Light Dental Studios

Due to improper billing to my insurance I owe this establishment money for something my insurance at the time would have covered. The bridge I received is bulky and much darker than the rest of my teeth. I would love to have it pulled out so that I can return it and get rid of the amount I owe. Aside from that, it is very sensitive and even hurts sometimes. The dentist always seemed in a hurry and busy. Sorry but if you are drilling in my mouth at least get to know the patient a little first. I also received a retreat from a «specialist» who did not take into consideration my TMJ and never asked if I needed a break or even to let her know if something felt uncomfortable. And yes she was fully aware from the get go. Now every time I pull into the parking lot to go to Safeway I shake my head and wish that I hadn’t have ever gone there.

I’m not one to write a review unless my experience is a stellar one or adversely horrible. Luckily in this case it is the former. We moved to Olympia about 6 months ago and my daughter needed a new orthodontist and dentist, we were recommended Light Dental studios and were not disappointed. My husband typically takes my daughter to these appointments to accommodate my work schedule (and dentist fears) but both came home raving after the first visit about how fantastic the whole Light Dental team was. Knowing I need extensive work and that I have an EXTREME fear of dentists, given past experiences, my husband took it upon himself to book an appointment for me after a few visits. Needless to say I was pissed, but prepared myself hoping the best and expecting the worst, not gonna lie– I had to take a few valiums just to get in the front door. From that point forward my whole dental world was changed! I cried the first time I had to open my mouth to show the damage and expected at least a lecture, instead I was met with compassion (not pity or disdain) and understanding. I was prepared to have them tell me most if not all teeth would need to be removed as I had heard in the past and instead they told me I could be saved with a lot of dedication and work, it sounded daunting but they are helping me take it in steps, this appointment we are only dealing with this, next appointment we will deal with this, etc. Instead of seeing a giant mountain that could not be overcome because if shame and fear, I see small hills that are much easier to maneuver. I have encountered only kind and caring people in the last 4 months and while I still have a ways to go I’m not afraid anymore. I’m taking care of myself so that I can have a beautiful smile like my daughter and it’s only due to the Light Dental team. Special shout out to Casey at who is honestly an angel in disguise. She texts me on the regular just to check in or make sure I’m doing ok after a visit. Every time I come in and she’s there it’s like seeing an old friend you’ve known forever, she just makes everyone feel comfortable and her energy is infectious. When my daughter sees her on her visits she says the same thing that she is a total sweetheart and loves when Casey is in. These days going to the dentist isn’t so bad, I don’t think it’ll ever be fun but waking up early to get your teeth drilled is a lot easier with the easy, competent, caring people at Light Dental.

This is the Best dentist office I have ever been to. First, Dr Collins answered the phone because everyone else was busy. Then he and half the office spent four days trying everything they could think of to figure out which insurance company we had. They called, they emailed, they faxed, they went through every portal of every single insurance company available to state employees. On the day we got there, they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and explain how our insurance worked. Every step needed to bring our teeth to perfect health was explained as well cheaper options and all of the pros and cons of both. The office was even willing to eat a charge or two to keep our work under insurance maximums. Finally, they sent us a personalized welcome to the practice card that commended my wife, who hates needles and dentists, for overcoming her fear and getting her tooth filled. They are hands down fantastic.

Dr. Collins and his staff are wonderful! They got me in day of, for a last minute procedure, at a time that was convenient for my schedule. His front office staff is knowledgeable and incredibly welcoming. Love his hygienists, they’re so professional and friendly. Dr. Collins listens to you concerns and works with you to find the best solution! THANKS SO MUCH!!!

I was having the worst tooth pain I have ever had and I called Light Dental Studios about setting up an appointment! It was my first time going there and it turned out great. I have a horrible gag reflex which made it uncomfortable for me, but they were so patient with me. Dr. Collins and the staff there were great. Made my experience very amazing and plan on going back! Thanks again for all your help. I highly recommend this place and the people that work there. My pain is now gone and will be back there shortly for more maintenance. The only thing that was awful was the Husky shirt Dr. Collins was wearing! :-) Go Cougs!

Tried to make an appointment awhile back and the receptionist was a complete b*tch. Ally was unprofessional and rude.
To Jordan:
The only way I’d be interested in giving your place a second chance is if Ally was gone!

We drive over an hour, because Dr. Collins is so amazing! He is comprehensive, gentle and explains everything in a way you can understand. He is amazing with children — he is able to calm them and get work done that other dentists haven’t been able to do. A big THANK YOU to Dr. Collins and the rest of the team at Light Dental Studios in Lacey!

This is a awesome place. I feel very comfortable there. Everybody there is very professional and caring. Dr. Collins and the staff do a wonderful job! I would highly recommend them.

Dr. Collins was amazing! He took the time to really explain what I truly needed done and and in which order I should do them to give me the best results! Emily did an amazing job at getting in there and scrubbing my teeth clean, some places were rather tender and she was very receptive when I told her so. Btittany was awesome and gave me a very warm, pleasant welcome. She didn’t talk to me like I was just another patient but really got to know me as a person. I will HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a dentist! Thanks for the awesome time, y’all rock!

I recently had my exam and cleaning here and was very impressed. The staff were very friendly and professional. The hygienist did a great job cleaning my teeth and I lived to tell the story :) The dentist who saw me was also great. When I called to get an appointment, I talked directly to the dentist who got me in the same day for both the exam and the cleaning. I was in and out in about 45 minutes!

I’ve been going to light dental for about a year and a half now and I have never been disappointed with them, they are friendly and helpful and always do whatever they can to help with whatever problems I may have, I definitely would recommend them to anyone that needs dental service!

We took the kids to Light Dental Studios in Lacey and the service is A+! Dr. Jordan Collins, Allie and the rest of the assistants were helpful and great with kids. We went there one day because my daughter complained of a toothache and we didn’t have an appointment, Allie squeezed her in to be seen. The clinic may look plain but it is super clean. I don’t know about prices but dental work had always been expensive IMO. But finding the right dentist can be tough so if your kids suddenly look forward to having their cavities filled or cant wait for their next appointment, then you know you have a keeper. Highly recommended!
