Downriver Smiles
Dr. Gaunt replaced my two front crowns I have had since I was 15 years old and now I am 59. He was very meticulous in sizing, shaping, fitting and color matching and spent adequate time to achieve those results. This is the best dental care I have ever had in the life. I highly recommend Downriver Smiles and their very friendly and caring staff.

Dr. Gaunt is very good at what he does. He is one of the best dentists I've ever had. The staff is absolutely wonderful as well. To them you are more than just a number, you are a person and thats what i love the most about them. They treat you like you're family, and they do their absolute best to actually save you money.

Dr. Gant and the entire staff at Downriver Smiles are fantastic people. Very thorough, professional, caring and kind. The attention to detail and desire to leave me better than they found me makes this office a cut above. Thank you Downriver Smiles for being so thoughtful and helpful every time I come in.

I have been a patient here for a few years now and have always had good service but something has slipped. The front desk staff is new since my previous appointment and seem to be of the opinion that a mandatory mask requirement does not apply to them. They genuinely seemed confused when I called at the front door to let them know I was there like their sign requests patients do. Dr. Gaunt seems entirely checked out and barely did an examination, fishing his fingers around in my mouth while not even looking. The hygienist was amazing as always but I think she will be leaving the practice soon.

I was not looking forward to the need for lower dentures and chose to go the rout or implants. Dr Gaunt recommended 2 implants as I couldn't afford to break the bank. I now have a denture that is in place with 2 implants and I can't say enough about how happy I am so I will just say thank you Dr. Gaunt for improving the quality of my life. Being able to eat what I want is more than a pleasure but euphoric. I have experimented with nuts, corn on the cob, even beef jerky and they are fabulous. Thank you again and I highly recommend Dr. Gaunt and his pleasant staff.

I came here for a second opinion and at the recommendation of a friend. The front desk were polite though not friendly, same with the hygienist but Dr Gaunt was friendly and I felt comfortable with him. Their estimate (after I gave them my insurance card etc) was similar to the other office which works with my plan often. I decided to go ahead with their services.
After I had had 2 appointments (out of 4 total needed) I started to get bills from them saying that I owed hundreds more (I had paid over $30 in "copays" already) because my plan didn't reimburse the way they had "expected".

I hear they are great at fixing teeth but could not get that far. Despite their professionally-made strict COVID policy signs out front, the staff could care less about protections. I had to as them multiple times to put on masks IN A CLINIC. After enough of that I cancelled my appointment and walked out. My wife continued but, as someone else pointed out, the staff is too lazy to pre-clear with insurance and so everything is a surprise. They sent us a bill for films as our insurance denied them. If they had waited 2 more weeks for the films, they would have been covered. Other clinics understand

Best dentist in Spokane! Don’t look any further! I chipped my front tooth and they got me in the next day! Left with a beautiful smile and my wallet still intact! I wasn’t an existing patient, but I am now! Awesome environment and extremely friendly staff! 10/10 hands down would recommend !

This may be shallow, BUT THE PRICE!! Because of insurance, last year I had to go elsewhere after discovering I was out of network. Insurance changed, I returned here, and the experience PLUS the rates were absolutely amazing!!!
How so? Well, I was offered an array of things to help calm nerves, and although I didn't need all of them, it was incredibly comforting to be told they were not only available, but at no extra charge!! Next, the care. My comfort was of utmost importance. I was a person. Professionalism was foremost, with familiarity growing as my mood and personality were evaluated.
