Our team is comprised of passionate and talented individuals, dedicated to dental health and providing an excellent standard of care. We hope our enthusiasm shines through to you, our patient. Our days fly by while we are at the office interacting with our patients

We stand by Dr. Mortensen and his ability to provide both outstanding and educational dental care. Knowing we can trust him to provide the best care possible to our patients is by far the greatest gift we receive as Smiles on State Street Staff. He has a true talent for dentistry and his caring, patient approach to dentistry is unsurpassed.

After growing up in Nampa, Dr. Mortensen attended Ricks College/BYU-Idaho, spent two years on a church mission in Argentina, and received his Bachelors Degree in Nutritional Science at BYU in Utah. This is one dentist who knows how diet affects your teeth! After earning his Doctorate of Dental Medicine at the University of Louisville in Kentucky, Dr. Mortensen and his wife returned home to the Treasure Valley to be close to their families.

He views his role in oral healthcare as an educator, helping patients make educated decisions about their treatment. His easy-going attitude helps patients feel comfortable in his chair right away. That attitude also allows him to enjoy all the things Idaho has to offer, including camping, swimming, water skiing, and watching or playing most any sport.

People may be surprised to know that Dr. Mortensen has driven from the Pacific to Atlantic coast. Each time he drives into a new state, he stops the car and takes a photo of the state border sign. He hopes to one day have a picture collection of every state welcoming him to that state.
