User Reviews for Dr. Karen McNeill-O'Connor- Smile Artistry

Two years ago I decided to make the substantial investment in a full-mouth restoration. My teeth were a mess. I had old, deep silver fillings and a broken molar. I had another consultation with a cosmetic dentist in the Seattle area before I decided to go with Dr. McNeill-O'Connor. The results were marvelous and life changing! I was very pleased, considering the state of my teeth before the work. However, Dr. Karen was concerned with the seating of one molar where a deep cavity left little tooth for even the most talented dentist to work with. It never bothered me. After the restoration was complete, I continued with her practice until a job change made it difficult to visit their Redmond office for routine cleanings. They were happy to refer me to a dentist closer to where I work and even made my first appointment. Being the perfectionist, Dr. Karen insisted before I transfer dentists that she rework the challenging area, costing her extra hours and materials and saving me the discomfort, time and expense of a crown lengthening procedure. I agree with other reviewers who advise if you are satisfied with dental care that you would rate "satisfactory" by your layperson's standard, you'll be astounded by her tenacity to give you the healthiest teeth ever!
Pros: Comforting atmosphere

Nowadays, it's common for most dentists to advertise "General and Cosmetic Dentistry". Don't be fooled. There is a big difference between those who are actualy trained in cosmetic and advanced reconstructive dentistry and those who are not. Dentists earn their doctorate degrees at various universities or colleges. (Dr. McNeill received her doctorate from The University of Washington). Of course some colleges are better than others, but my real point is colleges only teach a very basic level of cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry. If your looking for a filling, or other basic dental care..then fine, but if your looking for more..such as any kind of cosmetic, smile makeover...veneers.. full reconstructive..etc...then you need to find a dentist that has this level of advanced training. This training is only learned at a handful of facilities in the US and certainly not at any college. The best and most prestigous is LVI in Los Vegas, Nevada. This is where Dr. McNeill went for her advanced studies. She is a "LVI Graduate" ...meaning she completed all courses, (not just a few courses that some dentists take). This advanced training is ardous and and expensive investment for any dentist to make. In Seattle, there's really only handful dentists who are truly qualified with this training. Furthermore, I would ask the dentist how many "full mouth reconstructions" he or she has performed and for how long? I would suggest 5 years and over. In my experience, Dr McNeill and only 2 other dentists in Seattle have this experience. I had 12 veneers and gum reshaping not to mention some health related..a filling and a root canal. Anyways, I love my results, thought the services and technology they have at their disposal is top notch. Excellent!!
Pros: Superior - Advanced cosmetic and reconstructive experience
