Healthy Smiles

What Healthy Smiles does

Healthy Smiles by Dr. Saturay is a privately held, single-location dental practice operating from 3222 California Ave SW in West Seattle, Washington, founded in 2012 and led by Dr. Kathleen Saturay, DDS, with two associate dentists (Dr. Mitra Behforooz and Dr. Yasmeen Shalabi) and a small clinical and administrative team. The practice provides the full spectrum of general, cosmetic, pediatric, and specialty dental services, including preventive care (cleanings, sealants, fluoride), restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, dentures), cosmetic procedures (porcelain veneers, Zoom whitening, dental bonding, CEREC same-day restorations, Invisalign), pediatric dentistry, sedation dentistry, laser-based soft-tissue procedures, sleep-disordered breathing treatment, and TMJ therapy.

The practice is built on a digital dentistry platform centered on CEREC CAD/CAM with in-office Prime Mill milling, 3D cone beam CT imaging, iTero digital scanning, Prime Print 3D printing, dual CO2 and diode laser systems, AI-enhanced digital radiography, intraoral cameras, and T-Scan occlusal analysis. These capabilities enable same-day crowns and bridges, guided implant surgery, minimally invasive laser procedures, and remote clear-aligner monitoring via Dental Monitoring. Patient engagement is supported by a chartless digital records environment, the Modento patient app for scheduling and payments, and a website with patient education content.

The business model is fee-for-service dental care paid at the time of service, with insurance billing handled as a courtesy. Delta Dental is the single in-network PPO relationship, and the practice participates as an out-of-network or non-participating provider with Regence, BCBS, Lifemap/HMA, Premera/Lifewise, Principal/Aetna, and United Concordia/Assurant. Patient financing is offered through CareCredit (6-month no-interest on qualifying purchases of $200 or more) and SunBit. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; patients receive upfront cost information prior to treatment. The customer base is direct-to-consumer, serving individuals and families across West Seattle, Burien, Vashon Island, and White Center, WA. The practice has received consecutive Seattle Met Top Dentist recognition and operates with no external investment, no parent company, and no disclosed subsidiaries.
