Welcome to Grand Corner Dental. We focus on the placement and restoration of dental implants and have been doing so since the 90's. We provide an ultra-comfortable office equipped with individual treatment suites, ergonomic chairs, blankets, and flat screens with cable television and DVD players. You can request massages from our assistants during treatment appointments, but you will probably receive a bright smile and a chuckle as a reply.

Call us today to set up a complimentary consultation 509-838-2434.

Why implants?

Implants change peooples lives. They are the longest lasting treatment we have in dentistry, and the closest representation of your natural teeth in terms of strength, esthetics and durability. Implants can be utlized to replace single teeth, or support bridges, and full dentures. A denture supported by implants is retained in the mouth by the implants and provides the stability needed to eat with a chewing motion more like when you had your natural teeth.

Do implants hurt?

No. We have more anesthetic than our patients have nerves. And, the implant placement itself is a minor procedure with little post-treatment discomfort.

How long does the implant procedure take?

Implant placement can take a little as 45 minutes to up to a few hours for full mouth treatments.

Do you put me to sleep for implant placement?

Not usually, implant placement itself is a minor procedure and well tolerated by our patients.

How long until I have a tooth?

After an implant is placed, it is best to wait six months to allow your bone to grow around and hold the implant tight. During that waiting period we have three temporary options for our patients to replace the tooth. After six months, a permanent white crown (tooth) can be placed on top of the implant, and they look nice, really nice.

Come in and see us on the south hill of Spokane today to give you the esthetics and chewing you desire.
