Jeff received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha Nebraska, on scholarship through the Idaho Dental Education Program. He graduated Summa Cum Laude. The faculty and administration at Creighton awarded him with the Academy of General Dentistry Award and the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology Award upon graduating, honoring his clinical skills. He was also elected to membership in the Dental Honor Society of Omicron Kappa Upsilon because of his academic and clinical achievements. He was one of 2 students in his graduating class to complete competency requirements in IV sedation.

Upon graduating in 2001, Dr. Ybarguen returned to Idaho Falls to practice. He is actively involved in his profession on all levels. He is a member of the Upper Snake River Dental Society, the Idaho State Dental Association, the American Dental Association, and the Academy of General Dentistry. He is a fellow in the Pierre Fauchard Academy, an international honorary dental organization that seeks to recognize and grow leaders in the dental profession, their communities, and society. He has served in various leadership positions within organized dentistry, including President of the Upper Snake River Dental Society, Board of Trustee member of the Idaho State Dental Association, and Vice President of the Idaho State Dental Association.

Education is very important to Dr. Ybarguen. He has been actively involved in several study clubs and enjoys all continuing education. In addition to his private practice, he teaches in and is the director of the Idaho Dental Education Program, a scholarship program for dental students that is a cooperative between the State of Idaho, Idaho State University, and Creighton University School of Dentistry. He is also a faculty member of the Idaho Advanced General Dentistry Residency Program as well as the Idaho State University Dental Hygiene Program. Through these efforts, he has the opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the most exceptional young professionals as well as work with and learn from some of the brightest minds within the profession.

Dr. Ybarguen loves coming to the office each day because of the relationships he has with his team and patients. He feels fortunate to be able to work with an exceptional group of ladies that truly go the extra mile to take care of people! The Elite Dental Care team genuinely cares about their patients and each other.

I have worked in dentistry for over 30 years and have worked with Dr. Y since 2007. I love the entire team I work with as each one of them helps each other without being asked. Definitely the best group of girls Ive worked with. As far as patients, I thoroughly enjoy every patient and getting to know them. I am glad I have had a chance to help our patients improve their oral health.

I am married and my husband, Tim, and I have two sons. I graduated from Idaho State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Dental Hygiene. I have 7 siblings and 20 nieces and nephews, which keeps me busy with family functions. My husband has been the head golf pro at Pinecrest for 34 years. Our 2 sons are busy with college at ISU and work.

I grew up in southeastern Idaho and have lived in Idaho Falls since 2008. I graduated from Idaho State University in 2002 with a BS in Dental Hygiene and have worked in the dental field since 1996 (wow... that makes me feel old!) I have had the privilege of working with Dr. Y since 2015.

My favorite part of being a hygienist is getting to know my patients and their families, and it is fulfilling to provide quality dental care to our great patients. I love the people I get to work with! We care about our patients and each other. We make a great team!

My husband and I have 6 beautiful children. When Im not at the office, I spend a lot of time following my kids around to their various activities and sporting events. There is never a dull moment! My husband and I enjoy traveling (with and without the kids), skiing in the winter, and boating in the summer. In my down time, I enjoy reading, cooking, baking, and trying new things.

I was born and raised in Idaho Falls. In 2015, I graduated from Idaho State University with a bachelors degree in Dental Hygiene. I have been working at Elite Dental Care with Dr. Y and his staff since 2018!

One of the many reasons I love being a dental hygienist is the relationships I can develop with my patients. I enjoy working one-on-one with each patient to educate them about the most efficient way to achieve the best oral health possible.

I am married to my best friend Brock, and we have two of the most amazing and special children ever. Spending time with my family is what I enjoy doing most, but I also love sewing, baking and decorating cupcakes, camping, and being outside!

I received my Expanded Functions Dental Assistant Certification from Eastern Idaho Technical College and assisted for about 5 years after. I have been with Dr. Ybarguen since 2017. I love working with our team! I love helping others, as well as the relationships I get to build every day with our awesome patients.

