Fantastic experience: Greatest Dental Clinic in Boise. Dr. Hyder is conservative but cautious and doesn't "recommend" unnecessary treatment. The front office staff and office manager are super awesome. It's been a great experience moving to Lifesmiles.

Fantastic experience: This place is everything I've been looking for and more. Incredibly friendly staff and doctors. Do you have a fear of getting cavities filled?

Cheryl G 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient at LifeSmiles for many years. Today at my appointment, Jill identified a potential problem. Because of her knowledge and thoroughness while cleaning my teeth, Dr. Garpetti has scheduled a follow-up appointment. Because my problem was found early-on, Dr. Garpetti is hopeful that with follow-up treatments, I will not lose any more teeth. I have battled periodontal disease for many years. I highly recommend everyone at LifeSmiles Dental.

Susanne Gehrke 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: I experienced the highest level of professionalism and client care, and felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. Best dental office experience I have ever had!

Kaye Knight 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a patient and friend of Dr. Garpetti and staff for approximately 25+ years and wouldn't think of switching. The service and expertise is consistent, top-notch, and focused on prevention. I also began dental care with Dr. Garpetti for my granddaughter at the age of 3 and he is amazing with children; she trusted him immediately, along with her grandmother!! I also want to relate an experience I had during one of my visits....while waiting in an exam room, I overheard an exchange between Dr. Garpetti and an older child with autism who was presenting a challenge and I was blown away by how good Dr. Garpetti was with him and how he was able to gain the child's confidence to allow treatment. In summary, I can't rave enough about LifeSmiles and their total care from the front office to the dental hygienists to Dr. Garpetti.

Lonny Miesner 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have used 4 different Dentist's over the past 12-15 years and am very pleased to have found one that is as thorough as Dr. Garpetti is. He is the first to address some of things I've been experiencing over the years that other Dentists would not offer thoughts or suggestions for. I was equally impressed with the many other services that LIFESmiles offer and look forward to discussing them more in depth with Dr. Garpetti in the future.. Customer service is very important to me and I felt very good after my consolation meeting with Dr. Garpetti.

Aaron Miner 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have been with this Dentist officer for almost 20 years. Literally through a generation of my family. They are thorough, efficient, kind, and are ahead of the competition with their equipment and procedures! The best thing they have adopted use of was their laser for cavity removals! If you dont love this office and the staff find me and slap me! Or slap yourself now for not giving them an opportunity at saving and maintaining your mouth!

D Z 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: What a great experience! After moving to Boise (no, not from CA!) we were looking for a new dentist and after our first visit to LIFESmiles we know that our search is over. Everybody there is very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Fast forward a few years… We will be moving to a different state again and one of the big questions we will need to answer at our new place is whether they have a dentist who’s as knowledgeable and professional as Dr G from LifeSmiles. The bar is set very high now and I just know that it will not be easy (if not impossible) to match that.

Jim Heiberg 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Garpetti is awesome! I have been going to him for many years and he has gone out of his way a few times to help my wife and me with Dental issues over the years. My visit yesterday he was very interesting, I have been bad about my teeth care recently and was shown via camera the inflammation around my gums. Quite an eye opener!

The staff treats you like a member of the family and I never feel pressured to purchase services. I always understand the costs ahead of time and he reason the doctor recommends it. If you’re looking for a dentistry firm you can bring the whole family for life this is it!

Fantastic experience: Let's start with checkin. The ladies at the front desk always greet me cheerfully and call me by my name. Today, when I asked the one who greeted me if she needed my new insurance card, she said she already looked up the updates, so it wouldn't be necessary. (Nice!) Hygienist Ralynn is always pleasant and empathetic and takes great care of my teeth. Dr. G himself is not only a skilled dentist, but his bedside manner and overall people skills are exemplary. He explains things well and lays out options for the patient's consideration. He's just plain likeable. Lifesmiles is a great practice and a wonderful asset for my dental as well as my overall healthcare.

Fantastic experience: Dr Garpetti and staff are incredible. From the moment you walk through the front door, you are welcomed with a smile with prompt and professional greeting, swift checkin and offered refreshment. Your hygienist then briefs you on everything to expect and gives a nice tour of the facility and takes you to the cleaning area where your teeth are professionally and very thoroughly cleaned. Dr Garpetti then thoroughly examines your mouth, teeth gums, jaws, tongue, neck and throat. All of the above with zero pain. Thank you Dr Garpetti and staff for your thoughtful and professional care.

Kevin D. 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My family has been seeing Dr. Garpetti & his staff for 20 years or so, probably longer! That tells you all you really need to know but I will weigh in. His staff is seriously second to none, Dr. Garpetti is easy to get into & is ALWAYS available to hs patients in emergency situations! He seems to always be up on the latest technology & techniques but from what I’ve seen, he doesn't keep using the technology if it doesn’t work the way he believes it should or the way he wants it to perform! Besides all that, he’s a great guy!

Megan Nicola 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: If you’re searching for a reliable, compassionate, and highly skilled dental office, I wholeheartedly recommend LifeSmiles. The entire team clearly prioritizes patient care, and it shows—it’s not just about dental work; it’s about creating a positive experience for everyone that walks through their doors. Thank you, Dr. Garpetti and team, for making dentistry a delightful experience!

