Our Story

We Treat You
Like Family

At Bellevue Azalea Dentistry, every treatment decision is made the same way we'd care for our own loved ones. That's not a slogan — it's the philosophy behind every appointment we schedule.

Dr. Uparika Sharma received her D.D.S. from the University of Washington's highly competitive Advanced Standing Program and completed advanced endodontics training undertaken by only 10% of dentists. She's one of the rarest clinicians in Washington — a TMJ/TMD expert capable of treating chronic headaches, jaw pain, cervical spine, and airway issues.

Dr. Neville Richter brings decades of experience, having trained under leading TMD experts. Together, they offer a level of comprehensive care Bellevue has recognized with its highest accolades.