I have a beautiful and spunky daughter, McKay. She is the light of my life and my biggest blessing. When I am not working, I like to be outdoors! I prefer warm weather; I love Idaho summers! I like to spend my free time camping, hiking, backpacking, paddle boarding, biking, and running. I also love to travel and experience new cultures. I love to be busy and am always on the go!

I joined the awesome team of Elite Dental Care in February 2019. My journey in dentistry began in San Antonio, Texas, in 2001 as an Insurance Coordinator with treatment plan presentations, and I have continued this rewarding adventure since relocating to Idaho. I love meeting and interacting with all of our patients and watching as their smiles transform throughout their treatment.

I am dedicated to serving all of your insurance needs, from verifying and maximizing your benefits to helping you understand how they will work together. If you have any questions at any time regarding your insurance, please feel free to reach out to me.

My wonderful husband William and I have two daughters, Katelyn and Hannah, and two sons, Brandon and Donald, as well as a Boxer, named Artemis and a French bulldog named Wally. We call them our toddlers as our children are now grown. We look forward to exploring the great outdoors, fishing, camping, and gardening, and there is always a home improvement project waiting just around the corner that keeps us on our toes.

I have been working in the dental field since 2015. I love working with great girls and a awesome Doctor! I have only been here a short time and it has been great! I enjoy getting to know new people and hear about them and what they love. Being apart of a team that provides the best experience for our patients from the moment they walk in to the moment they leave is a great feeling.

I am married to my best friend! Ethan and I have been married for almost 11 years and have 3 beautiful kids! We enjoy being around family and love being in the outdoors. The summers in Idaho are our favorite time! We will be outside playing and soaking up all the sun playing family game of corn hole and going razor riding and dirt biking! We go camping as much as we can as it is our favorite family bonding time!

My favorite part about coming to work each day is getting to know our patients on a personal level. I am so blessed to be part of a team that works together to make sure every patients needs are met and they have a great experience.

I was born in Logan, Utah, but raised in Idaho Falls. I am the middle child of 4 sisters (lucky dad). I grew up in a business where I helped my parents with their Mexican grocery store. I learned so much from working at a small age. Ever since I was a small girl I loved going to the dentist. I always remember getting greeted by the staff and they were always kind and friendly.

Ive been an assistant for 4 years now and I absolutely love it! Ive learned so much from my experience and still learning more till this day. My favorite thing about what I do is helping patients smile again and getting to know each and everyone. Im excited to be part of Dr. Ybarguen team where I know patients and staff matter and are always treated with respect.

I have a daughter, Nataly, who enjoys singing and creating funny videos (shes a handful for sure). In my spare time I enjoy writing, drawing and listening to music. I love spicy food, especially Flamin hot Cheetos, even though that's more of a snack. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, my family and I love to travel so we are always looking for new places to go.

I was born and raised in California until I moved to Idaho in 2012. Although I miss the year-long sunshine, Ive come to love Idaho. I have been married since 2017 to my favorite human. It was also in 2017 that I started working with Dr. Y. I truly have developed a love for dentistry. Not only do I love the technical aspects of dentistry, but the interactions with our patients. I love that Dr. Y has created an environment that truly puts patients first. His caring nature transcends throughout the office, creating a team that I love to work with.

In my free time, I love spending time with my family and friends! I thrive in the summer when I can do all things outdoorsy and adventurous. I love working out, riding my bike, hiking, paddle boarding, and anything that gets me outside. With that being said, I also really love photography, reading, and just relaxing! Overall, I just love having fun and spending time in with those I love!

I was born in Omaha, Nebraska, but raised in Idaho Falls. I graduated from Idaho Falls High School in 2019 and am currently studying in hopes to become a dental hygienist. I have worked for Dr. Ybarguen since 2013, as he is my boss and -- even better -- my dad! Working for him is an honor. He gets to know his patients personally in addition to taking care of their dental needs. I also love the girls I get to work with. Not only do I love working in the dental field, but taking care of others is something I look forward to every day.

As a young girl, I developed a passion for cheerleading. I was a cheerleader in high school and loved every minute of it. Some of my other hobbies consist of spending time with family and friends, traveling, attending sporting events, and just about anything outdoors in the summertime.
