Meet Dr. Michelle Ament
Why Dr. Michelle Ament understands you and her patients more than most.
Dr. Michelle Ament, our caring and professional dentist at Bothell Family Dentistry, has a personal connection with her patients so that you will feel heard and valued and enjoy your time here.
Having a fear of the dentist in her adolescence, she experienced the transformative power of dentistry, resolving her jaw pain with the help of a Kois deprogrammer appliance. This journey inspired her to pursue evidence-based dentistry at the Kois Institute and offer compassionate care to others who are fearful or in pain. When you come to Bothell Family Dentistry, you will benefit from her knowledge and have your own transformative dental experience!
With a commitment to excellence, she has been in practice for eight years and has been running Bothell Family Dentistry for two of them! In her office, she fosters a welcoming and family-like atmosphere for patients of all ages, so you want to be here, even just to say hello! Dr. Ament’s dedication to continuous improvement led her to join prestigious organizations like the Washington Academy of General Dentistry and the American Dental Association, so you can be sure when you are being treated by one of the best.
Dr. Michelle J. Ament was featured in “Incisal Edge” magazine’s list of 40 under 40 dentists. A significant honor that reflects her exceptional contributions to the field of dentistry.
She was nominated because she took on Bothell dentistry during the pandemic and has a deep commitment to pursuing continuous education, such as with the Kois Institute.
It is only right that her expertise and dedication to providing high-quality dental care are recognized. Not to mention her daily commitment to making dental visits as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
The recognition demonstrates that Dr. Ament is at the forefront of her profession, continually expanding her knowledge and skills, which directly benefits her patients and the local community. You can read more about this special recognition here.
