Drs. Engen & Pizzini is a distinguished dental clinic located at 9911 N Nevada St #110, Spokane, WA 99218. The practice is led by two highly qualified and board-certified specialists, Dr. David W. Engen and Dr. Andrea Pizzini. Dr. David W. Engen is a unique specialist, being one of only a handful in the country to hold dual board certifications in both Periodontics and Orthodontics. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from Indiana University School of Dentistry, following a Bachelor of Science in Neurobiology from Purdue University and a Master of Science in Physiology and Biophysics from Indiana University. His extensive training and expertise allow him to offer comprehensive solutions for gum disease, dental implants, and orthodontic needs, including traditional braces and Invisalign. Dr. Engen is also a co-founder of the Inland Northwest Dental Hygiene Study Club, recognized as the largest dental hygiene study club in the nation. Dr. Andrea Pizzini is a board-certified periodontist, one of six in the Inland Northwest. Originally from Italy, he received his dental degree from the University of Alfonso X el Sabio in Madrid, Spain, and completed his Post-Graduate Periodontics program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), earning a Master of Science in dentistry. Dr. Pizzini has conducted extensive research in sinus lift techniques, guided bone regeneration, and periodontal soft tissue grafting. He is an active lecturer internationally and holds visiting professorships. The clinic, operational since at least 1971 (with the current business starting locally then), specializes in a range of advanced dental services. These include comprehensive periodontal treatment for gum and bone diseases, gum grafting, and regeneration, often utilizing virtually pain-free laser dentistry. They have been at the forefront of dental implant placement since 1987, boasting an impressive 97.3% success rate on thousands of implants. Their implant services cover solutions for single missing teeth, multiple missing teeth, and full arch restorations like the All-on-4 protocol. Furthermore, their orthodontic services address misaligned teeth for patients of all ages, with Dr. Engen's unique dual specialization allowing for integrated treatment plans, especially for complex cases requiring advanced surgical options. The clinic prides itself on providing personalized, state-of-the-art care in a comfortable environment, emphasizing patient education and cutting-edge technology like 3D digital scanning.
