A Hometown Doctor You Can Trust

Dr. Cory Gaunt was born and raised in Spokane and has cared for this Audubon practice for more than ten years. Patients trust him as a lifelong neighbor, not just a provider.

Our comfort-first office was designed for people who dread the dentist, with sedation options, comfy blankets, wireless headphones, and a calm, no-judgment team. Anxious patients tell us we changed how they feel about dental care.

Advanced Technology, Gentle Care

3D cone beam imaging, intraoral cameras, and digital Invisalign scanning give you precise diagnoses and durable results, all delivered with a warm, unhurried touch.

Dental Implants and All-on-4

Permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement done in-house, from a single implant to mini implants, All-on-4 teeth in a day, and bone grafting, even for patients told implants were not an option.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Discreet, comfortable teeth straightening for teens and adults, guided by 3D digital scanning so you can see your new smile before treatment begins.

Testimonials

What Others Are Saying

I have gone to Downriver Smiles in Spokane, WA for years now. Their equipment is very modern. I will get a crown soon, and the need for it was explained very, very clearly. My 75-year-old teeth feel like they are in good hands.

The doctor has always been the best. He has saved my teeth. I would recommend him to anyone! Not only do I trust him, but the entire office is the best I’ve ever experienced.

I had an appointment today with the Downriver Smiles and I have to tell you that I am so very very pleased with the establishment, the building, the team, the dentist - everyone is top-notch and really does a great job. I highly recommend them.

The doctor did such an amazing job on my composites. I love my smile now. Everyone says they're so perfect they look like veneers! He's a true artist!

I’m really glad I chose this place. Everyone is super nice and the environment is calming. I put off going to the dentist for years, but now I am relieved I went. I would recommend this place to my family and friends.
