Sweet Tooth Family Dental
W. Gene Beck, DMD:
Practice Profile Page

I can’t say enough good about Dr Beck—as well as his staff. I’ve seen him for years now, and he provides quick, diligent, flexible, and most importantly empathetic care. I know that he’s on my side and is always looking out for what’s best for me. I’ve had awful experiences with dentists growing up, and Sweet Tooth has single handedly changed how I look at modern dentistry.

I’m very nervous about dentists, and was especially nervous about having to find a new one after moving to Seattle, but I’m happy to say that I’m so happy with this practice and I finally found my go-to dentist in Seattle! First, the entire staff is great – the dental hygienists are SUPER attentive and thorough. Pattee was great at coordinating my appointments and was super responsive. She also was super helpful in walking through my insurance coverage with me. Dr. Gene Beck is the best. He’s incredibly detail-oriented, knowledgeable, and attentive. He explained every single step of the procedures, what all of the numbers and dental jargon meant, and would check in on me throughout the procedure to make sure I was doing ok. Since I get so much anxiety at dentists in general, this immediately put me at ease. There were a few tiny stains on my teeth that prior dentists said they couldn’t (and obviously didn’t want to bother to) remove, but Dr. Beck noticed and removed them right away – without me even having to bring it up! I had a filling replaced and honestly it was the most comfortable dental procedure I’ve had. I’m already recommending this dental practice to all my friends & family!

I’ve been going to this dentist for the past 2 years. The team is phenomenal! At my first appointment, we did the normal paperwork, x-rays, insurance check, etc. All the things you expect at a first appointment with a new dentist. Every hygienist has been friendly, considerate, skilled with those pesky tartar scrapers and flossing, and they have some neat technology (sonic scalers?!) that make my check-ups quick and pain free. I’ve never had a cavity, so I can’t speak to that experience. I get x-rays once a year, to keep an eye on a spot or two on my teeth, and haven’t felt pressured to go under the drill. Dr. Beck is friendly and professional. I feel confident in the work that he does. My introvert procrastinator side enjoys that I can set up appointments online, and that I get e-mail reminders. Best part – you get a few small cookies at the end! I don’t know about the other reviewer feeling like they’re “promoting cavities” – you can’t tell me you never eat a baked good 🙂

I just went here for the first time today and was totally blown away. I have literally never had anything but a miserable dental experience before, but this was an exception. The staff was incredibly kind and friendly, and they went out of their way to explain everything in detail to me. The equipment was all top of the line, and things moved at a nice pace. When the Doctor came out to go over my results, he continued the quality experience with a small on his face. To top it off, they give you super tasty home made cookies at the end that are absolutely delicious.

My girlfriend, now wife, referred me to Dr Beck. I have always been frustrated with dentists in the past. They always recommend this and that for a couple thousand dollars. Not with Dr Beck. He has always been honest and professional. If you want excellent dentistry without the BS see Dr Beck. Excellent dentist!!

So I did pop into Sweet Tooth Family Dental for a much needed dental check up at 7am on 12/31 in attempt to use up my dental insurance before the year ended. It was my first time at Sweet Tooth and my first time going to a dentist in the US, so I didn’t really know what to expect. To my surprise, going to see the dentist here wasn’t scary at all. Everyone (Dr. Gene Beck–dentist, Pattie–receptionist/administrator and Karla–dentist assistant were really kind, friendly and helpful (in fact, she had been very responsive even when I first made an appointment online via their website before I even went in). They promptly took me in on time, didn’t make me feel uncomfortable with some of my answers/my tooth conditions, explained my situation and helped prioritize the work that needed to be done with my teeth, and even drafted a personalized dental plan for me! So, I didn’t feel so bad visiting a dentist after all…and the work I got done didn’t hurt me (yet…)..Best, I have my 3 future appointments already set up with them and even got a small bag of chocolate chip cookie treats on my way out of their office to work 🙂

My fiancee recommended this office to me. We moved here within the last year and she had had a really positive experience Let me just say that this is one of the best dental experiences I have ever had. I take my dental hygiene pretty seriously and I’m very particular about which dentist to use. Pattee at the front desk is an absolute gem. From start to finish she made booking my first appointment incredibly easy. She even went to the trouble of reviewing my health benefits to make SURE that I was covered and then helpfully explained the way my plan worked to me when I arrived at the office. She was also very prompt and courteous via email. Dimitra was very helpful as well and contributed the overall good feeling I had in the office. Dr. Beck himself was fantastic and did my initial exam and cleaning himself. He spent plenty of time making me feel at ease and discussing my particular case. Overall, this office is top notch and they provide excellent service with a personal touch. Highly recommended.

Recently relocated to Seattle and besides changing my drivers license, looking for a new Family Dentist was on our list. While peddling my bike in the area I came across Sweet Tooth Family Dental. Located in charming victorian style built structure, a home feel to it, white cabinets, walls painted with shades of yellow, and large windows, creating a open and warm and well lighted space. I have since crossed off the “need to find a new dentist from my list”. Dr Gene Beck, Pattie and Carla made me feel very welcome from the moment I walked in. Pattee, (yes she speels her name with 2 ee,s) receptionist/Dental Asssistant was able to provide me with what to expect as in my insurance guidelines / cost almost to the exact amount to what to expect for services, which helped me to plan my appointments. Carla, Dental Assistant made me feel very comfortable as well, lets face it, sitting back in a dental chair is not the most relaxing place to be. Dr Beck consistently checked in with me while he examined, and completed what needed to be done, a very gentle approach. And upon completion of services, I was given some home made cookies! Pattee explained to me that Dr Beck bakes every morning for his patients. Oh, yes they are yummy!! Makes me want to go back, now who would want to go back to a dentist?. So if you want a dentist who keeps the patients well being in mind with a gental approach, great support staff, and reviews of local resturants, I almost forgot to mention that, Dr Beck is very knowlagble of great places to eat as well as cookies when you leave the chair, make an appointment with Sweet Tooth Family Dental.

My last dentist office had closed and I had procrastinated on finding a new dentist…for three years! I was a little anxious about the whole process of going somewhere new after so long, but the Sweet Tooth staff could not have made it easier. Their online appointment request form is great, especially if you aren’t able to call during their business hours. I set up my appointment via email with Pattee and she walked me through everything that I could expect for my appointment, including all my insurance questions. Their office is warm and welcoming, its in an old house that has been renovated, which is charming and also relaxing. It doesn’t have the sterile doctor feel some offices can have. The entire staff was so friendly I immediately felt like I’d been there before. Dr. Beck himself couldn’t have been better, he speaks with you like you’ve been friends for years, not like you are just another patient. I really got the impression that he’s passionate about what he does. True to the name, they really did hand me a bag of home-made cookies after the appointment! I was surprised to have a dentist hand me sweets, but of course it came with the request to brush which seems like a fair enough trade. I’ll take it! I am so glad I ended up here, if you are considering a new dentist I highly recommend Sweet Tooth!
