Prior to being a patient of Dr. Yang's, I had a fear of dentists. His gentle, calm demeanor and his expertise have changed that for me. The entire staff at Willamette dental Mountlake Terrace is friendly, professional and wonderful to work with.

I appreciated the care the whole team gave me. The receptionist went above and beyond to help me avoid having xrays when I had them the day before somewhere else. She was instrumental in getting those xrays sent over to Willamette and very helpful. My healing has been great. Thank you

I have a bit of a phobia of dental work (my first time at the dentist as a child was when I was 13 years old, and I needed a lot of work, as you can imagine.) I have been to dental offices where my fear (which mostly manifests itself as asking a LOT of questions!) has been looked at with disdain and scorn. The professionals at this office were gentle and patiently answered all of my many questions. My habit of avoiding the dentist is done, thanks to the good care I received!

Aug 29, 2025

My daughter and I have been with them for years. Every one is friendly and perfetional. Love to go there to get our teeth taken care of.

Hi, my visit at Willamette Dental went well. The dental technician and the dentist themselves were very nice and knowledgeable. What happened after was what went wrong. They tried to squeeze me into an appointment at a different location at a later time, and then they called and adjusted that time. And by the time I got there and I called on the way saying that I was late, And when I arrived 10 minutes later, as I said, they said they couldn't take me anymore. So that was very frustrating considering all that went into that. So that is why I would be less likely to want other people to use you guys, because I wasted time to go down to the other location. And yeah, when I called it saying I was late, you guys could have just said turn around. No, we can't.

Just a great experience

When I scheduled the appointment initially I told the lady specifically that I do not want to get scaling done and that I only want a night guard that's why I'm making this appointment. She said okay and she'll put it in the notes. And I believe the very first time I visited Willamet in 2018 they put a note for same that I do prefer to get scaling done. But when I got there, x ray lady told me it's a scaling appointment and they won't take the impressions at this appointment and I would have to come back. I was very disappointed and confused that how did this happen. Since I recently found out from my ENT specialist that I have TMJ and realized that it causes problems in my neck and ears, I was really looking forward to getting a mouth guard and was not liking the idea of more wait. At first I refused to get an X-ray because of the confusion because I was not at all expecting what was being done and told to me, but then I said okay to X-ray. The denial hygienist who came in for scaling was rude - she said multiple times to me that she's got better things to do than to be there so at one point I asked her to leave if she doesn't want to be there to treat me. Then she at least was somewhat professional. She made so anxious and stressed that I forgot I had used the mirror when the dentist came and spoke with me. The lady who took my x-ray and the dentist himself were professional and understanding. When I made the follow up appointment I asked the lady at the desk to not have that dental hygienist ever be assigned to me for anything in the future. Communication really needs to be fixed and professionalism really needs to built up at Willamet.
