Smiles By Design - Rejuvenating Implant Dentistry

Fantastic experience: The care and attention to the patient as I experienced it, beyond compare! Being a former dental assistant in the Air Force, I am beyond impressed! My new smile was instantly complimented no more than 15 minutes after I left. I’m beaming! Thank you for the care and love to me and my new SMILE! Peace with You❣️

Fantastic experience: I wrote the following review almost 5 years ago and it still holds 100% true. I’m STILL SO GLAD I decided to go through with having implants. It has changed my life for the better, including my dental health and self-confidence. I get compliments nearly every day from people re: my smile. What a blessing to not have ongoing dental problems to deal with:))) Review 5 years ago: “The entire team at Smiles by Design was/is fabulous. Everyone from Dr. Keller to Susie, Jackie, Lilly, Jozelle, Christie, Jess, Stephanie, the whole crew – they are very professional, kind, personable, and EXCELLENT in what they do. I was well cared for during the time my husband and I spent in the Seattle area. I really appreciated being able to reach out and have my questions / concerns answered both before and following the procedure. They genuinely listen to and care about their patients. The best part? After 55+ years of non-stop dental problems, comments from family and friends have made me smile even more and made it all worth it: “Your smile is STUNNING!!!” “Ohmygoodness, your smile is beautiful!” “I LOVE your smile!” Three friends have told me they need all the details of where I had this procedure performed:)” Thank you all:))

Fantastic experience: This is the only dental office that I love to return to. From Dr. Keller to the last staff member, all are wonderful people. My treatment was great. Would highly recommend this office for treatment.

Fantastic experience: I had my All-on-4 implants done by Dr. Keller at Smiles by Design in Kirkland, and my experience was amazing from start to finish. From the very first step, the ladies in the office were incredible. They held my hand through the entire process, always checking in on me, messaging to make sure I was doing okay, and patiently answering my many questions. I tend to stress and worry a lot, but they were always kind and never made me feel like I was bothering them. The surgery itself went very smoothly. I didn’t feel a thing during the procedure, and my recovery was surprisingly easy with almost no pain.completely satisfied with the final product. When I received my final teeth, I was honestly speechless by how immaculate they looked. They were perfect and looked so good—I couldn’t be happier. This entire experience was amazing with an incredible team, and they truly gave me a fresh start in life.

Fantastic experience: Today I got my finial set of new teeth after five months of healing after implant surgery. I want to say, this healing process wasn't hard, painful, or uncomfortable at all The temporary set of teeth looked great and felt good. I had many welcomed comments on how good and natural they looked For the first time in my life, I had a great smile, and it gave me confidence talking to people. The complete experience being here at Dr. Keller office and specialty the staff was fantastic and I felt right away I had come to right place. I was treated like family the entire time. Today, after receiving my finial set of permanent teeth it was life changing! They not only looked natural but my smile is now precious for the first time in my life. I'm feeling so happy to have a new stsrt in life. I'm looking forward to eating all the foods I never could enjoy before. I'm so glad for making this decision, it's truly a life changer for a better life. Thanks to all the crew here to make it all happen!

Fantastic experience: Dr Keller has the most incredible and amazing employees.. The professionalism and care given to me has been beyond reproach. I recommend Dr Keller 150%… I have fought dental infection/ tooth loss, unsuccessful root canals for 50 years and I am so very grateful to have had my implants done. They were done in 2019 and I have not had a problem with them at all

Fantastic experience: Shawn Keller and his team did an amazing job!!! They made me feel confident and comfortable at every step and I just had the surgery to get my temporary bridges. My permanent Bridges come in 4 months. I'm already ecstatic about the job they did!!!

Fantastic experience: Extremely happy with my experience at Smiles by Design! Everyone that works there is great and made me feel comfortable. They honestly change lives, I know because they changed mine. Dr. Keller did phenomenal work. Highly recommend this office

Fantastic experience: My name is Connie, and some know me from hosting Light in the Night Talk (a program of encouragement for those who are sleepless in the late night/early morning hours). One of my struggles has been the pain and deterioration of my teeth throughout the last 15 years due to some difficulties. Finally I could not avoid the inevitable and scheduled appointments with several providers to determine the next steps for tooth removal/replacement. Together with my family we attended multiple consultations at different locations. So when we walked into Smile By Design and met the team there, we immediately saw the difference in communication and quality of expertise in care. Now that the actual procedure has been completed, I’m even more impressed with the level of care in my healing journey. Don’t let fears stop you from getting your complimentary consultation here. Dr. Shawn Keller and the entire team are incredible. I highly recommend them to help you overcome. (Plus it’s great to share smiles with my grandkids!)

Fantastic experience: Absolutely nothing can be improved upon! My appointment was supposed to be 1 1/2 hours, and it only took an hour. Lilly was the one working with me today and during the procedure she advised I would feel pinching and pressure. I had to tell her she lied because I was comfortable with no pinching or pressure at all. Lilly was nice, respectful and professional but at the same time, she was real. I am greatful and thankful for the employees I have met and worked with. I am still shocked at what a great experience I have had with Dr Keller and his staff. I have never been a fan of dentists and I have never been treated well by any of them, until I went to Smile by Design in Kirkland. If you have experienced the same problems as I have, call Smile by Design. You will not regret it. The care that is shown in this office is out of this world. Finding them was such a blessing, truly a gift from God.

Fantastic experience: Great experience! They have always addressed any issues or problems I’ve had from beginning till the end. Oh how far my smile has come!! :D

Fantastic experience: More than just a cosmetic fix — my migraines are gone! I now wake up feeling rested with a relaxed jaw. Before choosing this practice, I did extensive research and consulted with multiple experts, and I'm so glad I did. What truly set Dr. Keller apart was the investment in cutting-edge technology and the thorough analysis of the root cause of my headaches. As an engineer, I really appreciated the technical, detail-oriented approach from the very first consultation. The team has a warm, family-like atmosphere that made me feel like I was in capable hands every step of the way. Truly grateful for the care I received here!

Fantastic experience: How many superlatives can I use to describe my experience at Smiles by Design. Being a patient there was truly wonderful. From my first encounter with the lovely Stephanie I was treated like a valuable person. The entire staff was equally kind. Having to have this kind of invasive, painful procedure was made so much less daunting & less painful due to the kindness & loving attention of this amazing group of people. Dr. Shawn Keller is approaching sainthood :) He gave me back my smile . Their waiting room is an experience of what creativity in waiting rooms could/should be. All in all my experience at Smiles by Design was completely positive from the 1st consult visit to my recent follow up a year later. If anyone finds themselves in need of this transformative kind of dental work Dr. Keller is your man. And his staff are all angels in disguise as mere humans .

Fantastic experience: Hats off to the Dr. Keller's winning dental care team Smile By Design. Two-years in and my smile still looks awesome! I am honored and blessed to be under the care of Dr. Keller and his team of dental specialist. Every appointment is a welcome visit and personal care. Each time I leave Dr. Keller's clinic, I leave with a smile. Many thanks and Cheers! Great job Rae!

Fantastic experience: The staff were warm and caring. Dr Keller was personable and kind , his work was pain free ! And I had a tooth extracted and post put in on the same day . Unlike any other dental procedure I’ve had !!

