Ignoring It Won’t Make It Go Away

Are you a busy Boise resident suffering with a toothache, but ignoring the pain? Have you started chewing on one side of your mouth to avoid your sensitive teeth? Have you stopped drinking hot and cold beverages to alleviate the discomfort? Dental pain is like an unpaid speeding ticket, ignoring it won’t make it go away.

Many Idaho adults and children dread seeking relief from a dentist because they fear the treatment will hurt worse than the pain they are experiencing. Waiting too long to care for your teeth can cause serious health problems–and not just in your mouth.

If you have dental anxiety, Blaisdell Family Dentistry offers several solutions including sedation dentistry. We can also use anti-anxiety agents to quiet your fears and make your dental visit as safe and comfortable as possible.

In addition to sedation dentistry, Blaisdell Family Dentistry offers cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening, and oral cancer screenings for Boise residents.

Your smile can and should be your most attractive feature. Don’t let dental distress keep you from gaining and maintaining a dazzling smile.

"My whole family has been going to Dr. Craig Blaisdell for 16 years now. The whole staff is simply amazing. From the beginning to the end, the whole experience is wonderful. I would highly recommend Blaisdell Family Dentistry to anyone looking for a new dental care practice."

Savannah S.

"The reconstruction work I had performed at Blaisdell Dentistry was absolutely amazing. Dr. Blaisdell (Dr. “B”) took the time to explain all facets of what would occur. In just over a year, I now have a beautiful smile and can enjoy laughing again without feeling self-conscience about my teeth. The entire staff, at Blaisdell Dentistry, made me feel like I was a part of their family and truly cared about any discomfort or fears I have. I myself am an extreme needle chicken and they totally put me at ease during all procedures. Thank you to the entire team at Blaisdell Family Dentistry!"

Genie E.

"I am a denture wearer, my wife kept telling me how much she did not like the way my teeth looked, they were too little, too yellow. They also didn't fit. Going to Blaisdell's made my wife happy and me happy, you know happy wife, happy life! They made it easier to chew with implants and I have to admit they look really natural. I smile more and so does she because after all she is the one who looks at me the most."

Jeri R.

"My entire experience at Dr. L. Blaisdell’s office was like no other dentist office I have had. The entire staff is personable, professional and fun. I was in an accident and Dr. Blaisdell had to do some extensive work on my mouth. He gave me options not orders on treatment. He gave wise counsel and compassion. I knew ahead of time what the treatment would be and the cost—no surprises. I highly recommend Dr. L. Blaisdell as a stellar Dr. as well as his wonderful staff."

Debbie B.

"I've been to several dentists in the Boise/Meridian area. This family owned office is heads above all the others I've visited. They are scrupulous about running on time. The staff is caring, friendly and very supportive. The doctors are so careful with their treatment and genuinely care about their patients. I never worry about a visit there. They always make sure I receive great healthcare and have a positive experience."

Cindy C.

"The staff at Dr. Blaisdell’s office has one goal in mind. Making their patient comfortable and at ease while their dental work is completed. From the front office to the dental chair, your experience will be filled with pleasant and professional people working together. I know, I had extensive dental work that encompassed an entire year. Choosing Dr. Blaisdell for my dentist, and the good people that work with him, was one of the best decisions I’ve made."

Val H.

"They have phenomenal staff that take the time to listen to what you want, and meet all of your dental needs. It’s a lovey office full of wonderful people that treat your smile as if it were their own. I had 6 veneers done on my front teeth and couldn’t possibly imagine my smile turning out this amazing. The hygienists, assistants, office staff, dentists and lab crew gave me the gift of a lifetime.. I finally feel proud to smile! I’d give them 6 stars if I could. If your looking for pristine dental care in an amazing, family oriented work environment, this is the place to be."

Savannah A.

"Dr. Blaisdales Dental Office is my choice for all my dental needs. I am impressed to see the time and education Dr. Blaisdale invests to stay ahead of all the new procedures and methods in dentistry. His expertise gives me confidence that I am getting leading-edge dental care. There is always friendly and talented staff there to make my dental care fast, efficient, and effective. I love my smile."

Leroy P.

“I have been seeing Dr. Blaisdell and his staff for about 20 years. I can say without hesitation, that the dental care I have received has been of the highest quality. I know that continuing education for he and his staff is a very high priority, as well as using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques. I am confident that I receive the best dental care available.”

"Our entire family have been getting our dental care here for years. We wouldn’t go any other place! They are very personal. They always call us by name and take the time to get to know each of us. Our hygienist Sandra is the absolute best!!"

Shan B.

"I had to get an emergency wisdom tooth extraction due to a very bad infection that randomly started. Dr. Lynn Blaisdell And his son Craig (along with the amazing front staff of course) made this MUCH easier than it could’ve been. Quick, responsive, and they really do care about your well being after you’ve been helped. I will be recommending this office to anyone in need of dental work. 10/10 guys. THANK YOU!"

Mason L.

"Really excellent experience with Blaisdell. They are quick, friendly and professional in their service and care. Our whole family has had a wonderful experience with them, and we look forward to many years of continued excellent dental care!"

Stephen S.

“Our family couldn’t be happier with Dr. Craig and his staff. Dr. Craig is a caring, personable and thorough professional – he has even called us personally the evening after having a corrective dental procedure to check on our well-being. His staff is always friendly and have gone out of their way to take care of my family’s dental needs. As someone who suffers from ‘dentist-induced anxiety,’ I highly recommend Dr. Craig Blaisdell.”

Tara E.

"Dr. Craig and Katie have been wonderful. We have been going to them our whole lives, and we have never had a bad experience. Love the debates on how to cook Thanksgiving stuffing. Also, when getting a shot, hold up your leg, it really works."

Brady & Casey R. (age 12 & 14)

"My family has been seeing the Blaisdell family for as long as I can remember! We have nothing but wonderful things to say about their attention to detail and dedication to their practice. The reception service can’t be beat - I always call last minute and they somehow seem to fit me in every time. Best Dental office in the Boise area!!"

Edith A.

“There are very few things more important to me than the health and overall quality of my teeth. This is why I have trusted Dr. Lynn and Dr. Craig Blaisdell, and their office staff. They have been able to correct previous dental work that was done years ago from another dentist. They were able to restore my teeth and smile. I recommend their office and excellent work to all my friends.”

Leroy P.

"My family and I have been long time clients of the Blaisdell Family Dentistry Team for at least 30 years. I have had at least 3-4 emergency situations and they treated each situation with the utmost care, promptness, compassion, and excellence. My teeth have been through H, E, DOUBLE TOOTHPICK and back Every issue has been fixed or repaired because of the excellent, professional, and state of the artwork performed by Dr. Blaisdell and his staff I have perfect choppers. Especially the staff members (Julie), (Tami) HELLO super friendly, courteous, kind and most of all professional."

Eric B.

"My family has always had great experiences at Blaisdell Family Dentistry. Dr. Craig is wonderful and caring. Both of my young children look forward to their visits. All of the hygienists that we have seen are excellent. Kim is thorough and gentle. My husband has superb care from Sandra. Highly recommend this practice for the whole family."

Michelle F.

"Dr Craig is great! He is very down to earth and easy to talk to. You can tell he genuinely is concerned about your needs. What brought me an has me coming back and switching my whole family over to his practice is that he explains all options available. His staff is terrific!! They are so kind and accommodating. I feel right at home when I am there. The Atmosphere is professional but yet laid back. Lots of humor and banter abounds. I would recommend this dental practice to anyone."
