ABOUT US

GET TO KNOW ALLEN DENTAL

And we don’t just care about your teeth — we care about your comfort, your confidence, and your overall experience.

We understand that going to the dentist can be stressful for some. That’s why we go the extra mile to help you feel at ease. Many patients mention how the staff remembers their name, genuinely listens — whether it’s your questions or your concerns — and takes time to explain options thoroughly before doing anything.

We welcome you and your whole family to our Idaho Falls practice, whether you’re from nearby or the surrounding communities. If you’re looking for excellent dental care in a welcoming, professional — yet relaxed — atmosphere, we’re here for you.

Call us today and see for yourself how Allen Dental can help you love your smile — and the experience of getting it.

Meet Dr. Allen & Dr.Shipp

I began practicing dentistry in Idaho Falls 18 years ago. Over the years, it has been a rewarding experience that has allowed me to work alongside many outstanding team members and care for thousands of patients.

My wife, Stacey, and I have loved calling Idaho Falls home while raising our four children. This community has given so much to our family, and we feel fortunate to have built deep roots through friendships, schools, church, sports, and the many relationships that come from living and serving in this area. Being part of this community has made practicing dentistry here especially meaningful.

This June, I am pleased to welcome Dr. Ryan Shipp to our practice as we continue the tradition established by Dr. Jay Harris, who founded the practice in 1978. From the beginning, our focus has been on two core principles: providing excellent dental care and creating an environment where patients come first.

We have always worked to foster a culture of trust, comfort, and kindness. We are grateful to care for many multigenerational families, and it has been especially rewarding to build lasting relationships with our patients while helping them maintain their oral health. Many of our patients are connected through family and friendships, which speaks to the trust they place in us. Serving this community and building those relationships has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my career.

– Dr. Scott Allen

My name is Dr. Ryan Shipp and I am thrilled to be able to join the team at Allen Dental! My love for dentistry began when I lived in a small town on the Texas-Mexico border where I worked at a pediatric dental clinic. It was my first experience seeing a child attempt to hide her teeth whenever she smiled. When I saw what dentistry did for her in restoring her confidence, I realized that was the career I wanted to pursue. Since then, I have had the privilege of working with so many incredible patients with a wide range of dental needs.

When my wife, Corynn, and I were determining where we wanted to lay down roots, call home, and raise a family, a friend suggested looking into Idaho Falls. Since visiting this part of Eastern Idaho, we haven’t looked back. We love camping, the mountains, riding horses, and anything that gets us outside.

My goal has always been to provide exceptional dentistry to as many people that are looking for it. Meeting Dr. Allen and his team was the perfect fit because of how much they care about their patients. To be part of a practice that has had so much trust put into it is a privilege for me to be a part of. Maintaining and continuing to build that trust is the pursuit of my career. I look forward to meeting everyone that puts their trust in this remarkable team.

Everyone is always very personable and friendly. Had a small chip in my crown and was bothering me. So called the office and they got me in the next day and Dr. Allen was able to shave it down without having to do anything major. Then needed teeth cleaned and they just had a cancellation for the next day. I believe it was Ashley that did the cleaning. Will have to say was one of the best cleaning and easy ones I’ve had. Everyone in they office is very friendly and always feel welcoming.

The Dental assistants at this facility really care about their patients and genuinely provide great service. I used to hate going to the dentist and avoided it for years.