Fantastic experience: UPDATE***** Choosing Dr Keller was one of the very best decisions I’ve ever made. This is a long review but if you’re looking for the best possible outcome for your dental care; read it. It’s been almost 5 years since Dr Keller and his amazing team handled my complex case and I am overwhelmed with unexpected benefits of my treatment. Before finding Dr Keller I had TMJ so badly that when I woke up every morning my jaw would pop so loudly you could hear it from down the hall. I was literally crushing my jaw and my teeth from clenching at night - even with a night guard. I’d always had neck and upper back issues from being athletic and having a stressful career. I had no idea my neck, back and shoulder issues were related to my TMJ until Dr Keller worked his magic. If you read my initial review below; I needed to have some extensive dental restoration to protect my teeth and jaw joints resulting from TMJ. Dr Keller corrected all of what I thought I needed and so much more I didn’t realize would improve as a result. The improvements I’ve realized in my neck, upper back and shoulders as a result of Dr Keller’s work have been life changing. I no longer see the chiropractor weekly now I go in about once every other month for routine adjustments. My jaw no longer pops so loudly that people cringe and I no longer wake up every morning with sore jaws and teeth. My posture is better! I sleep better because I’m not tossing and turning to get comfortable and I actually breathe better! Dr Keller sees far beyond general dentistry. He’s a scientist, surgeon, engineer who can assess, redesign and build the infrastructure that will restore and improve health. I am eternally grateful. INITIAL REVIEW: The number one - most important thing you can do when you decide to have a dental or medical procedure is to choose the best practitioner. Dr Shawn Keller is a rockstar at the top of his profession. For over a year, I researched practitioners in Western Washington. I saw two top docs in Seattle, one in Everett and one in Bellevue. I felt like a number. A couple of them rolled their eyes when I asked questions and another seemed overwhelmed by my case and one actually said “my favorite patients are the ones who hate their smiles because no matter what I do for them it’s an improvement.” Fifth time’s a charm! When I saw Dr Keller for my consultation I was greeted warmly while all Covid protocols were carefully followed. Pictures and a ct scan were taken! It was the most thorough process. Armed with my research and questions I was ready for Dr Keller. As I referred to my list of questions; Dr Keller sat down with me and said “It makes my job much easier when a patient takes the time to research and formulate questions!” He showed me exactly where my needs were as he pointed them out on my scan. He explained each procedure in great detail including photos and videos. He laid out options for me with the number one item being that I had an infection in an old root canal that had failed. He insisted that we take care of that first and that anything else could wait. For the failed root canal he prescribed an implant so we moved forward with that which was nearly pain free. With the use of stem cell therapy it healed unbelievably fast and I had my crown within 8 weeks! I had some old metal fillings and porcelain crowns that had metal underneath them that I wanted to get rid of. All of my dental work had been done many years ago and after decades of clinching I was literally crushing my teeth, cracking them and causing bone loss and TMJ. I knew I needed an improved bite and I was worried about what could be happening under the metal that X-rays can’t penetrate. Dr Keller uses all metal free restorations. He explained and showed me that X-rays can actually penetrate the porcelain he uses as though it were enamel so it would be much easier to detect any future issues under a crown. With Dr Shawn Keller and the entire Smiles by Design Team you’ll be in the best hands and receive the best care possible. Sincerely grateful, Patient for life, Sarah H

Fantastic experience: It’s a good vibe. Good energy and they were able to work with my unique case. I did a lot of research and ended up in their hands. My front tooth unfortunately was lost due to a few factors and I spent a few years with temporary solutions and they did a great job path an implant and set of full crown style vaneers. Only thing, I wish I’d come in a year earlier.

Fantastic experience: I would love to share the great news regarding my implants. March 2024 was my date of transformation from dental nightmare to an amazing smile and better health overall. Anyone who reads this testimony can be sure that their experience with SBD will be the most rewarding time of their life. All of the staff treated me with respect and made sure I knew their enthusiasm for my best outcome was their highest priority. Doctor Keller was invested in my care and comfort throughout the entire process. Anybody facing major oral restoration, be at peace and go for it!! Best wishes to all those who enjoyed the same great outcome I have had. I am super excited to know the future has greatness waiting for anyone who chooses SBD to be part of their journey! Special Thank you to Jozelle and Jess....you guys are missed.....you're the best!

Fantastic experience: I got I call- the Same Day Smile at Smiles by Design, and I honestly forget they’re not my own teeth.! The results feel that natural. The staff is amazing—kind, professional, and made the whole experience feel comfortable and easy. The best way to describe this place is elegance and Star Wars—a unique combination, but it fits. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I shopped all over Seattle area and chose the best professional people in the industry that can give me the best results and have a smile by Design.

Fantastic experience: This is the best experience I’ve ever had. The thing that impressed me most is that the team is so well trained. The equipment they use really speeds up the process. When I went to another office and had implants done they left me without teeth for six months How awful that was. Smiles by design gets you a beautiful smile the same day. I just couldn’t be happier.

Fantastic experience: As I was getting older, my confidence started fading right along with my teeth. I've always been fun, happy spirited person who loves to smile and tell stories, but over time I found myself hiding my smile more and more. I wanted my outside to finally match how I felt inside. Growing up in foster care, I never really got to be a kid and never asked for anything. But one day I decided it was time to do something for myself. I knew I wanted teeth, no doubts about that. When I saw dr. Keller on an infomercial, sonrthing clicked. The way he spoke, the compassion in his voice, I knew he was the one who could help me my smike back. From the moment I met him, I felt connected and confident I was ib the right place. Now that I have my final teeth, I fibally have my confidence back. I can smile freely again and it feels amazing to see my true self shining through.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience at Smiles by Design! From the moment I walked in, Stephanie greeted me with a bright, welcoming smile. I was nervous about my procedure, but the entire staff immediately put me at ease. Dr. Keller took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. I can now smile with confidence and would absolutely recommend this office!

Fantastic experience: Where do I start? This place is so good. It’s the dental equivalent of the best BBQ you’ve ever had! I first went to Dr. Keller in October 2003 and the porcelain veneers he gave me then are still going strong today. Without exaggerating, he is the world’s greatest dentist. :) What’s kinda scary is that throughout the years, and even today, his staff is just as good. Many have stayed with him for 8+ years and they only have great things to say. That says something about the person and the quality people he brings in. I just had a half mouthful of teeth worked on and the entire process was smooth and painless—I’m very pleased with the results as well. I don’t write such lofty praise very often, but in this case, I think it’s warranted. Run, don’t walk, to Smiles by Design!

Fantastic experience: Posting for my partner Brooke - she is so thrilled with this experience and the amazing support here. i don’t think we could be any happier with the results or the way we’ve been treated with such kindness . cheers !!!

Fantastic experience: I’d be happy to recommend Smiles By Design to anyone. The team is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, it is a delight to work with them. Stephanie was the best!

Fantastic experience: When I first came to Smiles by Design, everyone treated me with respect. I didn’t feel any shame that I didn’t have that perfect smile. My parents didn’t emphasize going to the dentist when I was growing up, and I wanted to be a good example for my son. Young or old, anyone can have their smile fixed. It is an investment, but don’t be afraid to invest in yourself, because it is a long-term investment. I was trying to find other places to help, but I felt that Dr. Keller would make sure it was done right the first time. I now feel more confident and outgoing – I even took a cruise by myself! I have the courage to not be embarrassed by taking my son out to dance and music class! It's a big decision to get help, and it was scary thinking about what if he couldn’t help me, since I had been told before at other places that it would take at least 6 months of being in dentures before I could get my teeth. I saw Dr. Keller on YouTube and was curious to see if he could help me. I had to come and see to believe, since I didn’t quite believe it after being through dental trauma before. When I finally made it in, I was so excited to see everything and meet everyone. I love the high-tech atmosphere – seeing the lab upstairs and meeting everyone in the whole office from the lab to the front office and the assistants makes you feel like you are going to be taken care of by everyone.

Fantastic experience: I had my implants put in 5 years ago. I highly recommend Smiles by Design! Every procedure done was great. Great attention to detail. All questions answered! So satisfied with the work done, the employees and Dr Keller is awesome!! The work done here I give 12 out of 10 stars!!! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My experience at Smiles By Design has been nothing short of amazing! Not only is Dr. Keller a great surgeon he's also an artist! Everything is made right there upstairs in the sparkling clean innovative space. You will never find a more dedicated staff. Those ladies are everything! Wizards in their own right! They will go to the ends of the earth to help you get and maintain the smile of your dreams.

Fantastic experience: The team at smiles by design has been incredible!! The care that they have for there patients and hard work to create your unique smile is amazing. I recommend this place to anyone!! Shawn Keller does an excellent job at creating a personalized experience for every smile! Very happy with everything

Fantastic experience: What a great dental office. It all starts with a complimentary consultation where all my concerns are addressed and recommendations are made to bring my mouth back into health and optimum working order. Everyone there is so kind and attentive to my needs. Dr. Shawn Keller is the most knowledgeable dentist I have ever been to. He understands how everything in my mouth is interrelated, and ways to get all the parts working together optimally for my oral health. He uses the latest state of the art equipment that allows him to do things that other dentists don't and can't. I am so thankful I found him and loving my beautiful teeth and smile.

