Spokane Dental Blog

Have you ever sat in the dental chair, looked over at the tray of instruments and wondered just what the hygienist has planned for that poky thing? Fear of the unknown is a big reason that a lot of patients get nervous for their dentist appointments. At Spokane Dental, we strive to make our patients as comfortable and at ease as possible, and one simple way we do that is explain what is happening throughout the appointment.

Your smile deserves admiration at every stage of your life. Dental implants are one of the best and most practical options for replacing missing or damaged teeth. Especially if you want to brighten your smile while enhancing and maintaining your oral health and cleanliness. Dental implants are the most practical replacement option if you need to replace one or more lost teeth.

Restorative dentistry refers to any dental procedure that focuses on restoring or replacing damaged oral structures. This can involve bridges, implants, and fillings, among other services. But restorative dentistry doesn't at all cover aesthetic operations such as veneers or teeth whitening.

One of the things our Spokane Dental team loves about our area (besides our awesome patients!) is how many amazing things there are to do in the greater Spokane area. We’ve accumulated some Fall bucket list ideas the whole family will enjoy this beautiful season in our area.

A beautiful and healthy smile supports your general well-being and boosts your confidence. In attending routine check-ups and practicing correct oral hygiene, it is possible to keep your smile healthy, in addition to the remainder of your body.

Oral surgery references any surgical treatment done on your jaw, gums, teeth, or other type of oral structures. That includes dental extractions, dental implants, jaw surgeries, and gum grafts.

Rightly or wrongly, we place a significant emphasis on appearance, often forming an opinion of someone within just a few moments of meeting them for the very first time. One of the most important features people look for is a healthy and attractive smile.

A dental abscess is a treatable dental infection, and perhaps more common than you may think. An abscess can lead to a more serious infection and is a very important reason to get that toothache checked out immediately by your Spokane Dental team.

It might sound dramatic, but the title of this blog sums up root canal treatment perfectly, and it really is the last treatment available which can save a severely decayed and infected tooth from extraction. Contrary to what you may have heard about root canal therapy, it truly isn’t any worse than having an ordinary filling.

You're looking for a way to make your smile stand out. You want your teeth to sparkle and the whole world to notice. You want the best, and you want it now. But what exactly is the best? And how do you know if you're getting it? At-home teeth whitening kits are great. They're easy and fast, making them perfect for people on the go. But they don't offer the same results as a professional teeth whitening procedure—and they certainly don't come with all the perks.
