Comfort Dental

Comfort Dental is a well-established dental franchise with over 150 independently owned offices across 10 states in the United States, including the Spokane, Washington location. Founded in 1977 by Dr. Rick Kushner, Comfort Dental operates on a "lean & mean" practice management strategy, aiming to maximize efficiency and keep overhead costs low, which allows them to offer affordable dental care. The franchise model emphasizes full equity ownership for dentists, providing them with autonomy while benefiting from a recognized brand and established systems. The Spokane office, like other Comfort Dental locations, offers comprehensive general dentistry services. These include routine dental cleanings, examinations, and X-rays, as well as restorative procedures like fillings (including mercury-safe and tooth-colored options), dental crowns, and bridges. They also provide more advanced services such as dental implants, tooth extractions, and oral surgery. For patients seeking cosmetic improvements, services like teeth whitening and enamel shaping are available. A key aspect of Comfort Dental's approach is patient comfort and accessibility. They offer convenient hours, including evenings and Saturdays, to accommodate diverse schedules. To ease patient anxiety, they provide options like nitrous oxide (laughing gas), topical anesthesia, and painless injections. The practice is committed to transparent communication, with doctors explaining procedures and fees in advance. For patients without insurance, they offer a "Gold Plan" to help manage costs. Comfort Dental also has a strong community focus, notably through their annual "Care Day" where franchisees offer free dental care on Christmas Day.
