Oleg A Shvartsur, DDS

Always great care and service for my kids and me by Drs Shvartsur and Young and their awesome staff. Thanks!

I can genuinely say that I love going to the dentist now! I’ve spent the most time under the care of Dr. Young and Rebecca — but every member of the team that I’ve spoken to has been professional, welcoming, and knowledgable. The entire team goes above and beyond in even the simplest of tasks. They all love what they do — and it shows!
Dr. Young, her assistants, and hygienists have all been gentle and very thorough. Despite being surrounded by the (not-​so-​scary) tools and having my mouth propped open for an extended periods of time, I’ve always left the office feeling relaxed and well taken care of.
Thanks to the entire team for helping me and my husband maintain our healthy smiles! :D

Dr. Schmedding was my dentist before he sold his practice to Dr. Oleg. At first I was hesitant about a new dentist because I really felt comfortable with Dr. Schmedding. After being Dr. Oleg’s patient for the past couple of years, I have nothing but great things to say about him and his staff. He explains what procedures need to be done and why. Appointments are easy to fit into my busy schedule, no waiting at time of arrival, staff knows exactly who you are when you show up, never any problems with billing or insurance, and love the comfortable chairs, TV, and paraffin! I’ve been recommending family and friends to him. Couldn’t ask for a better dentist.

We are new patients of Dr. Oleg but I have to say I have been incredibly impressed with the service that we have received. Dr. Oleg really made an effort to connect with my kids on their first visit to see him. Even though my daughter got some bad news about some cavities that were having to get filled Dr Oleg made a huge effort to comfort her to make her feel better about her teeth.
My son was complaining about some pain and one of his teeth as well. He did his best to do the least invasive types of treatment initially to avoid both timely and costly treatments. Dr. Oleg called me on his way from the office to check in on my son.
I cannot say enough about how impressed we are with Dr. Oleg. We are looking forward to many years of being in his very capable and caring hands!

I had my appointment with Dr. Oleg last month and it was a true surprise. When I first arrived, there were free water bottles offered, and I didn’t have to wait more than a minute to actually see the doctor. When I first sat in the chair, they gave me paraffin wax on my hands, offered a blanket, and asked over and over if I needed any lip balm and wanted to make sure that I was completely comfortable – which i was. The hygienist was very friendly and informative.
Throughout my filling, they kept me informed about everything that was going on, and if I didn’t want to hear the details, they’d keep them quiet. When I talked about my upcoming wedding, they even gave me a home whitening kit.
Going to the dentists isn’t usually a pleasurable experience, but this one was the exception to the rule. If anyone needs to go to the dentist, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Oleg’s office.

Deciding to write or not to write a review about a business that truly separates themselves as the best in their respective field always leaves me deeply conflicted. I want to keep it a secret, all to myself but then that wouldn’t be doing them justice and I did find them the same way, so in the spirit of keeping it real, here we go.
Going to the dentist for me has always been like going to church, being told that I am a hopeless sinner facing eternal damnation with the thinnest of hopes in being saved. «You will lose all your teeth in about a week» or the most repeated variations of «your teeth looks like that of a 80 year old who never brushed!». Sure we all make mistakes, but I shouldn’t be guilty as charged before the trial has even ran it’s course, right?
You will find no judgement here, never will you feel like being talked down to like a child that has sneaked yet another fruit roll up. No dwelling on the past but a clear mission to save the future, this is some terminator, come with me if you want to live shit. Clear and concise assessment is combined with the latest technology in documentation and procedures in the warmest of settings.
Technology can be a powerful tool, however wielding it without compassion is meaningless. The ways that Dr. Oleg and his team use technology to carefully educate and inform patients as to what the options are, why they are advised and what the outcomes might be, it is really in a class of it’s own. The attention to detail and in depth visuals really helps patients understand what is going on, you are never left in the dark in any way. Some clinics brag they have the latest and most expensive equipment, but very few ever come close to using that technology to it’s full potential.
Some may say the schedule here doesn’t fit their needs, but I would gladly take a day off to come here. We are too nose to the grindstone oriented as a society, working meaninglessly long hours for the ever elusive American dream. We need to become results oriented, they don’t open for gruelingly long hours that ultimately take a toll on the quality of care but the hours that they are open, the staff are at the top of the game, alert, well rested and most importantly — happy to perform their work. Who would have thought our industrial revolution era weekly grind concept might be a tad bit outdated?
Very few dentists that I have come across seem to even scratch below the surface of pretending to care about your well being or health. How many do you know actually take the time to personally call you at the end of a long work day each time you had a procedure to see how you were doing and without hesitation, drop their personal cell phone number in case you need to reach out for any reasons?
I can honestly say that even if the struggle is no longer real and I find myself sipping dom at my summer hilltop château in the swiss alps or the penthouse at the Peninsula Tokyo admiring the cherry blossoms at Chiyoda castle over a fine single malt whiskey, I would still coast my G6 to the fringe of gastronomic greatness, aka Seattle to have my teeth cleaned and worked on.

