Dan G - Yelm

I really appreciate the professionalism they exhibit and the care they put into their work. Honest and up front with cost analysis so you can decide on what procedures you want completed. This is my dental place for years and years to come!

K G - West Richland

Highly recommend! I've been having Jessica T. clean my teeth since 2007, she's the BEST! No pain or discomfort and my teeth have stayed healthy. Wherever she goes, my family goes! The office is conveniently located in west richland, brand new building w/ new technology, and the dentist is friendly and knowledgeable. Husband had a tooth break recently, they were able to get him in right away and took great care of him. The most gentle extraction he's ever had.

M Gormley - North Richland

Returning patient of the N. Richland office after moving away for five years. Appreciated Julie's thorough care and helpful advice - as per her usual high standards. I had seen Dr. Weatherill only a few times after Dr. Lagergren's practice was purchased. Dr. Weatherill is as professional and friendly as I remembered. Glad to be back!.

Ashley B - Washington

I have dental insurance that iant accepted here but I pay cash to go here because the staff is friendly and understanding. The doctors are professional and non judgemental as well as understanding and reassuring. I would recommend this dental office to anyone.

Erin G - Deschutes

I had a wonderful experience at my recent dental appointment at Family First Dental on Deschutes. As a first-time patient, I was so impressed by how thorough the exam was. The doctor was kind and informative, my hygienist was absolutely wonderful, and the entire staff made me feel genuinely welcomed from the moment I arrived. It's refreshing to find an office that is both professional and warm and I'm really looking forward to building a long-term relationship with this team. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Family Dental Practice

What should I look for in a West Richland family dentist?

When choosing a West Richland family dentist, look for a team that can care for different ages, explain treatment clearly, and help your household keep routine visits on track. A strong family dental office should offer preventive cleanings, exams, cavity care, gum health support, and restorative treatment planning in a setting that feels organized and approachable. It also helps to choose a team that takes time with questions instead of rushing patients through decisions.

How do family dentists support long-term oral health?

Family dentists support long-term oral health by monitoring changes over time. Regular visits allow the dental team to compare past and current findings, check for cavities, evaluate gums, review bite changes, look at old dental work, and recommend care before small concerns become harder to manage. For families, this ongoing relationship can make it easier to spot patterns, build better home habits, and plan treatment around each person’s needs.

What should I do if my family member is anxious about the dentist?

If someone in your family feels anxious about dental visits, tell the team before the appointment begins. Comfort-focused family dentistry can include slower explanations, check-ins during treatment, clear previews of what will happen, and time for questions. Children, teens, and adults may all experience dental anxiety differently, so the right approach starts with listening and helping the visit feel more predictable.

How often should my family members get their teeth cleaned?

Many patients should schedule professional teeth cleanings about every six months, but the best schedule can vary by age, gum health, cavity risk, braces or aligners, dry mouth, medical history, and past dental problems. Some children, teens, or adults may benefit from more frequent visits. A family dentist can recommend a cleaning schedule for each person based on what they see during exams and how well home care is working.