Fantastic experience: Great experience!! Good reception steph is great! Everyone explains everything really great, they are always clear. I recommend giving them a visit.

Fantastic experience: Revised: Just finished with my cleaning. I LOVE this staff and Dr. Keller! They do a great job on my cleaning and keep my smile sparkling! I never imagined I would look forward to going in to see my dentist! I am so grateful to Dr Keller, his staff and Smiles By Design! I couldn’t be any happier! I now have an amazing smile that I love showing off! I receive constant compliments on my smile and my beautiful teeth! After years of not wanting to show off my smile, I now enjoy smiling all the time! The care and support I have received from Dr Keller and his entire staff has been above and beyond! Every team member has treated me with such care and respect! If you have concerns/issues with your teeth, do yourself a favor and see Dr Keller! Life is too short not to have a fabulous smile!

Fantastic experience: Dear Smile By Design Team, I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible experience I had at your office. If I could give more than five stars, I definitely would! After avoiding the dentist for over eight years due to past trauma, I was hesitant to seek care. Other practices had provided discouraging advice or offered no solutions, leaving me devastated. My only regret now is that I didn’t contact Smile By Design sooner. Years ago, during a very difficult period in my life and recovery, I saw an infomercial featuring Dr. Shawn Keller. At the time, I could only hope that one day I might be able to fix my teeth. Now, having completed this process, I can truly say that restoring my smile has played a vital role in my recovery and has profoundly impacted my self-esteem. The happiness I feel looking in the mirror and the freedom to laugh in public without hesitation is a feeling I never thought I would experience again. While I have never enjoyed dental visits in the past, I genuinely looked forward to every appointment with your team. The work performed exceeded my expectations, and it is clear that everyone in your office is passionate and kind. Thanks to your team, I am incredibly happy with my smile for the first time since high school. I am so excited to finally take photos with my children, family, and friends without any hesitation. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you have done and for treating me with such care during this emotional journey.

Fantastic experience: I started with no upper teeth an s a pull out denture. The teeth on bottom were in bad shape .i had a complete new Arch put in with an all on four. And then later came back and had my lowers done with veneers and they look more real than I could’ve imagined and fit great!. Everyone is very friendly helpful and do amazing work!

Fantastic experience: Where to begin? This office is just incredible. Dr.Keller, his wonderful staff, the technology used in office, the quality of the work done, everything; world class. I have had hereditary issues regarding my teeth for most of my life, and had just kind of accepted that this was something I'd just have to deal with forever. Get a toothache, get a crown, get it pulled, repeat. It was a seemigly endless cycle that I had no hope of escaping from. I had toyed with the idea of getting dentures or something, but everything felt out of reach, or like it wouldn't be the right choice for me. I also didn't like the idea of getting dentures before I even hit my 40's. My wife, who used to work in dental herself, happened to see a commercial for this office on TV one morning at work, and decided to just look them up on a whim. She had been trying to help me find an office that could help me, but hadn't been able to find one that had results that looked natural. (I really didn't want fake looking teeth) Upon looking into Dr.Keller and his work, she was so impressed with the quality of the implants and that they looked more natural than anything she had seen before. So when she showed me the website and the 5 ⭐️ reviews, we decided to just schedule a consultation, not expecting to actually choose this office, but just see what they offered and kind of get a feel for the place. Our initial consult was wonderful. I have quite a bit of anxiety, especially at the dentist, and they put me at such ease. They made me feel like this wasn't such an out of reach option like I had thought. Dr.Keller himself was very easy to talk to and very empathetic to my situation, as was his lovely patient consultant. After discussing our options, potential treatment plans, and the like, we were confidently able to schedule surgery just a week later! This was the best decision I've made in a long time. This isn't an easy thing to go through, as with any surgery there is a bit of an uncomfortable period and recovery, but Dr.Keller and his entire staff have done nothing but provide support and quality care the entire time. I look forward to seeing Dr.Keller, his assistants Lilly and Z'Nique, and honestly the whole staff, when we come in for my appointments. They are such a kind, warm, welcoming group of folks, and that goes a long way for us patients with anxiety. I truly cannot express just how wonderful my experience has been with something that seemed so daunting and stressful before. They've given me back my confidence and more. I laugh more, smile more, can eat without pain for the first time in over a decade, and I owe all of that to this gem of an office. If you're not sure if this is the right office for you, I would suggest scheduling the free consultation at the very least. Going in and talking to them in person lets you get a feel for just how amazing they really are, and you can see for yourself just how impressive their office is. Thank you Dr.Keller, and everyone at Smiles By Design. You are appreciated more than words can describe.

Fantastic experience: I love this dental office. It was quite an amazing experience. The customer service was great. All the staff and the doctor was nice and then I never had to wait in the lobby for more than two minutes. It was quite an experience if I have to do it all over again. I'll choose your dental office. I am so happy with my smile and I'm so happy with the work that you do and if I know of anybody that wanted a dental work done, I will referred them to you. thank you so much for all that you do and I'm grateful.

Fantastic experience: I had my initial consultation yesterday with Dr. Sean Keller of Smiles By Design. From the moment we walked into the building we felt welcomed and appreciated like I’ve never felt at any type of business previously. The Staff was very professional, especially Stephanie. She walked us through a complete tour of the facility that includes their in house lab, state of the art in equipment and skilled laboratory staff. Our meeting with Dr. Keller was great. He listened patiently to my concerns, previous experiences and fears. Dr. Keller explained his various procedures and through our discussions came up with a plan that I feel very comfortable with. I made the decision today to go forward with getting my smile back! It is scheduled for next week, so I’ll be back here as soon as possible with an update on the results. I would say wish me luck, but I don’t think luck has anything to do with it. J. P.

Fantastic experience: Such a caring and talented team! I love how Dr. Keller was able to give me my smile back after so many years of wearing a removable partial. With the help of my daughter as well, they made it all happen. I can finally eat my favorite snacks again

Fantastic experience: My Mom (Janice) had had missing teeth for years and was considering dentures, but we are grateful that she decided to go with full implants and with Smiles By Design and Dr. Shawn Keller. The professionalism, care, compassion, and attention to detail is unsurpassed. Dr. Keller and his staff take the time to explain the process step by step and answer all our questions. Thanks for helping Mom!

Fantastic experience: Love coming to Dr Kellers office. And this is from coming from someone who “hates the dentist.” Staff from front end to back office have all been wonderful encounters, and are friendly and so warm. Never a bad experience. Met a new hygienist Rae today and love her!!! Also love Lily too!!! Thanks for making going to the dentist a wonderful experience! 10/10 would recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I’m 26 now, lost 2 teeth in the front from a hiking accident at 17 and waited almost a decade to fix. Some bone loss occurred over time from me waiting. Have been actively working with Dr. Keller and his whole team to fix everything and get my smile perfect. Went for a couple cleanings with Dental Hygenist Raenata and she even filled 2 cavities for me impromptu. During surgery to put in the post for the implant they let me choose my music style as I was dozing off. Healing was incredibly fast for what I’ve been used to because of the plasma and their new tech. By now my posts are fully healed and they worked with me to plan so I could get the surgery while I had been started on Invisalign. They answer all my questions and I ask everything under the sun. And they really have tailored a plan I felt like an active participant in and they make you feel heard and all around so comfortable. Friendliest team under the sun. And this comes from someone with great medical anxiety. All the comments before me made me reach out and I was nervous at first but after the first appointment I am always excited to go. They have a ton of financial options as well, coming from a college student. Definitely the place to take care of your dental health no matter what your end goals are. I cannot express how relieving it is to go somewhere for health care and get exactly what your looking each time you go. (I started working with them last year when I lived in town and now I fly in from where I live states away to continue care here to truly tell you how worth it is to choose Smiles by design)

Fantastic experience: My fantasy literally came to life with this team. It’s like being taken care of so well that you anticipate spending time with these wonderful people. Dr Keller and all the staff are artists and are so skilled and compassionate that i forget i’m at the dentist and it feels like a movie set. they make me feel like i’m a star or something, name on the board - gifts- beyond all expectations. not to mention oh my god my teeth look so good and feel so good . These are Just my temporaries and i get my permanent porcelain in 4 weeks! Their technology and techniques are so gentle that i feel complete confidence. thank you guys for healing my inner child and fearful self, it’s almost like i’m completey transformed through this process, spirit and body. love brooke

Fantastic experience: I have a usual past in that I developed Osteonecrosis of the Jaw years ago. This was treated with radiation. Also had Osteoporosis and was treated with bisphosphenates interveniously. Both of these precluded dentists from wanting to work on my mouth. Dr. Keller to the rescue. He did full mouth All-on-X and I now have a full set of teeth and a new smile. Still don't make enough saliva, but that's not Dr. Kellers fault. I can now chew food again. Hallelujah Thank you Smiles by Design team, you are Great.