They had me at hello!
I found this dentist office on Unilocal – they have the highest reviews and so I wanted to try them out. The facilities were nice (an office building on the same street as the Goodwill drop-​off), The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Then when I approached the desk, there was a Comfort Menu!!! It included questions asking about one’s comfort with dentistry and pampering items including music, paraffin wax hand treatments, warming blankets, etc.
Dr. Shvartsur (pronounced as it looks «SHVART-​sir») is great! Knowledgeable about research and insists on evidence-​based practices (ie, practices based on research). If you look at his credentials, he’s more than qualified! And my kids like them because they are all positive and encouraging, even when one had a cavity (their former dentist used to give them report cards which they both hated).
The only other thing I will add is that the office is very well managed and organized. ANd all of his staff are friendly and very gentle and capable. Oh! And they give you referral bonuses, even when you sign up your own kids for their services.

I’ve always wanted to get Invisilign for as long as I could remember. I was getting married in a few months and decided to take the plunge to make those wedding photos just a little bit better :). I stumbled upon Dr. Oleg’s office by referral which is always the best way in my opinion…
My Invisilign experience has been excellent. I have just a few more weeks left in my treatment and love seeing the progress to that perfect smile. I should first start with my initial consultation. Dr. Oleg really cares about his patients as well as educates them which I think is very important. My Invisilign consultation started with what I wanted to see in results then the Doc would elaborate on what I can expect. The environment is very comforting. I needed two fillings before starting the process in order to ensure that the treatment has no disruptions. I went in for that appointment and it went very well. They make you feel at home and give you anything you need. Post appointment I also received a follow up call from the office to check on me and how I was doing. Now that’s what I call amazing service! Each visit to check progress of my treatment is detailed and never rushed. I would definitely recommend anyone looking to get Invisilign to see Dr. Oleg!
My husband actually needed to get a couple of crowns also. We’ve been moving to different areas so never had a chance to settle on a family dentist quite yet. He came to see Dr. Oleg. He really enjoyed all of his visits and was able to entertain himself with a few daytime shows during the procedures. He had multiple visits and also saw Dr. Young. Both Doctors really take their time and really enjoy their work. He loved how warm and friendly the entire practice is, the staff is great!
This is an amazing practice and I would recommend them to any one who needed any dental work or just a dentist to see for regular cleanings! Dr. Oleg and Dr. young will take care of you!

Their office has a very «welcoming» feel to it, all of the staff are super nice and friendly, and you can tell they really care about their patients, and want to be at work :)
The Doc is awesome, he really explains everything to his patients in detail, and doesn’t rush them out of his office, like other dental offices in the area ;) ;) They are always on time, and they even sacrifice their lunch to see patients who cannot make it at another time.
I will definitely be coming back to Dr. Oleg’s office again for all of my dental procedures.
I really wish they would open on the weekends and/​or for extended hours.

We were long time patients of the practice and previous dentist so we trusted Dr. Schmedding to make a good match when he chose to bring on Dr. Oleg and eventually sell the practice. Change is never easy, but this has been a good one. The office staff has turned over as well, but the new staff is professional and pleasant. I’ve been able to have the same hygienist for quite some time and that is to me the most important because that is thankfully all I need on a regular basis. I also like that he is a network dentist in my plan (Delta Dental) because then all my cleaning snd X-​rays are at 100% covered!

Dr. Oleg and his staff are very proactive w/​my family’s dental health. Very friendly and helpful staff from receptionist, to hygienist to billing.

I’ve gone to the same dental office since I started going to the dentist… so Dr Oleg is my third dentist even though I haven’t moved to a new dental practice. Thus far, I’ve been very happy with him. Both his team and he are very friendly, personable and welcoming. They attempt to make your visit as comfortable as possible, which is fantastic — especially since visiting the dentist isn’t on the top of the list of places to go. If you need a new dentist, I highly recommend you try Dr Oleg!

