Dr. Marie Durflinger Expands Successful Dental Practice to Bellevue
Seattle Metropolitan magazine’s Top Dentist Celebrates Award and New Eastside Family Practice, Bella Dental Care, with Complimentary Whitening for New Patients

BELLEVUE, Wash. (April 7, 2010) — Dr. Marie Durflinger, selected the region’s Top Dentist by Seattle Metropolitan magazine for 2009 and 2010, is giving the Seattle-Bellevue metropolitan area something big to smile about.

To celebrate the second consecutive award and the opening of her second location, Bella Dental Care in Bellevue, Dr. Durflinger is offering all new patients who schedule a comprehensive exam, with full mouth x-rays and an initial cleaning, complimentary, custom-made bleaching trays—a $400 value. This special, obligation-free promotion is also offered to new patients at Auburn Family Dental, her successful practice of 13 years.

Durflinger’s career in dentistry began in 1983, when she graduated from the University of Washington with a B.S. in Dental Hygiene. After practicing dental hygiene for eight years, she earned a Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree from Loma Linda University in 1995, and has since completed a mentorship with Dr. John C. Kois at the Center for Creating Restorative Excellence (Seattle), a widely recognized post-graduate advanced dental learning center.

In 2004, Dental Economics magazine selected Auburn Family Dental as ‘Office of the Month’ and featured it on the cover. This honor inspired William M. Allen, PhD, to submit to the magazine, “I have visited hundreds of offices of Loma Linda University School of Dentistry alumni...I was impressed with Marie and her office and have cited it when talking with other dentists...I feel the ambiance of an office is indicative of the quality of the dental work...Marie has set the standard for harmoniously combining personality, ambiance and dental specialty.”

Bella Dental Care is spa-like in atmosphere: While offering the very latest state-of-the-art technology and advanced techniques in affordable cosmetic dentistry, the practice’s surroundings and amenities are designed to make patients as comfortable and relaxed as possible, from free wi-fi, comfort blankets, warm neck pillows and massage chairs to soothing lighting, CD headphones, and calming aromatherapy.

“Many people are fearful about dental visits and the cost associated with them, so I try to make their experience as calming and comfortable as possible. Oftentimes, we segment individual treatment plans, making it affordable for each patient to complete their dental needs. We listen to our patients because communication is the key for success,” says Dr. Durflinger.

Services at Bella Dental Care range from basic, thorough dental exams to full cosmetic restoration. For a complete listing, visit www.belladentalcare.net.
