Lake Union Family Dental

The entire staff here is friendly and caring from the front desk staff to the hygienists and Dr. Seuk. I’ve had experience with multiple hygienists here and they are all fantastic. Dr. Seuk takes a careful, conservative approach (which I appreciate) and does not perform unnecessary work unless it’s absolutely needed. I used to take my children to a pediatric dentist but started bringing my children here instead a few years ago and they don’t miss the fluff at their old pediatric dentist’s office. This office is very kid-​friendly.

OK, a quick disclaimer going in: I have never had a cavity or any major dental work done beyond orthodontia. So, this is a review of cleanings I’ve been having here for the past 4 years only.
But, with that said, this also means i’m pretty confident I’m not being recommended unnecessary dental work by Dr. Seuk and his wonderful team of hygienist and the occasional dental student!
This is a small office, located in a really cool location on the shores of Lake Union. Everyone is always SO friendly, and I’m usually able to book out my preferred 4pm cleaning time six months out, exactly when I want it. They’re great about reminding me of upcoming appointments and make it easy for me to stay on top of getting my teeth cleaned regularly.
Again, I want to reiterate that the hygienists here are all very wonderful folks. I am a happy customer!

Dr. Seuk and his wonderful team have been my go-​to dental folks for three years, and they are the best dentists I’ve had in over 50 years. Why? First, they are friendly, warm — and very good at what they do. Second, they are located in one of the best dental offices imaginable — a renovated red brick flour factory on Westlake, about a 10 minute walk from MOHAI — with a fantastic view of the lake and the city skyline. Imagine sitting in a dental chair and feeling like you’re in the middle of a marina. It’s incredibly relaxing, and all made better by the professional and great bedside manner of the entire team. Three thumbs up.

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Seuk since he purchased the Lake Union Dental Practice from Dr. Trepanier several years ago.
He has helped me with crowns, fillings, and implants and cleanings.
The whole staff, Bivian, Dr. Seuk, and assistants are terrific.
I especially appreciate Santiago the Hygienist to the stars. I am getting a little long on the tooth, and of all the hygienists I have visited, he is the most gentle and thorough of them all.
Thanks for all your great work and the new office décor looks great.

Dr. Seuk is a great dentist, and more than that, a wonderful person who deserves your business. I feel bad that it was taken me this long to write a review on here for him, but 3 months ago Dr. Seuk helped me out like few other dentists (or medical professionals) ever would.
I had just moved to Seattle literally 3 days before and I was riding a borrowed bike home from work up the lake union waterfront trail (in the pouring rain) near the lake union family dentist building. My front tire lost traction as i swerved around some runners and before I knew what happened, my face hit the cement, and I broke my front false tooth at the interface of the crown and the permanent implant. I also cracked about ¹⁄₃ of my other front tooth off. My lips were bleeding, I was holding my tooth in my hand looking confused and embarrassed and angry with myself when a passerby mentioned that a dentist office was very close by. I went to the door and saw with dismay that they were closed.
My phone was dead, and I had no way to get to the house I was staying at in Renton, and I was still in pain and bleeding everywhere. Then the building’s janitor came by and said that Dr. Seuk sometimes got his hair cut across the street after work. He checked the parking lot and said that, indeed, his car was still there, and I could check the barber for him.
I walked across the street and found Dr. Seuk getting his hair cut. I asked if he was the dentist and when he said yest, I showed him my tooth and asked if he could help. He said yes, and took me across the street and opened his office up. With no staff, and hours after he had closed, he cleaned me up, tacked my false tooth to its neighbors as he couldn’t permanently fix it, and added material to my cracked tooth. When he was done, It took a trained eye to tell that anything had happened besides a bad split lip. eventually the false tooth came loose as he said it would (obviously) but the repaired tooth is still going strong, I eat with it and nobody can tell. What was meant as a temporary fix has turned out to be great, quality work.
I’m not sure I should say this last part of the story, as I don’t want to set a president that Dr. Seuk obviously cannot keep, but after he patched me up and really calmed me down with his friendly demeanor and professional skill, he walked me out of the office and said, «this one is on the house, welcome to Seattle.»
I was speechless with thanks. I am a poor person and the second thought through my head after I felt teeth hit pavement, was, «f@#$, I can’t afford this right now.»
and its true, I couldn’t. Crowns and false teeth, even ones without which I would be unable to properly chew, or get a job for that matter, are considered cosmetic, and not covered by medicaid. Eventually I got my old removable false tooth refitted and have gotten by with the original work done by Dr. Seuk for 3 months. If it wasn’t for him, I’m not sure what I would have done. But, the best thing that Dr. Seuk did for me was reassure me, and give me help when I was scared and in pain. I have come to expect anything but that kind of kindness from our medical system, and I cannot express how great it was to be treated so well in my time of need.

