Detailed Introduction

Sound Smiles Pediatric Dentistry is a dedicated pediatric dental clinic located in Burien, Washington, serving the communities of Burien, Seatac, and West Seattle. The clinic is spearheaded by Dr. Tyler Shawcroft, a highly experienced pediatric dentist with over 15 years in the field. Dr. Shawcroft earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from Creighton University School of Dentistry, graduating Magna Cum Laude and receiving the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry's Student Dentist Award. His interest in working with children led him to complete a residency in Pediatric Dentistry at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. The philosophy at Sound Smiles Pediatric Dentistry revolves around making dental visits enjoyable and educational for children, with the ultimate goal of preventing cavities and fostering lifelong positive oral health habits. They aim to create a comfortable and fun environment, often employing "Jedi Mind Tricks" to encourage kids to avoid sugar and maintain good brushing routines. Services offered at the clinic are comprehensive and tailored to children's unique needs, including routine cleanings and check-ups. For children who experience anxiety or require more extensive work, the clinic provides various sedation options such as Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas), conscious sedation, and general anesthesia (sleep dentistry), all administered in a safe and controlled environment by experienced anesthesiologists when necessary. Patients and parents consistently praise Sound Smiles Pediatric Dentistry for its friendly, patient, and professional staff. Testimonials frequently highlight the team's ability to make children feel at ease, even those with anxiety, and the overall positive experience from scheduling to treatment. Dr. Shawcroft himself is often commended for his gentle approach, ability to explain conditions clearly, and for creating a trustworthy environment. The clinic's commitment to personalized care and building trusting relationships ensures that children grow up feeling comfortable and confident about their dental health.

Sound Smiles Pediatric Dentistry is a game-changer for parents of little ones! My 4-year-old used to scream at the dentist, but now he runs in excited to see the “tooth truck” (their colorful mobile clinic-themed office). Dr. Rivera has a magical way with kids—she turned his cleaning into a “treasure hunt” for plaque, and he didn’t even notice the tools. The staff is endlessly patient, letting him hold a stuffed animal during exams.

They send fun reminder texts with cartoon teeth, and the waiting area has a play zone with puzzles and books. Best of all? They explain everything to both kids and parents, so I know exactly what’s going on. For stress-free, kid-focused care, this is the gold standard—we drive 30 minutes just to come here!

I have two young children and they both absolutely love Dr. Tyler. He has a special talent for working with kids and he seems completely at ease with them. They seem to trust him instinctively. We tried two other pediatric dentists and my daughter's reaction to them was lukewarm at best. She talks about Dr. Tyler fondly weeks after we've seen him.

Have been bringing my son here since he turned 1 (he is almost 4) and I have to say I am very happy with Dr. Tyler and his entire staff. We recently came in to have 1 cavity filled that we kept having to put off due to different reasons and from the last time my son was in for a checkup (summer 2020) until recently that 1 cavity got bigger going into the pulp of his baby tooth and even a second cavity formed on the baby tooth next to it, Dr. Tyler explained everything very well and let me know that because the cavity had extended down into the pulp of the tooth my son would need a silver crown instead of a filling like he originally planned for.

They were done before I knew it (so quick!) And my son had no idea what was going on. I highly recommend this office and will be bringing my youngest here for care when his time comes. Thank you Dr. Tyler & staff!

Dr. Tyler and his staff are amazing! Not only are they super friendly and calming, they are straight forward and explain everything before they do it. My son has been a bit afraid of the dentist, but because of Dr. Tyler and his staff, he rocked his check up and wants to go back. I appreciate how Dr. Tyler came and spoke with me before and after my son’s procedure.

He explained everything they were planning on doing and gave me possible scenarios. When the procedure was over, he came and explained everything he had done and why. Both of Dr. Tyler’s offices are child friendly and really suited for the kiddos. They’ve created a welcoming environment!
