I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to practice dentistry here in Kirkland for so many years. While I’ve always enjoyed the technical aspect of my work, the relationships I’ve created with my patients are what have truly made this a fulfilling career.

I am a Seattle native and have lived in Bellevue on Lake Sammamish since 1991. I have been happily married to Gwennie for almost 30 years. Gwennie is a retired hygienist who now works mostly on her tennis game. We have two wonderful grown sons: Ron and Wesley. Ron has a business degree from Seattle University and is working at a clothing start-up in Kirkland. He also partners in a dental product importing company. Wesley is attending dental school in Arizona. Wes loves school and is at the very top of his class. I hope we can practice together when Wes graduates in a couple of years. Our family also has three dogs and several koi.
When not working, I like to do different sports activities, which include tennis, windsurfing, kayaking, hiking, and cycling. Gwennie and I enjoy the company of our friends and travel.
We donate to several charitable causes, including the NW Children’s Fund, KCDS, various politicians, and the Issaquah Food Bank, to name a few. I also volunteer a lot of time at my office, working with people who cannot afford the high cost of dental care. I have been on many mission trips to different countries and have sponsored others to do so as well. I feel that everyone deserves a chance to lead a healthy, happy, productive life.

Village Dentistry
The best part of being a dentist is talking with people and building connections while helping them become happier and healthier. As ours is a private practice, I have plenty of time to spend listening to each patient, learning who they are on a personal level. I treasure those conversations and the bonds that grow as a result.
As a family dental practice, I love the diversity of my days. My first patient might be a grandparent, who’s here for restorative care so they can properly, comfortably chew and regain a smile they love. My next might be a child at their first visit, filled with excitement and possibly a bit nervous. Then I might help a parent improve their smile, with cosmetic care that increases their self-esteem and confidence.
With each patient, I tailor my approach, clinically and personally, to who they are and what they desire. This ensures the best dental experience and the happiest, most genuine smiles when we’re done.
Education
My father, Arne Ness, is a dentist, and I grew up knowing I wanted to follow in his footsteps. I was born and raised locally, graduating from Redmond High School and then attending Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA. After I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology from PLU, I worked for an orthodontist in Bellevue for about a year. I then enrolled at Creighton University School of Dentistry, where I was awarded my Doctorate of Dental Surgery in May of 2006. Arne had opened the Redmond office in December of 2005, and I joined the practice after graduating from Creighton. I worked with my dad for 2 years before purchasing the practice. He then worked with me for several more years, and I was able to learn many techniques from his expertise and experience that you just don’t have the time or opportunity to learn in dental school.
Each year, there are numerous advances in dentistry: new technologies, techniques, and materials are developed and made available. As a dentist, it’s my responsibility to stay current on the changes, learning about them and determining if each is a service that will benefit my patients.
I take many continuing education courses throughout the year, learning from the leading researchers and practitioners in the field. I also avidly read dental and oral healthcare journals and other publications. This ensures each patient receives the best care options for their oral health.
I volunteer on the executive council of the Seattle King County Dental Society, a component of the ADA and WSDA. I also provide volunteer care for patients from the Northwest Kidney Center to facilitate dental health in preparation for acceptance to the transplant program.
Personal
My wife Emily and I were married in 2003. We have two sons, Maddox and Colton, an old hunting dog named Marley, and a cat named Lava. Our boys play multiple sports, and like many families these days, we try to pack too much into too little time. Our top priority is time with family and friends. When we can get away, we love to ski and travel.
My selfish hobbies revolve around all the great hunting and fishing opportunities available throughout Washington. I also enjoy gardening and preparing meals where all the vegetables were grown in our yard, and all the protein was harvested by my sons and me.

Precision Dental Arts
Hello, my name is Thomas Quickstad. In our practice, patients and staff just call me Dr. Tom. I was born and raised in Seattle and spent most of my educational years east of Lake Washington, in Bellevue. I went to Newport High School and graduated in 1976. My undergraduate college days were spent at the University of Washington (Go Dawgs!). I studied sciences and graduated in 1980 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Zoology. During my undergraduate years, a big part of my life was soccer. I played for the Huskies all four years and captained the varsity team my senior year.
In 1980, I was accepted and entered the University of Washington Dental School. I enjoyed my time in dental school and still spend Friday afternoons teaching the freshmen students at the dental school. Following graduation in 1984, I traveled to Schaffhausen, Switzerland, where I started my first job as a dentist. I was the school dentist for many of the children in the Canton of Schaffhausen.
I should note that while in Schaffhausen, my wife and I were married. Her name is Allison, and she is also from Bellevue. We met during dental school and got engaged shortly after my graduation. We were married in a small church in Buchtalen, near Schaffhausen.
Following one year of working in Schaffhausen, we moved to Lausanne, Switzerland, and I worked as a dentist in the Polyclinic. At the Polyclinic, I treated mostly adults, which really rounded out my postgraduate experience.
In late 1986, we decided it was time to end our expatriate ways and head back home. We rented an apartment on Capitol Hill in Seattle, and I started working at a few different dental offices as an associate. In 1989, I opened my private practice in Issaquah. We have grown with the Plateau community and continue to enjoy getting to know and helping all our great patients.
