Meet Dr. Esther Yi
Dr. Yi grew up in Hawaii where she found her deep appreciation for nature, hiking, and photography. She traded in those sunny skies and ocean breezes for Seattle’s moody vibes when she decided to attend the UW School of Dentistry. Dr. Yi served as Vice President for her class, co-founded a non-profit organization, peer mentored underclassmen, attained multiple scholarships, and became the first doctor in her family upon graduation. Today, Dr. Yi teaches modern restorative techniques to dentists from all over the country. She specializes in black triangle/space closures, aesthetic smile rejuvenations, and biomimetic dentistry.
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 needs.
In her free time, she is busy trying to run after her Shiba Inu pup who loves to run away or is probably in the mountains somewhere backpacking. She is excited to join the team and serve the wonderful patients at Elevate Family Dentistry!
