Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s recommended that your child visits the dentist by age 1 or within 6 months of getting their first tooth. If you notice discomfort or concerns, it’s never too late to schedule their first visit.

Baby teeth are crucial for proper oral development. They help with speaking, smiling, and chewing. Dental pain—even mild—can affect your child’s eating habits and confidence. Keeping baby teeth healthy supports long-term oral health.

The first visit typically lasts about one hour, depending on your child’s needs and cooperation.

We recommend a checkup and cleaning every 6 months for children, just like adults. If your child experiences tooth pain, discomfort, or avoids certain foods, schedule an appointment sooner.

Cavities are caused by bacteria and plaque buildup, worsened by sugary or acidic foods. They can happen in both baby and adult teeth and may cause sensitivity or pain. Early treatment prevents further damage and infection.

Your gums are a vital part of your oral health. Swollen or bleeding gums can indicate a more serious issue that affects the health of your teeth and overall mouth. Keep your gums healthy to prevent long-term oral problems.

We understand family schedules can be hectic! We’re happy to accommodate multiple appointments at once for your convenience. Call us to arrange family appointments side by side.

Today I visited Riverbend for the first time to decide if this would be my new dentist since I just moved to BOISE. The gal at the front, Jen, was Welcoming. Sarah, the assistant was thorough and kind. The dentist, Dr. Eames seemed to care about me and my dental health right away. This will be my new dentist! Very happy.

i have never been a fan of the dentist. i had braces and oral surgery at a young age and spent a lot of my childhood in a dental chair. as an adult, going to the dentist terrifies me. but these guys don't. i can speak up, i can ask questions, and i genuinely believe they have my best interest in mind and aren't simply trying to pinch my wallet. if you have a fear of the dentist, this is a great place to go for genuine care.
