Meet the Doctor, Staff, and Pets:

Dr. Puneet Aulakh DDS FAGD:

Hi there everyone. First my name: "au-luck", or just Dr. A.

I grew up in Bellevue, and went to school right up the road at Tyee Middle School, then Newport High School, before finishing my undergraduate studies at University of Washington. After completing my doctor of dental surgery (DDS) at the University of Detroit-Mercy, I practiced dentistry at multiple offices in Detroit, Kent and Auburn, including part time at a public clinic in Longview, giving back to the community.

We utilize leading-edge technologies, the latest materials and tested techniques. We are at an exciting time; new dental "technologies" are being introduced. Some are proven and some are still in development. I believe that the only way I can provide the very best dental care is through continuing education (CE). I am enrolled in multiple study groups, including the Washington AGD Mastertrack study group, Redmond Tucker Gold study group, and Interdisciplinary Study Group Northwest. These groups consist of some of the best dentists in the state of Washington.

This year, I received my Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, a distinction held by only 7% of dentists in the US & Canada. I completed over 500 hours of continuing education in multiple dental disciplines, and then passed a rigorous examination. It was not easy, but was worth it to assure my patients are getting the most exceptional care available.

I am also a board member of the Washington Academy of General Dentistry. The AGD’s mission is to serve the needs and represent the interests of general dentists, to promote the oral health of the public, and to foster continued proficiency of general dentists through quality continuing dental education in order to better serve the public.
I have been a national delegate to the AGD's annual convention for 2009-2011.
