Do you find yourself waking up with a headache or sore jaw? Or perhaps the dental hygienist has questioned whether you clench your teeth at night? Signs of clenching and grinding teeth are something we see commonly in the dental chair that can cause a negative impact on a person’s dental and overall health.

The end of the year is quickly approaching, which means you need to start planning how you will spend the holidays with family and friends, finish off work before going on vacation, and make use of your dental benefits before they run out.

The busy holiday season is just around the corner! Relatives, friends, and coworkers can gather together during this time to create lifelong memories. This can create a lasting impression on people through your smile, which is why Dr. Jonathan Smith at Spokane Dental believes the festive season is the ideal time to have your teeth whitened.

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.
