I feel so fortunate to have found Creekside Dental. When we moved back to the area 15 years ago, I called dental labs to ask who they would recommend as a dentist. They recommended Dr. Hanson for the excellent crown prep that he does. Since I wasn't blessed with good teeth, it was essential for me to find a highly competent and professional dentist. Dr. Hanson goes above and beyond to listen to a patient's concerns, recommend other top professionals when needed for additional services, and calm all fears.
He has helped me to have a much more functional and attractive bite. His staff is superb: they are friendly, gentle, understanding, highly professional, and just as nice as can be. In fact, I know of retired dental hygienists who choose Creekside Dental. I highly recommend this practice.

My family and I have been patients here for 17+ years and never had a more professional dental office than what we have with Creekside Dental. Everyone in the office is always friendly and extremely talented. I've had my share of dishonest dentists, so much, that I had become skeptical of the entire dental trade. Dishonest dentists would, on almost every visit, say that I needed a cavity to be filled, or the like.
You wouldn't question them because they were the "professional" and you expected them to honestly tell you what needed to be done. Besides, you couldn't see very well inside your mouth, so they could tell you anything they wanted. It felt as if I was getting blindsided. Until I met Janine, the hygienist who worked for Dr. Hanson. She told me about Dr. Hanson, how talented and conscientious he was about his work in the dental field.
We had just moved to the Salmon Creek area and I was, begrudgingly, looking for a family dentist. It turns out that Creekside Dental Office was just down the street from our new house.bonus! I took Janine's advice and booked an appointment with them. What I noticed first was how friendly the front staff (Sally) was and how comfortable she made me. Janine took me back to clean my teeth and I was impressed by how maticulous she was with the cleaning. Dr. Hanson's hygienists don't just clean your teeth.
They inspect and measure the condition of the gums around your teeth. Furthermore, they gave me instructions on "how" to brush my teeth and advice on how to manage my gum line. Never in my past has anyone ever told me the proper way to brush my teeth! With every subsequent hygienist appointment, they would tell me the condition of my teeth/gums, how to clean it better and why it was important to have good teeth/gums because it was good for your overall health! Dr. David Hanson, a very friendly and unassuming dentist.
When it came to looking at my teeth, he performed a very comprehensive exam and inspection.(He even looked around and underneath my tongue, which no dentist has ever done before!) Furthermore, he even delved into the rest of my health and other medical conditions, and what medicines I was taking. When Dr. Hanson was concerned about something, he would bring out his oral scope and show you on the pc monitor where the disease was.
I especially appreciated that. Gives me trust and belief in Dr. Hanson's skills and diagnostic abilities, and not some sham trying to take my money. The entire staff is amazing. always there when you need something (or need a reschedule! :D ) I've been going here for so long, I feel like family! Shoutouts to Jennifer, Mandy an Robin! This dental office is TOP NOTCH! Best in the Pacific NW. Without a doubt, a FIVE STAR rating.

Dr. Hansen and his team are excellent at their profession. Our family has been patients for more than 10 years. Personally, the care and direction I have received, have reversed gum health issues. I have only had 2 cavities in my life, but the gum health issue was something I didn't understand and they helped empower me to improve my dental health. Highly recommend them if you are looking for a dental provider.

Was looking for a new dentist and decided to try Creekside out. My main reason for seeking a new dentist was actually to find a new dental hygienist. In the last 28 years this is the 3rd dental practice that I have visited and I'm sure that I will be coming back here for many years to come. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming. I was very happy with the service that I received from Dr. Hanson and the dental hygienist. My husband even switched to Creekside Dental after I had my first teeth cleaning.

It doesn't matter if you stop in to schedule an appointment, get your teeth cleaned, get a filling or a crown. From start to finish Creekside Dental is the best of the best. I was recommended by two close friends and now I recommend all of mine. Dr. Hanson is the best Dentist I have ever had care from & will be our family dentist until he decides to retire one day.

Our family of five has enjoyed Creekside Dental's professional excellence and refreshing atmosphere for several years. Twice we've had to go elsewhere because of moving or insurance issues, but we returned to Creekside as soon as we could. No place else has their magic recipe for the best experience with a dental office we've ever had. Everyone there is top notch: efficient & warm, knowledgable & engaging.
The office staff handle everything beautifully. The assistants and hygienists are fantastic. The equipment and techniques are state-of-the-art. And Dr. Hanson is the best dentist we've ever encountered. At Creekside Dental our family feels perfectly cared for and at ease.
