Spanaway Children's Dentistry

Love Dr. Jimmy & Megan! Great service and care with handling my daughter’s filling! Their service was quick and precise! Will always recommend this dentistry to someone looking for a friendly environment!

We love Spanaway Children’s! They’re always so friendly and great with my kids. I have one kiddo with a speech delay and typically hates brushing his teeth or anything in or around his mouth. Arlett was amazing with him, and by the end of the appointment he was laughing and giggling, and willingly let her brush his teeth and get x-rays without any fight. Such an amazing team!!

I had a good experience on the adult side of Pacific Northwest Dental, but unfortunately my experience with the pediatric side was completely different. I brought my 3.5 year old in and I was told he had two cavities on his upper back teeth. I was then told they couldn't treat them until October ( which is three months away) and that it would cost over $300 after insurance, and that they would need to be filled during two separate appointments because they were on opposite sides of his mouth. That didn't make much sense to me, and I left feeling frustrated and confused. What disappointed me even more was the dentist's interaction with us. He was in the room for what felt like less than a minute, barely spoke with us, and showed very little compassion or concern. It felt rushed. Because something didn't feel right, I went straight to another dentist for a second opinion. They took both standard X-rays and bitewing X-rays and carefully examined my son. They confirmed that he does not have any cavities. Hearing that was both a huge relief and incredibly upsetting. If I hadn't sought a second opinion, I would have waited until October, put my son through unnecessary dental treatment, and paid hundreds of dollars for work that another dentist determined wasn't needed. I would personally stay away from the pediatric department. My experience left me questioning the diagnosis, the recommended treatment plan, and the overall level of care. If your child is told they need extensive dental work, I strongly encourage getting a second opinion before moving forward.

Everyone is so great with my very active 4 year old! They’re very great at keeping him engaged and calm. My little one enjoys coming to his appointments here. Yennifer was very knowledgeable and answered any questions I had. We’ve been coming here for over a year already. I highly recommend this place.

Yennifer and Dr. A did a great job with my son. He was very comfortable the whole time. This is my son’s regular dentist and we love it here!

This was literally the worst dentist I've ever visited. The woman didn't even look at my son's teeth and I had to ask her to talk to me like I'm not stupid when I told her to explain her recommendations!!! I should not have been charged for this visit. CRITICAL UPDATE (5/22/26): Management's response to my experience on 5/21 is an outright misrepresentation of the facts. The provider never put on exam gloves and never physically looked into my child’s mouth. Furthermore, I explicitly detailed our needs to the front desk before booking, and they failed to disclose that their providers could not perform the requested work. ​To prove how reckless this 'recommendation' was: I took my son to a different pediatric dentist yesterday for a second opinion. That doctor actually performed a physical oral exam and confirmed that a root canal is NOT necessary. This office attempted to push an invasive, unnecessary dental procedure on a child without ever physically looking at his teeth. We will be filing formal reports for fraudulent billing and deceptive practices. I look forward to being contacted by your office manager after all costs for this dental visit yesterday are waived if full.

Dr. A, Ariana, Arlett and Joanna are amazing! I highly recommend them for kiddos who are a little nervous, they made sure my daughter was comfortable throughout her appointment. The office set up is so fun and kid friendly 🤙🏼

Sophie and Dr Lucas were amazing. Very patient and sweet with children. Couldn't recommend them enough! Everything was done fast and efficiently.

Arlett, Germans and Dr.Lucas , I highly recommend this pediatric dentistry office for any parent looking for outstanding care for their children. The clinic is beautifully designed, with treatment rooms that are thoughtfully decorated and equipped with televisions playing the best kids’ channels, which helps children feel comfortable right away.The waiting area is also exceptional—there are video games to keep kids entertained and complimentary coffee available for adults, creating a pleasant and stress-free environment for families.Most importantly, the staff goes above and beyond standard dental care. They are not only skilled professionals but also truly focused on patient comfort, communication, and overall experience. Without a doubt, this is one of the best pediatric dentistry offices in Washington State.
