Light Dental Studios of University Place

"Dr. Judy is the best! She and all the staff at Light Dental Studios made me feel cared for and comfortable. I’m incredibly nervous when going in for dental work. Dr. Judy took the time to talk through my worries with me and assured me that we’d take things one step at a time. My crown replacement went flawlessly and I’m very happy!"

"The team at light dental studios went above and beyond from the on-call dentist who took my call and assured me that the team would take good care of me. They showed a level of exemplar level of professionalism . Stephanie was able to confirm my insurance quickly to get me on their schedule. She also made me comfortable (her bedside manner was awesome)! Brooke's bedside manner put me at ease while taking xrays and reporting her findings quickly to Dr.Judy. Dr. Judy reassured me that she could help me if I ever needed dental care when she called me last November. The fact that she remembered the story of my tooth/situation was amazing. Her explanation of my procedure and the importance of it were clear concise . Her diligence and knowledge of her expertise were also "spot-on"!! She made absolute sure I was numb and didn't have any pain in addition to checking on me a few hours later and ordered me pain medication. Manu was very helpful at the end of the visit and making sure I was setup for my next visit. The whole team is very professional and work really well together which says a lot about those who choose healthcare. I'm looking forward to working with them to improve my dental health! 5 stars!!"

"When I first decided to switch dentists, I had NO IDEA where to go. So I did a bit of research, asked around, checked my insurance website - all the things a responsible person would do. Yet, in still, all signs pointed to “no clue”. One afternoon, while walking through the Tacoma Mall, I saw a big advertising poster in the main corner for Light Dental. I thought to myself, “well, don’t they all look happy? Such nice teeth on this group of Dental employees.” And my decision was born. Here is what I can say. I am not a very good dental patient. Dentists give me anxiety, I put off going, I need to drink a lot of water the whole time I’m there, and it’s just very stressful for me. I can honestly say that my experience with Light Dental has been the best out of my many decades of hanging out with dentists. From my first visit, they went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and assured, even though my treatment plan was relatively massive. Multiple crowns, multiple fillings, and all of the things that non-dental lovers avoid going to the dentist for. The employees at the front desk are wonderful to work with. They are ALWAYS happy to see me, have great conversation, and make me feel like I’m welcome. The office and the dental rooms are modern, comfortable, and very well-appointed. The hygienists do a wonderful job, as well. But my favorite part of my experience each time is, Dr. Judy. Here I am, nearly two years after my first visit, with a mouthful of beautiful teeth, and a smile that strangers comment on. And I owe it all to Dr. Judy. She is a master at her craft. I have never met a medical professional, who is more thorough, precise, and does whatever has to be done to ensure that she is getting it just right. And my teeth are a little bit tricky. I am super hard to numb, I have a particular bite, and I’m really fussy about my smile. One time I told her “that’s good enough” and she said, “we don’t do good enough dentistry here.” She Is committed to excellence every time, without fail. That gives me such peace of mind, because I know that things were done right the first time. Lord knows I don’t want to do more than I have to! On top of that, she is that perfect mix of interested and interesting conversation + knowledge provision + focusing on the task at hand. If you are in the market for a new dentist; you should skip past all of the tried and true research techniques I shared earlier. Just head to Light Dental and get in to Dr. Judy’s chair. You won’t regret it. Who knows - she may make a dental fan out of me yet."

"Been going to Light Dental UP for a couple years now and I must say what stands out most is the customer service. The staff does all they can to make sure to accommodate schedules and other needs. The staff do a great job creating a professional yet family like environment. Shout out to Manu and Des at the front desk for always sharing smiles and making appointment scheduling a breeze."

"Light Dental Studios have never failed me and my wife. Awesome Team! Always excellent performance and professionalism by all the Dentists, especially Dr. Tomas Manaois, Dr. Judy and Dr. Escobar whom my wife and I have encountered. The Dental Techs are polite, gracious and caring. They know their job well. The Front Desk Staff are very professional and knowledgeable. Kudos to Manu for her professionalism and patience as well. All have sweet welcoming smiles. My recent dental prophylaxis with Heather is worth mentioning. She showed her meticulous skills, no tinge of hurried moves and impatience. Very gentle yet excellent dental experience. Overall, I have all praises for the Owner of Light Dental Studios in maintaining a good reputation and high standard quality dental care. Not to mention the clean and modern clinic in UP. Thank you!"
