It’s great news that the incidence of tooth decay has significantly diminished over the years due to the use of fluorides and increased patient awareness. However, teeth are still susceptible to decay, infection, and breakage, and sometimes need to be restored to health. With improved techniques and modern technology, we can now offer more options for restoring a tooth to its normal shape, appearance, and function.
Should your teeth ever require restorative treatment, you can rest assured that we will always discuss the available options with you and recommend the most comfortable and least invasive treatment we believe is appropriate. This is part of the family dental care options we offer to help you feel confident in your care and your smile.
Reasons for restorative dentistry:
- Enhance your smile.
- Fill in unattractive spaces between teeth.
- Improve or correct an improper bite.
- Prevent the loss of a tooth.
- Relieve dental pain.
- Repair damaged and decayed teeth.
- Replace missing teeth.
- Replace old, unattractive dental treatments.
- Restore normal eating and chewing.
Understanding Insurance & Payment Options
The cost of restorative dental care can vary depending on the treatment needed, but many procedures, such as fillings, crowns, and tooth replacement options, are often partially covered by dental insurance. Our team will review your plan with you and provide a clear estimate before treatment so you know exactly what to expect.
At Burien Dental, we accept most major dental insurance plans and are a preferred provider with Delta Dental, Regence, Premera, Lifewise, and Guardian.
If you need additional flexibility, financing options from Sunbit and Cherry let you spread treatment costs into manageable monthly payments. Applications are quick, and many patients are approved within minutes.

You know those people that say “I love my dentist!!” and you just look at them and roll your eyes because like that’s so “pick me”… no one loves their dentist… well I am devastated to report that after visiting Burien Dental… I am now a “pick me” gal. I love my dentist AND his fabulous staff, and I’m not afraid to say it. First up, Katie, my gal, my queen, my front desk diva, she responds even on weekends (insane dedication btw). She gets you booked up and ready to go for your appointment, greets you with a smile and makes sure that you are ready to go slay the day (and have another appointment booked) when you’re done. Next up, we have Sarbjot, a woman who has dental cleanings down to a science. Like is the government aware? This woman’s precision and care should be studied. If you are lucky enough to work with her, learn from her. Don’t make me say it again. And last we have Dr. La Rota himself, a man who so passionately loves what he does and where he works that his joy can be felt across the entire office. Whether it’s thoughtfully presenting a treatment plan, or getting a nervous child to laugh, you know immediately when you are in his presence that you are in the hands of someone who cares about you and your smile. So yes, “pick me”, choose me, brush my teeth, or whatever the heck Meredith Grey said. If loving Burien Dental is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
Great work, very professional and attentive. They did an amazing job telling me in detail about my teeth and helping me figure out the best solution and treatment I need.
Hayley is a rock star! She is thorough, kind, gentle, and speedy. The staff all treat you like family! I always walk away from Burien Dental with a sparkling smile!
Always a great experience coming to the office! I’ve been going to Burien Dental for years and the staff is very nice and friendly.
Got my cleaning done by Hailey and she was a rockstar. Lots of great recommendations and information to set me up for success! Thanks much Hailey!
I always have a good experience with Burien Dental since 2023. Their office is clean. Staffs are always nice. They take care of me well and all the services were fantastic.
Hayley is professional, knowledgeable, efficient, kind, and mindful of my sensitivity as well. Dr. La Rota is always a pleasure to see and I feel comfortable and confident my dental needs are taken care of.
Fantastic place, very friendly. My old dentist moved away so I’ve been looking for a new one. Came here to give it a go and they helped me tremendously! Highly recommend coming in and finding a great dentist.
Great dentist and the staff is great too!

I love the staff and dentist. They are great every time. My, my hygienist was fabulous. I am very pleased with all the treatments I have had. Thank you
Hands down the best dental experience I’ve had. Dr. La Rota and his team take wonderful care of you and provide such a great experience. Will forever be my go-to dentist.
I hadn’t been to the dentist in over 20 years, and honestly, I was embarrassed and nervous walking in. But this is the most comfortable and welcoming dental office I’ve ever experienced. They made me feel at ease from the moment I arrived, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Hayley is the goat
I’ve been a patient here for years and I can’t recommend them highly enough. I’m very nervous about dental visits and they make me feel so relaxed and I know they have my dental health as a priority. Highly recommend!
