About The Dental Shoppe
The Dental Shoppe is a dental practice at 1203 E. Pine St. on Capitol Hill, serving Capitol Hill, Madison Park, Montlake, Madrona and surrounding neighbourhoods. Its stated philosophy is “less is more”: it prioritises preventive dentistry, does only what is necessary when it is necessary, and says it will never recommend unnecessary procedures. The practice has one dentist, so patients always know who they will see. The office has heated massage dental chairs, iPad check-in and warm blankets. Dr. Sullivan and the team occasionally volunteer at free dental clinics in downtown Seattle.
Dr. Tara Sullivan, DDS
Dr. Sullivan has practised dentistry for 18 years. She grew up in a small town in Montana, earned a BS in Biology at Gonzaga University in Spokane, and completed her DDS at Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha, Nebraska. She practises restorative and cosmetic dentistry with a particular focus on helping patients preserve their natural teeth. The team includes office manager LaJohnny, dental hygienists Kelly and Katelyn, and dental assistants Isabel and Colleen.
