Our mission

Dental care that feels honest and unhurried. Every plan is written out with the treatment code, what your plan pays and what you pay, before anything starts.

Our vision

A practice people stay with for decades. We keep the schedule short enough that nobody is rushed, and we treat the whole family in one visit block where we can.

Reasons Patients Stay With Us

Why Choose Northbay
  • We run to the clock

    Average wait past your appointment time last quarter was four minutes. Run us past fifteen and your hygiene visit is free.

  • The price in writing, first

    Every plan lists the code, the insurance portion and your portion. Nothing is added once you are in the chair.

  • Digital from end to end

    Intraoral scanning instead of impression trays, CBCT planning for implants, and X-ray doses about 80% below film.

  • Built for anxious patients

    Noise-cancelling headphones, a hand signal that stops everything instantly, and nitrous oxide at no extra charge.

Patient Stories
★★★★★

“I avoided dentists for eleven years out of pure fear. Dr. Boateng talked me through every step and I felt nothing. I've been back three times since without dreading it once.”

Priya RaghavanKirkland · Feb 2026
★★★★★

“Cracked a molar on a Friday morning. Called at ten, in the chair by half one, walked out with a permanent crown the same afternoon. Nobody else on the Eastside could do that.”

Daniel OkonjoJuanita · Jan 2026
★★★★★

“They gave me the full aligner cost in writing before we started and the final bill matched it exactly. After my last dentist, that alone earned my whole family's business.”

FAQ

Questions we get every week

Can't find yours? Call (425) 555-0163 — a person answers, not a phone menu.

Book Appointment
Do you take my insurance?

We are in-network with Delta Dental of Washington, Premera, Regence, Cigna PPO, MetLife, Aetna and Guardian, and we bill out-of-network plans directly so you don't pay the full fee up front. Send a photo of your card with the booking form and we'll verify benefits before you arrive.

How fast can I be seen for a toothache?

We hold two emergency chairs every weekday and one on Saturday morning. Call before 3 PM on a weekday and in almost every case you are seen that day.

What happens at a first visit?

About 70 minutes: a full set of digital X-rays, an intraoral scan, gum health charting, an oral cancer screening, and a cleaning if your gums are healthy enough on the day. You leave with a written plan and the prices on it.

I'm genuinely terrified of the dentist. What can you do?

Book a talk-only consult first — no instruments, chair upright. From there we can offer nitrous oxide at no extra charge, oral sedation, longer appointments and a stop signal you control. Roughly one in five of our patients came to us after years of avoiding treatment.

Do you see children?

Yes, from the first tooth. Dr. Tanaka runs our pediatric schedule and we keep family blocks so siblings and parents can be seen back to back.

Where do I park?

Free underground parking beneath the building, entered from Harbour Walk, with two accessible bays by the lift. Street parking on Lake Street is two hours free.
