Hilary I. Dunstan, DDS Endodontist

Root canals don’t have to be dreaded. Endodontists specialize in saving teeth that might otherwise be lost, often through procedures most general dentists refer out. In Boise, this niche of dental care is handled with precision by Hilary I. Dunstan, DDS, whose practice focuses solely on the inner workings of teeth—nerves, blood vessels, and the delicate tissues that keep them alive.

North Curtis Road carries a quiet rhythm of local businesses, and at 1070 N Curtis Rd, the office sits among them, unassuming yet essential. The neighborhood, a mix of residential calm and small-scale commerce, offers a practical setting for a practice that deals in relief rather than routine. Patients come here when discomfort lingers or an injury threatens a tooth’s future, seeking the kind of expertise that turns uncertainty into clarity.

Common treatments include root canal therapy, retreatment for previous procedures that haven’t held up, and apicoectomies—surgical solutions for stubborn infections. There’s also emergency care for traumatic dental injuries, where timing can mean the difference between saving a tooth and losing it. To schedule an appointment or ask about a referral, the number is (208) 376-6307.
