Dr. Ryan Bushman is a Quincy native, and after an undergraduate degree at Eastern Washington University, he earned his dental degree from the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health.
Dr. Bushman and his wife chose to plant their roots in the greater Spokane area because of twin loves of family and adventure.
The couple's five kids enjoy being raised close to extended family and to the myriad of outdoor opportunities in the Inland Northwest.
They enjoy outdoor activities such as snow skiing, being out on the boat, or just adventuring in general, especially when spending time together.

We all know that brushing your teeth and regular dental visits keep your teeth clean and shiny but did you know that it also improves your overall health?
Poor oral hygiene has been proven to lead to many dental and medical conditions such as heart disease, strokes, gum disease, infection and diabetes.
None of us can escape from plaque, it's made by our own mouths.
Plaque consists of calcium deposits which build up over time.
These deposits can appear the same color as your teeth.
Sometimes these calcium deposits can get large and can break and if they do you might think you chipped your a tooth.

Crowns or caps are a restoration that completely encircles or caps the tooth.
Crowns are indicated when a large restoration threatens the longevity of the health of the tooth.
Crowns are also needed when a tooth breaks or after you have had root canal treatment to preserve the tooth.
Dr. Bushman offers different materials for crowns.
Majority of crowns made by dentists in the Spokane area are porcelain fused to metal crowns.
These crowns have been used for a long time in dentistry.
Porcelain fused to metal crowns have a metal coping with a porcelain top.