Always a great experience here and the staff is wonderful! Sarbjot is my hygenist and she always takes such good care of me! 😊
Would recommend to a friend, I worked with Christa, Lexi and My and felt very cared for throughout and listened to! 10/10 all around!
Great cleaning, lovely staff and clean office. As a brand new patient I definitely recommend Burien Dental!
Burien Dental is the best in all the land !!! I’m incredibly lucky to have all of my dental concerns taken care of !! I’ve struggled with periodontal disease for years , and Hayley has gotten me back on track - happy smiles!
Great experience from top to bottom!
Awesome personal service really feel comfortable with my hygienist Hailey. They really took the time to address any concerns or issues that I’ve had with my teeth in the past 10/10 would recommend.
Really wonderful experience and top of the line technology. Happy to have found Burien Dental!
Burien Dental is a stellar practice! I found them via Google and every positive review is accurate. Every person I interacted with was professional, thoughtful, communicative, and personable! I felt taken care of especially for not being able to make it to the dentist for 7 years. I highly recommend their services.
Very cute dental office with very nice, professional, and knowledgeable staff!
Burien Dental is fantastic—friendly staff, gentle cleanings, and a dentist who takes time to explain everything clearly. The office is clean, efficient, and genuinely focused on patient comfort. Highly recommend.
Great care-friendly staff. Been coming here for years.
Dependable and kind.
Dr. La Rota and his team are incredible. Super friendly and informative! I felt very comfortable here. I recommend anyone to come by and get your teeth taken care of here!
Burien Dental is wonderful! I enjoy my visits with the great decor refresh and clean environment. They are always on time, front reception knows you by name and super nice. I am appreciative to my hygienist Sarbjot who is very relatable and really knowledgeable. She is the best! I have enjoyed working with Dr. La Rota, he is calming and informs me of how I am doing with health and how to be proactive and preventive. I have given a referral to Burien Dental and will continue to do so! Very pleased and even drive down from Edmonds to go to my appointments!
If you had dental anxiety this is a great place to go. I was super nervous before my first appointment because you never know if the providers will take your fears seriously but everyone that I have interacted with here has been great and very respectful. I have had a cleaning and a cavity filled and both times they took their time, didn't make me feel like they were in a rush and didn't make me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend them!
Been coming here for years, dental health has never been better.
Such a great experience at this dental office! I haven’t been in a few years due to a negative experience at a different office. Everyone was super kind and professional, I was really impressed by the high level of technology to get images of my teeth so I could really see where some of the problem areas are. I felt like it was a collaborative experience to work towards my dental goals. Mei was wonderful, highly recommend!
Friendly and professional.
Attentive and efficient
Hayley is the best hygienest i ever had. Always so accomodating and pleasant. I enjoyed visiting this office because of her. And the new Dr is also very pleasant and nice.
i have been looking for a new dentist place since moving and i’m so glad i went here! they’re so nice and knowledgeable. i feel confident with my future visits and feel like i’m in great hands. would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a new place!!
Truly a 10/10 experience. I’ve been fortunate to receive dental care my entire life, and I can confidently say this was the best dental experience I’ve ever had. Dr. La Rota took the time to sit with me, listen to my concerns, and thoughtfully walk me through my treatment options, I never once felt rushed or overlooked. The dental hygienist, Sarbjot, was exceptional: incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and so intentional about explaining each step of the cleaning process. I genuinely appreciate understanding what’s happening and she offered helpful tips and insights that made the entire visit feel empowering and comfortable. From start to finish, everyone at this office was warm, friendly, and approachable. Burien Dental truly sets the standard for patient care, and I’m so grateful to have found them. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!
Everyone was so gentle, patient, and genuinely caring. You can tell they really want people to feel comfortable and taken care of and it makes such a difference.
Have loved this place for a long time! They are Great with kids which really helps so our whole family can come here. Highly recommend! They are all so friendly and helpful with everything.
Quick, professional & easy! Thank you.
Me this morning: I get to go to see my amazing dental team today! Worth the drive to Burien. Dr.Rota and all the staff at Burien Dental are the best! Love my hygenist, Sarbjot, she is thorough, gentle and encouraging. Highly recommend!
Sarbjot and Dr. La Rota are the best! Their knowledge and care are top tier. Always gentle in my mouth and my son’s mouth. They explain everything in detail and with pictures so we understand everything.
Always a great time here, Hayley kicks a bunch of ass (I mean, they all do!) and I won't go anywhere else!
A great place! Been coming here since I was a kid
