Cloverdale Family Denistry

This dentist office was recommended to me by THREE of my friends! They all go here! You know that is saying something if 3 of your friends love a dentist. I love Dr. Tina and all of her staff. They are all so nice and are fantastic professionals. I have some dentist anxiety, and they have all been so fantastic and never make me feel insecure about this. I have had regular cleanings as well as dental work done at this practice. Fully recommend them!

I had been looking for a dentist since 2000 when my dentist of 45 years had retired. I have found the perfect dentist once again.
Being a redhead, we feel pain differently and we require more anesthesia, then it wears off faster than normal. Dr Fujii worked with this and found a way around it, plus figuring out where to put the numbing shots for maximum effect.
I have had four visits now and each experience has gotten better, to the point that this last time I went I could actually meditate while I was in the chair between small shots to keep things numb while work was being done.

There’s a reason why this place has all 5 stars… Dr. Fujii is amazing! She’s so friendly and bubbly and definitely knows her stuff. I get all my cleanings here (they honor Delta Dental) and I recently got a nightguard cause I clench and grind my teeth at night: p Dr. Fujii showed me the one she made for herself and recommended that style to me — it’s nice to know she tries all this stuff out first! The hygienists are all very friendly and personable and they make going to the dentist a good experience.

When I started coming in to Cloverdale Family Dentistry in the fall of 2011, I hadn’t been to a dentist in about 5 years. I knew I had some major work to be done and I was more than a little bit petrified. Dr. Fujii was one of the dentists selected for my Dental Health Services of Washington insurance and was also a preferred Metlife provider through my secondary dental insurance, so she seemed like the obvious choice… but I needed to make sure that she was someone I could trust. After a little bit of Internet searching that yielded nothing but good results, I was sold. Happily, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made concerning my healthcare.
Scheduling my appointment was as easy as it was pleasant. Sherri is an absolute joy to speak to, and her upbeat attitude is a rare and much appreciated personality to have in medical administrative personnel. I had no trouble booking an appointment that accommodated my schedule nicely.
At my first appointment, Dr. Fujii’s dental assistant, Neida, took some x-​rays of my teeth. I had forgotten how uncomfortable dental x-​rays can be! However, Neida made the process go smoothly and without incident. She gave excellent instructions and really helped ease my nerves with her gentleness. When I finally got to meet Dr. Fujii, I knew for sure that I had chosen the perfect dentist for me. I wondered if I would get a lecture for neglecting my teeth so badly, but Dr. Fujii didn’t make me feel bad at all! She just emphasized that she was happy that I was taking care of my teeth and that she looked forward to helping me reach my goal of having better dental health. She was so nice and so laid back, but also extremely professional and knowledgeable. I can honestly say that I have never enjoyed a trip to the dentist so much in my life! (That day I had a hair appointment at the salon, too, and believe it or not, but I felt better coming out of Dr. Fujii’s office than I did coming out of the salon!)
Over the next few months, I became well acquainted with the CFD staff as I was in and out every few weeks to have work done on my teeth. I had multiple fillings done, all of which looked great and held beautifully and were minimally painful experiences. She successfully filled in a chip in one of my front teeth– you would never know that I had a piece missing out of it for so long. And, I had a broken molar that needed to be filled, which Dr. Fujii was hoping could get by with just a filling and not require a crown. Fortunately, she was able to repair the tooth with her skilled hands– and she even called me that night to check in on me and see how I was doing, which absolutely floored me. How many times in your life can you say that a doctor has called to check on you? She even gave me her cell phone number in case any problems came up. Her care for her patients exceeded my expectations.
I also had a cleaning with Melanie, the dental hygienist, and she was excellent as well. One thing I really appreciate about the dental staff at Cloverdale is that they take the time to explain what is going on during your procedure– they walk you through the steps, explain what various tools do, warn you when you’re about to feel a pinch, and always make sure that any questions you have are answered. For the first time, I felt like I was playing an active role in my dental experience.
I am extremely grateful for the crew at Cloverdale Family Dentistry. It’s a tremendous comfort to know that I have a team I can trust with my health. I’m also very glad to have such beautiful teeth again! :) I’ll be a patient of Dr. Fujii’s for as long as she’s in business– and I’m already sending other members of my family to her.

Dr. Fujii and her whole staff are wonderful. I had not been to the dentist in over 10 years and needless to say, I was incredibly nervous. First I had a cleaning and Xrays with the dental hygienist, Melanie. She was so nice and patient. She definitely put me at ease and the cleaning was not very painful, they also anesthetize for deep cleaning if you want.
Dr. Fujii was super enthusiastic and really nice. I felt totally comfortable with her. She never made me feel bad for not going to the dentist. She talked more about the things that I had been doing right, then anything I had been doing wrong. She told me all the things that were wrong with my teeth and while it was a lot, she didn’t make me feel embarrassed about it.
I will most definitely come to her again!
Also, as far as the comment about her office location, D. T must not know about the South Park area. Her office is super friendly, clean, and colorful. It is in an old house and not run down at all. It is just the neighborhood that is industrial. I live in South Park and feel that a lot of people in Seattle have negative feelings about the area, these are unwarranted. It is not unclean or scary, it is just not as fancy as the rest of Seattle!
You won’t be disappointed!

We love Dr. Fuji and the team! They have all of the top of the line equipment but tucked in a cozy converted house. The staff is skilled, friendly, AND they offer Saturday appointments for cleanings.

D.T. you’re trippin’… while I agree with the major plus you mentioned, I disagree with you’re implied pseudo racist comment about the «run-​down» location. I mean Boeing is practically in her back yard and this is the area you find the best Mexican food in the greater Seattle area. When I think run-​down, I think super ghetto hood. South Park’s just an industrial area, that’s all.
Her office is totally inviting and pristine. The receptionist is always friendly and helpful. They usually can fit you in on short notice too.
She really went above and beyond my expectations. Remembered even the small talk from the previous visit. The most awesome thing was that I had gotten my wisdom teeth out at a specialist and she called me a week later to ask how I was healing up! Mind you, this wasn’t a call to try and secure another appointment, I think she just genuinely cares about her patients. Impressive.
