Bryant & Junge Prosthodontics

I had a chance to meet Dr. Junge at my initial evaluation and I was very worried as it had been over a year since I had seen the dentist. I maintain my oral health very well but I had a sneaking suspicion I would need some major work. After his thorough examination, I only needed a cleaning and two fillings repaired. Nothing major, phew! He wasn’t pushy like some offices that try to get you to replace all the old fillings. Thank you Dr. Junge and Team for your fantastic service.

Last year, after researching dentists to death, I finally took the plunge and got the coloring in my tooth fixed. If you are considering any kind of cosmetic dentistry, when it comes to Dr. Junge, I say get it done NOW. Based on the huge difference it made in my life, I know I waited far too long. Here’s my story.
The nerves in my right front tooth died when I was 12 after an accident. The tooth itself was still «good”/healthy, but over time it would discolor and turn a yellow/​gray. Over the years I tried various things — bleaching from the inside, whitening, etc. I never considered veneers or crowns because a) I can usually tell — they look fake; and b) I thought it was too expensive for me! Well, I was wrong. One consultation with Dr. Junge and his knowledgeable staff, and I knew I was in the right hands.
You know that feeling when you’re shy about something, so you hold back a bit? Or you peer at every photo taken of you, looking for that one flaw that stands out? For me, this was my smile. Only now do I realize how much this was detracting from my life.
In my case, Dr. Junge advised I get veneers on the front four teeth, as these must match in color. Veneers are NOT fake teeth — they simply shave down the front of your own tooth and install a colored slide on the front. They can also re-​shape to make everything very even and symmetrical. Dr. Junge had me go out to Mill Creek to meet with their colorist, a man who does this full-​time just to produce realistic yet beautiful colors based on what you have and what you need for the best individualized product possible. This is why their veneers don’t look «fake» or stand out from your other teeth! Look at my picture…
Even my regular dentist, whom I’ve known for my entire life, said he would never know unless I told him. That’s how beautiful his work was.
More details:
LOCATION: Park in Pacific Place for $ 6, walk 1 block. Easy peasy.
DESK STAFF: Wonderful ladies who know everything about your case when you call. They helped me with my insurance and worked very had to get me every dollar I could! They, along with Dr. Junge, even helped me with a specific straightening issue for free. Thank you thank you thank you. I have not forgotten.
DR. JUNGE: All class, makes you feel comfortable, works quickly.
PRICE: Yes, you can probably get a cheaper quote from your local dentist. However, in my opinion, when going with a cosmetic fix, you should go to a professional in this area — and Dr. Junge is IT. You pay for what you get — and the color, shape, and the consultation with the secondary colorist is just extraordinary. I wouldn’t skimp on this area — it’s your teeth! You ALWAYS look at them! However, as I mentioned, the staff worked with my insurance and I paid far less than I expected.
I get compliments on my smile and how white my teeth are all the time. I only wish I had done this years earlier. I honestly think Dr. Junge and his team can do anything you come up with — go see him! He is a mouth magician!

I have been a patient at this office since 1990. Through good insurance, bad insurance and no insurance, I have stuck with them. Once you find a good dentist and hygienists, as well as a friendly office staff, why switch? While I have changed careers and homes, most of the staff that works with Dr. Bryant has remained constant. It is very rare these days to find that in any environment. These are some dedicated people, who obviously work well together.
Finally, after years of denial, dental disrepair, and switching from dentist to dentist, I was able to convince my husband to go to my dentist. He now goes for his regular cleanings without a grumble. While I am happy with any of the hygienists, he will only see Joan, she made him realize cleaning don’t have to be painful.

After spending thousands at this office I was done a HUGE disservice.
My insurance failed to cover a bill that was less than 150 dollars, instead of contacting me the office turned this bill over to collections. The minute I was contacted by phone, FOR THE FIRST TIME, regarding this bill I paid it. Yet the collection agency this office used refuses to remove the negative mark on my account. This has cost me over 50 points on my credit rating and will cost me thousands in interest payments if I decide to purchase a home.
Like I said, you spend 10k dollars at this office but one screw up on your insurance could cost you even more…

