Ritu Bahl, DMD

Dr. Bahl and her staff are amazing! I have had some cleanings and a few cavities filled and I can’t say enough about the professionalism, care, friendliness, and craftsmanship they put into their work while making their patients feel comfortable and at ease. It truly is a great dental office and I would highly recommend making it your new office in the Seattle area.

Dr. Bahl and her team are nice, fun, and very sweet! I have never been shamed or made to feel bad in this office, and they’re willing to work with you on payments. I wish she’d been my dentist growing up! Also: location is right by the U Village, so it’s great for getting chores and shopping done before or after your appointment.

I’ve been coming here for a year now and it’s always an wonderful experience. Everyone is so incredibly nice, from the front desk staff on through to Dr. Bahl herself. Prices and procedures are explained in full and they take their time with your appointment. It’s rare that I get this excited about a business but I honestly go out of my way to recommend to them to everyone I meet. The office and equipment are clean, modern, and comfortable and Dr. Bahl knows her stuff. Sally the hygienist is super sweet and does an excellent job.

Dr. Bahl is friendly, easy to talk to and knowledgeable. Going to her office has always been a pleasant experience. Her hygenist Sally also does a very thorough cleaning and is very nice too. I highly recommend this dental practice.

Dr. Bahl and all the staff at U District Smiles are the most amazing people. They’re all so friendly and helpful and gleefully entertaining in an otherwise somber situation. Everyone there is very genuine and honestly wants to do what’s best for you.
I’m traveling to Europe and I’ll be gone for 6 months, but I wasn’t able to fit a teeth cleaning into my schedule until about 3 weeks before I left. Sure enough, I had a cavity that needed to be taken care of. We scheduled the appointment for a week before my trip and I was off. But then I found out the day before I was booked that I owuldn’t be able to come in. I frantically contacted them and sure enough, Dr. Bahl was so gracious and offered to stay late one day the next week so that we could get it taken care of.
I can’t say how grateful I am for this office!

Dr. Ritu Bahl is the best dentist I have been to. She is very professional and helpful. I have found her diagnosis and medical follow through to always be concise and thoughtful. Her staff and practice is among the few tech savvy ones in the area. I would highly recommend her.

Best dentist ever. Kind, careful, and honest. Not many people enjoy going to the dentist, but I do now. She, and her staff, are fantastic. She’s awesome. Go to her!

Such a friendly and qualified staff! Got me right in and there was no wait. Clean, organized, and lovely!

This has been the best dentist I have ever been to. Dr. Ritu Bahl is kind and reverses the stereotype of dentist visits being unpleasant and painful. I came in with terrible tooth pain from another dentist, and they were sympathetic, honest, and very helpful. Because of the friendly staff, I actually don’t mind dentist visits. I have never recommended a dentist to my friends in Seattle so passionately.

Dr. Bahl is a wonderful dentist! She’s an expert at putting people at ease and making them feel comfortable. I love how friendly and sincerely nice she and all of her staff are. I’ve been going to her for over a year now since my last dentist retired, and I’m incredibly happy with my choice (I did lots of research).
I have a difficult to numb mouth (apparently my nerves aren’t where they should be), but she is very careful when doing my fillings to make sure I am pain-​free. Technically, she’s a great dentist with lots of experience and has lots of great review on health-​related review websites too.
There is free parking in the lot.

I love going to see Dr. Bahl! She is friendly, fun to talk to, compassionate and clinically excellent. The first time I went to her was when my porcelain crown cracked and urgently had to be replaced. Her office got me in right away and the work was done expertly and comfortably. After seeing her regularly for the last few years, I feel that my oral health has really improved. Also, she runs a fair and honest practice.
Dr. Bahl now provides our whole family with excellent dental care and we will continue to make the drive from Bothell to see her! I will continue to strongly recommend her to all of my friends and family in the Seattle area. All around great experience!

Dr. Bahl and her staff are excellent and always welcoming each and every time I come in. I always feel very comfortable when getting work done. She takes the time to explain the pros and cons regarding any decisions I might need to make about my teeth. She is a top notch dentist, personable, and I feel like really cares about what is best for me and my teeth (not just recommending the most expensive option). I would highly recommend Dr. Bahl and her staff.

Dr. Bahl is great., as is the entire office. She’s very friendly and thorough with her recommendations for your dental care. The hygienists are also very knowledgeable and friendly, and office staff are great. It’s easy to make appointments. The space is clean and inviting and they are very professional. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a new dentist.

I recently moved to Seattle and needed a new dentist. I was very satisfied with Dr Bahl and her staff. The office was clean and everyone there was friendly. I feel like I received a high quality of care and attention. Plan on making her my primary dentist from now on.

U District Smiles is a great local dentistry. Located conveniently near U-​Village, they provide a superior service in close proximity to the large student body of UW and the residences of the laurelhurst, sand point, wedgwood, bryant and ravenna neighborhoods.
When first searching for a dentist near my home, I had a tough time finding one with flexibility and windows to get me in with my large work schedule. U District Smiles did a great job fitting in a lot of work around my schedule in a timely manner. Over the last few months, I’ve become very acquainted with Dr. Bahl and her great staff. They did not chastise me for my below average oral hygeine but put me on track to not have to return to the dentist outside of the bi-​annual cleanings. The ladies of U Distrct Smile are fun, gentle and professionals in all aspects. On top of the great chemistry the office has, they are on the leading edge of technology. Dr. Bahl noticed that I had a couple canker sores in a couple areas and she took the time to do some laser treatment for $ 0 charge just to keep my suffering at bay. In addition it helped heal faster, made the day at the dentist more bearable and showed the exceptional service and attention to detail.

I’m totally afraid of the dentist. I’d found one I really liked, but unfortunately she relocated across the country and I was once again on the dentist hunt. How do you find a dentist who is friendly, not money-​hungry, and not totally terrifying? Ask a coworker and get referred to Dr. Bahl, of course!
Everyone at the office was super-​friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like I was in good hands the entire time and like there won’t be any needless dental work in my future. Like another reviewer said, it really did feel almost like visiting with a friend rather than a dentist, which is great for anxious people like me!
My only complaint was the office was a bit hard to find, and once I found it, it took me a second to realize where the parking was. But there IS parking, and now that I know where I’m going I don’t think this will be a problem again.
I’m never going to be excited for a dentist visit, but I feel a lot less apprehensive now that I’ve started seeing Dr. Bahl. Recommend!

Went to Dr. Bahl for the first time, and it felt more like visiting with a friend that getting dental work done. She really knew her stuff, too. 5 stars from me! Thanks Ritu!

Ritu is extremely Knowledgeable and understanding when it comes to your teeth, not only did she improve my smile, but leads by example! With Ritu, I know there will always be a great smile on her face when I walk in the door. She was gentle and comforting while doing my wisdom teeth extractions and explained the whole process to me so i had nothing to fear! I would very highly recommend her as your dentist!
