We offer a wide range of dental services for every member of the family at our Mukilteo, WA practice.
Managing dental care for your entire family often means juggling multiple appointments at different offices, repeating medical histories to unfamiliar providers, and coordinating schedules that accommodate everyone’s needs.
When children see one dentist, adults visit another, and specialized treatments require referrals elsewhere, dental care becomes complicated and time-consuming rather than the straightforward preventive service it should be.
Harbour Pointe Family Dentistry provides comprehensive care for patients of all ages in one welcoming location.
Dr. Christopher Johnson has been treating multiple generations of Mukilteo families for 35 years, offering everything from children’s preventive care to adult restorative and cosmetic treatments, allowing your entire family to build lasting relationships with a dental team that understands your unique needs and history.
How do you benefit from family dentistry? Here are a few ways:
Hygiene/Periodontics
Plan on spending an hour with us on your periodontic appointments. A healthy smile starts with healthy gums. So, we promise to be gentle but thorough to make sure we are giving your smile the healthy foundation it needs.
What can you expect during your appointment? If you are a new patient, we will review your dental history, take necessary X-rays and examine your mouth. Once we’ve talked with you about any concerns you may have, we will create a treatment plan.
During routine appointments, we will follow through with the predetermined treatment and may perform preventative or therapeutic treatments such as applying fluoride or periodontal treatment.
The Benefits of Family Dental Care
Choosing a family dentist simplifies your life while ensuring consistent, coordinated care for everyone in your household. Your children become comfortable with the same friendly faces they see at every visit, reducing anxiety and building positive associations with dental care that last into adulthood. Having all your family’s records in one location means we can identify patterns, track hereditary concerns, and provide personalized recommendations based on your family’s specific health history.
Consolidated appointments save time and reduce stress. Schedule siblings together or coordinate your cleaning with your child’s checkup, making the most of your time rather than making multiple trips to different offices. We also understand family dynamics and can tailor our communication and treatment approaches to each family member’s age, personality, and comfort level.
Dental Implant Crowns
Sometimes, a tooth becomes so damaged that it requires a dental crown to protect it and keep it healthy.
When a tooth is so damaged it must be removed, a dental implant may be used to replace the missing tooth root. Once the implant is in place in the jaw, it is covered by a dental crown. Dental crowns are made of ceramic that is durable and highly customizable to shape and color.
Our office makes the entire dental crown process easier and faster by using revolutionary CEREC dental implants technology. This system uses digital impressions and an in-office milling machine to create your new dental implant right here in our office. You can come in for your appointment and leave wearing your new crown the same day! No need to wait!
Metal Free Fillings
Metal-free fillings are the best option for keeping your smile healthy and beautiful.
Composite resin fillings are used instead of metal. There are many advantages to composite fillings. Many people are allergic to metal, but composite fillings are allergen-free. Also, composite fillings are bonded to the enamel surface of your tooth, which means they do a better job at keeping out bacteria and protecting your tooth than metal fillings.
One of the things our patients love the best about composite fillings is no more ugly metal fillings marring their smile. Composite resin fillings can be color-customed to match your own teeth’s natural color. They look and feel like your own teeth!
Sports & Mouthguards
A custom mouthguard is used to protect your teeth from forces that can damage them.
Some people experience something called bruxism or teeth grinding. Especially while they are sleeping, they may tightly clench or grind their teeth together. Over time, this can cause wear or even cracks to the protective enamel of their teeth.
A custom-fitted mouthguard can protect your teeth at night without interfering with your restful night’s sleep.
Many children are involved in sports at school, and many dental injuries are related to these sports. It’s important to protect your child’s teeth with a mouthguard that is custom-fitted and comfortable to wear.
Preventive Focus for All Ages
Prevention remains the cornerstone of family dentistry. Regular dental exams and cleanings every six months allow us to monitor your family’s oral health, identify potential problems before they become serious, and provide guidance on maintaining healthy teeth and gums at home. These consistent visits also help children and adults alike stay comfortable with dental care, reducing the anxiety that can develop when people only visit the dentist when problems arise.
During preventive visits, we assess each family member’s unique risk factors and provide personalized recommendations. Children may need dietary guidance or habit modification. Adults might benefit from nightguards to protect teeth from grinding. Seniors may require more frequent periodontal maintenance. By tailoring our preventive approach to individual needs, we help every family member maintain their healthiest smile.
Emergency Care When You Need It
Dental emergencies don’t follow convenient schedules, and having a trusted family dentist means knowing where to turn when urgent situations arise. We make every effort to accommodate emergency appointments on the same day, providing prompt care for severe toothaches, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, or dental infections affecting any family member.
Whether your child falls and chips a tooth during sports or you develop a sudden abscess, our familiarity with your family’s dental history allows us to provide more informed, efficient emergency care. We understand your concerns, know your medical backgrounds, and can quickly assess situations to provide appropriate treatment that addresses both immediate pain and long-term oral health.