I have been going to this office for years, and at first was sad to hear my dentist was retiring. But I really like Dr. Oleg. Everything about the care there is outstanding. The technology just keeps getting better and faster too. The staff is great, the atmosphere is soothing, and Dr. Oleg is a wonderful dentist. Even if he is a Husky…

Truly a 5 star dentist, staff and office!
From the front office to the dental assistants and Dr Oleg and Dr Young, they all are amazing. This office is truly patient focused making sure every aspect of your experience is nothing but comfortable, easy and positive.
I have had 2 cleanings here and two fillings. My 4 year old son also has had great experiences at this office for his cleanings. It feels like everyone is genuinely concerned making sure every patient that comes through their office is well taken care of and leaves comfortable and happy. Dr Oleg personally called me in the evening after my filings to make sure I was feeling ok and not in any discomfort. Who does that?
When I had my filings done, they were sure to get the tv situated on a show that I liked, had a paraffin treatment on my hands and even stopped during the procedure to put some chap stick on my dry lips. I was impressed that they noticed and took the time to stop what they were doing to give me the comfort of chap stick.
They are great. If you’re looking for a new dentist, try Dr Oleg and Dr Young. You won’t be let down. The last cleaning I had done here was so comfortable and thorough. I mentioned how I really enjoyed this water pick tool my last dentist used to clean around my permanent retainer and they didn’t hesitate to grab that same tool.
They are quick to respond to email if you’re too busy to call for an appointment. They have always been able to schedule my family and I quickly for appointments, even by email. I really hate offices where you feel like you’re getting punished by asking to reschedule an appointment and them giving you another appointment months away. They are so friendly and flexible when you need to reschedule which is so refreshing for a dental office. They can easily get you back on the schedule.
Parking is plentiful with parking spots wide enough for large SUVs and trucks.
On one occasion, I overheard a hallway conversation the receptionist had with Dr Oleg about seeing a new patient same day for a toothache. Even though they were close to closing, Dr Oleg did not hesitate about having the patient come in right away even though it probably would have been more convenient for everyone if the patient came in the next day. What a great guy.

Was recommended to Dr. Oleg by a friend, and I’m so thankful! Have been on a search for a good dentist for a while and I can say I’ve finally found one! The office is very very clean and peaceful, almost spa like. The reception area is very cute and cozy.
I needed to get a cleaning and check up, as it’s been a while. Rebecca did a great job with my taking X-​rays and explaining the pictures to me. She, along the rest of the staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. Dr. Young did my exam, and she was wonderful. Very gentle and thorough. I had a couple of concerns and she took the time to explain what my options were to achieve what I was looking for. I never felt pressured into getting any work done. I needed to get a filling and a retainer for night, and my schedule was pretty limited because I have a small baby. The whole office was very accommodating.
The hygienist did a great job cleaning my teeth. She was gentle and it was pain free. Afterward I got a great explanation of what the best way for my teeth brushing and flossing would be.
I came to see Dr. Oleg for my filling, and he was wonderful as well. Shots and drilling is never fun but Dr. Oleg made it pretty much painless and super gentle. Typically when I’ve had fillings done in the past the dentist kept having to polish it afterward several times to make it smooth and even. I have to say Dr. Oleg has magic hands because after the first polish it felt perfect! I didn’t even feel like there was a filling in there! Thank you! Oh and I forgot to mention they have TVs over the exam chair, so I got to watch a movie instead of listening to drilling which was great.
I think what sealed the deal for me was that at the end of the end I received a phone call from Dr. Oleg checking to see how I was doing and feeling. How many drs do that!
Highly recommend this office and both Dr. Oleg and Dr. Young! See you in 6 months!

