Dr. Sophon Heng, DDS, is dedicated to providing dental care to uninsured adults in Edmonds. His practice, located in a modern but unpretentious office, focuses on comprehensive dental services tailored for those without insurance. A Seattle native, Dr. Heng graduated from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco in 2001.
Reflecting on changes in the dental industry, Dr. Heng states, “I felt the need to do it differently, the ‘uninsured way.’” His approach combines advanced technology with a commitment to keeping costs low. By maintaining modest facilities and controlling overhead expenses, he can offer services at a lower price point.
For instance, Dr. Heng charges $699 for a lifelike crown made with the latest materials and technology. This price is significantly lower than the typical $1,200 charged by other dental offices for similar crowns.
Additionally, other treatments at his practice are priced 30-60% less than average. Root canals and immediate dentures are also available for $699 each, while cleanings start at just $50.
Patients appreciate Dr. Heng’s practice as a refreshing alternative to profit-driven corporate healthcare models. Channa, the office manager, notes, “We get such a positive response from all our patients, and we meet so many wonderful, appreciative people.” She emphasizes that they treat every patient like family.
Karen, a dental assistant, adds, “We explain to our patients that we don’t cut corners on care, treatment, or materials. We take pride in treating our patients, not just their teeth.” The team is passionate about dentistry and committed to providing quality care driven by a desire to help others.
Many of Dr. Heng’s patients are individuals of all ages who lack dental insurance or have limited coverage that offers minimal benefits. He assures them there are no gimmicks—just modern dentistry at an affordable price.
