Providence Dental Residency
Providence Dental Residency
Serving the oral health needs of vulnerable, mentally or physically challenged, or medically-complex patients in Eastern Washington, the Providence Dental Residency Clinic is a collaboration of Providence, the Spokane dental community, the Washington state legislature and Delta Dental of Washington. Patients are treated in a new, modern dental office by expertly-trained clinicians, including students completing their General Practice Residency program at Sacred Heart Medical Center.
General dentistry services provided in this clinic include preventive dentistry, restorative dentistry, crowns and bridges, dentures, root canal therapy, treatment for periodontal disease, implants and oral surgery. Pain and anxiety relief options include Nitrous Oxide and IV conscious sedation.
Providers at the Spokane dental residency clinic hold full dental surgical privileges at Sacred Heart Medical Center, allowing us to offer general anesthesia, when needed, which is administered in the hospital operating room and monitored by board certified anesthesiologists. This allows us to treat patients with severe dental anxiety, mental or physical disabilities, or medical complexities that make treatment in a standard office setting impossible.
Our Spokane dental residency clinic scope of care covers all aspects of general dentistry, including preventive dentistry, restorative dentistry, crown and bridge, dentures, root canal therapy, treatment for periodontal disease, implants and oral surgery. For your comfort, we offer Nitrous Oxide and IV conscious sedation.
