Kent Family Dental (Formerly Cedar Dental Group)

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience at this clinic, everything was good from checking in to the end, Dr Mehlahff was amazing and very reassuring about the whole process, he fixed my teeth that I had done over a year in turkey, and everyone else was very helpful and professional, the front desk lady was very friendly My visit was 8/25 at 9am

Experiencia fantástica: Kent Family Dentistry is fantastic! This was my second cleaning with the team at Kent Family Dentistry made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. They explained everything clearly, checked on me throughout the procedure, and were very gentle and professional. They completed everything less then a hour, and I had no discomfort or pain afterward. I was honestly surprised by how smooth and easy the whole experience was. I’m really grateful for their skill and care. If you’re looking for a dentist in Kent who does great work and makes you feel at ease, I highly recommend Kent Family Dentistry.

Experiencia negativa: Hate to be that person but I had to switch dentists because the doctor that did my cavity filling did it incorrectly and made my tooth very sensitive for over a month. Make sure you are doing the fillings correctly so this doesn’t happen. Also would like to add when I got my cleaning done, they made my gums bleed too much and I take care of my gums enough to know they have never bled that much during a cleaning. Not coming back I’m sorry

Experiencia fantástica: Great customer service. The staff was professional and courteous!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent doctors and a very caring team. They explained the procedure clearly and made me feel comfortable. Great service and hospitality!

Experiencia positiva: The pause between water picking & suction was long, I swallowed a lot of water. The doc said it's just water but it's uncomfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: Caring and competent service. Took time to understand my needs during the procedure

Experiencia fantástica: I am always greeted by a friendly fact. The dental care has been terrific. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Caring people. Dentist explained everything to me completely. I am a high anxiety person and never felt once I wanted to run out of there. We made a dental plan together and I will be keeping it.

Experiencia fantástica: I was promptly brought in for my appointment. My hygienist checked with me to make sure I was doing ok. Front desk helped me with some insurance questions. Good overall experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Kent Family Dental is awesome! I recently had an old bridge removed and replaced there and also had a partial denture relined. Although the denture process was done by another organization, KFD made sure it was done and back to me in a very timely fashion, and that it fit well. I wanted to commend Dr. Mehlhaff, Sarah and Sabrina for this, as well as Joelle & Mayra at the front desk. Their excellent skill and communication helped erase the "Childhood Dental Horrors" from earlier in my life. Going to the dentist is now a pleasurable experience!

Experiencia fantástica: Great care and reasonable cost. Mia is a terrific hygienist.

Experiencia fantástica: Great dentist and all the staff from the front desk to the dental hygienist ! They have integrity and won't try to charge for anything unnecessary. Right across the street from Kent station so convenient location as well.

Experiencia fantástica: really nice and helpful during a painful process. definitely family friendly, socially interactive. they encourage you to contact them which was a really warm feeling.

Experiencia negativa: Never saw the first Dentist I was referred to here. Liked the Dentist I saw on first appointment well enough but would have appreciated knowing in advance that he was not the one I was expecting. Second appointment - no attempt to make me comfortable in the chair (headrest was awful), room was frigid, another new Dentist who did not introduce himself and was ready to dive into my mouth without so much as looking at, let alone discussing with me, what he was going to do. Apparatus they put in my mouth to keep it open & had suction was terribly noisy and uncomfortable. One of the most uncomfortable dental proceedures I've ever had. Won't be going back.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone is so friendly and nice

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent service from the moment I arrived. The entire staff is very kind, attentive, and professional. The service was fast and they made me feel comfortable at all times. The prices are also very reasonable. I highly recommend this place.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Melhaff was efficient and personable, a real professional. Front desk and assistants, especially Joelle, are always kind and easy to work with.

Experiencia fantástica: I was very happy with my visit. Very short wait before someone saw me. The exam was very thorough but not uncomfortable. When discussing possible issues and options they were very understanding of my needs and concerns. Also, everyone there is so pleasant and friendly! They would be my first choice for dental care.

Experiencia fantástica: Kent Family Dental is awesome—professional, efficient, friendly, gentle. I went in for a cleaning today and my hygienist was thorough and swift! I appreciate these people so much! ❤️ Highly recommend them.

