If the thought of your next dental visit fills you with anxiety, you’re in good company. Fear of pain, negative past experience or simply feeling out of control in the chair are all common concerns. In fact, nearly 73% of adults in the United States report some dental fear, with nearly 30% admitting to extreme fear.
At Boise Family Dental Care, we recognize that dental anxiety is both real and common. Our mission is to help you feel comfortable, understood and empowered from the moment you call us to the moment you leave smiling. We want to change your view of dentistry, transforming a source of dread into a place of comfort and confidence.

Our core philosophy is simple. We are known for quality, chosen for care. This philosophy means that we treat every patient as a partner in their oral health. Our process always begins with careful listening. We take the time to truly understand your needs and concerns. By focusing on open, honest communication, we build lasting trust and ensure you feel supported and comfortable at every stage of your dental journey.
Dr. Steven Crump has been in the industry since 2006 and in the Treasure Valley for over 15 years. In that time, he has built our practice around providing the best professional experience our patients have ever had, starting from your first phone call to your 40th visit 10 years later. We have had patients who start as terrified to even step foot into the door, become patients who can’t wait to come back to the office and can’t stop talking about their smiles.
Our commitment to excellence has earned Boise Family Dental Care recognition as a Top Dentist in the Treasure Valley, as well as active membership in respected organizations, including the American Dental Association and the Idaho State Dental Association. Dr. Crump and our team regularly complete advanced training and continuing education to stay current with the latest dental innovations, ensuring our patients always receive the highest standard of care.
If a trip to the dentist makes you feel nervous, you’re far from alone. Dental anxiety affects people from all walks of life, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Unfortunately, these feelings can lead to postponing or avoiding routine checkups. In fact, around 15% of adults admit that dental anxiety causes them to avoid regular dental care. However, this avoidance cycle sometimes means small issues develop into larger problems, requiring more extensive and anxiety-provoking treatment in the future.
Boise Family Dental Care breaks that cycle. We see you, and we understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help. Our team is trained in advanced dental techniques and in compassionate communication and anxiety management so you feel heard, informed and confident every step of the way.
Every component of our office and every member of our team is focused on making you feel comfortable. With us, you can always expect:
We know it takes courage to share your concerns, especially if you’re embarrassed by past neglect or dental challenges. That’s why we start with an honest, open conversation. Tell us about your fears, your past experiences and your goals. We’ll explain your options in plain language and answer every question, so you’re never alone in the dark.
For those who need extra help relaxing, we’re proud to offer sedation dentistry, which is a proven way for anxious patients to feel calm and comfortable during necessary procedures. We tailor every aspect of care to your preferences and needs, whether it’s gentle numbing techniques or modern sedation options.
We believe that modern dentistry should be as comfortable and efficient as possible. That’s why Boise Family Dental Care invests in state-of-the-art technology to ensure every appointment is effective and stress-free for you. Tools like 3D digital X-rays and cone beam CT scans provide detailed images with minimal radiation and are designed to keep you informed and at ease. Our office also offers laser cavity detection and soft-tissue treatments, as well as same-day CEREC crowns for faster, durable restorations with fewer visits.
The well-being of our patients is at the heart of everything we do, and that dedication is reflected in the exceptional feedback we receive every day. Here’s just a small sample of the meaningful comments our patients have shared:

All the hygienists are friendly and genuinely care about making your experience comfortable. Dr. Crump and Dr. Edminsten do such a great job at making their patients comfortable.
