Julie Esparza
Registered Dental Hygienist
I graduated from Lake Washington Institute of Technology in 2004 and have loved every minute of helping people achieve healthier smiles ever since. I’m passionate about making patients feel comfortable and cared for in the dental chair while supporting their journey to better oral health.
I’m proud to call Tacoma home and love exploring everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer. When I’m not at the office, you’ll find me hiking, camping, spending time with my family, catching a hot yoga class—or enjoying a good movie or a fun board game night.

Very informative, very helpful, very thorough, very efficient, and gave me various opinions and options regarding my teeth. And I really like when doctors are able to immediately show you the photos and X-rays in order to immediately discuss your condition. They are also very responsive, very friendly, and will put you at ease if you are afraid of going to the dentist. Very clean and seem to be using the latest equipment. Great locations with ample parking.
I haven’t been to the dentist in a long time - a LONG time - and finally HAD to go because I had a molar break in half. Big time pain! From the moment I entered the waiting room, which made me feel like I had just entered a spa, this was definitely a different experience. The staff was professional and welcoming, my new hygienist had me feeling confident and unafraid about everything she was doing, and I might just be a tiny bit in love with my new dentist. 😂. And the view from the exam room - beautiful!
I've been going to Defiance Dental for 10 years. They have been consistently friendly and professional. I trust them fully for my dental health! Bonus- the new location on 30th St has amazing views while you get your teeth cleaned!
Love this dental office! Everyone is so friendly, and knowledgeable and the views over the sound from the exam room are lovely. Everything is very fresh and up to date and it really felt more a day spa than the usual old-timey dental office. They answered my numerous questions, took lots of time to explain all the procedures, and checked often to make sure I was doing well. They did excellent work with zero pressure to add services / treatments and I left feeling very confident they were keeping pace with new techniques and technology. I highly recommended them to anyone looking for a modern, relaxed and reputable dental experience.
Staff was friendly and the location has a nice view of the water. Dr. AJ Sekhon did a great job discussing my treatment plan and was open to answering my questions. Highly recommend.