Experiencia fantástica: All of the staff are always so very pleasant and professional. I do like the new dentist - found him very thorough and easy to talk with. All in all, what a great team.

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff! Friendly and competent. I have a history of anesthesia noncompliance. I am hard to get numb. And or it wears off fast. Doctor actually listened when I told him and didn’t just blow me off like so many of them do. Best experience I’ve had in a long time.

Experiencia fantástica: My hygienist, Mei, did an excellent job of cleaning my teeth and removing stains that my brushing couldn’t get. I am so thankful!

Experiencia fantástica: My experience today was very pleasant in and out staff very friendly

Experiencia fantástica: Its a very professional and friendly place. The 1st time I went there was for a emergency procedure and they immediately took care of me. Now me and my whole family goes here for our dental needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff and doctors are always great, Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Very through. I knew what to expect and very pleased with outcome and very accommodating with my schedule.

Experiencia fantástica: I started going there in October cause I was having tooth pain. Found out I need a root canal they got on the phone found a Dentist in Renton that could take me the same day. The receptionist that works with her back to the door rocks. They both rock but she goes above and answers my questions. Cause I be having many. Lol the whole team is dynamic. Today went in for my deep cleaning they are my new dentist office. If I had to rate them. 1 through 10. They get a 100

Experiencia fantástica: Been going to Kent family dentistry for around 30 years. Everyone is very professional and friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: Very Friendly, excellent atmosphere, great customer/patient service would recommend to anyone!

Experiencia fantástica: great service , friend environment and clean office

Experiencia fantástica: I love the whole team at Kent Family Dental! I came to them ashamed and embarrassed of the state of my teeth. I was expecting to hear that dentures were my future. Thanks to Dr. Pak and his amazing team, I have my own teeth (1 implant, full disclosure), and a beautiful smile. The kindness and skill that the handle my case with are limitless! I feel truly blessed! Thank you!

Experiencia negativa: New to me hygienist and dentist did not introduce themselves to me. Dentist did not tell me what additional work I need - told the hygienist. No oral hygiene tools provided to take home.

Experiencia fantástica: I am very pleased with the service that I have gotten at the Kent Family Dental

Experiencia fantástica: I’m a bit carry cat when it comes to dentist, soon as I entered here I was welcome with one of the nicest receptionist ! No long waiting time , taken back to be seated and gather more info on my situation this assistant was caring and patient ! Then the Dr. entered, I was really happily surprised that he was a very easy going , dentist who didn’t seem like a Dr yanky!! He helped me decided on what to address first ! Due to my hearing problem ( had to have him repeat ) but he too was patient and informed ! ! I left feeling like this was one of the best visits I’ve had in a long time ! Great atmosphere and great care ! Feel at ease to choose them . GHAlexsnder

Experiencia fantástica: Went in for teeth cleaning today. Everyone was friendly, courteous and professional. Teeth are clean now and no issues, so I’m happy.

Experiencia negativa: They filled my teeth couple years ago with silver materials which they damaged most of my teeth now. Elsewhere filling the teeth with the same color of your teeth. I understood when I visited another clinic.

Experiencia positiva: Cleaning was quick, thorough and painless. Disappointed there was not a dentist on duty to give a 15 second inspection/review.

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional and courteous. About as much fun as you can have at the dentist

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Kent Family Dental for over 5 years and love the friendly staff, and the thorough exams and cleanings I get every six months, thank you KFD!

Experiencia fantástica: August 7, 2025 I'm back again with a 5 star review for Dr. Espana. He extracted another tooth on Monday. It's Thursday and my mouth hasn't bothered me since extraction. Great job! September 6, 2024 Once again Dr Pak dug out a tooth that broke off at the gum line. And prepared for an implant. Earlier in the week Dr Sharifi fitted me with new crown.True professionals very gentle and efficient. I'm a happy camper. Had 2 fillings last week with Dr. Carrington. Procedure went perfect from numbing through fillings. Out within 45 minutes. Enjoyed a nice dinner 2 hours later. December 8 2023, Dr Pak extracted a broken tooth and prepared for implant. Mouth and jaw recovered by Dec 10 2023. I'm impressed with lack of pain.