Fantastic experience: Where to begin — I have been coming to Smiles by Design for the past 7 years, and I truly cannot say enough good things about this office. The staff is absolutely amazing: kind, professional, genuinely caring, and always a good laugh. They create such a warm and comfortable environment. They are always extremely accommodating and understanding. The technology is top-notch, and the quality of care really shows. From cosmetic work to bite treatment, everything has been done with such precision and attention to detail. I truly love their whole-body approach to dentistry. My bite feels so much better, and the results have been incredible, I couldn’t be happier. Smiles by Design goes far beyond dental care — they truly care about people. I will forever be grateful and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dentistry and an extraordinary team

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Smiles By Design. Truly an incredible group of people who genuinely care about their patients. I’m so grateful to have found them.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking/contemplating a new smile, read this! Anyone that is afraid/anxious as I was, looking for implants, needs to hear this! I am absolutely terrified of the dentist, cleanings, exams, fillings all of it, even the sign on the door! So much, to the extreme that I had to be sedated to even go to the dentist or enter the office. The anxiety is no joke! At Dr. Keller's office the staff is excellent, responsive and there to help. They understand and do not judge your anxiety. In fact, they make sure each visit is comfortable, from meds, blankets and even your favorite music. I searched all avenues for implants, from small dental offices to the giants advertised on television and everywhere else. My search went on for 2+ years. Even after I went to Smiles by Design, I still went on continuing my search. All due to the fear of actually committing to the procedure, until I just had to do something, or stop eating. Always worrying if another tooth was loose or ready to break. I finally decided that I absolutely had to do something. So, I contacted one of the first places I went, Smiles by Design. I was embarrassed to show up again after a couple of years, but they made me feel no shame and welcomed me back! It was the best decision I could have made! The procedure was PAINLESS. Woke up with a set of great teeth in place, looking very natural, not like you would expect traditional fake teeth to look. They really listen to what you want your teeth to look like and create what you want, very natural looking teeth. I left that day with teeth and after about a week, was able to work, go on without anyone knowing, except showing a more confident smile and of course no more anxiety or worrying about my teeth! I needed no narcotic pain meds afterwards, not even during the healing process, just Tylenol and ibuprofen. Followed the diet that recommended and it's all done! There are not words to express how thankful I am to have gone to Dr. Keller. So, needless to say, if you are contemplating full sets of implants, look no further than Smiles by Design, you will be so glad. You will have the first visit meeting Dr. Keller and his great team, make the arrangements and then and after your surgery day, (and it's only a partial day that you will not really even remember), your worries will be over! So, don't delay, make an appointment with Smiles by Design you will be so very pleased with the results and wonder why in the world you were worried in the first place!!

Fantastic experience: This is from my husband, Lemuel: Not being able to smile can have a devastating impact on your social confidence. The psychological metamorphosis that takes place as a result of one’s initial contact with people is as fascinating as it is amazing. I am less than seven days into the process of getting implants from Smiles by Design and it’s a surreal experience. Real time examination is stifled your by your actual current living experience. The pain of the surgery is easily and expertly managed by the staff at Smiles by Design, their presentation before, during, and after the initial surgery is incredibly accurate, and quells your anxiety and questions regarding what’s happening now and what’s next. They are wonderfully sensitive to your emotions and have been awesome with the post surgical care. We’re just getting started and if this is any indication of how Smiles by Design will function then I’m in for a terrific ride. Being able to enunciate words without hesitation is fantastic. The ability to take pictures with family and loved ones is heartwarming. The cost becomes irrelevant as you ponder how much time, money, and pain you’ve already gone through. Years of dental work, getting crowns, root canal’s, and bridges start to add up. Anyone doing even the most basic pragmatic analysis of the cost of their own dental work can only come to the conclusion that (IMHO) that they have thrown away too time money and energy already. Bad looking teeth are not a lost cause. The next few weeks are going to be interesting to say the least.

Fantastic experience: I would like to share my positive experience with Dr. Shawn Keller and his team during the first two weeks of my CeraRoot implant process. Despite my initial apprehension, the team provided exceptional support, ensuring the procedure was painless with minimal discomfort and only mild swelling. Although I reside three hours away, their excellent communication and willingness to accommodate my schedule have made the travel a non-issue. I truly appreciate the high level of care I have received thus far.

Fantastic experience: I first saw Dr Keller on the new day northwest show, and he came off as professional and caring. I made an appointment with Dr Keller to see if he was sincere in person as he was on tv. I found him to be more caring and professional in person. The more I got to know Shawn the more I trusted him. Dr Keller and his staff are amazing they did a great job on my final smile and giving me directions along the way that were easy to follow. I have already recommended Dr Keller to several other people. My healing process has been non painful, I was surprised and happy that it turned out that way. I would definitely recommend smiles by design! I would like to thank you for my SMILE and my WONDERFUL NEW TEETH. I have had at least 20 people tell how GREAT they look.

Fantastic experience: Amazing team handled everything with so much care. I never imagined such an intense procedure could be so much fun. I'm extatic about my new top 8 veneers- they look gorgeous and so real! Best decision ever going to Smiles By Design!!

Fantastic experience: From the moment you walk in, the entire team, from the front desk to the hygienists to Dr. Keller, makes you feel genuinely cared for, listened to, and never rushed. They’re warm, fun, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. You never feel like you’re just another time slot; they take their time, explain everything clearly, and make you feel like your health truly matters. I came in for a second opinion on an implant done elsewhere and to understand some health issues that had worsened since. Not only did they identify TMJ and bite issues I didn’t know I had, but they walked me through the X-rays and the “why” behind every symptom. Their clarity, patience, and thoroughness were such a relief. What impresses me even more is that after just the first phase of my treatment plan, my symptoms have improved by at least 80%. My confidence in this team has been validated. Yes, their treatment plans are an investment, but they are very intentional about it. They start with smaller, conservative steps to make sure the approach is truly going to work before recommending anything more permanent. I deeply appreciate that level of integrity and thoughtfulness. It’s rare to find a dental office where you feel this seen, heard, and supported. Smiles by Design is an amazing team, and I’m grateful for the care I’ve received.

Fantastic experience: Very professional and genuinely kind people. Everyone on the team made my transition incredibly comfortable. The procedure/surgery lasted a few hours, but I didn’t feel a thing — thank God. I was a unique case, having had jaw surgery just two years prior, and Dr. Keller was able to work seamlessly around the metal plates from that operation. I’m still waiting for my finals to be made, but my confidence has already increased, and I’ve genuinely learned how to smile again. Thank you to everyone on the team — you are amazing! 10/10

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience there’s so far they’re all very genuine people and they play by teamwork. It’s very easy to see their attention to detail they make you feel special and his work is wonderful. I just need to travel the next four months with this family the anesthesiologist is a peach. I don’t remember anything about the surgery. In fact when I woke up, I thought they hadn’t started yet anyway check them out. They are awesome.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a dentist who has experience in having my teeth done with no metals, and Dr Shawn Keller and his team are the best! Jozelle and everyone at the office are professional and very friendly. At my work, I always get compliments on my teeth ! Thanks Dr Keller.

