Wine Country Family Dental in Pasco moved to its new home on Burden Boulevard in May. 

The 3,800-square-foot dental clinic’s modern architecture and open-floor design incorporates a rustic and industrial feel similar to many of the wineries and newer buildings around the Tri-Cities.

The clinic features exposed rustic beams throughout, with custom wine barrel sinks, wine barrel lights, suspended door soffits attached with metal industrial piping suspended from the ceiling and mounted TVs in each treatment room.

There are six treatment rooms, with room for future expansion to add three more. 

Other building features include quartz and stainless steel countertops, rustic wood tile and knotty alder doors.  

An automated lighting control system is used in the main spaces.

The exterior features a metal roof, stucco, metal and stone siding.

Building cost was $900,000 and the land was $335,000.

The clinic, at 6225 Burden Blvd., is across the street from the Road 68 soccer fields and Gesa Stadium.

Mark Schutte, owner of Wine Country Family Dental, grew up in the Columbia Basin and has been practicing dentistry since 2009 after graduating from the University of Washington School of Dentistry. 

After college, he practiced dentistry in the Navy for five years before moving back to the Columbia Basin and buying a practice in Pasco in 2014.  

Schutte also helps at Columbia Basin College’s dental hygiene program as a supervising dentist, and volunteers at Grace Clinic.

Wine Country Family Dental is equipped with the newest dental equipment to offer most dental services and procedures, from fillings, routine dental cleanings, periodontal therapy, extractions, other oral surgery services, crowns, dentures, cosmetic dentistry, tooth whitening, root canals, braces, temporomandibular disorder therapy, sleep apnea appliances and more.  

The clinic accepts new patients and same-day emergency walk-ins.  

For patients who have dental phobia or anxiety, the clinic offers oral sedation and nitrous oxide sedation services.  

Wine Country Family Dental accepts all major insurance plans and offers in-house payment plans.

Adam Swank, owner of Pasco’s Inspiration Home Builders, was the general contractor. 

Schutte designed the overall layout with completed/final drawings produced by Architect Anthony St. Martin of Sageland Design in Kennewick.
