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 General Dental Care

What should I do if I have tooth pain in West Richland?

If you have tooth pain, swelling, lingering sensitivity, or discomfort when biting or chewing, schedule a dental visit instead of waiting to see if it goes away. Tooth pain can come from decay, a cracked tooth, gum inflammation, an infected nerve, a bite problem, or another dental concern that needs a closer look. Our team can evaluate the area, use digital imaging when appropriate, and explain which treatment options may help protect your tooth and relieve the source of the problem.

How do I know if I have a cavity?

A cavity may cause sensitivity, dark spots, rough tooth edges, pain when chewing, or discomfort with sweets, heat, or cold. Some cavities, however, develop without obvious symptoms, which is why routine West Richland dental exams are important. During an exam, our team can check for early signs of decay, review X-rays when needed, and recommend care before a small cavity becomes more difficult to treat.

How does Family First Dental help anxious patients?

Family First Dental helps anxious patients by creating a calmer, more predictable visit. Our team explains what we are doing, checks in throughout the appointment, answers questions, and gives patients time to understand their options before treatment begins. For many patients, a comfortable dental experience starts with feeling heard, respected, and informed.

What happens during my first dental exam?

During your first visit, our team reviews your health history, discusses your concerns, and evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, existing dental work, and overall oral health. A West Richland dental office may recommend digital X-rays or intraoral imaging to see areas that are not visible during a basic exam. After the evaluation, we walk you through our findings and help you understand next steps for cleanings, preventive care, or any recommended treatment.
