Banner Dental

This place is amazing. It’s like dentistry for the modern-​day person who wants quality care and doesn’t want to make conversation with dental instruments in her mouth. My cleaning didn’t hurt at all, and I have kind of sensitive areas. They even have Netflix to watch during your procedures, so it’s like a trip to the movies sans popcorn. I truly loved the thoroughness of my cleaning and the visit from the dentist who took the time to show me my Xrays and explain any areas of concern. There was no up-​sell either, which I feel like happens more and more in this industry. All in all, a wonderful experience and staff!

My husband and I both recently had our first appointments at Banner Dental and found it to be a good experience. Dr. Banner and his staff were all very respectful, knowledgeable and thorough. The facilities were new and clean, and Dr. Banner took the time to explain his process, how our teeth were doing and identify problem areas that we should pay attention to and how to prevent them from getting worse. His cleaning was gentle but thorough, and his staff were very attentive.

I loved my experience at Banner Dental (yes, I’m one of THOSE people who actually enjoys going to the dentist…). As a fairly recent transplant to Seattle, I was looking for a dentist for an annual checkup, and found Banner Dental in my network, so decided to give it a try.
I thought the whole staff was professional yet friendly. Dr. Banner himself took the time to get to know me as a new patient, talked me through how the appointment was going to go, and made me feel comfortable. The other staff members — receptionist, hygienist, and radiologist — also were very personable, contributing to a positive experience. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that you’re able to watch Netflix while getting your teeth cleaned and examined! What’s up, Gilmore Girls.
I’m happy to have found Banner Dental, and plan to continue seeing Dr. Banner.

I *really* like this place, for so many reasons. First of all, I have some serious anxiety around dental work, so for me to give a dentist five stars is saying something. Dr. Banner is personable, knowledgeable, and immediately put me at ease with his relaxed, friendly manner, and his good listening skills, which is a must!
All the staff are very caring and friendly. They are efficient and timely, but I never felt rushed, or that they were anything less than 100% attentive. I have been there three times now, so I can say that this is consistently so. I had some work done, which I was pretty nervous about… well, I starting crying on my third visit, so you get the picture. Dr. Banner was SUPER mindful of my anxiety, explaining everything as he went, and being very careful in every way he could to not cause me any pain. They have TV screens and Netflix, so you can watch something to distract you from what’s going on in your mouth, which is great for lengthy procedures. I chose to watch Jiro Dreams of Sushi, which I have been wanting to see for a long time. Watching someone slice through raw fish with razor sharp knives while you are having dental work done might not be the best idea though, so don’t follow my example…
On my second visit, Darlene, the receptionist, helped me wade through insurance paperwork, letting me know what was what. Super helpful. On that same visit, I had a deep cleaning… under the gum line — see, that’s what you get when you have anxiety around dental work and don’t go to the dentist for a LONG TIME (remember that don’t follow my example bit?). The hygienist was so sweet — she actually reminded me of one of my nieces. She clearly knew what she was doing, and was kind and respectful of my nervousness, and did a great job.
On my last visit, as I was leaving, I ended up chatting with Dr. Banner’s wife, who happened to be there, and Darlene, the receptionist, and it was lovely. They all have great senses of humor, and are kind. It was just a great experience, as far as dentist visits go ;-). And I love a family-​run business. And by the way, they are all young, so I’m hoping Dr. Banner won’t retire for a good long time! Nothing but good things to say. I have found my new dentist.

This is a relatively new place, so I’ve just been here once for my first exam, xrays, and cleaning, but it seems like a great place that does quality work. I always prefer to learn more about how to better clean my teeth to avoid costly procedures later, and this office gave me a few tips and even a special brush for my gumline that I didn’t know about before which should help. The staff were all attentive and made sure I was up to speed on everything they were checking out and making notes of. The cleaning seemed pretty thorough, and I would say substantially less painful than my typical one. The prices seem a little high for visits after your first one (they currently have a special going on) but from what I’ve heard so far, it sounds fairly typical for the area (still, about 60% more than what I used to pay at my hole-​in-​the-​wall dentist in the SF Bay Area). Not sure why dental work costs vary so much from city to city… I have always lived in fairly high-​cost areas. Anyway, if they can help me avoid cavities and expensive surgery, then I suppose that is the most important consideration.

