Steven Prince, DMD

HONEST dentistry. I always recommend to my friends and won’t let my family go anywhere else.

Dr Prince is a very good dentist, it is his staff that could use some work. Since his long-​time staff member Piper leaving and Receptionist Hailey also leaving the office staff is cold and unpersonable. Espeically Bettina, she is cold and not a warm bone in her body. She called repeatedly telling me that I had no option but to pay the $ 1400.00 for my bridge when I have insurance.

Great, and very fair dentist. Doesn’t try to sell you on work you don’t need, but tells you what’s happening in your mouth, perfect balance as far as I’m concerned. The office has an enviroment that feels inviting and warm (like you’re visiting a friend instead of going to the dentist) and very professional and attentive staff (no employees that are too busy chatting with each other to be bothered to take care of patients, you know what I mean)
Highly recommend you go, just pop into the waiting room and you’ll see what I mean.
P. S. (not sure what that expensive comment was about, I went to a dentist in Bellevue that was WAYYY more expensive, FYI)

Dr. Prince is professional, personable, and a talented dentist. I recommended Dr. Prince to my husband my friends, too. It’s such a relief to have found a good dentist.

This is the most expensive dentist that I have ever encountered.
I went in for a cleaning and was told I had zero cavities. I went home and a week later, I was convinced I had a cavity so I went back and Dr. Prince said I just needed my sealents redone, so I made an appointment and went back. When I went back for my sealents to be redone, the dentist drilled into my tooth and then since I was squirming in pain, he decided it must be a cavity and filled it without painkillers. He also found one other cavity to fill while I was there.
I received a bill a few weeks later and I was charged $ 80 for the five minute appointment where he gave me the wrong diagnosis and then I was charged about $ 400 per filling which only took him 15 minutes for two. Most dentists charge about $ 160 per filling that they have properly diagnosed at the cleaning appointment. Furthermore, who charges $ 80 for an appointment about something he missed? And for 5 minutes? That is $ 960/​hour. Obscene.
I ended up not having to pay my bill, but it was really stressful getting such a high bill without any warning and having their temporary billing lady tell me off for asking about the charges. It also was pretty painful to get two fillings done with no drugs or warning. OH, and six months later, one filling already fell out.

I just moved to Seattle a little more than a year ago and I had to find a good dentist. I asked my coworkers about someone in downtown area and they all recommended Dr Prince. I am glad I went there. He is my favourite dentist now. To be honest, I do not have a godd history about my teeth. My first control with him was through and enlightening. He did not suggest doing anything unnecessary which was really important to me. Also, people working there are amazing. Receptionists remember me every time I go there and even remember the people I referred. I do not hesitate recommending him to anyone.

I was never a fan of the dentist. I thought it was a cover so that sadomasochist could get their kicks. Now I’m actually excited to go.
Everyone in Dr. Princes office put me at east on my first visit and I’ve been going their regularly for more than 2 years now.
I swear they must be jotting down personal notes about us, because we always pick up on our conversation from 6 months prior, like it was just last week.
The trips are quick, easy and pain free. I haven’t had any work done, besides gentle cleanings, in eons. Love it there!

Dr. Prince’s high recommendations should be heeded — he and all of his staff have been nothing but friendly, efficient, helpful, and accommodating. The office is well-​run, and they provide excellent care. I can’t recommend them more.

I just returned from my visit to Dr. Prince’s office and don’t even know where to start. First, I have a crazy busy travel schedule and the staff has been patient and helpful with me having to change appointments a couple of times.
I finally got there today and I can’t believe I’m actually saying this, but «I enjoyed my visit to the dentist.» Dr. Prince spent some extra time with me discussing my dental issues (unfortunately, I’ve always had a lot of them) and spent time discussing what I needed to do going forward without coming across as a lecture like many dentists do.
Thank you fellow Unilocalers for the positive reviews of Dr. Prince so I could find him. He’s the first dentist I’ve ever had that I will return to on a regular basis.

