Dr. Cotton loves being active, loves being with his family, and loves being a dentist. He often says, Ive got the best gig in the world.

We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.

For Dr. Nathan Cotton, Dr. Darrin Rich, and our team, dentistry is how we serve our Spokane Valley friends and neighbors. We know the role oral health plays in your overall health and wellbeing and we know how important it is to have a smile you love to share.

Our mission is to create the very best dental experience in a comfortable, friendly environment that is rewarding for our wonderful patients and incredible team. We make dental visits positive and educational in the right atmosphere.

Communication: Open and effective communication is at the core of care we provide. We are non-judgmental listeners and promise to always hear and respect your wishes. In spending time talking with you, we encourage your questions and are always happy to address concerns.

Before starting treatment, we will walk you through the diagnosis, explaining what is happening in your mouth and what that means. We will then review options to address the issue, talk about what is recommended and why, and also review fees, insurance, and your responsibilities.

Comfortable Procedures: Each of us understands about dental anxieties and the need to provide painless care in a supportive environment. While our doctors and staff are known for a gentle touch, we also offer sedation options, including nitrous oxide, and use a dental laser for some procedures. If you are feeling worried, please talk with us: we can help and are glad to do so!
