I have been in dentistry for over 27 years. After graduating from Boise State University I started as a certified dental assistant and worked in the clinical area for over 20 years. Patient care has always been a passion and as the office manager I enjoy the many diverse challenges I encounter. I love dentistry and working with our patients to help them in achieving all of their dental goals.

I am happily married to my best friend and together we share four children. We just welcomed our seventh grandchild. Besides spending time with my family, I enjoy golf, hot yoga, reading, Boise State football, and I just taught myself how to knit.

I graduated from a Dental Assisting program in California. It has been over ten years and I love helping people Improve their dental health. I have worked with Dr. Bauter for over 5 years. In that time I have become an E4D Specialist, which allows our office to make same day crowns and onlays. I am passionate about expanding my professional knowledge and keeping up with dental technology.

I moved to the United States from Ukraine in 2001. I speak Russian and Ukrainian fluently. I am happily married and my husband and I have 3 beautiful daughters! When I am not making crowns I am with my girls. We love to dance, sing and learn to play the piano together. I also enjoy cooking new recipes and traveling.

I have been a Dental Hygienist for more than 12 years. More than eleven of those years have been spent in this office! I am an Idaho native. I graduated from Centennial High school and then attended Apollo College to study Dental Hygiene. I am married to Vaughn and we have a beautiful daughter, Scarlett. We have a ranch in Eastern Oregon and spend a lot of our weekends there working on the land and taking care of the cows, horses, sheep, pigs and chickens. I also love anything crafty and creative. Recently, I love photography and try to do as much of it as I can.

This office is my home away from home. I love coming to work and being able to see the beautiful Loggers Creek out the window. I enjoy helping patients feel pampered and they enjoy having their teeth cleaned. I feel blessed to work with my great team and to know so many wonderful patients who have become friends over the years.

I have the privilege of working in both the Boise and Eagle dental offices. I have been part of Dr. Bauter's team since 2016. I graduated from Chemeketa Community College in 1996, and was a dental assistant in Oregon for many years before taking a break to be with my young children. I am happy to be back in the dental field. It's wonderful to work in a practice where the doctors and staff are focused on each patient as an individual.

My highschool sweetheart and I have been married over 20 years. We have four beautiful children. They keep us busy in the best possible ways. My favorite thing about living in Idaho is having all four seasons. Outside of work I love date nights, baking, traveling and spending time with my family.

I have been a dental hygienist since 2005 after graduating from Idaho State University. I love working in the dental field and was excited to become a part of Dr. Bauter's team in October of 2016. I enjoy interacting with patients and having the opportunity to help them improve and maintain their oral health, leading to their increased overall wellness. Some of my interests outside of work include skiing, hiking, camping, biking, concerts, sports, running, spending time with family, reading and traveling. There aren't many things I don't enjoy or won't try… maybe I'll see you on the slopes!

My family moved to the United States when I was 12 years old from the Ukraine. I graduated from Carrington College in 2012 as a Dental Hygienist. I began working for Dr. Bauter in July 2017. It has been such a blessing to be part of such an amazing professional, caring team. Being a dental hygienist fulfills my desire to educate patients, see first hand how a smile can impact lives for better and develop meaningful relationships. My wonderful husband and I have two sons. In my spare time, I enjoy freelancing as a makeup artist, and love spending time with my family outdoors.

I was born in Boise, Idaho and have lived here all my life. In 2011 I graduated from Idaho State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Dental Hygiene. My full-time job is being a mom to my three children.

When not working I can often be found at the lake in the summer or on the slopes in the winter. I enjoy the opportunity to work in Dr. Bauter's office and the many great people I meet that come through its doors.

I have been a Registered Dental Assistant for over 20 years. By chance, I started to work for Dr. Bauter in a temporary capacity after retiring from dentistry three years ago. However, I enjoyed working with Dr. Bauter and his team so much that I decided to work here full time when the position presented itself. I am passionate about patient care and truly enjoy building personal relationships with my patients. I enjoy making sure our patients receive quality care, service, and attention. One of the most rewarding aspects of dentistry is seeing how changing a patient's smile can transform their lives.

In my free time I enjoy oil painting, reading, gardening, and spending time with my family. I am married with two grown children, four grandsons, two dogs and two cats.

From toddlers to the elderly, our skilled dental team is familiar with the unique needs of every patient, no matter their age. Our goal is to help them develop great oral habits that will last them a lifetime.

Protect and keep badly decayed or fractured teeth while maintaining a beautiful smile. Made to perfectly match the shape and shade of your other teeth, they’re durable, strong, and undetectable.

Crowns should be placed before the tooth is so decayed that it may fracture. This can often help prevent the expense of root canal therapy in the future. If a tooth is too damaged to have a crown applied, a porcelain bridge may be a good alternative.

Root canal therapy is an excellent way to save a tooth that would otherwise die and need to be removed. All teeth that have had root canal therapy must be protected with a crown. This is because teeth that have had the pulp removed are more susceptible to fracture.

The common silver filling contains mercury. Dr. Bauter uses the highest-quality biocompatible, tooth-colored restorations to create healthy, beautiful smiles.​ Since the composite material adheres directly to the tooth enamel, less preparation of the tooth is required before using it. This means it is more durable and provides a more natural-looking result.

Many everyday things like coffee, tea and wine can significantly dull teeth. Smile-whitening enables us to significantly brighten your smile for that dazzling white smile you deserve.

Plastic whitening trays will be made from models of your teeth. You will then place a special whitening gel in each tray and wear the trays in your mouth for several hours per day. (Many patients wear their trays after dinner and before bed.) A significant change in tooth color is usually seen in just four to six weeks.

Veneers are very thin porcelain pieces that are custom made to adhere directly to the front of teeth without grinding or shaving. Transform your smile without drilling on your natural teeth!

In the hands of a highly skilled dentist, porcelain laminates can provide you with an incredibly natural, beautiful smile. They are virtually undetectable and can dramatically improve your appearance. They are durable and long-lasting when compared to other cosmetic treatments.

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the airway completely collapses, blocking airflow into the lungs. The harder one tries to breathe, the tighter the airway seals. This airway obstruction persists until the brain partially awakens the person, unconsciously closing the jaw and returning the tongue and throat to a normal position.

We offer effective, nonsurgical relief from sleep apnea and other sleep-related disorders — including snoring. Ask us how you can get the restful, healthy sleep you’ve been missing.

Our use of digital x-ray technology reduces your radiation exposure and eliminates the use of chemicals. It’s better for you and the environment.

It's also easy for you to see what the doctor sees. Your digital x-ray can be seen on a computer screen located next to your dental chair. This helps you understand your needs and make informed choices about your treatment.

Gum disease is treated by carefully removing the bacteria and substances that form in the pockets around the teeth. The removal of this material occurs on a microscopic level and requires great skill. Our dental team has had advanced training to effectively remove all of the bacteria.