Fantastic experience: After years of unsuccessful dental treatments and many, many thousands of dollars, I decided to stop looking for fixes and have my teeth properly restored. I have severe gum and bone loss and was told that I could not have a full restoration. One dental surgeon did the bottom jaw and it never fit and kept breaking. One day I was chatting with my neighbor and noticed that he had beautiful teeth. When asked, he told me about Dr Keller and Smile by Design. Dr Keller and his entire team at Smile By Design have completely changed my life, health and attitude. I was a 76 year old, walked with a cane and was in a total state of apathy. I never smiled and one day while taking family photos my daughter remarked that her son asked why his grandmother always looked sad and angry. I was neither! She told me that years to come, when family members reminisce over past photos, that’s what they will see and remember. I had to make excuses for cutting corn off the cob, skinning and cutting apples. Food should be not only nourishment but a joy! As a senior, health is an issue. If you cannot chew, the food doesn’t start to break down and it becomes impossible to swallow. Dr Keller was incredibly compassionate from the first consultation right through the first 6 month cleaning. He took so much time listening and clearly explaining every step of the full mouth restoration process. Best of all, I never felt any pressure. Dr Keller’s gentle demeanor and expertise put me at ease. The procedure was seamless and he even repaired the previous dental failure.The entire care team are careful encouraging and “ very fun”! My new smile is nothing short of a masterpiece! Perfectly shaped. The amazing technology, which is housed right in the practice ensures that my smile has been fit to their structure to my face. Perfectly shaped to my face, perfectly shaped teeth and natural.I cannot eat without my dentures falling into my plate. And yes…. That is a real happenstance! Dr Keller was able to accomplish that which surgeon after surgeon said was impossible, but Dr Keller said if it was safely possible, he would do it. I now laugh freely. My grandchildren will remember a happy grandmother. I no longer walk with a cane because my confidence has returned and I started a journey to health. I went to Physical Therapy 3 times a week for months. I may have failed but even trying would have been a success. I now hike with my little dog and 83 year old husband. Thank you Dr Keller and my Care Team for your artistry and giving back my sense of “ self “ I would recommend Dr Keller to anyone seeking truly exceptional restoration dental work.

Fantastic experience: Followed my heart and I'm so happy that I did. It takes a big commitment but when you are faced with the real thought of wearing absolutely gosh awful dentures for the rest of your life. I just couldn't bear it anymore. I hunkered down and did it! I want to thank everyone who supported me in my journey. Hugs hugs hugs.

Fantastic experience: Caring and professional are just a couple of the words I would use to describe Dr. Keller. His personality is so positive and contagious that I felt comfortable the moment I walked through the door. He and his team truly take the time to listen and understand your needs, and the care they provide is beyond amazing. Dr. Keller has not only given me the best care, but he's also changed my life.

Fantastic experience: I thought I would share a follow up with my experience of my dental implants. My last review was relating more to the initial consultations that I had with Dr. Keller and his staff. One month later after my implants, I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the amazing job that Dr. Keller did! I did the full sedation with my implants, So the process was quick. I went home that day feeling zero pain, there is obviously discomfort during the first week, but I was never in any pain. The follow ups with the staff (Lily) was always professional, quick and easy. On my second post implant appointment she made adjustments to my bite. I like the fact that every time I came in for an appointment Dr. Shawn Keller was there to drop by and say hello. I cannot tell you how much that I am loving my new teeth. Being able to fully chew food on both sides of my mouth is amazing. If you are thinking about this type of a procedure, I highly encourage it. If you have any doubts about doing something like this, I can only say one thing: you are worth it.

Fantastic experience: I recently visited Dr. Shawn Keller office in Seattle for a follow up routine cleaning after my dental implant was done. I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. Dr. Keller was very thorough and explained everything clearly, making sure I understood each step of the process. The office itself was clean and modern, and I felt very relaxed during my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. shawn Keller and his team. Steph, Anna, you guys were all amazing

Fantastic experience: Dr. Keller has the nicest group of people working for him. His office is modern, state of the art cool, and he goes the extra mile for his patients comfort, even offering protein shakes next to the bottled water. Dr. Keller himself, is of course awesome. He's changing people's lives. I don't think you can go wrong here. Lilly did my follow up today. She was great. Jess is great, even coming out to see me and give me a hug. They're all there to help you look and feel your best.

Fantastic experience: After years of being unhappy with my smile, I decided to visit Smiles By Design after a coworker recommended them to me. From my very first appointment, I knew I was in good hands. Each step of the process was explained in great detail. The entire staff was always friendly. I can't express how happy I am with the results of my smile. I recommend Smiles By Design to all my friends and family.

Fantastic experience: I’m so grateful for Smiles By Design and Dr. Keller’s amazing team! They’re warm, professional, and truly care about their patients. Dr. Keller gave me a confident new smile I love! They even surprised me with a special birthday treat during one visit, making it unforgettable. Highly recommend this incredible dental office!

Fantastic experience: I don’t typically write a review, but this time I had to! I was so nervous to go to this appointment because I have not had great experiences with dentists. My experience with Dr. Keller and his team went beyond my expectations. They were thorough in explaining every detail and made me feel so comfortable. I couldn’t be happier with my beautiful smile and really can’t stop smiling! Thank you for giving me the confidence to smile again!

Fantastic experience: Smiles By Design truly exceeded every expectation I had. I don't usually write reviews, but this experience was so extraordinary, I felt like I had to share. From the moment I walked through the doors I felt completely at ease. The entire team from the front desk to the dental assistants to Dr. Keller was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients. I never felt rushed or like just another appointment. Every person I interacted with took the time to make sure I felt informed, comfortable, and supported at every step. What stood out the most was how helpful and kind everyone was. I had a lot of questions going in, and they answered each one with patience and clarity. They explained what to expect, checked in with me throughout the process, and made sure I always felt comfortable and confident in my decisions. That kind of personal care is rare and it made all the difference. Now lets talk about the smile! I don't even know how to put it into words. I love my new smile. I catch myself smiling in the mirror more often and feel more confident in photos that I have in years. Friends and family have commented on how happy I seem, and they are right. This experience didn't just change my teeth, it changed how I feel about myself. To anyone considering taking the leap do it! Smiles By Design gave me more than just a beautiful smile, they gave me renewed confidence and joy. I'm so grateful to the whole team and will be recommending them to absolutely everyone I know!

Fantastic experience: I honestly don’t have the words to describe how much Smiles By Design has changed my life, but I’ll try! For years, I avoided the dentist out of fear and embarrassment. My smile just didn’t reflect the person I wanted to be, and I felt like I was constantly hiding - hiding in photos, hiding my laughter, hiding my confidence. I had developed this half smile with my lips close so I could hide my teeth. When I finally decided to do something about it, I searched online and found Smiles By Design. From the very first phone call, something felt different. The staff didn’t just treat me like a patient, they treated me like a person. Like family. The experience was nothing short of miraculous. I walked in with a mouth full of problems and walked out with a brand-new smile that looked and felt like me - only better. I can’t stop smiling now. I look healthier, I feel healthier, and the change in my confidence is something I didn’t even expect. I feel like I got a part of my life back. I'm not just saying this, this really changed my life. Every single person I met, from the front desk to Dr. Keller, was kind, compassionate, and truly invested in my care. They explained every step, calmed my nerves, and even followed up afterwards just to make sure I was doing okay. You don’t get that kind of care just anywhere! If you’re even thinking about getting this kind of work done, please go. Call them. You won’t regret it for a second. I really wish I had done it sooner.

