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!
It’s common for wisdom teeth to cause issues long before symptoms appear. They may grow in at an angle, remain partially impacted, or put pressure on neighboring teeth. That’s why we use 3-D scans to evaluate their position, even if you’re not feeling pain. If we see potential for crowding, infection, or decay, we may recommend removing them proactively to avoid complications later.
It’s common to have your wisdom teeth removed between the ages of 16 and 25. That’s when the roots are still forming and healing is faster. However, it’s never too late. If your wisdom teeth are causing discomfort, crowding, or infection at any age, extraction can still offer long-term benefits. We’ll review your scan and let you know the best timing based on your health and anatomy.
You can expect to return to normal routines within a few days. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you minimize swelling, protect the surgical site, and stay comfortable during recovery. Soft foods, gentle rinsing, and following our tips can make healing smooth and simple. If any questions come up, we’re just a phone call away.