Seriously the nicest people ever!
After about 8 years of grad school (I know!!) without dental insurance, my teeth needed some attention. The lovely folks at Lake Union Family Dental were super pleasant as they provided me with x-​rays, cleanings, a root canal (fun!), crown, teeth whiting… I hate going to the dentist, but seriously these people are great. My teeth are much happier now. They have the greatest stories to tell you as you get your teeth cleaned — which is fun because it’s not like you can really contribute to the conversation with your mouth wide open.
I’ve been super difficult to get a hold of to schedule things like replacing the temp crown with the real crown — and instead of being annoyed with me (as they could have been) — they are always happy to hear from me. I’m sorry I’m such a bad patient! :) But yeah, go here for your teeth-​related needs. I’m moving back to San Francisco, and I know I won’t have as nice a bunch down here. They also worked with me on my annual maximum with my insurance — doing the most important work first, and waiting until Jan 2012 for the remaining stuff (seriously I promise I floss but I still get cavities!!).
5+ stars!
Oh and bonus points for watching a scuba guy get out of the water and arrive at his «office» through the window at the dentist office — it looks right on to Lake Union. Not a bad view for cavity-​filling.

I was referred by a client of mine and the office lived up to it’s reputation. Love the folks here — Vivian, Kathy, Santiago, Dr. Seuk. Everyone was extremely professional and welcoming. Dr. Seuk is very knowledgeable and did a great job wth my comprehensive exam. A shout out to Santiago too — one of the best teeth cleaning experiences I’ve had. That’s hard to do!

The most thorough dental exam I have ever had. Dr. Seuk does a wonderful job. I unfortunately had two cavities that needed to be filled. The procedure was quick and painless, and I don’t have any silver crap in my teeth. They use some high quality stuff. The cleaning part was awesome too. Best cleaning EVER.

I had a first time visit to Dr. Seuk and left with thoughts of how numb my mouth would be in the upcoming weeks. Dr. Suek diagnosed 9 cavities. Having never had a single cavity in my life, I immediately questioned his credibility. I went to seek a second opinion in a fit of rage for how weak my teeth had suddenly become. I left my second doctor with not a single cavity. I will NEVER revisit Dr. Seuk knowing he falsely diagnosed me. Candy, here I come.

Dr. Seuk and his office are rockstars! I found him– as I was looking for a second opinion on a dental procedure. I found them so knowledgeable and professional, I left my other dentist.
He, and his team of assistants are friendly, skilled, and have a great sense of humor.
Most importantly, they are HONEST and have a sense of INTEGRITY in their work. About a month ago, they replaced a filling on a molar for me. When it gave me some problems a week later, he immediately took a look, agreed, and re-​did the filling without a single fuss.
The office is very focused on preventative care and monitoring– they want to make sure that you have healthy teeth (not lots of dental expenses)!
Dr. Seuk is the first dentist that I would rate 5-​stars– in both skill and trustworthiness. Thanks!

awesome doctor — super nice and gentle. and it was last minute (they fit me in immediately b/​c of the pain).
thank you dr. seuk

I was referred to Dr. Seuk by a friend. And what a good friend she is!
I hadn’t been to the dentist in almost a year because of my poor experiences elsewhere. To my shock and amazement, every aspect of this office was awesome.
* The front desk staff was courteous, helpful, and even followed up with me when I had forgotten to call back to set my appointment. They also called my former dentist to collect films and records… without my requesting them to do so! It was nice to avoid the awkward conversation.
* They have early morning appointments.
* The dentist chair is overlooking the docks, so it’s actually relaxing to watch the boats bob in the sunrise as I’m getting fillings.
* Santiago, the hygenist, is phenomenal! I had a year’s worth of plaque build-​up (aka – tons of scraping to do!) But somehow, we managed to hold a conversation and even laugh our way through it. It did hurt a few times, but it was really my fault for neglecting my flossing. :)
* The other thing I really loved was that he was the first person to explain to me in terms I could understand why brushing and flossing properly can make such a huge difference.
Now, with my sonic brush and flouride mouthwash in my evening routine, I expect an easy-​breezy visit next time.