Negative experience: * I would not recommend Dr. Shawn Keller at Smiles by Design. * I had a full-mouth restoration which all failed shortly after completion, I was charged for services not rendered, and it took 4 months and 1 week to get a copy of my dental records. * My Treatment Plan - Crowns on the lower 14 teeth (to support correct bite), crowns on upper 4 back molars (to support correct bite), and an upper arch implant-supported bridge (referred to as Same Day New Smile). The process took 18 months (Total of 36 appointments – 5 appts were to fix loose bridge) * Final Bridge Failed / No Response from Smiles by Design - My bridge became loose and then fell partially down 19 days after final placement. I reached out numerous times via phone calls and emails (have records) asking for help, but neither Dr. Shawn Keller nor his Office responded. * Bridge Failed / Not Made Correctly - I had an evaluation and consultation by an Implant and Periodontic Specialist (in Bellevue) on my bridge that fell partially down. I was told the bridge would never fit my mouth properly, as it was incorrectly made and I would require a new bridge with properly aligned screw access channels to ensure proper function and aesthetics. ** See 1st Photo - Chart note documenting issue: “Prosthetic did not seat due to access is not straight line allowing drivers passage to the screws and be tightened down.” * Full-Mouth Restoration Failing / Complete Redo Required - I had an evaluation and consultation by a DMD Restorative/Cosmetic Dentist (in Bellevue) on my full-mouth restoration. ** See 2nd Photo - Evaluation stating: “I have 12 splinted crowns that are ill fitting and high risk for carriers, a bridge that is unhygienic, all crowns have some varying issues, and that essentially all my dental work is failing and will require a re-do”. *** I did NOT give consent to/for Dr. Shawn Keller to split/bond my crowns. * 18 Crowns to Support Correct Bite Failed - I had an evaluation and consultation by a Prosthodontist Specialist (in Seattle) on the 18 crowns placed to support a correct bite. ** See 3rd Photo - Evaluation stating: “She has posterior open bilateral bite as well as traumatic occlusion”. (Summary: The 18 crowns placed by Dr. Shawn Keller did not support a correct bite.) * Charged for Services Not Rendered and Unable to Get Reimbursed. ** See 4th Photo – My full mouth restoration payment included the Extraction of #31 for $500 and an Implant on #31 for $3,800 – Total $4,300. Patient Progress Notes says: “Extra Notes: After further evaluation, tooth #31 did not need to be extracted after all. Tooth was kept and prepped for crown. The remaining balance will go towards a night time orthotic”. *** I was never fitted, nor did I receive a night time orthotic. I reached out numerous times via phone calls and emails (have records) asking for reimbursement, but neither Dr. Shawn Keller nor his Office responded. * Dental Records – I requested my dental records in writing, via the “Records Release Request” form I received from the Smiles by Design Office and verbally in person at Dr. Shawn Keller Smiles by Design Office. I had to ask them for status 5 times over a period of months. ** 4 months and 1 week after my original written request - I was notified I could pick up a copy of my records. **** I strongly encourage all patients to get multiple consultations from different practitioners, and research their credentials on the Department of Health website (select Health Care Provider Lookup, then Healthcare provider), to aid in making an informed decision about your dental care. ****

Fantastic experience: It's been almost a year since I had my procedure done. I couldn't be happier. From start to finish it was a great experience. Everyone is wonderful. The care you received feels so personalized. They prepare amd educate you on what to expect and next steps. The staff makes you feel welcome from the very first appointment. The front desk, the dental assistants and the doctors truly take a genuine interest in you and make you feel comfortable. I would recommend Smiles by Design to anyone who is looking into getting this type of dental work done.

Fantastic experience: I honestly never thought I’d say this about a dentist, but I love going to Smiles by Design. From the moment I walked in, I felt taken care of. The entire staff is so kind and genuine it doesn’t feel like a cold, clinical office. It feels like a place where people actually care. The office is spotless and modern, with the latest technology.

Fantastic experience: The Kindest, Most Professional Team I've Ever Met Smiles by Design is hands-down the best dental experience I’ve ever had — and it all comes down to the people. Every single team member, from the front desk to the dental assistants to Dr. Shawn Keller himself, is not only incredibly professional but also warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in patient care. You’re never treated like just another appointment here. The staff takes the time to get to know you, remember your preferences, and make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way. Dr. Keller is both highly skilled and incredibly down-to-earth — he explains things clearly and treats you like a partner in your own care. The energy in the office is upbeat and calming at the same time, and the attention to detail (even outside the dental chair) is exceptional. You can tell this team works well together and really enjoys what they do. If you're looking for a place where you'll be treated with respect, kindness, and the highest level of care, Smiles by Design is it.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about Smiles by Design! From the moment I walked in, the front desk staff made me feel welcomed and at ease. The entire team is professional, friendly, and truly cares about your comfort and dental health. Dr. Shawn Keller is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain every step of the process, which really helped ease my nerves. The office is modern, clean, and equipped with the latest technology — it honestly felt more like a spa than a dentist’s office. Whether you’re going in for a routine cleaning or a more complex procedure, you’re in great hands here. I’m so glad I found Smiles by Design — they’ve completely changed the way I feel about going to the dentist. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Another stellar experience! Lily is absolutely attentive to her patients & has an incredible artistic eye - thank you, Lily!!

Fantastic experience: Dr Keller and his entire staff are amazing! They take such good care of me. They think of everything, very easy to communicate with, they respond promptly. 10/10 customer service and I am very happy with the results of my dental implants. I can’t say enough good things about them! I travel from Kitsap to Kirkland to see Dr Keller, he is absolutely worth the trip!

Fantastic experience: Smiles by Design has been wonderful to work with in meeting my personal dental goals. They provided me with information about all options available. The process was smooth, the communication was timely and clear. I strongly recommend them to everyone in need of dental work.

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Keller and the team at Smiles by Design! The office is modern, fun, and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. Even though I was only getting a few veneers, they treated my case with so much care and attention. I have some medical anxiety, but the team was incredibly thoughtful and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I really appreciated how supportive and communicative they were - always quick to answer questions and fully focused on getting the best possible result. Honestly, I wish all doctors approached care the way they do. I wanted a natural, slightly enhanced version of my smile (especially with my wedding coming up!), and they absolutely nailed it. I was worried about bulky, fake-looking veneers, but what I got exceeded all expectations and looks completely natural. For the first time in forever, I actually love smiling in photos. Couldn’t be happier!

Fantastic experience: UPDATE: Five years later, and I've never been healthier! In 2023, I upgraded to zirconias, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made. Whenever I meet new people, they often compliment me on my teeth. I used to jokingly tell them to put air quotes around the word "teeth" because they’re not actually real, and they were always shocked to learn the truth. These days, I just smile and say, "Thanks." A huge thank you to Dr. Keller and the amazing team! UPDATE: Over one year later, I am even more happy than I was when I first had the procedure done. Adding another pic. My gums are 100% healed and done shifting and my teeth look "HOLLYWOOD" awesome. Thank you for the wonderful customer service and maintenance and thank you for being my "teeth" tribe!!! Dr. Keller, Jozelle, Jessica, Stephanie, Lilly, Raussie, Susie, Lee, Kristy. :-) ORIGINAL REVIEW: I am very grateful to DR. Keller and his team. After more than a decade of intermittent severe tooth pain and debilitating headaches (probably caused by TMJ) – I have now been pain free for 2 months and I feel like I have a new lease on life. I love the ALL ON FOUR procedure for many reasons – the PAIN FREE part being the best benefit – but also, people continually complement me on my “pretty smile.” Also, I REALLY enjoy being able to chew with BOTH sides of my mouth, and I love that I can drink things as hot and as cold as I want and I can even chew ice and NOTHING HURTS!!! Special thanks to Derik and Adele for answering all of my questions and for not pressuring me while I decided to get the procedure. Everyone on the staff was wonderful and made me feel comfortable – I appreciate Gail and Desiree and Jozelle and Jessica and Lilly. BIG SHOUT OUT: I want Lee and Stephanie to know that I think you are the world’s best “customer service/patient advocate/tooth artist” people!!! Thank you for making sure that I got the pointy canines that I wanted – and NO CHICK-LET LOOKING HORSE TEETH – LOL!!! And for making sure that my new teeth are slightly more forward, just enough so that my top lip no longer completely disappears when I smile. XOXOXOX!!! And Dr. Keller, you exceeded my expectations. Seriously, you pulled every tooth in my mouth (many of which were in a terrible state of illness) and on the same day you inserted 8 screws with so much precision that the aftermath was less painful than many routine dental treatments I have had with other dentists. I have had root canals with more drama. I attached a photo of myself only FIVE days after you restructured my entire mouth. You and your staff will forever hold a special place in my heart. :-)

Fantastic experience: Smiles By Design is the best place to get your smile and life back! Dr. Keller and his team are absolutely amazing. I came to Dr. Keller looking for full mouth restoration and I was immediately put to ease. The entire team made me feel welcome, showed compassion and treated me with the upmost respect. Dr. Keller was able to design me a beautiful smile that worked with my budget that did not compromise on quality. I absolutely love my new smile and I highly recommend if you are looking for any sort of dental restoration and a beautiful smile, please give Dr. Keller and his team call and set up a visit. It's worth it.

