Quick Summary: The blocks around the Rexburg Idaho Temple are full of student housing, young couples, and renters on the move. We are about five minutes away, with missionary dental exams, evening hours, and payment plans that fit a student budget.

A Dentist for Temple-Area Student Life

The neighborhoods around the Temple and the BYU-Idaho campus run on a different clock. Semesters start and end. Leases turn over. Missionaries prepare to leave. A dentist in this part of Rexburg has to move at that speed.

We built our care around that rhythm. Family First Dental sits about five minutes away on Moody Road. New patient exams get you established fast, with no long history needed.

Missionary dental exams are a regular part of our week. Before you leave to serve, we check for anything that could become a problem while you are away, and we complete the exam paperwork.

Budgets, Screens, and Straight Answers

Money is tight for a lot of people living near campus. So we keep things clear. We accept most major dental plans, including Delta Dental, MetLife, Blue Cross, Guardian, GEHA, United Healthcare, and Principal. Payment plans through Cherry and WellCredit spread costs into simple monthly amounts.

You also see everything. AI-assisted X-rays and cone beam scans come up on a screen next to your chair. If we find a cavity, tooth-colored fillings blend right in, and most are done in a single visit.

Stress shows up in teeth too. Finals-season clenching and grinding wear enamel down fast, and a custom night guard protects it while you sleep. Professional teeth whitening is another favorite here, and for active patients it is free for life. Keep up your cleanings and it stays yours.

Call (208) 400-9946.

Getting Here from the Temple Area

The Rexburg Idaho Temple sits on South 2nd East, right beside the BYU-Idaho campus and near the meetinghouses of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It has stood on that hillside since its dedication in 2008, visible for miles along the US-20 corridor.

Our office is a short drive south at 286 E Moody Rd, Suite F. Plan on about five minutes by car, with parking right outside the door.

Roommates and couples often book back to back, so one trip covers the whole apartment. Mention it when you call and we will block the time together.

Evening and Saturday hours make the trip easier to fit. Tuesday and Thursday run until 7 PM. Saturday runs 8 AM to 1 PM. No skipping class or leaving a shift early for a cleaning.

New in Town? Getting Established Is Easy

Most of our Temple-area patients are new to Rexburg, and plenty are booking their first dental visit without a parent in the room. That is fine. We walk you through every step ourselves, in plain language, with your own images on the screen.

A first visit covers digital X-rays, an exam of every tooth and your gums, and an oral cancer screening. A free wellness scan is part of the deal too. If something needs attention, you will see it and understand it before you decide anything.

And when you move on after graduation or a mission call, we will send your records wherever you land. No hassle, no guilt trip. That is part of serving a neighborhood that is always in motion.

One more scheduling trick worth knowing. Friday hours start at 7 AM, which means an exam or cleaning can be done before a 9 AM class or an opening shift. Between early Fridays, two late evenings, and Saturday mornings, there is almost always a window that fits.

Booking online takes about a minute, and new patient forms can be filled out from your phone before you come in. Less time on a clipboard, more time between classes.
