Dr. Paul Smits, DDS & Dr. Kyle Smits, DDS: New WSB sponsors

This afternoon we welcome new WSB sponsors, Dr. Paul Smits, DDS, and Dr. Kyle Smits, DDS, who own and operate a dental practice in West Seattle, at 5647 California SW (map). Dr. Paul Smits has operated his practice in this location for many years, and the office has made a couple of new enhancements this summer. Dr. Paul Smits‘ son, Kyle, joined the practice after graduating from the University of Maryland Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. They are currently installing a new computer system and digital X-ray equipment; this will lead to paperless charts and will help make each visit more efficient. In addition, the doctors say digital X-rays will reduce the amount of radiation exposure and help improve the doctors’ ability to diagnose dental conditions.

Acknowledging that most people don’t count going to the dentist as one of their favorite activities, Dr. Paul Smits and Dr. Kyle Smits say they try to make visits more enjoyable. They strive to create a personal relationship with each patient by learning about their lifestyle, their concerns, and their budget. Dr. Paul Smits says he and his son will continue to provide an efficient, gentle approach to dental health that also respects the patient’s time. The doctors are members of the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce, long-time sponsors of the West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, and regularly participate in several study groups with local dentists. They also belong to Seattle-King County Dental Society, Washington State Dental Association, and the American Dental Association. Both doctors have appointments available for both adults and children and can be reached at 206-935-4611.

We thank Dr. Paul Smits, DDS, and Dr. Kyle Smits, DDS, for sponsoring independent, community-collaborative neighborhood news on WSB; find our sponsor team, and info on joining, all here.

I highly recommend Dr. Smits, the father. He has been my only dentist for 25 plus years. This is wonderful news of his son. Dr. Smits wife, Joyce, runs the office and she is sweet and amazing. Talk about a family business. I wish the new Dr. all the best. He’ll probably end up as my dentist someday………..

Dr. Smits (Paul) has been my dentist my whole life, he is the best! Joyce is the sweetest receptionist ever. They always give the best recommendations when it comes to orthos or oral surgeons.

Dr Paul Smits has been my dentist since I was a small child – and I have been eagerly awaiting Kyle joining the practice – a 3rd generation dentist! Dr Kyle did my exam just two weeks ago – and was just as terrific as his Dad. Joyce runs a smooth operation – I never have to wait more than 3 minutes when I arrive for my appointment. If you are looking for a great dental office – I highly recommend them!

I strongly recommend Dr. Smits. I have been a patient since I was a kid, and I can attest that Dr. Smits and his staff are very skilled and good at working with kids and adults. I never understood why people hate going to the dentist; I never had any bad experiences. It’s true that they do a good job of building a relationship with all their patients. They always send a hand-written reminder for every appointment. I just had my teeth cleaned a few weeks ago and got to meet the younger Dr. Smits. I have never had a check-up from him, but he is a very nice person and appears to be in great shape to continue the good practices that kept our family coming to this clinic for years.

Sorry, comment time is over.
