Twenty-four listings are recorded as general dentistry. The directory also lists two oral and maxillofacial surgeons, two pediatric dentists, one orthodontist, one prosthodontist and one dental clinic. Routine care is well covered and two common specialties are missing.
What is listed in Veradale
E Indiana Ave carries the most listings with 13, followed by E Sprague Ave with 9. E Springfield Ave has 3, S Sullivan Rd has 3 and N Sullivan Rd has 2. The two main avenues account for 22 of the 30, so a shortlist can be built without much driving.
Two ZIP codes cover the area, 99216 and 99037. Nineteen listings are registered to individual practitioners and 11 to organizations. Only six have been on the register since before 2010, and the oldest registration dates to 2006, so the great majority of these are recent registrations.
Nineteen individual practitioner registrations against 11 organizations means both single dentist offices and larger groups are represented. Solo practices usually give you the same dentist at every visit, while groups tend to have more chairs, wider opening and cover when someone is away.
- E Indiana Ave: 13 practices
- E Sprague Ave: 9 practices

- ZIP codes covered: 99216 and 99037
Choosing between them
Only six of the 30 listings predate 2010, which is low. That says nothing about the quality of any individual practice, but it does mean you should ask how long the dentist has actually worked at that address and what happens to your records if the practice changes hands. Continuity is worth checking rather than assuming.
With 24 general dentistry listings you have room to be selective. Ask whether they are accepting new patients, whether they are in network with your plan, how far ahead exams and hygiene visits are booked, and what the practice handles in house. That last question matters here because two common specialties are missing.
What is not here
Two specialties have no listing in Veradale. Endodontics, for root canal treatment, and periodontics, for gum disease, are both nearest elsewhere in Spokane Valley, 1.9 miles away, where the directory lists nine endodontic practices and five periodontic practices. Neither gap means a long journey.
Nearby, Opportunity is the standout with 70 practices at 2.0 miles, easily the largest pool close to Veradale. Dishman has 23 at 3.9 miles and Millwood 8 at 4.3 miles. Greenacres and Irwin list three each, at 2.0 and 2.1 miles.
Insurance and paying
In network means your insurer has agreed the fee in advance and you pay the agreed share. Out of network means the practice sets its own fee and your plan reimburses part of it, or nothing at all. Ask when you book, and ask whether the office files the claim on your behalf.
For anything beyond an exam and clean, ask for a written estimate with procedure codes, the total and your expected share. If a membership or discount plan is offered instead of insurance, ask for the terms in writing including what happens if you cancel.
Our registry holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information. Of the 30 Veradale listings, one has a published website and one has published hours, and none has been claimed by its owner. Claiming a listing is the only way a practice can publish those details here.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call the E Indiana Ave and E Sprague Ave practices at opening time. With 24 general dentists in the neighborhood, a short round of calls covers most of it, and the larger group practices usually have the most capacity for an emergency.
Some symptoms mean an emergency room rather than a dentist. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if breathing or swallowing is becoming difficult, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding from the mouth will not stop.
If nothing here is free, Opportunity is 2.0 miles away with 70 listings, and you can search by distance at dentist directory.