I’m relatively new to Seattle and needed to find a dentist. I’m glad I found Dr Banner. The stellar reviews on Unilocal are all right on. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgable. The office is new and clean. They are the most technologically advanced dentist I’ve ever been to. The digital X-​rays were cool to see pop up seconds after they were taken. They even have flat screen tvs above the dental chairs so the dr can explain the X-​rays and digital photos of your teeth on the big screen. Overall a great experience. I definitely recommend um.

Hi fellow Unilocalers, we meet again. If you’re like me, you’ll spend your time Unilocaling about an extra-​ordinary experience, so here’s one about a trip to see the dentist.
When I arrived, I received a friendly greeting, some friendly forms and had myself a sit in a sleek, modern and comfortable living room. Despite the 80-​degree day, I appreciated the sentiment of a fireplace. I spent the next 10 minutes crossing out medical concerns, fumbling through my contacts for my emergency individual and, of course, discussing facial care. Standard «dentist stuff», uniquely blending efficiency with competency-​based procedures inclusive of thorough care, discussions and recommendations.
If you’re looking for a team of knowledgeable, approachable and happy professionals, check out Banner Dental. Also note the location is central for the north end of Seattle, a quick walk to Green Lake and completely accessible in the Greenwood neighborhood.

Hands down, the best dental experience we’ve ever had. The staff are professional, respectful, easy to communicate with. Darlene is a pure joy.
Dr. Banner is awesome as well. They have top notch technology and he pairs it with the right amount of details and explanation. He took a photograph of my teeth — the first time I’ve ever had that done and it was amazing.
The office is calming and very pleasant. Overall, a great experience.

I was here last Monday to claim the coupon special, for a cleaning, X-​Ray and exam.
The place is immaculate and Darlene the receptionist was perfectly lovely and helpful in explaining everything. They let me pick something on Netflix on the TV above me while I waited which wasn’t long.
Dr. Banner met with me right away and gave me a run down of what to expect. Then I went to get x-​rays, and it was quick and not painful as I experienced elsewhere. She took about 16 – 17 different angles and I could see them right away. They also photographed my teeth which is a first for me. Now I could see the inside up close!
The cleaning and exam went faster than I expected but I was pleased that he took note of the things bothering me most, prescribed what I needed and now I am scheduled for my first bit of work next week. They even gave me a little goody bag and mailed a thank you letter. This place is better than any other dentist I’ve been to.

Awesome dentist!!!
I am out here on my honeymoon with my husband and I had really bad tooth pain that radiated up my cheek.
I called the same day in the morning and asked to be seen. The receptionist Darlene was so friendly and welcoming over the phone that I was not afraid to go to my appointment, not only that I was able to be seen at 10am 2 hours after I called and they were already fully booked!
The staff truly cared about my well being.
When I got to my appointment I was welcomed with a warm smile and the office is so clean!!! I’m a clean freak so cleanliness is something I notice first!
The staff was friendly, welcoming and sympathetic towards my situation.
The doctor was very informative and gave us options, he wasn’t just set on telling us one thing, he let us make the choice and even recommended dentist in my area! I am so happy with my visit. I’m coming back on Thursday for a cleaning!
Thank you Dr. Banner and staff!

I found my dentist!
I did a search for dentists in Seattle and found Dr. Banner. I read some reviews and this guy is legit.
His office and facilities are über clean and modern. I hadn’t been to a dentist in a few years and wasn’t necessarily looking forward to it.
Dr. Banner and his staff are super friendly and professional, and they made me feel at ease.
— X-​Rays: they’re digital. Fewer are required and I could see the results in real time.
— Check-​up & cleaning: quick, easy, and painless.
— Questions I had were answered entirely, and in a way I could completely understand.
They also have in-​house teeth whitening which is quick and as inexpensive as I’ve seen.
I researched other dentists, and I’m sure they do a fine job. It’s just that the going rate in this area for new patient x-​rays, checkup, and cleaning is $ 300−340ish.
Dr. Banner’s new patient rate of $ 75 just made it a much easier decision.

