Services
General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services focus on preventive care and early disease detection. We provide comprehensive exams, digital X-rays, professional cleanings, and oral cancer screenings. Our dentists address dental decay through fillings, root canals, and extractions while offering restorative solutions like crowns, bridges, and dentures. We also provide implant placement and restoration services to replace missing teeth effectively.
Relaxation Dentistry
We offer multiple sedation options to ensure comfortable treatment experiences. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) provides mild sedation during procedures. Oral sedation helps anxious patients relax for in-office treatments. For complex cases requiring deeper sedation, we coordinate general anesthesia services at off-site facilities while maintaining continuity of care throughout the treatment process.
Teeth Whitening
Our professional teeth whitening services address tooth discoloration through customized home treatment plans. After creating precise dental impressions, we provide prescription-strength bleaching materials and custom-fitted trays. Patients receive personalized instructions for optimal results while minimizing sensitivity. We evaluate existing dental work to ensure appropriate treatment planning and long-lasting whitening effects.
Preventive Care
Preventive care forms the foundation of our practice philosophy. Our hygienists deliver thorough dental cleanings, periodontal disease prevention, and gum disease treatment. We employ advanced techniques like ultrasonic cleaning and fluoride treatments. Patients receive personalized oral hygiene instruction to improve brushing and flossing techniques for maintaining optimal oral health between professional visits.
Dental Emergencies
We provide emergency dental care for urgent oral health issues. Patients can access after-hours emergency services by calling our office line. Our team prioritizes prompt treatment for dental trauma, severe pain, and infections during regular business hours. We coordinate with local medical facilities for complex emergencies requiring immediate medical attention.

The people are very friendly and helpful. They explain what they are doing and make you feel very comfortable. There is never a long wait and I enjoy the joking around with the staff and the doctors. It is like being with close friends. I have recommended them to several families who needed dentists and they were all pleased with the care they received.

I have been to MANY of the area's dental practices, and Bearable is the absolute best practice on the Palouse, in my opinion. I started at Bearable when we first moved to Moscow 10 years ago and was extremely satisfied with the care I received. 4 years later, we moved to Colfax, about 40 minutes away in Washington, and I began looking for a closer dentist. After trying one practice in Pullman who INSISTED that I NEEDED a crown on a tooth that very clearly didn't need one (verified by 2 different dentists), and tried to sell me over $300 worth of things I didn't need, I decided to try a Colfax practice.
I had several very bad experiences in that office, which gave me dental anxiety. Very long story short, I decided to go back to Bearable and have not regretted it one bit. The care I've received, the friendly staff, knowledgeable hygienists, and the personable dentists make the drive worth it every time.

Do not go here. Went to have an implant put in and a tooth extracted. I had the worst experience of my life going here. I'll never go to another dentist in my life. Not only did the dentist send me into a full blown panic attack in the chair but he was sooooooooooo rough. Also I got dry socket and then they didn't want to do any pain management. Also they never called me after the extraction to check on me.
I had to call them two days later and tell them I thought I had dry socket and needed to come back in to be checked out. Through all of this I felt like I was violated and then had a panic attack, which I've never had before and felt like I was dying, and then they just didn't care about any of this unpleasant experience for me at all. All they wanted was for me to leave and not to come back. I'll never go here again and I'll tell everyone I know to not go here.
I just don't understand how dentist think that they can be so rough and that there isn't a person attached to these nerves and bones that they're banging and smashing on. Terrible terrible terrible. If I could give you zero stars I would.

Awesome Dental practice! Dr. Schiavoni is the greatest dentist I have ever seen in my 62 years on this planet. My upper teeth were a mess and he placed crowns on them restoring my incredible smile. Thanks Doc!
