Melanie Hiskey

Dental offices in Kenmore tend to cluster near the main thoroughfares, but this one sits a bit off the usual path. Melanie Hiskey operates from a professional space on 67th Ave NE, where the street quiets down near the residential edge of town. It’s the kind of address that makes more sense once you’ve driven it—tucked between the lake’s shoreline energy and the quieter, tree-lined blocks where people actually live. The building itself doesn’t shout for attention, which might explain why some locals only discover it when they’re specifically searching for a dentist in the 98028 zip.

General dentistry covers a lot of ground, and the services here run from routine cleanings to more involved procedures like crowns and bridges. There’s no specialty branding or flashy marketing—just the kind of place that handles fillings, extractions, and preventive care without framing any of it as revolutionary. Some patients prefer that. Others might not even notice the difference until they’re sitting in the chair, realizing how little fanfare comes with something as fundamental as a checkup or a same-day emergency slot when a tooth decides to act up at the worst possible moment.

The phone line—(425) 216-3367—connects directly, which spares the back-and-forth of automated menus or transferred calls. It’s a small thing, but the kind of detail that matters when you’re trying to confirm an appointment between work and picking up kids. Directions, if you need them, are straightforward once you’ve got the map pulled up; the office is a short drive from both the Burke-Gilman Trail and the cluster of cafés near Bothell Way, so you could theoretically bike there if you’re the type to combine errands with exercise.

This stretch of Kenmore has a way of feeling like its own pocket—close enough to the water for weekend boat traffic but far enough that the sidewalks still belong to dog walkers and neighbors chatting over fence lines. The dental office fits into that rhythm, neither dominating the block nor fading into the background. It’s just there, doing what dental offices do, while the rest of the neighborhood carries on around it.
