Greatest staff ever! Very friendly and they make you feel very comfortable and answer all your questions. I saw doctor Loftus’ son the last two visits, he obviously is a doctor also.

This office is so friendly! I would recommend it to everyone! My son has special needs, and they were so amazing with him, I was so happy to find a dentist that was compassionate about what he has gone through and so understanding. They were full of smiles and made everyone feel comfortable. It was obvious that they care about their patients.
Loftus Family Dental of Coeur d’Alene met all of my needs. My teeth were in very bad shape and now I have great fitting dentures. I highly recommend this dental facility.
Loftus family is the most professional and caring dentistry I have ever been to! I have quite of work to be done and I will never go anywhere else! They were very very efficient and smooth and at no time was I uncomfortable or in pain. I would recommend them to anyone anytime! Thank you so much to Amy and Dr Loftus for the help and care!
Overall, I was very impressed with the facility and especially the personnel. My extraction procedure came off without a hitch and the follow up was very thorough. It made me feel like the Dr and staff know what they are doing and they hold the patient in high regard. The front desk’s use of text, email and phone kept me continuously in the loop. The procedure was successful and I was reassured they would take care of me if problems developed.
Very professional. Nice atmosphere. Dental work is great.
This is the Absolute Best Dentist! Thr staff is so wonderful and caring, they are fast, and I am so glad I use them! I had a molar break and was causing me pain. They got me in the same day I called, did xrays and was able to pull the tooth the same day! They gave me antibiotics and pain relief to help me heal fast. Eric, his wife and Dr. Lotus score A+ in my book. Pricing is excellent as well! Thank you so much for taking GREAT CARE OF ME. Care the way it is supposed to be. Highly recommended.
Had an exemplary experience, I so pleased with the work, my smile is amazing now. Feels great and I can chew comfortably and my jaw is more relaxed. What a stellar team, best experience ever at a dentist, and price was very reasonable. Thank You Loftus Family Dentistry!
From the minute you walk into Dr Loftus’ office, you know you are in good hands. His office staff is so kind and attentive…special thanks to Amy and Eric for all they did to make sure I was comfortable. Dr. Loftus has a gentle manner and a good sense of humor. All the while, he and his state of the art equipment made going to the dentist a pleasant experience. What a blessing for us to have found him!
You may notice jaw tightness, sore facial muscles, morning headaches, or increased tooth sensitivity. Often, the wear on your teeth or dental restorations is the first visible clue. You might also hear from a partner that you’re grinding during sleep. If you’re noticing these signs, we’ll check your bite and enamel for any patterns. Dr. Loftus will recommend a custom guard if it’s the right solution.
Yes, custom guards are far more comfortable, effective, and durable. Store-bought versions often feel bulky, don’t stay in place, and may not properly protect your bite. A professionally made mouthguard fits your exact bite. This makes it more comfortable to wear consistently and more protective over time. It’s a small investment that helps prevent much larger dental issues.
A night guard won’t stop the clenching reflex itself. However, it will protect your teeth and reduce the pressure on your jaw while you sleep. Many people also notice a decrease in morning discomfort and fewer symptoms like headaches or tension after just a few nights of use. Over time, using a guard may help your muscles relax more naturally and reduce the habit’s intensity.
