Rubecca Shahid Verified listing

Dr. Rubecca Shahid is the owner and lead dentist of SMILES ON 35th in Seattle, Washington. Her approach to dentistry is centered on preserving natural tooth structure and helping restorations function as closely as possible to healthy, natural teeth.

Through biomimetic principles, Dr. Shahid uses conservative preparation techniques, advanced adhesive dentistry, and carefully selected materials to restore strength, function, and beauty while minimizing unnecessary removal of healthy tooth structure. Whenever clinically appropriate, she considers tooth-preserving options such as bonded overlays and partial-coverage restorations as alternatives to traditional full-coverage crowns.

As a graduate of the full Kois Center curriculum, Dr. Shahid also evaluates the bite, function, esthetics, and long-term health of the entire mouth—not simply the individual tooth being treated. She combines this comprehensive perspective with digital technology, same-day CEREC restorations, laser dentistry, and a gentle, highly personalized approach.

Dr. Shahid is passionate about educating her patients so they understand not only what treatment is recommended, but why. Her goal is to deliver natural-looking, durable dentistry that respects the biology and biomechanics of the original tooth.