I just started seeing Dr. Oleg this year, as I’ve transferred my dental services from Dr. Sakuma in Kirkland, to his office; since he is closer to where I live now.
I have to say, of all the years of my going to dental offices, he runs the tightest, most polite, most caring, and certainly the friendliest of offices I’ve ever been to.
He’s a straight shooter, and I really appreciate that. He doesn’t BS me with fake pleasantries of how beautiful the weather is etc. He’s a dentist, and cares very much for my oral health. He makes it HIS BUSINESS to make sure my teeth are in the best possible shape they can be, for the length of my life.
He’s also very respectful of MY time and my comfort. Folks, isn’t it great to talk to someone who is a great listener when it comes to any issues you may have with your teeth? Someone who really makes you feel like no one else is in the room, but you and her/​him? He is THE MAN.
I esp love the fact that he calls you later in the evening to check up on you to be sure that you’re feeling okay. That your appt went well, etc. A very nice touch. I’ve never ever reccomended a Dental Office before in my life, but this is definately one office that I highly recc! The front office is very clean. The chairs that you lay in are comfortable and clean. Carpets and floors are clean. Counter-​tops are all clean. Everyone is very neatly dressed and clean as well.
Oh, almost forgot one of the best things I hold about this office. Their billing dept are all phenomenal! Have you ever gone to a dentist, had work done, get done with your appt, and before you leave they already know what your bill will be? This office doesn’t fool around. They even know ahead of time what your NEXT appt will end up costing with your insurance taken into account. This is great in case you wanted to inquire about various services, so ascertain if you truly want to get the work done or not, and weigh the cost to value of what it’ll end up costing you.
I came in for a cleaning, and had to set up a time to get my bite-​guard done for my next appt. While I sat down to make my next appt for the bite-​guard, they already knew what it’d cost me to have all of that done. THAT is service! Service that I really, really appreciate. I wish clinics and hospitals were like this more often. From what they told me what it’d cost, I made the decision right there and then that it was a great value for the money, and went ahead to get the service done. (I clench my teeth very very hard, when I workout at the gym, and it’s taking a toll on my bite)
At any rate, he runs a fantastic office. Every single employee are great. They are fantastic. Everyone are all engaged and excited about what they’re doing. They care for the patient. It is clearly evident to me they all love what they are doing.
Dr. Oleg, thank you very much for taking great care of my wife and I. Can I bring my dog in too, to have his teeth cleaned? ;)
A+++++++++++++++HOME.RUN.ALL.THE.WAY!

I finally went in to become a full fledged patient. It took me a while as I was afraid of the dentist and after the initial visit have been building myself up to go see Dr. Oleg after the Open House. After this visit, I wish I hadn’t waited so long!
I got a chance to meet Dr. Young, who is Dr. Oleg’s wife, and both Dr. Young and Dr. Oleg were amazing! I have never had a more thorough exam with detailed explanations of what I need done and why. Dr. Young explained to me why I need a filling placed and showed me what it looks like on their X-​ray system on the TV. She did not judge or lecture me for not coming in sooner or being regular about my cleanings and I actually felt comfortable with her. I’ve been to a lot of dentists, but appreciated how genuine she was and did not talk down to me. She took 30 minutes to explain everything to me and even show me videos on an iPad to help explain. After all that explanation I felt comfortable enough to schedule an appointment to have the filling done.
The day of the filling went as smooth as butter, Dr. Young did not start on anything until I felt relaxed with paraffin and noise canceling headphones, she was the first dentist did not rush me into treatment!
I did not feel the SHOT and she was done before I finished watching my TV show :)
What surprised me the most was that Dr. Young called me later that evening to check up on me… what?! I’ve never had a dentist do that! All of these reasons are why I have taken the time to write this review, definitely I will be going back, I just wish I would have gone in sooner.

Just took my twin daughters (3-​years-​old) for their first cleaning with Dr. Oleg and he did an amazing job. He was patient and made sure they were comfortable. A great first experience!
I appreciated the follow-​up call the next day to make sure the girls enjoyed their experience. Glad we found a Dentist that can take care of the entire family.

Dr. was personable and took the time to answer all my questions. I was surprised at how comprehensive the exam was when they measured all my teeth. This is something my last dentist didn’t do.
They got me in right away to do some work I’d been putting off. Friendly efficient staff made me feel comfortable for my 1^st visit. Hygienist did a great job without inflicting pain.
After having some work done on my teeth I was quite surprised when the dentist personally gave me a call that same evening to see how I was doing. I think I’ve found my new dentist and so far I can recommend this place without any reservations.

I have been going to Dr Schmedding’s office for about 6 years and enjoy the Dr and his staff so much that when I moved into the city from Issaquah this year I traveled to the 20 miles to see Dr Schmedding. That’s how much I trusted him. When I heard that Dr Schmedding was selling the practice I was sad but knew that I’d be in good hands if he was entrusting a practice he took years to build to Dr Oleg.
Had two fillings performed by Dr Oleg yesterday afternoon and it feels like it never happened. What impressed me the most was the call I received from Dr Oleg last night checking up on me to make sure I wasn’t having any issues.
