Melissa Leone Dentistry
Melissa Leone, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

My dental anxieties are beginning to ease! I just switched over to Dr. Leone’s office (from an already top notch dentist I would recommend anyone too). My husband has been seeing Melissa for years, and talked me into switching over (much more convenient to where we live). My general anxiety is always off the charts because of PTSD. And dice dental offices are not known for being relaxing, I am always going to be skeptical. Parking was not as bad as downtown Seattle, but it was not the easiest either. The office is easy to find and access. The atmosphere is professional yet very calming, aesthetically. Everyone is nice and engaging, but not overbearing. I had the gentlest cleaning/exam of my life. Dr. Leone was wonderfully compassionate and personable. I will be sticking with this group!!!

For me and my family, this is more than a general dentistry, but a group of friends/family. They genuinely care for the people that walk through the door. The space is lovely, they go the extra mile asking if there is anything else they can do, and are experts in their field. Dr. Leone is gentle and kind and you don’t feel like she is ever rushed. She wants to hear about your health and if there is anything they can do. I can’t imagine going anywhere else for my dental needs!

Is it weird to say I LOVE going to the dentist? I’ve been seeing Dr. Leonne for over five years after a friend recommended her when I first moved to Belltown, and I’ve been a regular patient ever since (even making a long drive when I’ve moved a bit further away.) I can’t rave enough about how great this office is — everyone from the front desk staff to the hygenists to the recommendations Dr. Leonne give are gentle, nice, and considerate. Beyond your typical cleaning — which comes with a numbing mouthrinse if you choose, so you aren’t in pain for an hour and they can get a little deeper — they also allow you to listen to music (just hop on their wifi if you want to stream your own via Spotify or whatever!) while you’re getting your teeth cleaned, and you can also opt for a hand massage. I actually fell asleep once I was so relaxed! This office is definitely more “Zen” than your typical dentist, which makes coming in for a cleaning or even a more invasive procedure feel like going in for a massage. (Well, maybe like a physical therapy massage….)

Dr. Leone is the best. Super skilled, super smart, very reasonable, conservative when recommending procedures, attentive to your comfort while in the chair, up to date on modern techniques and methods, and keeps detailed records to monitor your dental health over time. I rarely recommend anything to anyone but she really is a great dentist.

I have been going here for years, and I finally feel like I have a dentist (and dental staff) who I feel comfortable. X-rays in your chair, immediately on the computer for the dentist to review, arm massages while cleanings, and over-all a relaxed professionalism that is evident in everyone who works here. I never feel chastised or like a bad child when I see Dr. Leone, she just gently reminds me how to brush and floss if I’ve got some buildup.

I walk past Dr. Leone’s office every day on my way to the office. Earlier this week I broke a tooth and needed immediate help due to a pending trip out of the country. I gave the office a call and was sitting in a chair and being checked out within two hours! Dr. Leone and her staff were kind, helpful, and gentle. I’m not the best dental patient due to some bad experiences as a child many decades ago. They took great care of me and I am looking forward to becoming a regular.

These folks are awesome!! I’ve been in a couple of times recently for some long over due dental work. I was recommended by a friend. I’ve had a total of three visits, one was a cleaning, two were for getting some cavities worked on. My cleaning was done by the dental assistants, and everyone was very friendly. I was concerned since I had a dentist recommend a deep cleaning a couple of years ago, and a friend mentioned that I should get a second opinion before just saying OK. I didn’t follow up with it, and was nervous about my initial visit to Dr. Leone’s office. After the initial inspection, it was determined that a deep cleaning wasn’t necessary, and that, a standard cleaning would be fine. Dr. Leone’s office performed the cleaning, all went well. When I came in to have my teeth worked on, I also had a great experience. I am not a fan of needles, and was surprised when I never even felt the anesthetic being applied. I never felt any pain from the drill, and I didn’t feel the filling afterward. I’ve had them in the past where I could feel the filling like a little lump between my teeth, but that wasn’t the case this time. They also supply you with headphones, and a TV to watch while you are having work done. At one point during the procedure, I actually fell asleep. I know this, because I halfway snored myself awake. I have never fallen asleep while a dentist was working on my teeth. Greatest thing in the world. I can’t say enough nice things about this practice. Again, the people were nice, the work is great, no pain was felt, and as an added bonus, I literally got to take a nap. I will have to go back for one more procedure, and don’t have any hesitations about doing so.

I was referred to Dr. Leone by my endodontist and had an awesome experience. The staff was all very knowledgeable and extremely kind. The office is very nice and they provide an almost spa like experience. Dr. Leone took the time to explain everything to me and made sure I was able to ask all of the questions I had. She has TV’s in front of every chair (on a wall mount that can move so you can see it while you’re laying flat!) and provide headphones and give you control of the remote. For me at least that really helped pass the time. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who asked.
