Save Your Money

Routine cleanings and exams are affordable, predictable costs that can save you money by catching issues early. Minor treatments like composite fillings are much less expensive than more complex procedures.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

A routine check-up includes a teeth cleaning and an exam. Regular visits remove plaque and tartar buildup, even with daily brushing and flossing, and allow us to monitor your oral health, paying special attention to problem areas.

Leftover food particles, especially in hard-to-reach areas, feed bacteria in your mouth. These bacteria produce acids that weaken enamel, leading to tooth decay. A diet high in sugar or acidic foods like coffee and soda accelerates the process.

Genetics can play a role. Some people are naturally more susceptible to cavity-causing bacteria or have crowded teeth that are harder to clean. The best defense is maintaining excellent oral hygiene and eating habits.

Yes, fillings prevent further tooth decay and future pain. Treating a small issue early makes it easier to manage and prevents larger problems down the road.

Routine cleanings can prevent or reverse early tooth decay. For more advanced decay, we use composite fillings, fluoride treatment, or a root canal for infected teeth. Severely decayed teeth may require a dental crown, veneers, or even extraction with replacement options like implants or bridges.

Routine cleanings and exams are completely safe and encouraged during pregnancy. Preventive care helps avoid infection and manage dental symptoms. In case of emergency or infection, more invasive procedures may be necessary, but elective treatments like teeth whitening should be postponed.

Riverbend Family Dental deserves 10 stars (at least) not just 5! Yesterday was my first appointment at Riverbend Family Dental with Dr. Nathan Eames and I will never go anywhere else for my dental needs ever again! I have Medicaid for my health/dental insurance and every dental office I called (and was begging to get seen due to some serious concerns I have with my teeth) I was told they don’t except Medicaid or because I have Medicaid, it was going to be months and months before I could get seen - Until I called Riverbend Family Dental who got me in and cared for within 2 days! I’m from Oregon (and have lived in Idaho now for 6 months) and in Oregon I was regularly judged, I felt unaccepted and unsupported, and was treated very poorly and uncomfortably to where I never wanted to go back to the dentist - I’m SO grateful Dr. Eames at Riverbend Family Dental is the exact opposite and truly is the best, most understanding and non-judgmental dentist I have ever been to! They got me in 6 days later to do 1 1/2 hours of dental work on me, and Dr. Eames truly listened to my biggest concerns and is going to help fix those first for me! The owner/dentist and all staff at Riverbend Family Dental are all absolutely AMAZING, kind, caring, and the best dental office I have ever been to! I love them and I love my new dentist!

I’ve been a patient here for about a year and have truly loved every bit of my experience. Maddie, the hygienist I've seen twice, is absolutely wonderful—thorough, gentle, and always so friendly, which makes every visit comfortable and stress-free. Dr. Nate is fantastic as well; he’s knowledgeable, kind, personable, and takes the time to explain everything clearly, which I really appreciate. The entire staff is welcoming, the office is clean and modern, and appointments always run smoothly. I’m so grateful to have found a dental office I actually enjoy going to. Highly recommend!