Fantastic experience: Over the last three years I've been a patient of Dr Keller's and Dental by Design team. From the very beginning I was met with the utmost care and compassion. They provided me with so many options on how to address my needs and concerns. They were understanding of my timeline and I did not feel pressured when I wasn't ready. When the time came for my procedure the team was very informative and communicated with me all along the way. They even checked up with me the day after to make sure I had made it home safely and was not feeling any pain. I am so appreciative of the entire DBD team and am thankful for their wonderful service. The quality of work that they provided shows that they truly take pride in their work with every patient. Many thanks to everyone on the team!

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful experience from the first appointment to the last adjustment. Dr Keller has a state of the art clinic and a first class team. I'm extremely happy with the final result. The only regret I have is that I haven't fixed my smile earlier.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of undergoing dental implant surgery at Smiles by Design in Kirkland WA, and I cannot express how impressed I am with the entire experience! From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. Dr. Shawn Keller and his team took the time to explain the entire procedure, addressing all my concerns and ensuring I felt comfortable every step of the way. Their expertise and attention to detail truly shone through during the surgery. I was amazed at how smooth the process was; I felt minimal discomfort and was well taken care of throughout. The facility itself is immaculate and equipped with the latest technology, making me feel confident in the care I was receiving. Not to mention the Star wars theme going on in there is totally awesome! You just got to see it for yourself. The support staff were equally fantastic, always checking in on me and providing helpful information about post-operative care. I have to say this team made me feel like family. After my surgery, the follow-up appointments were just as impressive. They were attentive to my healing process and made sure everything was progressing as it should. The results have exceeded my expectations—my new implants feel and look completely natural! If you’re considering dental implants, I wholeheartedly recommend Smiles by Design. They have not only restored my smile but also my oral health and confidence. Thank you, Dr. Keller and the entire team, for your outstanding care and Aloha!

Fantastic experience: I originally planned to get dentures, but after seeing an ad on local TV featuring Dr. Shawn Kellar sharing about the “Same Day Smile” procedure, I decided to schedule a consultation. My first appointment was in July, and by August, I was in surgery… everything moved quickly and smoothly. From the start, the team at Smile By Design were super informative. Dr. Kellar’s team made sure I understood the process and what to expect. The ladies in the office were always kind and friendly, always making me feel welcome and comfortable. The office space is another experience in its own. It’s fun and exciting it has a Star Wars theme that adds a unique touch. As someone who has always dreaded going to the dentist, this was a completely different experience. It didn’t feel like a typical dental visit; it was actually enjoyable. I won’t lie the commute from Kent to Kirkland on I-405 was a pain, but it was absolutely worth it for the care and results I received. If you’re considering dental implants or looking for an alternative to dentures, I recommend Smile By Design. Their “Same Day Smile” service delivers, and the atmosphere, the staff, and overall care make the entire process a positive one. I’m glad I made this decision. Now, I can finally say I love my new smile, and it’s life-changing!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience at this practice. They performed a CeraRoot implant procedure for an extracted tooth and crown restoration on me and the final result turned out beautiful and healthy. The staff is very friendly, responsive, and always willing to listen and work around any questions and concerns. Go here if you are looking to have your dental implants done, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: The inside of this place is actually insane, you don't feel like you're in a cold scary dentist office. The design and theme is so fun yet professional. I feel super welcomed and comfortable, not just like a random patient, you can tell everyone that works here actually wants to be here and cares about everyone!

Fantastic experience: Two years ago, I walked into Smiles By Design feeling hopeless, embarrassed, and completely exhausted. At just 26 years old, I was struggling with periodontal disease, missing teeth, and constant pain that left me malnourished, weak, and anxious. I had no confidence, never smiled, and rarely left my apartment because the pain was unbearable. But everything changed the day my dad brought me to Kirkland to meet Dr. Keller. I’ll forever be grateful he did. Dr. Keller and his team are nothing short of amazing. Despite my fear of dentists and hospitals, I was surprisingly at ease during their same-day, new smile procedure. Dr. Keller and his team—Lilly, Stephanie, Jackie, and Jozelle—are some of the kindest, most compassionate people I’ve ever met. Their care and expertise truly changed my life. Today, I’m 15 pounds heavier, healthy, confident, and finally able to enjoy eating steaks again! I highly recommend the nano ceramic all-on-4 bridges—they feel just like my own teeth and look absolutely flawless. With cutting-edge technology and unmatched skill, this team has given me my life back. Thank you, Smiles By Design, for everything. - Laura ❤️

Fantastic experience: I feel so much better after coming to Smiles by Design. I had so much infection, and it is now all gone! I love coming to this area, and I have heard from other patients of Dr. Keller's that it was the best decision they have ever made. I agree!

Fantastic experience: When I came in to check out Dr Keller's Smiles by Design and met with Candace. She was very polite and showed me what my options were. At the time I wasn't sure if this was something i could do financially. Actually giving me the tour of the facility and the lab upstairs and seeing the setup that looks like starship enterprise was very impressice. The kindness and guidance through the process was incredible. After reviewing the information giving me and going over the health issues of not doing anything, made it easy for me to make a decision to come to Dr. Keller. I started with the upper teeth, and the buyers remorse did set in after the surgery, making it hard to stay positive, but the team immediately got me back on track and continuously called me to make me feel confident. They really helped me come up with a plan so I could financially afford the lowers which helped make this dream come alive. Overall, it took over a year to get to where I am at today and I can honestly say that the entire team greets me with a smile, asking me how I am doing and always feels so genuine. The interactions with the team is my favorite part, and I am going to miss that. I do still have some things that I am working with the team, but I really trust the process and highly recommend them to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Life changing- Hear me out… I have had terrible anxiety about going to the dentist for well over a decade now. I, like many other, had a bad experience. A dentist I saw told me in the middle of getting fillings done that they were going to hold off on doing the other one I really needed because my insurance had ran out and if they waited until the start of the new insurance year, they could charge more for it. Yes this all happened while tools and hands were in my mouth. Add on the fact that traditional local anesthetics such as Novocaine do not work on me, going to the dentist was among my worst nightmares. So much so, that 6 years ago when I first noticed some pain on one side of my mouth, I decided to ignore it and focus chewing on the other side of my mouth. As time went on, pain spread and I found myself really needing to find a dentist who I could work with. Dr. Keller and his team immediately put me at ease. From the first phone call, where I called in tears, they were so supportive and listened to everything. They took my concerns and fear and truly worked WITH me. Their process is as non-invasive as possible, which helped with my extremely strong gag reflex. They were able to talk me through in advance all they wanted to do and then they were able to provide me will anxiety medication to help me get through everything I needed done. I went from tears on that first call, and nearly turning around and canceling because traffic was a little heavy, to being confident and unafraid to walk in and see them again. When there was a hiccup in my personal life and I had to halt our plan for a bit, I had no problems, and dare I say, even looked forward to calling them back and getting back on the schedule. This group of people are truly special and I am so grateful I found them. If you are afraid for any reason at all, that’s okay! Still call and go in for the consult. I truly believe there is no better team equipped to deal with anxiety and tentative patients.

Fantastic experience: I have had a wonderful experience having the All in 6 procedure done. I had gone to another place to have some work done and they messed up and I was left not happy with dentures that did not work right. After I had in my mind that I was going to go to Mexico to save a dollar. After reading reviews and hearing other people’s horror stories from doing this I decided to do it local and went with Shawn and his awesome staff at Smiles by Design. It went way better than I could have dreamed. They were so comforting and I was able to feel the love for their job every time I came in. Now I’m happier than I can imagine with my smile. If cost is a problem they were so helpful in making it affordable and showing me all of my options.

