Experience Gentle Dental Care That Makes You Smile

Having strong, healthy teeth helps you eat your favorite foods, talk clearly, and feel confident when you smile. At Priest River Dental, we create treatment plans that fit your needs and busy schedule.

We offer complete dental care to keep your mouth healthy and happy:

Regular Checkups – We clean your teeth thoroughly and look for small problems before they become big ones. These visits include fluoride treatments and other ways to protect your teeth and gums.
Mouthguards – Keep your teeth safe with custom guards made just for you. We make special guards for sports and for people who grind their teeth while they sleep.
Smile Improvements – Make your teeth whiter and brighter with professional whitening treatments. We can also fix gaps or chips with tooth-colored materials that look natural and beautiful.
Clear Aligners – Straighten crooked teeth without metal braces. These clear plastic trays slowly move your teeth into the right position, and most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
Tooth Repairs – Fix cavities, cracks, or worn spots using materials that match your natural teeth. We use crowns, fillings, and other treatments that look and feel like your real teeth.
Replacing Missing Teeth – Get back your ability to eat and speak normally with dental implants, bridges, or dentures. These options help restore your smile and make eating comfortable again.

Many people feel nervous about going to the dentist, and that’s perfectly normal. Our whole team knows how you feel and works hard to make you comfortable. We understand that both kids and adults sometimes worry before dental visits.

Our office has special things to help nervous patients feel better, like soft weighted blankets and headphones that block out sounds. For people who need extra help staying calm, we offer safe sedation options. We always explain what we’re doing and ask if you have questions before we start any treatment.

Worried about paying for dental care? Our special Membership Club helps families get quality dental care without regular insurance. This program gives you discounts on treatments and lets you pay over time instead of all at once.
