Veteran • Quarterback • Dental Nerd

Meet
Dr. Helen Harless

Dr. Harless is not afraid to get nerdy when it comes to dentistry … in fact, she welcomes it! She’s the type of person who spends her free time listening to over 1,000 hours of dental podcasts and will go over all of your options (including not getting any treatment at all) to make sure you’re fully aware of what’s available. She’s ready to be your own personal quarterback and lead you toward the most personalized and effective solution for your smile, even if it involves collaborating with other specialists. Thanks to her experience as both an Air Force veteran and a long-practicing dentist in Boise, she’s incredibly meticulous whether she’s performing a routine exam or providing a dramatic makeover.

How Can We Help You?

Most people think that you just go to the dentist to have your teeth checked and cleaned or get something fixed, but we can do so much more than that! Dr. Harless cannot only engineer your dental care to prioritize your values, but she can also realign your bite to make you feel more comfortable when chewing and speaking, improve the quality of your sleep, give you the smile you’ve always dreamed of, and much, much more.
