Family Dentistry in Tacoma & Lakewood

Healthy smiles. Healthy lives.

From first checkups to full smile restorations, we’ve kept South Sound families healthy, confident, and smiling for more than thirty years.

Our Commitment

Dentistry, the way it should feel

Plancich Dental was founded on the simple ideas that your dentist should know you, and that getting good care shouldn’t be complicated. Three decades later, Dr. Greg Plancich and Dr. Bryce Plancich carry that same approach forward, joined by a team that treats every patient like a neighbor, because most of them are.

We’ve kept what works—the long relationships, the unhurried appointments, the steady hands—and modernized the parts that didn’t. You can book online and fill out forms before you arrive.

Everything else is exactly as you’d hope a family practice would feel.

Our Services

How we care for your whole health

The health of your teeth, gums, jaw, airway, and even your sleep are often connected to the state of your health as a whole. That’s why we look at the bigger picture while still providing the everyday care you rely on. Whether you’re here for a cleaning, a cosmetic treatment, jaw pain, or a full mouth rehabilitation, our team works together to help you achieve lasting health and comfort.

Preventative Dentistry

The foundation of everything: Cleanings, exams, pediatric care, periodontal treatment, and oral cancer screening, for every member of the family.

Restorative Dentistry

For when something needs fixing: Crowns, bridges, root canals, implants, onlays, and the full range of restorative work, done with precision and built to last.

Cosmetic Dentistry

For the smile you actually want: Whitening, veneers, bonding, gum contouring, and cosmetic restorations, shaped to your face, not a template.

Orthodontics

Clarity™ Aligners is a modern, nearly invisible way to straighten your smile, designed and fitted in our own offices.

TMJ & Sleep Therapy

Targeted treatment for jaw pain, headaches, grinding, and sleep-disordered breathing. Comfort you can feel after the very first use of your appliance.

Smile Makeover

See your smile before you decide

Thirty Years & Counting

Excellent care runs in the family

Greg Plancich opened the doors of our first Tacoma office in the 1990s. His son, Bryce, joined the practice years later and today, the two of them lead a team that has cared for some of the same families for generations.

That continuity is the difference. Our hygienists remember your kids’ names. Our front desk knows your insurance. Our team has the time and the training to slow down when slowing down matters.

We’ve stayed independent on purpose because the corporate model of dentistry can’t deliver the kind of care that depends on knowing someone for twenty years. We’d rather grow slowly, train well, and answer to the people who walk through our doors.

INSURANCE

Accepting most major insurance plans

We accept most major dental insurance plans, and our team is happy to help you understand your benefits and make the most of them. We work for our patients, not insurance companies, so the care we recommend is based on what your teeth need, not what your plan happens to cover. If you’re not sure whether we work with your insurance, please call us at (253) 272-7400 or email us. We’d rather talk it through than have you settle for a dentist who isn’t right for you.
