PLANCICH DENTAL TACOMA
Welcome to Plancich Dental in Tacoma
FAMILY DENTISTRY IN TACOMA
30+ years of care in Tacoma
You don’t have to look far to find a dentist in Tacoma. You do have to look a little further to find one where the same family has been practicing for over three decades, and where the hygienists have known your kids long enough to ask about them by name.
At Plancich Dental, we offer the full range of dental care including preventive, restorative, cosmetic, and orthodontic, because we believe your oral health is connected to your overall health. Everything happens here, with a team that has earned the trust of South Sound families across generations. New patients are always welcome!

OUR WHOLE-BODY APPROACH
A comfortable, welcoming environment for all
From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice the pace is different here. We don’t rush appointments, and we don’t assume you know what’s happening. We explain things as we go, in plain terms, and make sure you have what you need to make good decisions about your care. Our goal is to make every dental experience a positive one.
This is a practice where people tend to stay for years. We hope you and your family will too!

Their smiles say it all
Our Technology
We’ve invested in the tools that make care more precise, and less stressful
Better technology doesn’t just mean better outcomes. It means shorter appointments, less guesswork, and fewer of the experiences that make people put off going to the dentist in the first place.
Digital X-rays reduce radiation exposure and produce images we can show you in the chair so you understand what we’re seeing, not just what we’re recommending. Intraoral cameras give you the same view we have.
Laser dentistry means more precise gum treatment with faster healing. And 3D imaging lets us plan complex procedures like implants with accuracy that wasn’t possible a decade ago.

What patients ask us most about Plancich Dental in Tacoma
Are you accepting new patients?
Yes, our Tacoma and Lakewood offices are currently accepting new patients. If you’re coming from another practice or have a specific concern you’d like to address at your first visit, just let us know when you reach out. New patient forms are available online so you can complete them before you arrive.
Do you have same-day care for emergencies?
Yes. If you’re dealing with a severe toothache, a broken tooth, a lost filling, or something else that can’t wait, call us directly—we do our best to see emergency patients the same day. We’ll be straightforward with you from the first call about timing and what we can do.
What should I expect on my first visit?
Your first visit includes a thorough exam, digital X-rays, and a real conversation about your dental history and any concerns you’re coming in with. We’ll walk you through what we’re seeing as we go so you understand what’s happening, not just what’s being recommended. If treatment is needed, we’ll explain your options clearly before anything is scheduled. New patient forms are available online if you’d like to complete them ahead of time.
Do you see patients of all ages, including children?
Yes, we care for the whole family! From young children getting their first cleanings to adults and seniors managing more complex care, our team is set up for patients at every stage of life. Many of our patients started coming as kids and are now bringing in their own children. We take our time with younger patients, and parents tell us that makes a real difference.
Do you accept dental insurance?
We accept most major dental insurance plans. When you call or book online, our front desk will confirm your specific coverage and help you understand your benefits before your appointment. We’ll also discuss payment options if insurance doesn’t cover everything because we want cost to be a conversation, not a surprise.
