Dr. Hansen is active in many dental organizations including the American Dental Association (ADA), the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS), and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). In order to provide his patients with the most comprehensive and advanced dental care, Dr. Hansen devotes many hours each year to continuing education in all facets of contemporary dentistry.
He is a graduate of the prestigious Kois Center, an advanced learning center for dentists founded and directed by Dr. John Kois, one of the foremost dental educators in the world. This has enabled Dr. Hansen to understand patients risks and susceptibilities to certain dental diseases such as tooth decay, gum disease and bite problems which lead to broken, worn and missing teeth and a loss of function. Rather than just fixing the apparent problems, Dr. Hansens focus is to treat and manage each patient based on his or her individual risks and providing the most predictable and practical methods of treatment to address the patients problem; whether it be pain, loss of function, or an unacceptable / unattractive smile.
Dr. Hansens greatest professional satisfaction comes from helping patients and their families with their dental needs and making them feel like part of the Austin Creek Dental Family. Patients that just need routine care or to those patients that have suffered many years with crooked, disfigured, or missing teeth. In many cases, these people are afraid to even smile and often times, creating a beautiful, new smile literally changes their life. Dr. Hansen will always give you an honest assessment of the condition in your mouth and try hard to make you feel at home.
Dr. Cynthia McKim practices in beautiful Idaho, focusing on cosmetic and restorative dentistry. She received her Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Kentucky, College of Dentistry in 1989 and practiced overseas for six years, providing care for multiple expatriate nationalities.

I was referred to them by my sister's friend who used to work there. They were everything she said. Very thorough. Offered things other dentists said wasn't possible. The dental hygienist did a very good job! 5 Star Service!

I came here to get a second opinion in regards to a root cleaning that I supposedly needed according to a previous hygienist. I felt like they were just trying to sell me something that i didn't need, so I came to Austin Creek Dental. It turns out my roots were fine! More than that though, my teeth have never felt cleaner. I am SO happy with Austin Creek!

Great staff! Efficient and still able to be warm and friendly! Having my teeth cleaned always makes me nervous, I've got a few sensitive areas. They have marked those on my chart and are mindful of those spots. So appreciated! Thanks Austin Creek Dental!

My dentist retired during the pandemic and i was forced to seek out a new Dentis . I found Austin Creek Dental to be very welcoming. The dental assistant was amazing and put me at ease right away . She was a absolute delight . Dr. McKim was very reassuring and gentle and often checked that I was comfortable.

I have been a patient here for many years and have always had a great experience. I was worked into the schedule within 24 hours after my crown fell out. Everyone was kind and professional, working well together. I highly recommend this office!

Service was great. I called and they took me right away. The dentist fixed my tooth at the same time. No pain, no numbness later, and the new filling works just fine. I definitely will go to them in the future for any future services!
