Robert Leale, DDS
Making a difference for people gets me going in the morning. That means constantly learning how to improve what I’m doing, providing excellent care and earning people’s trust. When I know that I’m doing what’s best for an individual and they trust me, work is so much more fun!About Dr. Leale
I’ve lived in Washington for about 35 years. I also lived in Uruguay doing missionary work for 2 years and lived another 8 out of state for school. My wife who is a middle school math teacher and I have 3 beautiful daughters and 3 dogs. We both received undergraduate degrees from Brigham Young University. I got my dental degree from the University of Maryland and my wife got her master’s degree from Whitworth. We enjoy spending time on the lake in the summer and in the mountains in the winter.

JUST FOR FUN!
What is one thing that makes you stand out from other providers?:
My good looks mostly, although most would say Dr. Startin has me beat in that category.
Favorite Drink: Diet Coke
Pineapple on Pizza (yes or no): YES!!
Favorite Show: Good Luck Charlie
Favorite Dessert: Beignets
Favorite Musical Artist:
Taylor swift since that’s what we listen to mostly in the car. Although Zach Bryan is a close second right now.
Favorite Dental Procedure to perform:
Single tooth implants. They make a huge difference for people and are usually much easier than people expect.
Is there anything else you'd like patients (and potential patients) to know about you?:
Come as you are. We don’t judge, we just want to help you. It’s way more fun when people are honest about what they want and what they are afraid of. I'd much rather have a patient tell me they don’t trust what I’m telling them or are too afraid or can’t afford what we’ve talked about than have them just leave. Things always get more costly and difficult to fix in the future.
