Dr. Daniel Ackerman

Dr. Daniel Ackerman graduated with honors from the Oregon Health and Science University School of Dentistry, where he gained skills in the patient clinic and on rotations in public health practices. While in school, he participated in a selective study club that focused on conservative esthetic treatment using gold (the most prolonged lasting restoration we do in dentistry) and received awards in implant dentistry and periodontology.


Dr. Daniel is excited to be back home in Idaho as a part of our dental team and will enjoy working with you and your family for decades to come.

Dr. Dan has been married to his wife, Danielle, a studio artist and pharmacy technician for four years. They have two cats and are looking forward to settling down in their place in the city. When he's not caring for patients, Dr. Dan loves golfing, snowboarding, mountain biking, and hiking with his wife, Danielle.


A word from Dr. Daniel: 

"I am a dentist because I love the satisfaction of helping people and my relationships with patients. I also love the satisfaction of making something broken whole again. Dentistry is part science and part art, and I find the artistic aspects of dentistry both rewarding and engaging."

Dr. Robert Ackerman

Dr. Robert Ackerman has been practicing quality dentistry for 30 years, 23 of whom have been in this office. Dr. Robert combines heartfelt connection with experience and excellent care.


Dr. Robert graduated with honors from Baylor College of Dentistry and has received awards in periodontics, oral pathology, and children's dentistry.

Dr. Bob and his family have been in Boise for 30 years. His wife of 40 years, Beverly, home-schooled all three of their boys through high school, and all three of them live in the area. His youngest son, Robby, is currently finishing high school, which keeps him young. Dr. Bob loves skiing, hiking, exploring, and spending time with family when he's not at the dental office.


A word from Dr. Robert:

"I have enjoyed fostering patient relationships for thirty years during my dental career, and I love to help people maintain their smile for a lifetime. I have enjoyed watching the generations of families in my dental practice grow, and I hope to impact their lives positively."
