Specialty DentistryAt Sunrise Dental, we maintain a strong internal referral network, which allows us to send you to a highly experienced Sunrise Dental specialist, should the need for specialty treatment arises.
We also have round-the-clock dental care staff. These things help us treat all of your dental needs, including specialty treatments like Periodontal treatment, Oral surgery, Orthodontic treatment and Endodontic treatment within our clinics.
In order to treat each other and every patient as an individual with unique dental needs, it is vital to completely assess their oral health. We perform an oral cancer screening, gums, muscles, and joints that open and close the mouth. We will look at your mouth, gums, and bone that hold the teeth in the periodontics and take photos and x-rays as necessary. With this information you and your doctor determine the treatment that is right for you.
Aesthetic dentistry is a facet dentistry that deals with enhancement, restoration, and maintenance of optimal dental health specifically designed for you. It is based on artistic creation in a framework of sound scientific principles. It utilizes the most advanced techniques and materials to give natural looking and feeling results that can greatly enhance your life
Yes, If your gum are bleeding, it probably means you are not brushing enough. Remember, brushing harder does not make up for quality time spent. In fact, on your oral hygiene brushing hard may lead into enamel erosion. Bleeding gums are not healthy. Healthy teeth and gums do not bleed when they are brushed and/or flossed!
It means you have gingivitis or periodontists. Gingivitis is acute of the gums and is reversible if treated and proper home care is maintained. Periodontists is a silent disease that affects the bone and tissues surrounding the teeth. Periodontists are not reversible, but it is treatable. If some gingivitis is not treated, it will lead into periodontitis.
It takes two working dental visits about 4-6 weeks apart. There are some planning visits prior to the working visits to determine what result you want and some follow-up bite adjustment visits. Porcelain veneers do not stain and are as strong as natural teeth. When properly placed they will not come off or break even when eating taffy, caramel, or corn on the cob. Like natural teeth, veneers may break also. You should still practice good dental home care.
The material typically contains about 50% mercury and even though the ADA has deemed it safe. It is still considered a toxic and hazardous material outside the mouth. In fact, several European countries have totally banned the use of the material. Amalgam fillings are very unaesthetic and because of corrosion typically turn dark with time. There are more aesthetic materials to use. Our office does not place amalgam fillings, unless it is asked by our patients.
This is what we call the filled to death syndrome. It happens when the tooth has become weak from the use of silver/mercury fillings and cannot hold up under normal chewing. This problem is easily corrected with Tooth-Colored Fillings or Bonded On lays.
Fees for our professional services may be paid in cash, personal check, major credit card or dental credit, which allows you to spread payments over an extended period of time. We dont ever want finances to keep you from receiving the dental care you deserve.

Very satisfied after switching dentists. The other reviews are right about friendly staff. Switched from another dental office that recently sold and I'm very glad. Dr Martin takes her time during the exam, is very personable and did a great job. Unlike this drive by DSS that feel more like assembly lines with Hygienists doing 90% of their job.

My first visit was even better than I could have hoped!! First, Alicia greeting me and made me feel so welcome! Then Jenn, the dental hygienist, was so wonderful, funny, and helpful. Much appreciated! Finally, Dr. Martin was very thorough, caring, and explained everything so I could totally understand. I'm so glad I changed dentist to Sunrise Dental Gig Harbor!!

They have a great team at Sunrise Dental of Gig Harbor. My wife had several extractions that were needed and I had a crown done and cavities taken care of. They work real hard to provide a pain free experience. Both my wife and I felt welcomed and comfortable. Thank you Alicia and Rebekah for your friendly disposition, professional attitude and demeanor. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants dental work! Needless to say we will continue to have our dental work done there. Greg

Honestly, best dentist experience I've ever had. Their receptionist, Alicia, is so kind and thorough. I've been bragging about her since I first called a month ago. And they make you feel super comfortable and they go over everything and answer every question! 10/10 would recommend!

Alicia, Jen, and Juli are all great to work with. They are incredibly friendly but also very knowledgeable. They seem to really care about their patients, and went the extra mile to ensure they understood my concerns and verified they were all addressed. It has been many years since I've had a dentist that really cares, and it really shows that they do at Sunrise Dental. I'd suggest them in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a dentist

Absolutely terrible place do not trust them!!! They messed up the dental work they provided for me. Left me in pain for weeks, and would brush me off everytime I tried to call. When I wanted to make a formal complaint they claimed the dentist no longer worked there. They are a complete scam and I would not recommend letting them put their hands on you.

Had to look for a new dental office as my dental coverage changed and let me tell you what; I couldn't be happier with the ladies at sunrise dental! They were very friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the work I needed done. They explained everything in detail while also working with my work schedule and vacation I had planned. They are passionate in what they do and if you want stellar dental care I would highly, highly recommend Sunrise Dental. :)
