This page lists 11 reviewed dental clinics in Spokane, WA. They are run by 3 separate health center organizations — Community Health Association of Spokane, Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic and The Native Project. That matters when you are calling around: each keeps its own books, its own waiting list and its own sliding fee schedule, so being turned away by one says nothing about the next.

The 11 clinics sit across 6 different Spokane ZIP codes. That spread means the closest one to you is not necessarily the first on this list. Search by ZIP code, and factor in the journey rather than the mileage.

The nearest other Washington cities with listings are Spokane Valley at about 7 miles (1 clinic), Nine Mile Falls at about 12 miles (1 clinic) and Cheney at about 16 miles (1 clinic). Distances are as the crow flies. It is worth calling across town boundaries: a clinic twenty minutes further out can be weeks sooner.

3 of the 11 Spokane locations have no website, so calling is the only way to find out what they offer. The other 8 carry links on the listing, though an organization-wide website often will not say which of its sites runs a dental clinic.

ZIP codes covered: 99201, 99202, 99204, 99205, 99207, 99208. If none of these is near you, the nearby cities listed below are the next place to look.

Before you travel across Spokane, settle the things these listings cannot: what to ask on the phone, how the sliding fee discount is applied for, and which door to use when it is urgent and money is short. If you think what you have might be an emergency, go to an emergency room rather than onto a dental waiting list; the price of that visit is not the thing to weigh in that moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

With several clinics here, which should I call first?

Not automatically the nearest. Waits differ by weeks between sites, and dental hours are often shorter than the health center hours on the door. Ask two or three what their next dental appointment is before choosing.

Will the number listed reach the dental department?

Often it reaches central scheduling instead, especially at larger organizations. Name the clinic and say the appointment is dental, or you can be booked into the medical queue.

How do I confirm a sliding-fee discount?

Ask which documents the clinic wants, whether dental is on a separate fee schedule from medical, and what your planned treatment would cost after the discount is applied.