Fantastic experience: I'm in my 30's. Nobody should have to think about replacing their teeth at that age, but here I am. It took me over a decade of consultations with other specialists before I found Dr. Keller and his staff. Without a doubt this was the hardest decision I have made in my life. Every specialist I consulted with promised me great results, but Dr. Keller was the first where I felt that I would be taken care of for life, and being in my 30's that was really important to me. At first I thought the process was way too fast, and I wasn't mentally prepared to commit. Dr. Keller shared his own story with me, which was very similar to mine, and adapted the entire process to go at my own pace. My case was complex: implant supported bridges, extractions, bone grafts, veneers, crowns, single tooth implants, you name it. Yesterday marked the end of an incredible journey, and I'm thrilled to say that I'm leaving with a renewed sense of confidence, a beautiful smile, and some amazing new friendships.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient since 2019, the doctor and his team are extraordinarily kind and knowledgeable. I have the "same day, new smile"/"all in four" they have been amazing. Transforming not only my smile but the way I interact with other people, making me more approachable and kinder. I heard all the same stories and was like "ok, w/e" I am living proof hpw true it is. The routine cleanings are fast but precise. I 1000% know you won't regret coming here. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment.

Fantastic experience: To all the ladies who are blessed to be part of the Smiles by Design team. I cannot begin to find the words to address each and every one of you beautiful, spirited women. From my initial phone call (by mistake lol) to Kristy, to Jessica and Lilly today, and everyone in between, I want to say thank you! Thank you for your genuine interest in not only my dental needs, but also in me, JUST NANCY. You all helped to create an experience that was easy, fun, kind and gentle from start to finish. Each visit has left me feeling a bit more beautiful and a lot more confident. I credit each of you and Dr. Keller with that reality. Thank you for treating everyone special. They are! As you are! God bless you all.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! Dr. Keller and everyone on his team are nothing short of amazing. They want to get to the root of your issue and they truly care about you. I want to especially shout out Jackie! She is the BEST! I wish that every dentist office had a Jackie, if so I don’t think anyone would be afraid of the dentist. She is patient and kind and truly hears you. Thank you to the whole Smiles By Design Team for making going to the dentist a great experience!

Fantastic experience: My experience at Smiles By Design with Dr. Keller and his team was truly life changing. They provided me with the best dental implants you can get anywhere in the Seattle, Bellevue, and Kirkland area, which completely transformed my smile. As someone who previously struggled with gum disease and missing teeth, finding an effective alternative to dentures was crucial for me. Dealing with crippling dental anxiety, I was amazed by how painless the procedure was. The team was incredibly accommodating and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. They were transparent every step of the way, explaining the procedure in detail and answering all my questions with clarity and confidence. What impressed me the most was their "same day teeth" service, which meant I walked out with a new smile in just one visit. The professionalism and care didn’t end with the procedure. The aftercare I received was exceptional, making my recovery smooth and stress-free. Every staff member I interacted with was knowledgeable and genuinely cared about my well-being. I can’t recommend Smiles By Design enough. Dr. Keller and his team have changed my life with their outstanding care and expertise. If you’re looking for a dental practice that offers top-notch dental implants and exceptional alternatives to dentures, this is the place to go

Fantastic experience: Our experience at Smiles By Design with Dr. Keller and his exceptional team was nothing short of remarkable. They provided my husband with an innovative alternative to dentures, resulting in a transformative smile makeover. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. My husband, who has significant dental anxiety, was astonished by how painless the procedure was and how the team went above and beyond to accommodate his needs. The transparency of the entire process was refreshing—every step was clearly explained, and all our questions were answered with expertise and patience. The professionalism and dedication of the staff were evident not just during the treatment but also in the aftercare. The support and attention we received made a significant difference in my husband’s recovery and overall experience. I cannot recommend Smiles By Design enough. If you’re looking for a life-changing dental experience with a team that genuinely cares, this is the place to go. They have truly set a new standard in dental care.

Fantastic experience: Can you say, “i look forward to going to the dentist?”. why? everyone here at dr. shawn’s: 1. knows my name 2. greets me 3. steps out of their rooms/office to say hi 4. are genuinely HAPPY for my new smile 5. goes the extra 10 miles for my comfort 6. buys me lunch if my appointment goes into the lunch hour 7. are meticulous….down to the nanometer?or millimeter…how ever you say “tiny” 8. check their work, check it again, and CHECK IT AGAIN & again until the bite is Perfect 9. have a sense of humor 10. want to comment on how beautiful my teeth are, how they like the shape & the color 11. are technologically superior 12. have made my trips to & from Hawai’i worth every minute, every, mile, every penny!! 13….shall i go on? before may 2020i was sooooooo ashamed of my tooth decay—-i didn’t smile, face a camera, open my mouth all the way…even though i am a performer, singer, chanter, hula dancer and speaker i didn’t eat hard food, hard fruits & vegetables, or steak for almost 7 years. my headaches were getting worse & the infections wouldn’t get better. my regular dentist was a great person, but it took 9 painful months to scale & work on 1-implant at a time. i couldn’t wait anymore—bits of teeth kept falling out of my mouth. then i found dr. shawn’s ad in the hawaiian airlines magazine! they assessed my situation virtually.. i made a loan (which by the way is the same price if i was to pay for 1-implant at a time). And in 4-weeks i was on a plane and in Smiles by Design Office. Wanna know a super cool side effect? I am now a non-smoker because of the process. i am so grateful!!

Fantastic experience: I want to thank Shawn Keller and his entire team for making me feel comfortable and assured during this entire process. They were able to find an abscess in my tooth that no other doctor was able to find before the surgery. I no longer need to use my CPAP for my sleep apnea, which has bothered me for years. I am grateful for Smiles by Design for my new smile

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. I lost some front teeth in an accident, and also had periodontal disease. I received both upper and lower bridges. I also received the best care ever. Dr. Keller and his amazing team are awesome. They literally take the time to get to know you and treat you like family. A year and a half later, and I'm so happy with my results. I just can't express enough how great they are. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Update: May 29, 2024 - I’m now about 18 months post procedure with the same day new smile, and am so pleased to say that this experience has been everything I could possibly have hoped. The staff at Smiles by Design have been so supportive and caring throughout, and my quality of life has improved exponentially. I spent years ashamed to laugh or smile in public, and now I’m able to meet people with confidence -&: certainty that I’m putting my best face forward. If you’re afraid of dentists or if you’ve had a challenging experience elsewhere, you owe it to yourself to get in touch with Dr. Keller and Smiles by Design! If you are considering whether to visit Dr. Keller and the team at Smiles by Design, do yourself a favor and go. I’m partway through the healing process after my same day new smile procedure, and I can honestly say that my entire life has changed for the better. I can’t stop smiling! I have been terrified of dentists since childhood, and that fear had led me to seriously neglect my smile. I was in pain constantly, ashamed at the idea of anyone seeing my teeth, and generally feeling hopeless about ever looking or feeling better about them. Other dental practices had made me feel embarrassed that things had gotten so bad or overwhelmed by how much there was to fix and how long it would all take. From the first moment I spoke to Kristy on the phone, and right through every appointment and follow up visit, the entire Smiles by Design team has made sure that I felt respected, comfortable, and confident that I was making the right choice for myself and my health. When I returned home the day of my procedure, I cried with happiness when I saw how great my temporary teeth looked. I couldn’t have imagined how beautiful the final results would be, and I’m still trying to get used to being able to smile again. In fact, my main caution would be to get ready to practice if you’ve spent a long time hiding your teeth when you smile - it’s taken some time to learn how to show them, and I’ve made some pretty silly faces. I cannot thank Dr. Keller and everyone at Smiles by Design enough for what they’ve done for me. I wish I had heard of them sooner!

Fantastic experience: My experience at Smile by design was great. Dr. Keller and the whole team are professional and very knowledgeable. I am very thankful and happy, and confident! I can smile again! !!! I just had my cleaning today after 6 months, and it went great! Jackie is very sweet, professional and gentle. She also did x-rays and told me my implants look amazing, and my bone looks great! She was very happy with how it looks. I already have my next cleaning scheduled! My experience here is great and I love coming to the dentist now, not like before!

Fantastic experience: After seeing 3 other dentists, I chose Dr. Keller with Smiles By Design. I was massively impressed with their authentic customer care, individualized service and no pressure approach. I’ve never had a dentist take the time to provide such detailed, informative options and flexibility to meet my unique needs and make certain I understood each option. Dr. Keller and his entire team is, by far, the best dentist I’ve had in my 67 years! Thank you so much! I’m looking forward to having the teeth I need to eat & digest healthy food, and have my smile that I’m thrilled to show off!
