Dr Esther Yi

Although Dr. Yi was born in New York, she spent most of her life in Hawaii where she cultured her appreciation for hiking, nature, and the arts. She traded in those sunny skies and ocean breezes for Seattle’s moody vibes when she decided to attend the UW School of Dentistry. She has been living here ever since and has been loving it! Dr. Yi teaches modern restorative techniques to dentists from all over the country. She specializes in black triangle/space closures, cosmetic smile rejuvenations, and biomimetic dentistry. Dentistry is a life-long passion project for Dr. Yi. She enjoys the challenge + innovation of science but also loves the artistry that comes with being able to create something with her own hands that help patients in need. Dr. Yi values patient-centered care above everything else and believes a key part of this is maintaining an open dialogue with her patients. She believes in talking with her patients and working together to come up with a treatment plan that is tailored to every patient and their unique situation. When she is not busy running after her Shiba Inu dog who loves to run away, you can find her at the pottery studio, working on photography/videography projects, or backpacking somewhere in the mountains.
