Defiance Dental Studio
Discover the 'un-dental' experience at Defiance Dental Studio. Drs. AJ Sekhon and Christina Donnelly offer personalized dental care, with a gentle touch, in a relaxing studio environment right by scenic Point Defiance Park, serving the Ruston and Tacoma communities. At our studio, you're not a patient, you're a guest.

And we want to make every moment of your dental experience with us as comfortable and relaxing as possible. Our goal is to take any anxiousness out from "going to the dentist" and turn it into a comforting experience that will also keep your teeth looking and feeling great.
Services
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
Dental skill with compassion and a gentle touch is what Tacoma dentist Dr. Ajaipal Sekhon brings to his patients at the Defiance Dental Studio. And helping his patients feel at ease is something he takes to heart. In fact, it's a big reason he founded the studio.

Coming from a family of dental and medical providers, Dr. Sekhon knows firsthand that it's not only about giving patients skilled dental services, it's also about earning their trust through compassionate care and a friendly "chairside" manner.It's a combination of all these things that helps to ensure that every patient at Defiance Dental Studio receives a positive experience.
A bridge may be used to replace missing teeth, help maintain the shape of your face, and alleviate stress on your bite. A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. Your bridge can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials, and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support.
When you first meet Dr. Christina Donnelly, you quickly discover what a keen sense of humor she has, which helps put her patients at ease. This Arizona native left the sunny desert environs of Mesa to attend school in the gray and wet Pacific Northwest. She was attracted to the difference in weather and actually savors the wet climate.
At Defiance Dental Studio, we believe that a strong sense of community not only brings people together, it also lets people know that they have others around them who they can count on. Working and living within the Ruston and North Tacoma area, our staff is dedicated to being the Tacoma dentist our community can rely upon for excellent dental services.

Dr. Sekhon and staff are amazing. One of the best dental experiences ever. I had a broken tooth that needed a crown. They were patient, professional and explained every step. I highly recommend Defiance Dental Studio.

I want to share with everyone what makes this an exceptional business. It could be because they are experienced, well-trained, and great at their jobs. It could also be that they clearly want to provide a good patient experience. But although they have all of those wonderful qualities the real reason I find them to be so exceptional is that I enjoy spending time with them. My husband does as well. AND whenever there is another patient there it is obvious by the chit chat and laughter that they enjoy spending time there too. Patients who feel well-cared for are relaxed. That's the hallmark of a

Hands down best dentist experience ever. Dr. Sekhon runs a top notch operation based on trust and transparency which is rarely found in the industry. In short time this practice has earned a lifetime of business. I promise you will not be disappointed!

My friend recommended this place to me and the reviews here are overwhelmingly positive, so I had high expectations. However, I was very disappointed with my experience here and the way I was treated. I made it known that it was my first time ever visiting a dentist , so I was a little nervous. I began to panic a little when they quickly adjusted my seat without warning. I admit I'm prone to panic attacks in new situations like that, and I had never been to a dentist before so I wasn't expecting it. It's true that I had a difficult time with that, but my tooth was causing me a great deal of pain

Honestly what a slam dunk. I came here for a second opinion because the previous dentist suggested notable work to be done and I didn’t trust a word of it. Seemed out of the blue. Was recommended this dentistry by a friend and I am thoroughly glad I listened. The entire staff is kind, straight forward, and considerate. Dr. AJ Sekhon is wildly personable and does not recommend dental work unless it is truly indicated. Trustworthy no doubt. I heavily look forward to coming back for routine work and procedures.

The care team here is EXCEPTIONAL, honest, and kind. They do extremely thorough cleanings, and thoughtfully walk you you through photos and x-rays of your teeth so you can actually understand the full picture of your dental health, and are extremely generous with their time.
Also, I recommended that my friend go to this practice when she was looking for a second opinion, and they let her know she didn't actually need to get any work done. (Another Tacoma dentist had said she had 3 cavities.)

I chose this office because it is close to my home and lucked out because this dental practice delivers that quality care. Stoked about my new Sonicare. Teeth are feeling fresh thanks to their awesome hygienist, Julie. My filling with Dr. AJ Sekhon was painless👌

I recently had a tooth removed very unexpectedly and I couldn’t be more satisfied with Defiance Dental Studio. They were fast and efficient. My recovery was so easy I often forgot I even had a tooth removed! I love the style of the studio and it was very clean.

I love this dental office so much. I just had a filling done and my bite is perfect. The numbing process so so smooth I didn’t even realize when it was finished.
