Terry M. Wong , DDS

Dr. Terry Wong has nearly 45 years of experience in the industry, and it shows. I didn’t think there was anything wrong with the dentist I had been going to in Renton before I started seeing Dr. Wong, but the experience just doesn’t compare. Dr. Wong is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and picky. Yes, picky, but in a very good way. I’ve never had any serious dental issues because I take pretty good care of my mouth, so I really only see dentists for routine cleanings for the most part, but getting my mouth cleaned by Dr. Wong has been awesome. His clinic is well-​equipped to give you the best cleaning job possible, and he is meticulous. He takes a lot of pride in that. He is also educational and has taught me a lot of things about my mouth and mouths in general that other dentists have not. If he sees something that is or might be an issue in the future, he alerts you to it and gives you helpful advice instead of scaring you into doing any procedures you don’t need.
He’s also very nice. He’s comfortable to be in a clinic with. He treats you like a person, not just a patient. He is careful not to hurt his patients in any way.
The rest of the clinic staff is also a pleasure to deal with. Everyone is personable and professional. I enjoy talking to Ann, the hygienist, about restaurants in the area!
I’m really glad I started going to Dr. Wong. I’ll be a long-​time patient!

Terry is the greatest. I met him through my work and just started asking dental questions. I was looking for a new dentist.
I made an appt and am so happy with his office. They are in the ID and he has a great staff. He is so truly UNbored with dentistry and his job I am almost shocked every time I see him. So enthusiastic and smart. And he’s an athlete and has an interesting life which makes him nice to talk to. Highly recommend.
Also, I am a nut about my teeth and a dental snob. He gets it. Trust me, you will love him!

There is not much more that I can add to what the few reviews/​reviewers have said about Dr. Wong other than that I feel completely relaxed when I’m here for my regular routine visits here. Wow, how’s that for a sentence?
I really can’t thank my best friend enough for recommending Dr. Wong to me — he is meticulous about his work and has a really great chair side manner! He is also up-​to-​date on new techniques and if there is something that is not in his scope of expertise, he will refer you to another specialist who is equally meticulous and tops in their field. I am also impressed with his friendly and professional staff! Another bonus is the fact that his practice is a five minute walk from my office!
He is one of the very few native Seattleites that I’ve come across and we actually share the same high school and college alma mater! We always have time to shoot the breeze about our beloved Huskies! GO DAWGS!
Doctor, is he? Out like a light bulb!

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Wong for a few years now, having been recommended to his office by a friend. We have been very satisfied with the service we have received there.
I once heard someone describe her own (different) dentist as being «conservative about when to do procedures,» and that would definitely also describe Dr. Wong. After a horrible experience with a (different different) dentist who seemed to want replace every old filling, cap every tooth and canal every root «just in case,» I really appreciate Dr. Wong’s approach which is to only recommend those procedures that are absolutely necessary. In his mind if, for example, an old filling is not bothering you, it is probably ok staying put until it does (which might end up being never). However, he does, of course, let you know when in his professional opinion a given procedure should be done.
His is a small practice and that is another big plus. Both he and is staff really get to know each patient. You are treated like a real person and not just a set of teeth, a Patient ID or a source of potential income.
The downside of this is his hours are pretty limited. But, we’ve seldom had problems getting an appointment at a day/​time that works for us within a reasonable period of time.
Sadly, Dr, Wong’s office does not accept our new dental insurance and so we are being forced to seek out a new dentist. I know it will be very hard to find another we like as well.

Since my dentist in the Bay Area pretty much sucked, I wanted to go back to what I was comfortable with … my childhood dentist. Had everything from my baby teeth pulled to getting all my wisdom teeth removed. I had gone to them before they had expanded their practice and it’s just as I remember. Great service and advises me on how my teeth could be better. Did you know that gargling Listerine for 2 – 5 minutes (like I used to do every morning) burns the inside of your mouth? I was totally shocked and never heard this info from any of my Bay Area dentists. Anyway, his wife Karen still works there manning the Reception area and I think they are just super. :)
