Hear from Our Patients

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 for Family Dentists in Kennewick

What services are included in family dental care?

Family dental care can include routine exams, professional cleanings, digital X-rays, cavity checks, fillings, gum health evaluations, tooth pain assessments, preventive guidance, and restorative treatment planning. A family dentist can also help patients understand when services such as crowns, extractions, dentures, implants, cosmetic dentistry, or Invisalign® may fit their needs. The goal is to help each member of the household get practical dental support in one familiar office.

How can family dentistry help prevent cavities and gum disease?

Family dentistry helps prevent cavities and gum disease by combining regular dental exams, professional cleanings, gum checks, fluoride guidance, and home-care education. These visits allow our team to remove buildup, watch for early signs of decay, monitor bleeding or inflammation, and recommend changes before small problems become more difficult to treat. This is especially helpful for families because children, teens, and adults often have different risks and routines.

What does comfort-focused family dentistry mean?

Comfort-focused family dentistry means the dental team pays attention to how patients feel before, during, and after a visit. For children, that may mean calm explanations and a gentle pace. For adults, it may mean clear answers, respectful communication, and time to understand treatment options. At Family First Dental, we want family dental visits to feel approachable, organized, and supportive instead of rushed or confusing.

Can family dentists treat cavities, tooth pain, and gum concerns?

Family dentists commonly evaluate cavities, tooth pain, gum inflammation, bleeding gums, sensitivity, worn teeth, damaged fillings, and other everyday dental concerns. Depending on what is causing the problem, treatment may involve a filling, crown, periodontal care, root canal therapy, extraction, or another option. Our team examines the area, explains what we find, and helps you understand the next step for your oral health.
