Ko & Ko Periodontics (Dr. Michelle Ko and Dr. Alex Ko)

Ever notice how some dental specialties get overlooked until you suddenly need one? Ko & Ko Periodontics fills that niche for Bellevue residents—handling everything from gum disease treatment to dental implants without the fanfare of a general practice. Tucked along SE 40th Lane (the 12826 building, if you’re plugging it into GPS), they focus solely on periodontics, which means no distractions from the core work of keeping gums healthy and structures stable. That specialty might not sound glamorous, but it’s the kind of thing you’re grateful exists when routine cleanings aren’t enough. Questions about procedures or insurance? The phone line—(425) 877-1423—connects directly to the office, skipping the runaround.

Periodontists often deal with the less visible but critical parts of oral health—bone grafts, gum recession, even the prep work for implants that general dentists refer out. This practice, run by Dr. Michelle Ko and Dr. Alex Ko, sidesteps the broad-strokes approach; their entire setup revolves around diagnostics and surgical treatments that most clinics don’t offer in-house. Need to double-check the location? The map pin drops you right at the suite, no guesswork required.
