We would kindly ask you to fill out the patient registration and medical history online or arrive early to complete those forms in the office. We’ll then start with intraoral photos and diagnostic x-rays to determine how healthy your teeth and gums are, and if you need any dental treatment. If you have recent x-rays taken at your previous dental office, please email them prior to your appointment to birchdentistry@gmail.com.

We see children of all ages for preventive, minor restorative procedures and early orthodontics. If a child needs extensive dental intervention or cannot tolerate treatment well, we refer to a pediatric dentist.
We accept most dental insurance plans provided through employment or purchased individually. Simply send us a picture of the front and back of your insurance card, name, date of birth of the subscriber and the patient and we will be happy to check your coverage.
Yes! We have special offers and promotions for patients without dental insurance.
Unfortunately, we do not.
ICHS, Sea Mar, King County Public Health, NeighborCare and University of Washington Dental School are some of the clinics that operate on state and federal grants and provide dental care for the patients covered under those insurance plans.
Sometimes additional coverage could be purchased that would allow Medicare patients to use any dental provider in the area.
Please don't assume that our services are not covered or that your costs will increase if you see a dentist out-of-network. We still check your benefits, submit claims and work with your insurance to maximize dental benefits. We priced our services in the way that for many patients out-of-network coverage is as good as in-network coverage.
Many general dentists and specialists in our area are going out of network.
Dental insurance companies have become increasingly difficult to work with. They impose a massive administrative burden on dental practices, reduce previously negotiated low reimbursement fees, refuse to pay for “covered” procedures and encourage dentists to shorten the appointment times. We often spend hours battling automated phone systems to get paid for even the most routine claims and wait for months for those payments. Some insurance companies have eliminated call centers and now AI is determining the necessity of your dental treatment.
We are committed to providing high quality dental care, state-of-the-art technology, great dental materials, and qualified labor in the safest possible environment regardless of what insurances come into play. We treat you as we would treat a family member.
We recommend routine exams every six months to help us closely monitor your oral health and catch problems before they become serious and costly.
We are a full-service dental clinic that provides preventive, restorative, cosmetic, periodontic, endodontic, orthodontic, surgical and implant dentistry for the whole family. Please, visit our services section for more information.
For some challenging dental cases, we refer our patients to highly trained and experienced specialists in the area.
