Dr. Kenneth E. Richardson, DDS

Who hasn’t put off a dental appointment longer than they should? Boise’s West Bench has its share of clinics, but not all of them keep the same hours or offer the same services. Dr. Kenneth E. Richardson, DDS operates out of a second-floor suite at 2720 W Overland Rd #3062, a stretch of road where strip malls and medical plazas alternate with old-school ranch houses. The mix of tenants—orthodontists, urgent-care centers, a UPS drop-off—means you can bundle errands while you wait for a cleaning or a crown.

General dentistry is the baseline here: exams, fillings, and extractions are routine. They also handle root canals, bridges, and partial dentures, so patients who need more than a six-month check-up don’t have to hunt for a specialist across town. The office phone, (208) 345-5875, is the simplest way to schedule or ask about fees; front-desk staff can usually slot new patients within a week if the issue isn’t urgent.

Parking in the lot is first-come, and the elevator up to the third floor is slow, so anyone running late should call ahead. Directions and real-time traffic updates are on the map listing: here. The neighborhood itself feels like Boise in microcosm—quiet side streets giving way to arterials lined with big-box stores and fast-casual chains.
