Spokane Dental Blog

If you’re reading this blog, we think it’s safe to assume you’re considering cosmetic dental work, or at the very least are curious at what exactly that may entail. For starters, cosmetic dentistry is the branch of dentistry that aims to create a positive change to both your teeth, and your overall smile.

Your tooth is at extreme risk of needing to be extracted, and you want to know, is there a way to save your tooth?! The short answer is yes, with a root canal! Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth.

At Spokane Dental, we don’t solely care for your teeth. By improving your oral health, we can positively impact whole body health. That is why it is so important to us to inform our patients about the effects of smoking on their oral health.

The foundation of an attractive smile is a set of healthy gums and teeth, which can only be attained by practicing basic oral hygiene. However, failing to maintain good oral health can result in dental issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and discolored teeth.

It’s not a good idea to wait for oral health issues to worsen since they can become painfully uncomfortable and costly to treat. You also don't want your children to go through the same thing when you first establish a dentist. The best decision to make for your entire household is to have a family dentist.

If you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, you might have considered veneers as a possible solution. But what exactly are veneers, and how do they work?

We love seeing children at Spokane Dental! Not only do we provide excellent care to the kiddos in our chair, but we emphasize education as well. We know that routine checkups are essential to health, but where the foundation of good oral health is laid is in the home.
