CHRISTOPHER TOBLER DDS
Welcoming all patients as family.
I grew up primarily in Southern California, spending most of my time at the beach. I loved to paint and draw and worked as a graphic designer both in high school and then in college at BYU in Utah. Eventually, I changed course and pursued dentistry, which took me to Indiana University to get my DDS degree.
After working for several years as a graphic designer, I realized that dentistry was a better fit. I love the people I get to associate with every day. That includes both my patients and incredible team!
I’m married to the love of my life, and we have two boys. I still enjoy spending time at the beach or in the ocean, but I equally love spending time in the mountains and on trails. I play the guitar and the piano and adore just about any kind of music.

What do you do outside of the office?
Most of my time these days is spent playing with my two boys – building Legos, building forts, or exploring parks and trails around the Pacific NW. I love to play music, and when I can find the time, I still like to make it out to live concerts.
Who is your hero?
Fred Rogers because of his humble dedication to making the world a better place by helping others feel confident and valued.
What was the best day of your life?
The two best days of my life were when my sons were born. Being a father is the single most exciting, exhausting, humbling, and fulfilling thing in my life.
What flavor of ice cream would you be?
I like mint chocolate chip. Not particularly exciting, but sometimes it just hits the spot.

My family has been going to Ballard Dental Arts for 5+ years and have been very happy with the care and service we have received. Dr. Tobler takes the time to get to know his patients and explains any treatment plans or recommendations. I’ve seen many different hygienists over the years, and all have been very professional. The office is always very clean and I never have to wait long for my appt. I recommend Ballard Dental Arts to anyone looking for a new dentist!

Scheduling appointments and check-ins are a breeze with friendly, professional staff. Direct, informed consultations with dentist help you choose best treatment plan. Technicians are well trained on all procedures, keep you informed on what's next, and are great at putting you at ease if you're a nervous patient.

Our decade of dental care here has been nothing but great. Their staff is professional and caring, the environment is calming. A special shout-out to the dental hygenists (Jennifer!) with whom we spend most of our time during routine visits. They are the best! Of course, we wouldn't return if not for the excellent dentists themselves, but that's a 'given'.

I became a patient of Ballard Dental Arts in 2020 because I lived nearby. During a routine cleaning, a small oral issue was discovered, and my kind and helpful dentist alerted me to the situation. He took his time to clearly advise me on what had happened and how long I could let it remain untreated. When I was ready to handle it, I was given quick and accurate estimates for the required procedure. The work was done quickly and exactly as described, and the improvement since has been incredible. I hadn't realized how drastic the change would feel and would have addressed the work far earlier if I'd been aware of how much better things could get.Ballard Dental Arts is a wonderful practice. The dentists are friendly and helpful, and the cleaning process is quick, easy, and comfortable. I may have started going here because it was convenient, but the fact that I continue as a patient despite having moved across town over a year ago is a testament to how glad I am to have found them.

Proud to serve our community.
I grew up in New York and went to college in Maine. While there, I met my wife who is originally from Vancouver B.C. Seattle was the perfect place for us to settle and start our family. We love it here!
I choose dentistry as it is a perfect combination of science and art. It is constantly evolving and gives me the opportunity to help our community in a specific and meaningful way.
Prior to private practice, I was the lead dentist at a public health clinic. I continue to work one day a week in the community clinic as I enjoy providing treatment to this high risk and underserved population.
At Ballard Dental Arts, we provide a welcoming and calm environment and make you feel like family.

My Goal
My goal is to make patients’ experience in the dental chair as comfortable and easy as possible. I encourage questions about dental treatment and work together with patients to come up with a treatment and maintenance plan that is best suited for each patient’s unique conditions.
My Approach
My philosophy is to help patients reach a point where they need as little dental treatment as possible by educating them on the causes of tooth decay and periodontal disease, and focusing on prevention both at home and in the office.