Dr. Banner is the greatest! I went in because he’s in my neighborhood and he has Saturday hours. He has a calmimg manner — a fine quality in a dentist. I particularly liked that he explained exactly what he was doing as he went. His staff was quite good as well. All in all, it was the most positive experience I’ve ever had at the dentist. Thanks Banner Dental!

I needed a new dentist after my old one retired. It was great finding a new one so close and convenient to where I live.
Upon walking it, one can’t help but notice everything is brand new. They really go out of their way to make the patient comfortable. I’ve never been in a private patient suite before. Dr. Banner and his staff were great: on time, efficient and handled everything with the utmost of care. His communication style is nice, too. As he’s talking to his staff, he was also letting me know what was going on and easing any concerns I may have had.
Prior to my appointment, I was not sure if I would switch my family over to Dr. Banner, but after today, I have nothing but the utmost confidence that his practice will be where we go for a long time.

I had a great experience – the staff are friendly and professional, they are very gentle and kind with your teeth and really make an effort to get to know you. Dr. Banner checks in to assess if you’re nervous or address any concerns you might have, then explains everything he’s doing (and why) while he has you in the chair. The office is warm and updated (I love that, no cold walls or floors) and they don’t even turn on the overhead lights – so you aren’t blinded by fluorescents. Instead, they give you sunglasses (gotta have shades) and they use headlamps to work in your mouth (thank you!). Best part is, he can show you instant photos of your teeth, so you can see what they look like – I’ve never had a dentist do that – and it was so helpful to be able to see what they see and discuss any concerns together. Convenient location and easy parking. I’ll definitely be back.

My husband and I had fantastic experiences here. Everyone in the office is great at what they do. After receiving a really unprofessional visit to a previous dentist, I was super nervous about this appointment! I became much more relaxed after meeting Dr. Banner and interacting with his staff. I would recommend their office to anyone; you will be in good hands with professionals you can trust!

What a great place! It’s been along time since I have done a trip to the dentist but i was very happy with my experience here, great friendly and knowledgable staff, beautiful office with a very welcoming feel it feels very clean and homey, the Dr was very gentle and nice, all around amazing experience and for once in my life I’m looking forward to coming back to the dentist :-) A+!

After postponing setting myself up with a dentist in Seattle (I moved back in late 2013), I finally decided to go for it and make an appointment. This was an overall good experience, with friendly staff in a laid-​back and open environment. I felt involved in the process and in my care, and I’m so happy the office is in my neighborhood.
To be completely fair, I’m not a person who has ever had apprehension about visiting the dentist and having my teeth worked on, so I might be biased in that sense. However, up until the past few years, I was always someone who would go regularly to the dentist, and now I can actually look forward to my next appointment again.

I’m very apprehensive about going to the dentist and as a result, I put it off for years. My first exam and cleaning in years was a good experience thanks to Dr. Banner.
The office is bright, clean and welcoming. The exam and cleaning itself was painless, even the part where they measure your pockets, which I dread the most. Dr. Banner and his staff put me at ease immediately by distracting me and I really appreciated it. He has a TV mounted up above and you can watch a movie or TV show on Netflix.
What impressed me the most was how considerate they were of my fear and pain level, which was high on that day. As a former smoker, they didn’t lecture me at all, which I appreciated.

Went in for a routine cleaning and check-​up and was quite impressed. Highly competent dentist and staff here. New patient special is quite reasonably priced as well.

What a fabulous experience. Just completed my first appt with Dr. Banner in Greenwood. My experience was refreshing. Gorgeous, comfortable office. Pleasant experience with the staff and most importantly a clear, honest conversation with the dentist. We established a clear assessment and dental plan tailored for me.
Overall a phenomenal experience and I highly recommend Banner Dental!
