About Federal Way Modern Dentistry

Nervous patients often mention small comforts like a blanket during procedures and staff confirming numbing takes full effect before starting.

Federal Way Modern Dentistry is a general dental practice that also offers clear aligners for patients wanting to straighten their teeth. Many reviews center on how the office handles dental anxiety, describing steps like offering a blanket during a procedure or confirming a patient is fully numb before beginning work. Reviewers also note that doctors, including Dr. Ahn, catch issues previous dentists missed and walk through treatment plans before starting. A smaller number of reviews raise concerns about being pushed toward extra procedures or surprised by billing.

“

1 Star I came in as a cash-pay patient with no dental insurance just wanting a basic teeth cleaning. The office refused to do the cleaning unless I also paid for X-rays first. Even though I was ready to pay out of pocket for the cleaning alone, they would not proceed without the X-rays. It felt like they were more focused on selling extra services than simply cleaning my teeth. For someone paying cash, being told “X-rays or nothing” is frustrating and comes across as a money grab. I left without getting any cleaning done. I would not recommend this office if you only need a basic cleaning and are paying yourself.

I just happened to get guided here by another dentist, and I am very glad I did. They have been very professional and make you feel comfortable. Dr. Ahn and here assistant’s Katie and Aileen, care and have made it so I can smile again with confidence. Much appreciation to Dr. Ahn and her team!

Had a a couple fillings fall out from a previous visit with them. They fix it for free since it was within 1 year. But was painful and unnecessary in my opinion. Second visit was better. Friendly people. Very young staff so maybe the fillings falling out was due to the amount of experience. Anyway. Not thrilled, but not unhappy.
