Dental Clinic
Located just outside of Seattle in Kirkland, Washington, the Dental Clinic at Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWTech) offers quality dental care to the general public. The clinic is staffed by dental professionals that include licensed dentists, licensed dental hygienists, certified dental assistants, and students serving your oral health care needs.
Appointments
Please be advised that new adult patient exams are by appointment and usually take two to three visits. Initial cleaning appointments may take one to four visits. Restorative appointments range from one to three hours.
Our restorative appointments (fillings, root canals, crowns and bridges) may need to be scheduled months ahead of time due to the number of patients we see. Sometimes extractions and root canals will be referred to another facility in order to complete them in a timely manner.
Please plan to arrive early to update your health history, if needed, and make any changes in address, phone number or insurance. Also bring your insurance card or current DSHS card with you.
The clinic is able to take emergencies on a limited case-by-case basis.