Experiencia fantástica: Girl at front desk and doctors are soo nice and caring

Experiencia fantástica: The staff are super friendly and just very accommodating with appointments considering my busy work schedule… the dental work was amazing… got permanent crowning done and just amazed how natural it looked and the Dentist and Nurse God bless their heart are the best!

Experiencia fantástica: Since Dr Matheny retired our family has struggled with finding his replacement. I honestly feel Dr España is his replacement. He listens and has a conservatory approach to treatment.

Experiencia fantástica: Top notch dentistry, exceptional skills, kind and friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: Honestly the best place I have EVER been. The staff is amazing, kind, compassionate and very understanding. Im more then happy that I made the switch, I won’t go anywhere else. If you want to feel heard and understood while you’re going through what might be the scariest thing for you…. Come here. You won’t regret it!!! Ok follow up! I had to go through one of the most scariest things of my life, (multiple extractions) and let me just say the amount of care and effort that this team put in was amazing, and the follow up was just the same. I couldn’t be more grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: They maintain good notes/records in order to track my concerns and eating habits, and are considerate of key sensitive teeth when performing cleanings. I had an old filling replaced by them as well, and it was painless and quick. I look forward to receiving their input when I am there.

Experiencia positiva: Hygienist seemed to rush through ultrasonic cleaning and ended up doing more manual scraping than usual. I had a n 11 AM appointment and sat until 11:40 before dentist came and did a 10 minute procedure. This should be free of charge since if I miss an appointment they want to charge me.

Experiencia fantástica: So day they have been really great to work with and The hygienist was really helpful and patient.

Experiencia fantástica: Went in for a crown prep and tooth extraction with Dr. Espana and Kayley. As always, from the front staff Joelle to Kayley and Dr. Espana, Kent Family Dental always takes care of their patients. They were able to get me in and listen to my concerns and gave the best treatment plan to take care of my teeth. Thank you Kent Family Dental for always taking good care of me and also for your support during my cancer treatment. Your commitment to your patients by keeping them healthy and supported is what makes your service stand out from the rest. You guys are best!❤️

Experiencia fantástica: My first procedure here yesterday was awesome. Great people from the front office to Dr Bartola Espana and everyone in between. Had an old crown removed and a temporary put on and there's absolutely no pain today! Yay!

Experiencia fantástica: The receptionist is such a nice down to earth , they make you feel so welcome I really like this place

Experiencia fantástica: I needed to find a new dentist and decided to give Kent Family Dental a try. I’m so glad I did! Everyone was so kind snd friendly. The hygienist and dentist were thorough and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back. Update: I just went in for my second appointment and I’m still very pleased with Kent Family Dental. I definitely recommend them.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Pak is an excellent dentist. Takes time to make you comfortable and explains the procedures in detail. Answers all your questions.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience at Kent Family Dental by DR. BARTOLO ESPAÑA D.D.S for a tooth refill. The dentist explained every step clearly, making the process smooth and comfortable as I was nervous since it was my first time doing a refill. The staff was friendly, and the clinic was clean and professional. I highly recommend DR. BARTOLO ESPAÑA D.D.S for excellent dental care! Thank you

Experiencia fantástica: Best dentist ever! Every person at the clinic made me feel comfortable and clearly explained options and costs. They offered a discount since I had no dental insurance. Would absolutely recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Very Friendly place To be top notch service, fast and friendly…

Experiencia fantástica: I've been going to the same office for 30 years, and my awesome old school dentist retired. Since, the practice has been sold 3 times, didnt really like that. Dr. Sharifi is currently my dentist, and he assured me he'd be sticking around. I've waited to do a review, because i didn't want to post until I had something other than routine cleanings. I recently needed a crown and root canal, and would soon find out if Dr. Sharifi is a skilled dentist. He was awesome, crown procedure pain-free and months later I can tell we're good. I went with the endondonist he recommended, East Hill Endondonist and the root canal couldn't have gone better. Dr. Sharifi has a great bedside manner, and he's a very skilled dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going here anout a year already, n definitely I love it.. It was great when I first came to the office that isn’t the current one and all staffs was at that time made me have a good experience there for cleaning and check up.. They are so professional, nicely talked from the front desks to a hygienist.. I’ll keep going there as long as I still live in Kent ..

