Welcome Our Latest Advertiser: Dr. Jim Coleman, DDS!
The B-Town Blog offers a warm-smile welcome to our latest Advertiser, Dr. Jim Coleman, and his amazing team at Seahurst Dental Design.
At the office of Dr. Jim Coleman you will experience how pleasant modern dentistry can be! Their focus is always on your health, and your comfort is their first concern. Their passion is creating gorgeous, healthy smiles coupled with minimally invasive complete care.
Dr. Coleman takes the time to involve you in deciding what the right care is for you. The office has a fun, relaxing, non-judgmental atmosphere. How refreshing!
Dr. Coleman’s office is truly “state-of-the-art.” Remember the sound and feel of “the drill”? Well, Dr. Jim says: “In our office, we offer the gentle process known as air abrasion. This decay-removing process is virtually pain-free as I can control the speed of the spray of air/powder mix as well as the intensity. There is generally no need for shots with this technology. It’s also free of the noise vibration and smell associated with the old drill.”
Just imagine a filling done with no drilling and no shot!
Patient safety and comfort are always the top concerns for Dr. Coleman. They use digital x-rays, which reduce radiation exposure by 90 percent, the Diagnodent system to locate problems on average three to five years sooner, along with pictures so you can see your teeth, too. To help you relax, you can enjoy chair massagers, hot towels, aromatherapy and Tempur-Pedicâ„¢ chair pads.
Would you believe a same-day onlay or crown is possible?
One visit, no temporary, no “silly putty” impressions to gag on. Start to finish in a little over an hour. Dr. Coleman uses CEREC technology to design, fabricate and place all ceramic, metal free restorations in just one visit.
Sedation dentistry is wonderful for those whose fears or busy schedules have caused them to put off care. Can you believe, it is possible to achieve a healthy mouth often in only one visit! Millions of people have experienced this relaxing non-IV technique where, by taking a pill, “hours seem like minutes.”
For patients who want whiter teeth, they offer in-office power whitening (i.e. Zoom!), which achieve brighter smiles in just a couple of hours. Or, for the do-it-yourselfer, professional home whitening kits.
Jim Coleman, DDS, FWCMID, has more than 35 years’ experience providing smile makeovers along with comprehensive dental care. At Dr. Coleman’s office they provide all the expertise and services of the downtown Docs but with the hometown warmth and convenience.
Just head west from Olde Burien on SW 152nd; the office is on the right in a convenient location with plenty of free parking (see map below).

Three Tree Point Fireworks Fund Seeking Donations
Photo by ericagirlwonder
It’s one of the highlights of the Burien area on the 4th of July – the Three Tree Point Fireworks celebration, which is supported entirely by donations from residents in area communities, not just the citizens who live down there.
From personal experience, I can say that these fireworks celebrations are amazing all-day Americana affairs, starting with a community breakfast, a flag-raising ceremony, a children’s parade (with the incentive being a prize of a popsicle at the end) then an evening of outstanding, professional fireworks launched from a barge anchored right off the point.
It’s a crazy block party, with live music, beach parties, insanely huge bonfires and more, and the 10pm display can be seen for miles.
Neighbors have already set up a website for this year’s blast, and they’re seeking donations to help offset the $20k+ cost. For those who donate more than $150, you get invited to a fun neighborhood dinner party.
Here’s some info from the Three Tree Point Fireworks Fund website:
The Three Tree Point Fireworks celebration is supported entirely by donations from the communities of Three Tree Point, Seahurst, Normandy Park, Seola Beach, Arroyo Beach and Arbor Heights.
Our barge based, high-altitude fireworks show has gotten better every year thanks to countless people of have donated time and money.
In 2009, our goal is to keep the fireworks and community celebrations at the same great level that they have been at. This is the first year we are seeking corporate sponsors for our event.
We raise funds in May to ensure we have time to get all the permits, insurance and the best vendors.
Originally started by the Miller family as a gift to The Three Tree Point Community, the firewoks tradition was continued by neighbors when the Millers moved away.
In addition to the fireworks, the neighborhood traditions of pancake breakfast , kids games, flag raising with awards, bike parade and more have been ushering in summer at our great communitnity. What a great place to live!