Children’s Dentistry
We really love our younger patients, and it shows!
Creating positive dental experiences during childhood establishes habits and attitudes that influence oral health for a lifetime. We provide gentle, patient-centered care that helps children feel safe and comfortable during their visits. Our team takes time to explain procedures in age-appropriate language, answer questions, and address any concerns your child may have about dental treatment.
Preventive care for children includes thorough exams, professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants that protect vulnerable molars from decay. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, dental sealants reduce cavities in back teeth by nearly 80 percent, making them one of the most effective preventive measures for school-age children. We also educate families about proper brushing techniques, dietary choices that protect teeth, and habit management like thumb sucking that can affect dental development.
Dentures
Sometimes, damaged teeth can reach a stage where removing them is one of the best options.
When this becomes necessary, we understand how uncomfortable and inconvenient it can be. Also, we know that you want to replace those missing teeth with dentures that fit well, are comfortable, function correctly, and look natural. Modern-day dentures can do all of that.
Dr. Johnson and his team will help to make this entire process as quick, smooth, and easy as possible.
Comprehensive Care for Adults
Adult dental care addresses both immediate concerns and long-term oral health goals. Routine preventive appointments catch problems early, while restorative treatments repair damage from decay, injury, or wear. Whether you need dental crowns to strengthen damaged teeth, bridges to replace missing teeth, or root canal therapy to save an infected tooth, we provide comprehensive solutions that restore both function and appearance.
Many adults also seek cosmetic improvements to enhance their smiles. Professional teeth whitening removes years of staining, while porcelain veneers correct multiple imperfections simultaneously. Invisalign clear aligners straighten teeth without the appearance of traditional braces, offering a discreet option for adults who want orthodontic results. We’ll discuss your goals and recommend treatments that achieve the outcomes you want within your timeline and budget.
Specialized Care for Seniors
As we age, oral health needs change. Medications can cause dry mouth, increasing cavity risk. Gum recession exposes tooth roots, creating sensitivity and vulnerability to decay. Old dental work may need replacement, and tooth loss becomes more common. We provide specialized care that addresses these age-related concerns while maintaining comfort and function.
Our experienced hygiene team utilizes advanced topical anesthetics and gentle techniques to provide comfortable care for patients with sensitive teeth or gums. We work closely with your other healthcare providers when medical conditions affect your dental treatment, ensuring coordinated care that considers your overall health status. Whether you need dentures, implant-supported restorations, or ongoing periodontal maintenance, we create treatment plans that preserve your quality of life.
Endodontics (Root Canal)
We really love our younger patients, and it shows!
Saving your natural tooth and restoring its function is always the best option.
Root canal therapy from our Mukilteo, WA practice can do that, preventing the need for an extraction. It cleans out bacteria and damage at the root of a tooth and protects it from further damage by using a protective crown. Learn more about root canals here.
While Dr. Johnson is using his expert skills to save your tooth, you will be enjoying watching TV or listening to your favorite music, and our team will be making sure you are comfortable throughout your procedure.
Bridges
If you have a broken, cracked, or damaged tooth, dental bridges can restore your smile.
A dental bridge is used to replace missing teeth. A crown is fixed in place by using the adjacent teeth as a support, creating a “bridge” effect over the gap.
Bridges are a simple and effective way to give you back your full, healthy, and beautiful smile!
Creating a Comfortable Environment
Our office maintains a welcoming atmosphere where patients of all ages feel at ease. From the moment you walk through the door, our friendly staff makes your family feel valued and cared for rather than rushed through appointments. We take time to listen to concerns, answer questions thoroughly, and ensure everyone understands their treatment options before proceeding.
Modern amenities and advanced technology enhance comfort during visits. Our iTero intraoral scanner eliminates messy traditional impressions, and digital X-rays use significantly less radiation while providing clearer diagnostic images. We also offer flexible scheduling that accommodates busy family calendars, making it easier to prioritize dental care without disrupting work, school, or other commitments.
Insurance and Payment Options
We accept Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Regence insurance plans, and our experienced team works with your insurance provider to maximize benefits for your entire family. We’ll verify coverage, provide accurate cost estimates, and handle claims processing to make using your insurance straightforward and stress-free.
For treatments not covered by insurance or for families without dental coverage, we offer financing through CareCredit. This provides flexible payment plans that allow you to receive necessary care immediately while managing costs over time. We believe every family deserves access to quality dental care regardless of their financial situation.
Dental Crowns
We really love our younger patients, and it shows!
A dental crown is a hollow cap which goes over your natural tooth to protect it from decay and damage while restoring its strength, shape, and appearance.
These caps look and feel just like real teeth, improving your smile and making it easy to bite, chew, and speak as usual.
Dental crowns are highly durable, lasting for many years.
