My philosophy of dentistry is that great dentistry and a great, fun atmosphere should not be mutually exclusive! I know that a lot of people have fears about dentistry but in my experience, if you look people in the eye, explain everything that's going on and treat people with the respect (which is what I expect when I go to my physician) then it shouldn't be scary or intimidating.

Stripped my tooth down to the nerve, now I need a root canal.
Came in with a mild toothache. They said the tooth was cracked and that I had no cavities. While they were "fixing" the crack they said I had a cavity which they "fixed", costing me double what I was paying out of pocket for. The dentist left and the person filling my tooth crack/empty cavity seemed very confused, left me multiple times to get other tools, and after the procedure was incredibly nervous and suggested that I take a pain killers.
I left with sensitivity to heat and cold (that was not a problem prior to their operation

Turns out my dentist is not giving me a plaque for great teeth after all. He really hurt my fillings. Hahah!!!
To put it simply Dr Edwards and Angelia (Hygienist) make me LOVE going in for my cleanings! Never a dull moment and it’s hard to not want to laugh the entire time! It’s such a clean and beautifully decorated environment. I know my dental care is in great hands!! Thanks to the whole team! See you guys in 6 months!

I tried to call today to set a cleaning for myself and my family. I used to like the other front desk person . she used to work with me. this lady told me that for cleaning they don't have anything available just the same answer than last time that I called for the same reason. I was asking how come and I even told her I got the same answer than last time. I told her that she was not helpful or kind and she told me that I was not either. please try to find a new front desk. she is very disrespectful.

I love this dental office. Dr. Edwards and staff are always courteous and provide excellent, professional services. The office is clean, nicely decorated, and fun. Dr. Edwards and hygienists are super skilled and use the latest tech to make visits easy and comfortable. I recently got a porcelain crown at his office after a Cerac crown broke. The new crown is the prettiest “tooth” in my mouth! :)

The utmost BEST experience for any style of medical office. When you first walk in, prepare to activate your smile, then acclimate yourself with the ambiance. The decor is synonymous with HGTV Dream Homes, yet… efficaciously delivering the sense of serenity.
The A-list team consists of amiable ladies with warm hearts making certain you’re being well cared for. They’ll brighten your day long before you step foot into the back office. Once you stroll beyond the doors, you’re off to see the dental hygienist. The grand experience is commencing again after you meet them. If

Thank you for welcoming me into your family. I’m am so grateful to be a patient at DRD. Everyone I met yesterday was so friendly, accommodating and attentive, I could tell immediately that I was in the right place. I am now looking forward to being on a team that are committed to getting my dental health back on track! Thank you! And I love the ties to the local community and Olympia Brewing Company memorabilia!

I had 4 crowns re-done here and had a wonderful experience. All of the employees are kind and thoughtful, and my teeth came out looking wonderful. I regularly get compliments on my nice smile, and friends who have known me for years (with my old crowns) have remarked on what an improvement the new teeth are. Love this place and would give it 10 stars if it was an option. I also appreciated how kid friendly the environment was both for the patrons and the staff...Dr. Edwards seems to really care about the people who work for him.
