Nineteen listings are registered under general dentistry, with four oral and maxillofacial surgery, three periodontics, two dental public health, two dental clinics and one each in endodontics, orthodontics and prosthodontics. Practices can hold more than one registration, so those numbers add to more than 31.
What is listed in Cliff-Cannon
S Bernard St has seven listings, W 7th Ave and W 14th Ave five each, W 6th Ave four and S Washington St three, with the rest spread across other streets. There is no single dental strip here, so choose by what is convenient rather than expecting one destination.
The specialist coverage is broad but shallow. Four oral and maxillofacial surgery listings and three periodontics give some choice, while endodontics, orthodontics and prosthodontics have one listing each, which means a single local option in those fields.
Seventeen listings are registered as individual practitioners and 14 as organizations. Seventeen of the 31 were registered before 2010 and the oldest registration dates to 2005, so the neighborhood is split fairly evenly between long standing addresses and newer ones.

How to choose between them
For routine care the pool is 19 practices rather than 31, so start calling early rather than assuming there is always space. Ask whether they are accepting new patients, which plans they are in network with, what a first exam and X-rays cost without insurance, and how far ahead they are booking.
Ask whether you will see the same dentist each visit. With practices spread over several streets rather than clustered, it is worth picking one you can reach easily and expect to stay with.
If you are referred to endodontics, orthodontics or prosthodontics, remember there is only one listing in each here. Ask about waiting times immediately and be ready to look at Riverside or Comstock if the wait is long.
If you need something Cliff-Cannon does not have
Only pediatric dentistry is missing entirely. The nearest listings are elsewhere in Spokane, about 2.9 miles away, where 16 pediatric practices are registered, so families have a real choice a short drive away.
For general care, Riverside has 36 listings just 0.5 miles away, which is more than the neighborhood itself, and Comstock has 27 at 1.8 miles. Garfield has 11 at 2.0 miles, while the University District, South Perry District and North Bank have four each at 1.0, 1.4 and 1.5 miles. Riverside is the obvious place to look next.
Insurance and paying
In network means a practice has agreed set fees with your insurer, so your share of the bill is lower and predictable. Out of network reflects pricing rather than quality, and it can mean paying more or paying first and claiming back. Confirm coverage with the insurer as well as the practice before your first visit.
For anything beyond an exam and cleaning, ask for a written estimate that itemizes each procedure with the expected plan payment and your share. Our listings come from registry data that holds no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information, and none of the 31 listings here has been claimed. Claiming a listing is how a practice publishes those details on its own page.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that has kept you awake, call the general practices on S Bernard St and the numbered avenues and ask directly for a same day emergency slot. Four oral surgery listings in the neighborhood help if an extraction is the answer.
Go to an emergency room instead of a dentist if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if you are having trouble breathing or swallowing, if you have a fever with facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop.
If nothing local can fit you in, dentist directory lets you search by distance rather than by neighborhood, which reaches Riverside in half a mile.
Questions patients ask
How many dentists are listed in Cliff-Cannon?
Thirty-one dental practices are listed with addresses in the neighborhood, across ZIP codes 99204 and 99203. Nineteen are registered under general dentistry, four under oral and maxillofacial surgery and three under periodontics, with single listings in endodontics, orthodontics and prosthodontics, plus two dental clinics and two dental public health registrations.
Is there a pediatric dentist here?
No practice in the neighborhood is registered under pediatric dentistry. The nearest are elsewhere in Spokane, about 2.9 miles away, where 16 are listed. Many of the 19 general dentists here see children as part of routine family care, so ask when you call before traveling.
Which streets have the most dental practices?
S Bernard St has seven of the 31 listings, W 7th Ave and W 14th Ave five each, W 6th Ave four and S Washington St three. The remainder are spread across other streets, so unlike many neighborhoods there is no single road where most of the dentistry sits.