My visit at Dr. Junge’s office highlighted the difference between «in it for the money» and «true patient care.» I chose this office after reading Unilocal reviews and other research. I needed a new dentist since my previous dentist, Dr. Fared Bell (Ranked #2 in Seattle by
) retired.
Upon making the appointment, I was informed I needed to pay $ 107.00 for a dental exam prior to the cleaning. It was explained this was a thorough exam and necessary for new patients and is a one time fee.
At my appointment, about half way through the cleaning, Dr. Junge enters the room and introduces himself, looks at my teeth, asks my to bite down, tells me my teeth look great, advises me on the benefits of getting x-​rays and leaves. This could not have taken more than five minutes. So that is $ 107 for about 5 minutes of the doctor’s time. At an hourly rate, this works out to almost $ 1300!
Upon paying my bill, I was informed I would have to pay $ 81 if I ever wanted the doctor to examine my mouth — otherwise the hygienist just does the cleaning.
I’m shocked by this. Where is the supervision that insures the hygienist will do a good job cleaning if his/​her work is not inspected by the doctor? Prior to this, I have never been to a dental office where you have to pay extra to have the doctor review the hygienist’s work and check for problems and will not continue to see one that does.
***For those who have never experienced better, my previous dentist would inspect the cleaning (usually spend a few minutes cleaning as well), inspect my mouth/​throat for cancer, feel for abnormalities in cheeks, gums and throat and advise me on any areas of concern. The hygienist would also measure my gums to check for inflammation. This was all included in the $ 145.00 cleaning fee.

I hate to rain on this love-​fest with dr. Bryant, but I have a different story. Dr. Bryant built me an upper denture and lower partial from the ground up. it was never right. I told him time and again about ill fit and pain, and that I couldn’t put any pressure into a bite. Eating a piece of even the most tender meat was impossible.
He got frustrated with me every time I returned, but dentures cost a LOT of money and I wanted mine to fit right. He got increasingly annoyed with me, accusing me of clenching my jaw – which I do not do – and saying I was bringing the trouble on myself.
Finally he did a reline, but it was never right either.
In the course of my seeing him, he pointed out a few other minor cavities. We discussed the situation, and mutually agreed that I would see another dentist in my neighborhood because of cost, dental insurance coverage and the hour traveling time it took to see him.
I went to another dentist and had an extraction in the course of getting my cavities filled. I then went back to dr. Bryant, who did another lower reline, which again, was loose and wobbly. It was worse than ever, flopping around in my mouth, the metal snagging on my teeth, getting tons of gunk underneath both sides when I tried to eat.
I paid top dollar for the remake. So I went back again, hoping he had a fix for me, another reline, something. I told him I thought he’d done the original reline while my gum was still very swollen, and now the lower was loose for that reason.
Bottom line, he told me he was NOT doing another reline, I needed a new partial from the bottom up, he couldn’t work with me because I was seeing two dentists. He gave me the bum’s rush and walked out of the office while I was still talking.
I’m pretty upset. First, he TOLD me to see another dentist. Second, I would have paid for another partial if that was what it took. He left me in pain, with an unresolved dental issue, when he was the dentist who had made the appliance In the first place.
I’m angry, distressed and left with a lower partial that hurts and cuts me. I can never in good conscience recommend this dentist, a guy who doesn’t follow through with or guarantee his work, someone who leaves his patient in pain and with no clear course of action. Cold shot, if you ask me.

One of the downsides of moving across the country is leaving behind the stable crop of excellent professionals you’ve managed to find in your time in any given city, and my dentist in Boston was truly fab. Good dentists are hard to put a price on, as anyone who has had a bad experience would be quick to confirm.
Unilocal did me a solid on this one, though. The glowing reviews seemed promising, the website reassuringly professional, and the photo portfolio of dental work very attractive — an extra bonus for me, since I left Boston in the middle of a process to get porcelain veneers.
I also have jaw problems — TMJ.
On my first visit, I mentioned both of the above. We made another appointment for the usual gamut of x-​rays, wax impressions and molds, as well as a CT scan and regular high-​res photos of my teeth, smile, and profile. Measurements of my head/​face were taken so that Dr. Bryant could mock up the molds on a moving device that would simulate my bite.
He put these things together into a very thorough presentation for me – OVER HIS BIRTHDAY WEEKEND — and then explained my entire dental situation to me over the course of about an hour with Casey Johnson (I think) also present. They wanted me to understand the full range of options I had before I made a final decision as to whether or not to go forward with porcelain veneers, including several far less intensive (and less expensive) choices open to me. I saw, and learned, things about my teeth and jaw that I didn’t know — even after the level of care I’d had in Boston. I felt very equipped to make a decision, and really grateful for the amount of time invested in ensuring that I knew everything I’d need to make the right one.
tl;dr: I’m going to let these people put my veneers in, and feel 100% comfortable about doing that. I don’t think I have any higher praise or more telling information than that to give.

