Tyee Dental of Tumwater

I love Tyee Dental. Everyone is welcoming and kind. I have extreme dental anxiety and they keep me comfortable and calm. I am so relieved my friend referred me, it was the best decision for me!

If you are looking for a Dentist that exhibits professionalism, understanding, comfort, and trustworthy confidence, than look no further than Dr. Josh Merrel and his amazing staff. I use to go to Dr Kern and I have been lost in the dentist abys, while my teeth were rotting and suffering, that is until now. Today I just had a root canal and crown building for my actual 1st appointment. Pat his assistant is blissful , I felt a instant calm and reassurance, and she tackled my fear , for me who poccesses a denalt fear that webster has no description. Words fail me to describe the appreciation I have to finally find the solution to my dental needs, fears, and apprehension. Let them speak for themselves and look no further and make an appointment. This is my first review and probably my last. But, I feel how important it is, with like minded people searching for dental care while their teeth and mouth care suffer. I am looking forward to a bright big smile again. Thank you to Pat, and Dr Merrel at Tyee

My previous dentist was missing things and I knew it, so we switched dentists. I have been pleasantly surprised at every interaction I have had from the receptionist, the dental hygienist and the dentist. I think we found a new home where our teeth and wellbeing are under very good care. I would highly recommend Tyee Dental to anyone looking for a dentist.

I've been a patient of Tyee Dental for just over a year. It's been easy to schedule convenient appointment times and I never wait in the office more than a minute or two before being seen. I've been delighted with the quality service, thorough explanations, friendly staff, and fair pricing. I recommend without hesitation.

Kerri gives you great customer service from the moment you walk in and makes you feel so comfortable. Shout out to Kati the dental assistant, she gave me my confidence back this week with the great work she did for me this week. I appreciate Dr. Merrell and his knowledge as well. The whole team was awesome but had to give those 3 kudos for taking care of the me this week.

Very professional from everyone on staff. Had an issue and they got me right back in to take care of it. Very quick to call me in from start of my appointment, hardly any waiting. Highly recommend this dental facility.

They are very personable which made me feel like I could really trust them. They really try to make you feel like the relationship is the most important thing and that they will take the time to do anything that is good for you. No matter how many questions I had they didn't mind taking all the time to answer them. I interrupted the work at least 20 times. They kept being happy to answer them with a friendly approach!!

Amazingly helpful and professional, from the moment I called as a new patient. And I was very (!) fortunate that they had an appointment available, and they resolved my urgent issue. It doesn't always work that way, I know. Dr. Merrell, Carrie and Megan were so great. I referred my friend, too. And I'll be a regular patient.

I've had dental trauma and thusly have avoided the dentist for a decade (or more) but could no longer avoid it when my tooth completely broke off. I actually left my visit happy, I had no anxiety, was treated with kindness and empathy, and I wish I could them give six stars. My problem tooth should be fixed in half the time for significantly less money than the two other dentists I have visited recently on my journey to reclaim my dental health. I am actually looking forward to my next visit, which is not something I ever thought I'd say.

Best dentist and staff I have ever had and I am 74!! Efficient, knowledgeable and kind.

Always pleasant, patient, informative and thorough. I feel the entire team has my health and best interest in mind while I'm under their care. Long-term pleased patient!

The best care one could have! Every detail every move every procedure is spot on for your comfort and wellness ! Dr M is awesome and his staff the same!

Can't speak high enough for how great this office is. The entire team is incredibly friendly and they are passionate about what they do. My hygienist was nothing short of amazing. Thorough, listened to all of my needs, and took extraordinary care of me. Dr. Merrell is fantastic as well. He takes time to examine you, talk to you, and listen.

Tyee has most literally changed my life, not an exaggeration whatsoever. In my teens I went to a dentist office for years that was absolutely awful… so terrible I vowed that I’d never go to another dentist for the rest of my life…. That is until I noticed years later in my adulthood that one of my teeth was turning brown. Super freaked out, my grandmother and mother suggested I go to Tyee, as they had never had a more positive experience anywhere else. Reluctantly I went and I’m so glad that I did. Going to the dentist is no cheap venture, but the utter professionalism and the way everyone makes you feel at ease immediately, is worth every penny. I actually look forward going to the dentist now which is something I never thought I’d say. Not one person there do I get a vibe of “fake friendly” - I fully believe everyone there is 100% genuine and all around good people. I’ll never go anywhere else for a dental procedure. They walk you through every process that they are doing so you are always in the know. They are patient and efficient, I honestly can’t say enough good things about them. So thankful for Tyee.

Great dentist and staff. Very quick,gentle, and made me feel comfortable. Thanks team

my dental care is FANTASTIC.....my cleaning lady I always forget her name has me on the right treatment toothpaste to use and mouthwash as well and MUCH MORE

Dr. Merrell and his staff did an amazing job! This was hands down my best experience with dental care. Everyone was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I have a fear of needles and needed to be numbed and all the staff were very patient with me. I also took my toddler here. She was initially nervous to go to the dentist for the first time but they made her feel so comfortable that she is no longer scared. I would highly recommend Tyee Dental!

Great place with great staff. Everyone is amazing and super personable. I wouldn't go anywhere else. This place is amazing! They are gentle, do greater with kids, and explain things well. They also work with you regardless of situation and most importantly they listen to you and your needs.

The Tyee Dental staff are professional, welcoming and friendly. Dr. Merrell and his staff were efficient. I received a thorough exam and explanation of my dental problems. They offered appointments as quickly as possible. Thank you for taking good care of me!

I had a great experience with Tyee Dental. Needed to be seen asap due to pain and they were able to get me in the following morning. From first contact until out the door had great customer service from all the staff. Highly recommended!!
