forefront technology is... they have it! I can't recommend this place enough. Don't delay for a stupid reason like I did. Make your appointment here now. You won't find anyplace better.
