We will make every effort to extend the care, concern, and quality of treatment that your health deserves. Dentistry encompasses array of services and procedures with a common goal: to help you to preserve your natural teeth, ensure your oral health, and keep you looking and feeling great. Oral (maxillofacial) surgery is used to treat diseases and conditions in the head-mostly the face and jaw.

Restorative dentistry procedures restore your smile by repairing or replacing damaged or diseased teeth. Throughout our website, you will find an abundance of information about our practice, procedures we provide, and dentistry in general. Please explore and learn as much about dentistry and our services as you desire.
Services
Rick grew up in the South Puget Sound after moving to Parkland/Spanaway from Seoul, South Korea as an infant. His family established Lieu's Chinese restaurant in Parkland. When he wasn't helping at the restaurant, Dr. Lieu loved playing tennis. Rick graduated from Washington High School in Parkland in 1992.
It includes descriptions of our office location, including a map and directions, hours, appointment scheduling, insurance acceptance and billing policies. We are proud to provide a state-of-the-art facility for the highest quality dental care available. It is one of our top priorities to protect the well-being of our valued patients.
When it comes to your oral health it's important that you find a family dentist that the whole family can trust. Here at Rick Lieu Dental Care we pride ourselves on giving everyone the unique dental experience they deserve, whether it's making sure your child hits each developmental milestone or whether you need superior custom-fitted dentures that will be able to replace your missing teeth.
Restorative dentistry is an umbrella term for any dental procedure which focuses on restoring the mouth's functionality and appearance. While restorative dentistry does not fall under its own specific dental specialization, many of the procedures are included under other specialties.

The goal of any dental procedure, including restorative dental procedures, is to preserve as much of the natural tooth both underneath and above the gum line as possible.Restorative dental procedures are often used in conjunction with one another to achieve the patient's desired results.
Oral surgery has been used on patients since ancient and medieval times. Today it is a common procedure performed daily in dentist offices across America. Surgery is necessary when there are dental problems that can't be resolved with cleanings, scaling or other non-invasive treatments. Oral surgeons use X-rays to pinpoint the problem within the gums, jaw, bone tissue or teeth, and resolve them with surgical procedures at the dentist's office.

With my husband and I needing a dentist in this area we googled and found Dr. Lieu, made appointments and went from there. Everything was smooth, our exams and cleanings completed and our next appointments made. We like this dentist well enough but he could be a bit more personable. We were spoiled by our friendly dentist in Southern California.

Had to get a tooth extracted and the process couldn't have been easier. I usually dread getting my mouth numbed more than an extraction but wow, this went super smooth. The staff and doctor were extremely nice and helpful as well. Overall, the experience was great and I'd highly recommend them.

Rick and the staff are the best. Never any pain nor discomfort. Always just the highest professionalism and pleasant environment in Dr. Lieu's office. No better dentist in the south hill area.

Both hygienist and dentist were gentle and attentive to my comfort. They also explained procedures and results during the exam. If you've ever had apprehension about going to the dentist, you won't experience it at Dr. Lieu's office. Everyone is kind and accommodating.

I will be honest. Going to the dentist is NOT my favorite thing to do. I do it because I have to for my health, dental and otherwise. This office makes it a pleasant experience. And it was the best cleaning I've had in a very long time. Everyone is very nice and really enjoys their job. I think they know people would really rather be elsewhere, thus they strive to make it as pain free and pleasant as they can and they are successful!

We love it here. Everyone is so sweet and very welcoming. Tiffany is so friendly and funny. Gina cleans our teeth and is so personable and efficient. We love seeing both women at our appointments. Our one year old had her first appointment today and they made sure she was comfortable and well taken care of. We highly recommend Dr. Lieu and his staff.

Dr Lieu and his staff are great!! I have always been pleased every step of the way in the treatment of myself and my children. Very little pain experienced with our treatments. Each visit is explained thoroughly. I would recommend Dr Lieu to anybody residing in the Puyallup and surrounding areas.

I love this place! I've gone to this office since I was a kid and Dr. Pratt was there. Dr. Lieu is the dentist now and he is awesome and so personable. His entire staff is great. Some places are so sterile and cold- this place feels cozy and everyone feels like family. It's actually a fun place to go! Who says that about their dental appointments?? :)
