Most of it is general dentistry spread over five roads. Three specialties are missing, but only barely, as the nearest listings are a tenth of a mile outside the neighborhood.
What is listed in Opportunity
55 of the 70 listings are tagged general dentistry, a higher share than most neighborhoods of this size. The rest are 6 dental clinic, 5 orthodontics, 2 oral and maxillofacial surgery, 1 dental anesthesiology and 1 pediatric dentistry. A listing can carry more than one tag, so the totals overlap.
The addresses are spread over five roads: 22 on E Broadway Ave, 13 on N Pines Rd, 10 on N Vercler Rd, 9 on S Pines Rd and 7 on E Sprague Ave. That gives you a real choice of location, which is unusual in a neighborhood this dense with listings.
44 listings are registered as individual practitioners and 26 as organizations. 44 of the 70 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration here dates to 2006, so a clear majority have been on file for more than fifteen years.

How to choose between them
With 55 general dentistry listings across five roads, distance is a genuinely useful filter here. Work out which road you pass most often, then call two or three practices on it and ask when a new patient exam is available.
Ask what they do in house. With only 2 oral and maxillofacial surgery listings and no endodontics or periodontics listings in the neighborhood, a general dentist who handles root canals, extractions and gum treatment themselves will save you appointments elsewhere.
1 of the 70 listings has published a website with us and 1 has published opening hours. For the other 69 there is no substitute for calling, which is also the moment to ask about evening or weekend availability.
If you need something this neighborhood does not have
Three specialties have no listing in Opportunity, but the gaps are technical rather than practical. Our nearest endodontics, periodontics and prosthodontics listings are elsewhere in Spokane Valley, about 0.1 miles beyond the neighborhood boundary, with 9, 5 and 2 practices respectively. Prosthodontics is thin at 2, so book ahead for denture or complex crown work that needs a specialist.
For general choice, Veradale is 2.0 miles away with 30 listings and Dishman is 1.9 miles away with 23. Millwood has 8 at 2.5 miles, while Irwin has 3 at 1.0 mile and Greenacres has 3 at 4.0 miles.

Insurance and paying
Our registry holds no fees and no insurance information, and opening hours only where a practice has published them, which here is 1 listing out of 70. None of the 70 has been claimed by its owner, so cost questions go straight to the practice.
Ask whether they are in network with your specific plan rather than with your insurer generally. In network usually means a rate agreed in advance. Out of network can still be workable if your plan pays a share, but you carry more of the bill.
For anything beyond a checkup, ask for a written estimate with the procedure codes. Orthodontic treatment is worth pinning down in particular: ask for the cost of the full course rather than the monthly figure.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call the general practices on E Broadway Ave and N Pines Rd and ask outright whether they hold same day emergency slots. With 55 general listings in the neighborhood, a run of calls is the fastest way to be seen today.
Some symptoms need an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if you have trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
To search by distance rather than by neighborhood, dentist directory orders practices by how far they are from where you are.

Is there a children's dentist in Opportunity?
