Community Calendar

We are so excited to announce our sixth annual "Smiles for Freedom" event, hosted by Smile More Spokane Family Dentistry (formerly Bryan Hill DDS), as we extend our gratitude to our local veterans by offering a day of FREE dental care services. Our experienced dental team will provide local veterans with a range of complimentary services, including cleanings, exams, fillings, extractions, and more.

By Appointment Only: This event operates on an appointment-only basis to ensure we can accommodate as many veterans as possible. Call (509) 468-4040 to secure your spot.

Why This Matters:
Veteran dental care is a growing need in our country; approximately less than ten percent of veterans qualify for dental services. A veteran must be considered 100% disabled to qualify for VA dental care or have been specifically dentally harmed while in service. With dental health's impact on general health, it is essential for us to help those who have served our country and communities. “Smiles For Freedom” provides a way for our office to give back by serving the dental needs of our local heroes. All services provided on this day will be FREE! All work will be provided at the highest standards of quality and care that we normally provide to our wonderful patients on any given day. Free dental services on this day will include a combination of diagnostic services, cleanings, fillings, extractions, and other possible dental health services based on individual needs.

How to Participate: If you're a local veteran or know someone who is, schedule your free dental appointment by calling (509) 468-4040.

Whether you come for the music, the magic of the season, or the chance to gather with neighbors and friends, the Christmas Jubilee Concert is the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit.

All are Welcome! Come the First and Third Tuesdays at 6pm. We are focusing on Sri Easwaran's form of passage meditation and his 8-Point Program for daily living, currently meeting at the Spokane Buddhist Temple. This form of meditation fits with any spiritual path. Passage meditation was designed specifically for the Western “monkey mind.” It is a very disciplined approach to slowing down and focusing. It is difficult, but very rewarding! We are currently studying Sri Easwaran’s book "Passage Meditation". Questions, call Lou Ann at (509) 590-3512