TL;DR: You won’t regret coming to this dental office. Read on for the personal version.
I don’t think anyone has great things to say about their dental history. I know I don’t. I’ve been screwed over every which way but happy with dentists. The most recent one, before Dr. Junge, botched up 16 – count ‘em 16 – veneers. 4 years after application, they all started keeling over like they were all secretly apart of some religious cult. When this happened, Dr. Junge and his team were a godsend.
No joke. Every other week, a new veneer decided to up and pop off. Any dentist as popular and prestigious as Drs. Bryant and Junge were sure to have fully booked schedules. And surely they did. But I’ll be damned, each time I needed Dr. Junge and his team, they were there for me. Oh, another veneer fell off? We’ll see you tomorrow, first thing.
I can’t even explain the thanks I have for this dental office. Always willing to cope with my weird anxieties, deeply rooted in years of shitty dental experiences. They are empathetic, responsive, and honestly concerned about their patients’ well-​being. And if you’re having a dental crisis, whether it’s real or just partially real and also psychological, they’ll make you feel at home. They’ll make you feel cared for. Taken care of.
That’s exceedingly rare with dentists. The whole office, from administration to technicians to Dr. Junge. They’re just good, smart people.
Do yourself a favor and come visit them. You won’t regret it. Your teeth won’t, either.

So happy to have found them. I have never had a positive dental experience in my life before finding them. I have been afraid of dentists for so long based on my previous experiences.
But now, I have Dr. Bryant, who has never made me feel guilty, embarrassed, scared or nervous. They also referred me to Dr. Kim, who did my root canal, which was also a positive experience!
I’m so content now :)

I can’t speak for Bryant but I ended up seeing Dr. Junge last year and was more than ecstatic about my experience. I wasn’t 100% pleased with the appearance of my smile and at first went to Dr. Junge for a consult.
Dr. Junge started out by giving my options but he was rather adamant I take the most conservative solutions versus other dentists who jumped at the idea of expensive and unnecessary veneers.
Junge and his entire staff was great to deal with from start to finish and I am only disappointed my new insurance won’t allow me to continue visits to his office.

Really outstanding. We take my mom here and they are sooo patient and good to her. They go out of their way to be gentle and fit her into their schedule. Their patience and gentle manner go a long, long ways in building trust.
Not only is Dr. Junge wonderful, but his entire staff requires props. Ultra kind and way beyond any levels of courteousness, they are one of a kind.
Gotta love them.

They were professional, friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and thorough. I have never had a better cleaning or all my questions regarding my teeth and dental care answered patiently and with the most up to date information. I highly recommend Bryant and Junge.

I am so thrilled to have found Dr. Junge. He is a true artist of a dentist. I’m super particular about dentists as both my uncle and my cousins are dentists and both have taught at USC. After moving to Seattle, I went through quite a few before «finding» Dr. Junge. I am so pleased with the BEAUTIFUL work he has done and the level of thought he has put into the decisions about my dental care.
In addition, twice I’ve needed an «emergency» appointment, due to a chipped tooth. In both cases, his staff has been able to get me in right away.

I have been going to Dr. Ronald Bryant and Dr. Thomas Junge for years and I am very happy with the work they have done on my teeth. My teeth weren’t very well taken care of when I was a child because I wasn’t taken to a dentist between the ages of nine and 12 and I as a result I had suffered a lot of damage because of that. I needed lots of crowns and root canals as an adult, and because of the excellent work or Drs. Bryant & Junge I still have all of my teeth and they look pretty good considering what I went through in terms of dentistry or lack thereof as a child.
They do beautiful work on crowns, so much so that my endodontist once thought that he was drilling through «the real McCoy,» until he discovered it was actually one of Dr. Bryant’s excellently constructed crowns!
Recently, Dr. Junge patched a chip on one of my two front teeth and he did a wonderful job and you can’t even tell it had ever been chipped (in a car accident in 2003). It feels better too.
Dr. Bryant helped to put my beautiful daughter back together after she suffered a gunshot wound to the face at close range that destroyed part of her teeth and she is again looking beautiful. He is very compassionate to his patients and he does fantastic work!
Dr. Junge is also a member of the «Flying Doctors of America,» an outfit that does great charity work by giving free dental work to people in need in poor remote areas of the world. He is also a private pilot and he even flies the plane to the countries where he does the dental work for the people in need and he looks like George Clooney!
I highly recommend these two fine dentists. Their staff is wonderful too and they are very patient with scaredy-​cats like me!