Amanda Watson 1 year ago

Negative experience: I received Invisalign treatment from Dr. Garpetti in 2021. The experience was definitely a mixed bag. Dr. Garpetti did go out of his way to help me get a device that would speed up treatment and I felt like his level of service was decent and he is a friendly guy. However, I would strongly caution against using LifeSmiles Dental for any of your ongoing dental hygiene or Invisalign needs. After what I would classify as downright abusive behavior from one of the hygienists (who I actually had to ask one day if I had done something to offend her because she was so rude to me), my relationship with this office became pretty adversarial. Since you can’t really change providers mid-treatment, I was stuck going to this office that was regularly rude to me and I back to them in response. In 2023 (more than two years after treatment), I emailed and asked if I could order new retainers. I spoke on the phone to Dr. Garpetti and he told me he would check to see if the vendor would allow me to order without having to come back in for molds. I never heard back from the office and I figured someone dropped the ball, and I didn’t pursue finding retainers elsewhere. Then, many months later, I got a collections notice in the mail – which is insane and the first time in my life someone has reported me to collections. I never received an email or a letter with any form of invoice, ever. Through this infuriating experience, I learned that LifeSmiles had evidently placed the order without notifying me and invoiced me at an address that I had moved out of several years earlier. When those invoices were returned they didn’t bother to email me (they had my email as I have corresponded with them via email before) or find my new address and instead reported me to collections. Between that experience and having to have a tooth that Dr. Garpetti shaved down bonded at the end of my treatment because he removed too much tooth, I think folks would be better off seeking dentist services and Invisalign treatment elsewhere. Update: I don't really think Google reviews are a place to have a drag-out argument with a client -- but to be very clear, I had every intention of paying for and still wanted the retainers. I am not blameless in this, certainly, but hopefully this defensive position and response from their team is helpful for those in search of dental care if you're not looking for a mess. I called and spoke politely with a receptionist once I got the collections notice and said because so much time had passed, I asked to see documentation that I placed the order while deciding whether I was going to dispute the collections notice. Then LifeSmiles stopped corresponding with me and instead I got to be literally yelled at by a debt collector -- which escalated the situation unnecessarily. And, yes, the staff member I mistakenly called a hygienist was absolutely a member of the LifeSmiles team, and therefore my claim is not "invalid." Sheesh. I recommend Summit Dental in Boise -- Dr. Studebaker and his staff are thorough, friendly and critically, don't treat their patients like trash.

Amanda, I understand that you are upset about the referral of your account to collections but you are conveniently ignoring the facts of the situation. Our practice phone system records all phone interactions to insure the quality of patient care and communications. We have multiple recorded phone conversations between you and our staff regarding your request and approval. These recordings include your initial call to request new retainers. We have another recorded call that was a follow up conversation where the cost of retainers was discussed. In this call you asked that we order the retainers for you. The retainers were delivered to our practice shortly after you requested them and our office staff made several attempts to contact you. Text messages and voice mails were left on your mobile number. We never received a single response from you. Months later we sent a letter to you via US mail that your account would be sent to collections if we did not hear back from you. After no response you gave us no choice but to refer your account to the collections agency. You also stated in your review that you had a bad experience with our hygienist. However, you never had a dental hygiene appointment in our practice so your complaint is not valid. We only completed your invisalign treatment for you. We strive to provide kind, quality dental healthcare for each and every one of our patients with no exceptions and I feel that we did just that for you. We wish you well. Dr. Dennis Garpetti

Fantastic experience: Dr. Garpetti and his staff are knowledgeable, empathetic and friendly. I was a bit nervous as a new patient with an extensive and complex dental history. That quickly subsided after meeting Dr. Garpetti and Raelynne. From the front desk to the exam, I received great care and I look forward to my future visits.

Fantastic experience: Easily the best dentist office I have ever been to. I have a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist and this was the first time I had a good experience with one. Everyone who works here is so kind and accommodating. They take the time to get to know you, make your experience personalized to your needs, and explain what they’re doing and why. Dr. Garpetti was extremely thorough in his exam and explanations, and he and my hygienist both made me feel very comfortable. I can’t recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr. Garpetti for over 10 years and love him as a dentist and appreciate him as a person. His staff is kind, friendly, and very professional. It is alway a pleasure to call or walk into this office (which is saying a lot for a dentist). At LIFE smiles they invest in technologies; not only high end air purifiers, but my last filling was done Novocain free and only took 10 minutes. I greatly appreciate and trust my dentist, and like him bunches.

Fantastic experience: After about a year now of testing out this practice with my own dental needs, I feel like I can trust my elderly parent’s dental health with this practice. Dr. Garpetti has been very good to work with as we together assess, plan, and gently bring my parent’s poor dental health into a much healthier and more comfortable state during their later years of life. Focusing on their health priorities 1st is a great approach I feel I can trust.

Fantastic experience: Today I had my appointment with Dr Garpetti for my cleaning. I have been coming here for about 15 years. The staff is amazing and always so friendly and thoughtful. Office is always so clean and they are so timely in seeing you at your appointment time. Today I met Dr Hyder as Dr Garpetti wasn’t available. He was very personable and I know from talking to Dr Garpetti that he does excellent work too! I recommend them to anyone I meet looking for a great dental office!
