Scott J. Shumway, DDS
Dr. Scott Shumway graduated from the University of Maryland Dental School in 2010 and entered directly into a residency for advanced training in oral and IV sedation dentistry, oral surgery, periodontics, endodontics, pediatric dentistry, and prosthodontics and restorative dentistry.
Following his residency, Dr. Shumway continued serving in the United States Air Force Dental Corps, where he received additional training, expanded his skills, and learned the latest techniques in dentistry. During this time he received several awards, including Clinical Dentist of the Year from Air Mobility Command. He’s very thankful for his time in the Air Force and the opportunity to care for the troops that serve our country.
When Dr. Shumway isn’t caring for patients, he spends as much time as possible with his wife, Lis, and their four children. They’re excited to raise their family in beautiful Spokane, Washington. They enjoy many outdoor activities and actively participate in church and community responsibilities. Dr. Scott enjoys golfing, fishing, hiking, camping, and many other outdoor activities in the area.
“I believe that a conservative and preventive approach to patient care ensures the best possible experience and outcomes for my patients. Comfortable dental care combined with the highest quality dental materials and techniques is crucial to my approach to care.”

My dental assisting career began in this office with the guidance from Dr. Shumway and his amazing team. It has been such a rewarding experience. The atmosphere here truly feels like family, and I’m honored to be a part of it as I navigate this amazing journey of becoming a mom.

Cheyenne

Since I started working for Dr. Shumway not only has he helped guide me towards my future career goals but so have each and every one of my coworkers. I could not have imagined being able to start off my career at any other office, as currently I am working here as a Dental/Hygiene Assistant with all hopes and goals to be one of the hygienists.
When I am not here in the office I am typically at school and or spending time with my loved ones while exploring the outdoors and traveling.
There is no other team that I would rather be a part of, here at Spokane Family Smiles we are a family and our patients are too.
Savannah
Dental Assistant
I have been a dental assistant for almost nine years. Over the years I’ve gained so much experience working alongside patients, assisting with procedures, and making sure everything runs smoothly in the office. I love being hands on and helping people feel comfortable during their visits. It’s truly rewarding to see the positive impact good dental care can have on someone’s life.
In addition to my work in dentistry, I also own a tattoo shop and I am a tattoo artist. Balancing both careers keeps me busy, but I am passionate about both and I am excited to continue growing in each. Whether I am in the dental office or the tattoo shop I am always striving to do my best.