Having had a bad experience at another office during an extraction/​implant, I had put off having another extraction done for about 4 years. It finally became time to just get it done and I tentatively looked around for a new practice to do the deed.
In my search, I emailed Bryant and Junge for information and began a series of communications with Casey (the office manager?). She answered all of my questions (via email) and put me at ease, understanding that my previous experience was bad and assuring me that Bryant and Junge were awesome.
Had a consult and Dr. Junge. He eliminated the contact on the affected tooth to see if it would help over a few weeks (good first step; didn’t help). He also explained that, after the extraction, I may simply decide to not have an implant placed (not trying to sell me something).
The tooth didn’t improve so I had the extraction done a couple days ago. While there’s not sugar coating having a tooth pulled, the procedure went extremely fast. Dr. Junge is extremely efficient. I have not seen any blood, had little pain and, since it is the back tooth, I can’t even see the stitch (es). Minimal swelling and pain, no bruising.
The office staff is extremely knowledgeable. It doesn’t seem to matter who you talk to; everyone seems to know what is going on.
We’ll see what happens if I decide to proceed with the implant in a few months. So far, the experience has been excellent.

Saw Dr. Bryant yesterday for the first time and everything was great. The person that cleaned my teeth was super friendly and very gentle when flossing. I hadn’t seen a dentist in around a year and my last dentist was very off and on with his service. Hoping I have another great experience in 6 months!

I’ve been seeing both Dr. Bryant and Dr. Junge as my dentists for years and years. I heard about their outstanding work from other doctors and surgeons when I was working at Virginia Mason in my 20s. Now I’m nearing 40 and my mom and aunt are regulars there as well. I always feel completely cared for and valued as a patient, and their skills/​techniques are second to none. Whether for regular dental needs, crown work or smile enhancement, they are simply the best. They are who other top doctors go to for their dental care :)

I’m so thankful I found Dr. Bryant. In my 52 years, I’ve have multiple dentists who did multiple procedures (starting at age 5 when all my baby teeth molars got silver caps) so I’ve always dreaded dentists. When I decided on a much needed cosmetic change, I started looking for a dentist who specialized in this area. Fortunately, I met Dr. Bryant who immediately made me comfortable. He’s kind, extremely competent (staying current on all recent techniques and procedures) and very professional. His entire office staff is so friendly, and they make you feel like you are part of their family.
We have completed gum grafting and temporary crowns on my upper teeth, and it looks great already. I’m looking forward to getting my permanent crowns, and then we’ll start work on my lower teeth.
My situation is complicated due to a front implant placed at another facility, but Dr. Bryant patiently worked out a solution that allowed me to keep my current implant, but improved the aesthetics. If you’re looking for a WONDERFUL dentist, he’s your man!

Dr. Bryant has been my dentist for as long as I can remember, but until recently had very little interaction aside from a short visit at the end of my cleanings. I am blessed with cavity defying lacto-​bacilli but was cursed with a bullet to my face shattering 5 of my teeth and obliterating a good portion of my Mandible, Maxilla, and upper right quadrant of my dentition. Lucky for me Dr. Bryant referred me out to Leone and Vaughn orthodontics and Dr. Jonov’s Facial Surgery Center of Seattle in April 2010. March 2011 I was massively stoked when he painstakingly custom made my bridge virtually indiscernible to the glancing eye, complete with prosthetic matching gum tissue and an exact match and feel that I had had before. His kind and detail oriented work enabled me not only to start eating chips again but gave me the confidence and facial symmetry I needed to start rebuilding my face and my life.
Thank You Dr. Bryant for your generosity and compassion.

Okay, just to let you know, I HATE going to the dentist. Would rather give birth to a baby without anesthetic. When I see the ad for 1 – 800 dentist on TV, I change channels.
So my sis dragged me in to her dentist (who was her secretary’s long time dentist). Oh, I probably forgot to mention that over the years of avoiding dentists, things were getting out of control. It’s not that I didn’t try to take care of my teeth, brushing, flossing and all of that. And I did spend lots of money on them. But my teeth just kept deteriorating and it got to the point where I gave up.
Enter Dr. Junge. He looked into my mouth and didn’t collapse, didn’t lecture me on taking care of my teeth, just calmly gave me 3 choices of treatment plans. He is not chatty at all, but I trusted him right away.
So after only 4 appointments, my teeth are BEAUTIFUL, much better than I’d ever imagined. I just want to run around smiling at people, which was very hard for me before. And the treatments didn’t hurt — he takes great care to be slower, but do things the right way.
To wrap it up, I’ve probably had 10 dentists in my life, and Dr. Junge puts them all to shame.
If you really need a good dentist that you can trust, this is your guy.
