At Boise Integrative Dentistry, we provide a unique perspective and philosophy toward dentistry and your overall health. Through extensive personal research and continuing education, our team of doctors has created a dental environment that encompasses wellness, treats the issues relating to oral health, and promotes balance for your whole body. Treatments in areas such as veneers, dental implants, pediatric dentistry, TMJ pain, sleep apnea, safe mercury removal, periodontology, and more, are all completed at the highest level with an integrative approach in mind. Partnering with other practitioners such as CranioSacral therapists, speech pathologists, functional medicine doctors, and myofunctional therapists plays an integral role in our treatment philosophy. By recognizing the connections between the mouth and body, our dentists can tailor your individual care to specifically address the underlying causes of dental disease, rather than just treating the symptoms.
I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry, but my passion over the years has veered towards using my unique experience in dentistry, surgery, and sedation to provide comfortable options for patients who otherwise would be fearful of dental treatment. My desire with every patient is to change the common perception and misconceptions about dentistry and create a patient experience which dissipates anxiety and thus promotes a personal investment and enthusiasm towards long term oral health. I have found that open communication, honesty, and the willingness to build a trusting relationship is the best way to begin on the journey towards optimal results.
I grew up in Twin Falls, Idaho and initially became involved in dentistry through dental assisting. This is where my passion for patient care was ignited. I decided to further my education in dentistry with an undergraduate degree at Idaho State University followed by my dental degree from University of Las Vegas, Nevada School of Dental Medicine, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude. I also received the Joel F. Glover General Dentistry Award which is given to one student in each graduating class for 'outstanding integrity, humility, promise of leadership, and proficiency in all aspects of general dentistry.' Subsequently, I completed a competitive residency program for Advanced Education in General Dentistry through ISU. There I received additional training in implant placement, endodontics, 3rd molar extractions, as well as licensing in conscious sedation. Since then, I have sought out and remained actively involved in several dental study clubs here in Boise through which I am continually learning in this evolving field.
I have spent the majority of my life in Idaho and many of my friends and family live in the Treasure Valley. Being a local, I have a strong commitment to this community and I value the relationships I create with my patients both in and out of the office. Aside from my practice, I also devote my time to my fellow female dentists in the community through the Women in Dentistry society that I helped establish here in Idaho. This group is a component of the Idaho State Dental Association and works to support female dentists in the Treasure Valley and throughout the state. Although the graduating female dentists across the country are now about fifty percent, Idaho still lags behind with only less than ten percent of practicing female dentists. Through this group, we are able to connect, support and collaborate with each other to navigate the unique issues and aspects of this career that we encounter in our professional and private lives. This has been a very rewarding experience and along with the other dental groups that I am also a part of, has been instrumental in expanding my knowledge and continually improving the level of care for my patients.

I want to start my review by saying that Dr. Ririe is amazing! Truly fantastic & we had a wonderful experience with him (my baby had a tongue tie that needed released). However, I cannot in good faith recommend Boise Integrative Dentistry. The procedure was over a year ago. I just received a bill for the full amount (well over a thousand dollars) saying if I don't pay it by the end of May it's going to collections. I asked why hasn't it been processed through insurance. They have repeatedly told me that they have submitted claims to my insurance and that they have been denied. However, I have confirmed twice directly with my insurance over the last year that baby was covered by both medical and dental insurance during the date of service and that their system shows no claims have been submitted. I spoke to Donna who was nice and said that she would look into it but that she would have the manager call me (which I requested bc this has been a mess for over a year). I was supposed to receive a phone call back from the Office Manager Colleen 3 days ago and haven't heard anything. At this point, I'm so frustrated. I can't do anything because they have to be the ones to submit the claims. I haven't heard from them in months so I assumed it was taken care of but to then suddenly get a bill saying it's going to collections when it hasn't even been properly processed through insurance just seems so inappropriate and grossly negligent of their responsibility to uphold their part of the patient/provider relationship. For these reasons, I just can't recommend them.

I arrived early and they started my appointment early. And the doctor answered all my questions after my teeth were cleaned.

I took my 6 month old daughter to see Dr. Ririe and Dr. Rosa for a consultation for a tongue and lip tie revision, and it was a wonderful experience. Dr. Ririe was very gentle with her, and made me feel very comfortable and didn't pressure me into feeling like I need to do anything right this second. When I decide to go through with the procedure, I will definitely be going back!

Dr Pothier is an excellent dentist. She helped me more definitively sort out a few issues that I had tried getting taken care of at other dental practices.