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience, super friendly, quality care

Experiencia fantástica: Well had a concern on my teeth...throbbing pain!! Called today advised what is up...got in a couple of hours!! Who does that anymore? The Dosctors checked me out...have a referral...and got in to the specialist Friday... Really can't express how grateful today was for me...Joelle, Step...they are front staff and amazing❤️ Highly recommended...so AWESOME!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Everything is very nice. The staff is very kind, Professional and friendly. The hygienist was working that its really gentle, caring to customer. Highly recommended!

Experiencia positiva: This was my first visit since Kent Family Dental took over this practice. I went in for my 6-month cleaning/checkup. Staff was friendly, and the hygienist was top notch. I did not get to meet the dentist, as he was not in the office that day. I did not ask why.

Experiencia fantástica: Dentist and staff were very professional and helpful. A very good experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I have always had a great experience at this dental office. I recently moved to this office after my longtime dentist retired. I was really worried about finding a new place. I really love the the staff from reception to hygienist to the dentists that I've gotten care from. They're efficient and do a great job. I know that my teeth are in good care there. I always have fresh and clean teeth!

Experiencia fantástica: Kent Family Dental is great. I had a dental emergency on a Friday and they helped me get a temporary fix and had me back at 8:00 AM Monday for a permanent resolution. They were professional and efficient providing me with a simple and affordable option when I would not have known the difference if they told me I had to have the more complex (expensive) procedure.

Experiencia fantástica: Tiffany is excellent helping with appointments and dealing with insurance- the staff are very professional!

Experiencia fantástica: the professional standard of customer service is outstanding which comes with politeness smiles look out for patient

Experiencia negativa: I recommend not to go there. Worst experience for front crown tooth. Had to come back four times for a temporary and all four time the temporary tooth came off, because none of them care to take their job seriously. Just wanted to do a quick fix to get you out of there. Smh

Experiencia fantástica: I am a senior who just discovered Kent Family Dental. I've had 3 appointments in about a month which included getting a crown. The entire team operates and contributes in a consistent, calm and very professional environment. I will absolutely continue to come to this hidden gem. Oh, and my gold crown looks and feels great! A couple years later I'm still coming to Kent Family Dental in their new and improved office! It's a little further but it's WELL WORTH IT. Thanks again K.F.D. Team! Still 5 Stars

Experiencia positiva: It was about a 25 minute wait to be called, but Sharon was great, as usual.

Experiencia fantástica: Thx for getting the two of us in eliminating a 2nd drive in from port orchard.today. I appreciate how comfortable the team makes me feel. Thank you for that.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Sharon as my hygienist since the 80s. She is always fabulous and kind.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Sharifi was amazing, I’ve never had a comfortable experience with my past dentist, but he was quick and precise with everything my teeth needed done, will definitely be coming back for all my dental needs in the future.

Experiencia negativa: They refused to perform my cleaning because my blood pressure was high. Have been a customer/patient for approximately 30 years (from back when this practice was Dr. Matheny’s). Looks as though I now need a new dentist. Far too high of a risk to schedule the time off of work when I can’t guarantee they will actually perform the cleaning. Want to know what raises my blood pressure? Nonsense like this.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly, competent, caring staff, who pride themselves on good dental care with a patient’s comfort as a priority. From Dr. Matheny to now, same excellent care for me for decades now.

Experiencia fantástica: Five stars hands down! if there was a 6th star I'd give it. I feel so fortunate to have found this DR. And his team. Very knowledgeable, professional, and clean. I found my new dentist for life.

Experiencia fantástica: Lin cleaned mt teeth. She was so gentle and kind. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Hello everybody! I would like to leave my review about this dental clinic. The level of quality is visible right from the doorstep of the clinik ; all the staff are friendly and smiling. The doctor was just super, he was tactful and polite. He told me all the problems, explained all the questions and answered them. I’ve actually been afraid of dentists since childhood . But after visiting this doctor, I am ready to visit this clinic ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: My family and I have been coming for two year's and they all are amazing, great customer service. Highly recommend it!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Have only ever had good experiences here! I have pretty bad dental anxiety and they're always very nice to me.

Experiencia fantástica: Very respectful and on time. Take their job Very seriously. Definitely would recommend anyone.

Experiencia negativa: They recommended root canal without really explaining why I needed it or what it entailed. Not happy with the dentist
