Richard Stickney, DDS, PS

Dr. Stickney Saved my front tooth!!!
After being told by a highly regarded dentist, who had also consulted with two other dentist in Kirkland that I would need a bridge to fix my front tooth I decided to get one more opinion and this time with a holistic dentist and lucky me that dentist was Dr. Stickney. At my first appointment with Dr. Stickney he
listened to all of my concerns regarding my front tooth and before giving me an opinion, sent me out to get a 3d X-​ray of my teeth. After getting the 3d X-​ray back Dr. Stickney sat down with me and told me that a bridge, in my case would not be a good choice!!! He told me the roots to my front teeth were too short, from having braces and could not withstand the pressure that would be put on them by a bridge. Dr. Stickney then re-​xamined my front tooth. Be began to work on it and I assumed he was temporarily securing the loose crown, to buy me some time until an implant could be made. Dr. Stickney got out his laser and lasered the area around around the gum where I had lost my tooth. He worked away and I was very thankful to have my tooth secured for the time being. When Dr. Stickney finished he casually told me my tooth was fixed and it should last me for a very long time!!!
Dr. sticky used ozone to disinfect the area before securing the crown. He used anesthetic that did not make me sick. He was kind gentle and compassionate and He saved my front tooth. I had thought getting another opinion was a waste of time. Three dentist all had the same opinion there was no way they could anchor the crown since there was nothing left to anchor it too. My front tooth crown is now secured as if it was my own tooth. If I had followed through with my previous dentist I would have had 3 teeth taken out to make a bridge for one tooth and on top of that it would not have lasted!!! I thank God I took the time to see Dr. Stickney. It was a miracle that I found him as I could have gone to 100 dentists and none of them would have had a laser, ordered a 3d X-​ray, used ozone… etc. I would have gotten a bridge and that would have failed too. Dr. Stickney is my dentist for life and I am so blessed to have found him. I can not put into words what he and his wonderful staff did for me. A front tooth is something money can not buy. I still can not believe how blessed I was to find him: he is a diamond in the ruff.
Thank you Dr. Stickney and staff from the bottom of my heart.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Stickney’s for over 16 years and with every new checkup I’m glad he’s my dentist. Any potential problems are caught and remedied before my teeth are damaged. Plus he always takes great care to preserve my teeth and uses the least invasive procedures possible. He not only has long experience in the field, but his equipment and software are constantly updated. I feel all procedures and options are always well explained so I understand my treatment and particular problems. Dr. Stickney also takes the time to share his knowledge, including new studies and discoveries in dentistry.
The office is exceptionally comfortable and Dr. Stickney’s team is friendly and professional. Annika, my dental hygienist, is a sensitive mouth’s dream. My entire mouth is in great shape, but it’s only because Dr. Stickney’s office has been caring for it so well for such a long time. My mouth was a disaster (cavities, cracks and periodontal disease) when I first walked in and it sure didn’t take him long to fix it. I’d recommend him to anyone.

I went to an oral surgeon for some extractions then some follow up due to extreme pain and discomfort. After weeks of this I tried Dr Stickney based on a friend’s referral, wow what a great idea that turned out to be! He and his staff were the only ones able to alleviate the pain and get me back to healing. This was all done without meds, which my previous doctors had just kept prescribing. In fact here, they used LASERS!!! Thank you technology.
Also the bedside manner of the doctor and his assistants was 2^nd to none. I will go back for any dental concern to get this stellar care again, truly a standout in this day of doctors pushing drugs or not caring about their patients.

After receiving some poor dental work in Los Angeles, I was left with debilitating pain in three teeth. When I sought to get the situation corrected by another dentist, I was told I would need root canals in all the teeth that the Los Angeles dentist had worked on. Fortunately I found Dr. Stickney.
Dr. Stickney carefully replaced the fillings in all of my affected teeth. He used holistic methods to heal and clean the area and took his time to do the job right. The pain was significantly reduced immediately. Within two weeks I was pain free for the first time in over a month, and able to eat again. I would highly recommend Dr. Stickney, his methods, and his staff. It doesn’t hurt that the office has such a beautiful view, too!

Now, granted, going to the dentist doesn’t top my list of fun things to do but it is necessary — kinda like cleaning out the gunk in the kitchen drain — but Dr. Stickney is quick, thorough and an expert at helping his patients relax. The hygienists do a great job and I have no problem returning for my 6 month teeth cleaning every… er, 6 months. Dr. Stickney also runs a wholistic practice with information on homeopathic remedies, herbs for healthy mouths and meditation for relaxation.