I am not crazy about the dentist, and my partner actively is dentist-​phobic. Since we found Dr. Prince a few years ago, we haven’t been procrastinating our check-​ups any more. His staff have been uniformly awesome, gentle while cleaning my teeth, organized and quick. I openly admit that I am not the most reliable flosser out there and I appreciate that Dr. Prince’s staff fall into the «gentle reminder» category about this situation, instead of the «your teeth will rot out of your mouth tomorrow» or «you must have missed the flossing lessons back when you were 6» categories. Here’s also what I appreciate: it seems like every dentist I’ve had previously kept coming up with stuff I needed done. Like, «Let’s get rid of all those amalgam fillings!» or «Sealants. They aren’t just for kids anymore, and by the way they aren’t covered by your insurance.» Not being a dentist, I believed them when they told me that this was standard practice. Dr. Prince checks my teeth, tells me everything is looking good, or tells me I have a legitimate problem. While Dr. Prince isn’t a discount dentist, my bills have gone down just because I’m only getting the work done that I really need.
While, like most dentists, their appointments fill up well in advance, Dr. Prince’s office staff have been awesome at handling some last-​minute changes we’ve needed to make in our appointments over the years.

Dr, Prince did a fantastic job on my 2 new shiny white fillings. He is very gentle so I barely had any pain after keeping my mouth open for over 2 hrs.

My wife and I visited Dr. Prince for the first time recently. For first-​time patients, they schedule you for 30 minutes with the dentist and 60 minutes with the hygenist. They also do a whole set of about 20 x-​rays. Even my wife, who has a particularly strong aversion to dentists, liked Dr. Prince and said they did not hurt her. We both felt like they did a very thorough job of cleaning our teeth, more so than other dentists’ offices we have visited. I believe the bill was around $ 300 per person (covered 100% by our Delta Dental insurance).
His office is ½ block from the University Street bus tunnel station. If you’re driving, you can park at the Cobb Building around the corner.

Followed the other Unilocal reviews to Dr. Prince and have been just as impressed as everyone else. Nice environment (cool old building), competent and friendly hygienists, etc. I especially like the nice view from the chair – it’s great to be able to look at something pleasant while trying to forget you’re at the dentist’s office. Last time I went in, Dr. Prince was very generous and patient about answering some wisdom teeth questions – even though he wasn’t the one who was going to do the removal and wasn’t at all required to be so helpful and informative.

It’s as good as a trip to the denist can get. Great staff, great location, lovely building, and my teeth are in great shape.

Fantastic first visit at Dr. Prince’s office.
The hygienist treated my teeth great — no pain at all. She’s continuing some advanced dental school and seemed truly interested in making sure my teeth were in good shape.
I met briefly with Dr. Prince after the hygienist finished cleaning my teeth. His genial personality smoothed over my concerns about leaving my previous dentist of 20 years.
I’ll continue checkups at Dr. Prince’s office — great location and a dedicated staff.

Ditto Ditto Ditto!
The Gang at Steven Prince Dentistry are fantastic. I was a new patient, now I’m a regular.
The office is located on the 13^th floor looking out over the water. A spectacular view, and spacious. Decent reading material in the waiting room. No screaming could be heard while I was waiting, always a plus.
I was welcomed back by Kelly a Dental Hygienist. Very kind, knowledgeable, and gentle on my teeth. I never felt like she was pushing products on me, like some places. My X rays were done with a digital sensor thing, radiation levels at a 10^th of the regular film types. It was fast, painless, and once finished, my teeth were on a computer screen. It was great.
After the cleaning and the X rays, Dr. Prince came in to introduce himself and do the final check. I would classify him as a very congenial man with a respect for his clients and an easy smile. Once again he wasn’t pushy with products, and I didn’t feel rushed when I was asking him questions.
Overall, A++ experience.

I needed a new dentist since changing jobs, and I actually found Dr. Prince on Unilocal (thanks for the review, Sarah!).
It was great — everyone there was incredibly nice, I got to watch Goldfinger while getting my teeths cleaned, and it was only 2 blocks away from work. It was pretty much stress-​free. Sweet.

I’ve never really had a problem going to the dentist’s office. Always a clean bill for me, but I know I’m lucky. But I did also bring the boy and he avoids dentists like the plague.
The experience for both of us was great. First off, he has the friendliest and accommodating staff. They were able to book us together on a lunch hour which was perfect for us. Secondly, this office is beautiful. I mean the building is breathtaking and the views are spectacular. Something I wouldn’t have expected at a dentist office.
Dr. Prince is an incredible dentist. Courteous, caring and informative. His staff of assistants are also all very personable and well-​trained. What was incredible about the whole experience is that he goes the extra mile. Not just a simple cleaning but a thorough exam. I was impressed. The boy also was pretty impressed with the entire ordeal.
And for the price, I was also impressed. I really highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist that really cares about his patients.
I’ve stayed with this dentist and will continue to do so because he’s just that good. They were able to give us a Saturday appt. together which was so accommodating. Another great visit and they are very good at notifying you when another cleaning is in order.
