EOM Dental Center

EOM Dental Center is a dental practice located at 544 North 5th Avenue in Sequim, Washington, that blends modern dentistry with East Asian medicine. The team offers general dentistry, restorative care, cosmetic procedures, and emergency services using advanced technology like CBCT imaging and digital scanning. A distinctive feature is the collaboration between Dr. Joseph Churchill and board-certified acupuncturist Theresa Churchill to support patients with dental anxiety, TMJ discomfort, and chronic tension.

Patients can book appointments online or by calling 360-646-2320. New patients are encouraged to complete forms on the website before their visit and bring their dental insurance card, photo ID, and a list of current medications. The first visit includes a one-on-one conversation with Dr. Churchill, digital X-rays, and a comprehensive exam with plain-language explanations of findings and recommendations.

The practice provides conscious sedation dentistry and on-site acupuncture or acupressure sessions led by Theresa Churchill. These services are designed to help patients manage dental anxiety, TMJ discomfort, or chronic tension before or after their dental appointments. The combination of dentistry and traditional healing is highlighted as a unique offering for patient comfort.

EOM Dental Center utilizes CBCT imaging, digital intraoral scanning, and digital X-rays to ensure accurate diagnoses and precise treatment planning. The practice also offers ClearCorrect clear aligner therapy and dental implant placement and restoration. All restorations are amalgam-free, and the facility includes warm blankets and ceiling TVs showing Olympic Peninsula scenery to enhance comfort.

Theresa Churchill, LAc, EAMP, works alongside Dr. Churchill to incorporate traditional East Asian medicine perspectives into patient care. This partnership allows for on-site acupuncture and acupressure sessions that complement standard dental treatments. The approach aims to address the whole person, including relationships and community connections, rather than just the teeth.

The office is open Wednesday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday closed. It is situated at 544 North 5th Avenue, Sequim, WA 98382. The practice serves patients of all ages and welcomes whole families, offering a warm, unhurried approach where questions are always answered.

The practice offers membership plans and financing options to assist with treatment costs. Most PPO insurance plans are accepted, and they encourage patients to bring their insurance cards and completed new patient forms to their appointments. ClearCorrect clear aligner therapy and dental implant services are also available under these flexible payment structures.

Dr. Churchill graduated from the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine in 2008 and completed a residency at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in New Jersey. He has over 15 years of clinical experience, including 8 years serving tribal communities such as the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe on the Olympic Peninsula. His philosophy emphasizes treating the whole person and the relationships they carry within their community.

The practice is affiliated with the American Dental Association, Washington State Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, and Washington Academy of General Dentistry. Dr. Churchill is also a Board Member of the Pankey Institute Affiliate Board and a member of the Rotary Club. Theresa Churchill holds board certification as an acupuncturist and East Asian Medicine Practitioner.

Dr. Churchill ensures that patients are never handed a treatment plan without a thorough explanation of why each item is included. During the comprehensive exam, he walks patients through his findings in plain language and discusses recommendations before they leave. The initial appointment begins with a one-on-one conversation to understand the patient's dental history and what matters most to them.

Treatment rooms are equipped with weighted blankets and ceiling TVs that display footage of the Olympic Peninsula's beaches and forests. These amenities are part of a broader effort to create a calming care experience for patients. The practice also offers on-site acupuncture and acupressure as additional comfort measures for those experiencing anxiety.

Dr. Churchill and his wife Theresa moved to the Olympic Peninsula in 2018 to build a practice reflecting their values of service and community connection. The practice aims to serve neighbors and bring something genuinely different to the area by blending clinical excellence with a holistic approach. This vision was realized after Dr. Churchill spent over a decade serving diverse tribal communities across Nebraska and Washington.

A 2026 article in the Sequim Gazette notes that the Churchills look to combine treatment strategies from both Western and Eastern medicines. This approach is described as a way to support oral health by blending clinical excellence with a calming care experience. The practice is rooted in the Sequim community and seeks to treat every patient with dignity.

The practice states that digital X-rays emit significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. They also utilize digital intraoral scanning and digital X-rays for accurate diagnoses. The comprehensive exam includes a full series of digital X-rays and may involve CBCT imaging if needed for a more complete picture of the patient's oral health.
