- Teeth Cleaning
- FillingsThe doctor also uses safe amalgam fillings removal techniques, for patients who wish to have existing mercury fillings replaced with composite or porcelain.
- Resin CompositeDr. Weigand will be happy to talk with you about this matter during a personal consultation. Meanwhile, in his care, you have access to a beautiful alternative to mercury fillings. Dr. Weigand places contemporary, BPA-safe composite resin fillings. This material matches tooth color, so no one will know you had a cavity. It is ideal for front tooth restorations, and strong and durable enough for molars.
- VeneersThe next time you are at a Riverfront Park event or walking down any busy street in Spokane, WA, notice the smiles of the people around you. Many are attractive. Some, however, really stand out with striking brilliance, symmetry, and balance. In many cases, the secret to these show-stopping smiles is dental veneers from Dr. Richard Weigand.
- CrownsA discolored or damaged tooth has a big impact on your smile. It can also affect your ability to chew comfortably and speak clearly. Lifelike porcelain dental crowns correct functional and cosmetic flaws. Patients in the Spokane, WA area choose Dr. Richard Weigand for leading edge techniques and a wealth of clinical experience with proven results.
- BridgesA biocompatible titanium post is placed into a prepared site in the jawbone. It mimics the root of a missing tooth and serves as a solid foundation for the tooth restoration. A stand-alone implant is topped with a porcelain crown to restore appearance and function. Implants can also be used to anchor a dental bridge (without need to grind down healthy adjacent teeth), or to secure a full denture with amazing comfort and stability.
- Dental BondingCosmetic dental bonding is a tooth-colored material made of BPA-safe resin. Bonding repairs chips and cracks; closes gaps between teeth; improves shape, size, or color; and repairs worn down teeth. Silver-colored mercury fillings can be replaced with bonding, too. Cosmetic bonding is completed in one visit, and often numbing is not necessary.
- Restorative DentistryA smile makeover is much more than tooth restoration. It is a life-altering decision that can transform your smile and rebuild your confidence with a combination of cosmetic and restorative dentistry techniques.

The utmost technologically advanced, professional and compassionate experience!! Admired by their peers and our community! I have found my dentist for life!!
- Periodontal SurgeryLaser periodontal surgery restores vitality to soft tissues. So, if gum graft surgery is necessary to restore receding gums, it is more likely to be successful.
- DenturesAre you hiding your smile? Millions of people across the U.S. struggle with the effects of tooth loss, so you are not alone. Traditional solutions such as dentures and dental bridges can alleviate some issues associated with missing teeth but are often found to be short-term solutions for a permanent concern. If you feel embarrassed by missing teeth or are tired of dealing with a dental bridge or loose-fitting dentures, Dr. Richard D. Weigand in Spokane, WA can help. He provides long-lasting dental implant tooth replacement.
- Dental ImplantsTooth loss may be caused by severe periodontal disease, bone loss, root resorption, advanced tooth decay, or extractions. Dental implants are a life-like permanent solution for patients with a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or a full arch of upper or lower teeth gone.
- Oral Surgery
- Gum SurgeryGum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults, and 178 million people in the U.S. are missing at least one tooth. Only a fraction of those affected receive necessary care per year. The most common reason people delay treatment is fear of painful procedures. Despite being a successful solution for periodontal disease, gum surgery has gotten a negative reputation over the years. Dr. Richard Weigand is pleased to offer a modern, minimally invasive laser alternative vs traditional surgery for patients in the Spokane, WA area.
- Tooth Extractions
- OrthodonticsWith advancements in modern dental technology, there is now a faster, more affordable orthodontic solution to get the straighter smile you deserve. Using the latest technology in orthodontics and having over 30 years of experience, he can help you get a straighter smile and renewed confidence with clear aligners.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsInstead of cemented brackets and metal wires, this method of teeth straightening uses smooth, transparent plastic aligners to gently reposition teeth. Invisalign is popular because the aligners are barely noticeable, and they do not irritate the gums, cheeks, or lips.
- BracesIf you have crooked teeth, you could be among the millions experiencing lowered self-confidence that affects your social and professional life, and your happiness. An estimated four million people in the U.S. (a quarter of them adults) are in traditional braces. Brackets and wires are not for everyone, though.
