Looking for a trusted dentist in the Lewis-Clark Valley? Canyon Dental provides complete family, cosmetic and restorative care for patients in Lewiston, Clarkston and the surrounding communities. Our office sits on 16th Avenue in Clarkston, a short drive across the Snake River from Lewiston, and our team is led by Dr. Joe Schmidt, DDS, a Lewiston native who has chosen to build his career caring for the valley he grew up in.
Most valley families want one dental office that can see everyone, from a child's first checkup to a grandparent's crown. Canyon Dental is built for that. We see patients of all ages and keep each family's records, X-rays and treatment history in one place, which makes it easy to coordinate back-to-back appointments for parents and kids.
Because we handle many procedures that general offices often refer out, fewer patients need a second provider or a trip out of the valley.
All ServicesDr. Joseph P. Schmidt was born and raised in Lewiston. He earned his bachelor's degree in biology at Lewis-Clark State College, then completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha, Nebraska. He returned home to care for the community where he grew up.
Dr. Schmidt is a member of the American Dental Association, the Idaho State Dental Association and the Oregon Dental Association. He is committed to ongoing continuing education so patients benefit from current techniques and technology. Outside the office you may find him skiing, mountain biking or fly fishing on the rivers that define our valley.
Meet Our Doctors
Canyon Dental welcomes patients from across the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley and nearby towns. Whether you live near Lewis-Clark State College, work at the port or commute from the Clearwater River corridor, our dental office in the Lewis-Clark Valley is an easy stop.
Consider a family that just moved to the Lewiston Orchards for a job at the hospital. They need a dentist for two adults and two kids, and one parent has a cracked molar that has been bothering them for weeks. At Canyon Dental, the whole family can book a new patient visit, and the parent with the cracked tooth gets a focused exam and digital X-rays the same day.
Dr. Schmidt explains the options, whether that is a crown or another fix, and the kids get cleanings and sealant checks while the family is already in the office.
