Meet Dr. Kimball Mack, DMD
Dr. Kimball Mack is the lead dentist and owner of Lamb Family Dental in Boise, Idaho. Raised between Eastern Idaho and the Salt Lake Valley, he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Brigham Young University and a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from Roseman University of Health Sciences. He holds Idaho General Dentist License D-5587 and National Provider Identifier (NPI) 1659809200, and focuses on cosmetic and restorative dentistry, especially for patients who feel self-conscious about their smiles.
From Idaho roots to a Boise practice
Dr. Mack grew up between Eastern Idaho and the Salt Lake Valley, where he developed a deep appreciation for the outdoors and the strong community values that shape his approach to dentistry today. He returned to Idaho after years of practice elsewhere because he wanted to build a long-term practice in a community where he could know his patients by name.
He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Brigham Young University, where his undergraduate work in human anatomy and biomechanics laid the foundation for his understanding of the head, neck, and jaw, knowledge that informs every diagnosis he makes today.
Dr. Mack then completed his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree at Roseman University of Health Sciences College of Dental Medicine in South Jordan, Utah. Roseman uses a competency-based education model with integrated patient care, an approach that produces dentists trained on real cases, not just textbooks, before they graduate.
After dental school, Dr. Mack owned a private practice in Dallas, Texas for several years before relocating to Arizona, and ultimately returning home to Idaho. Practicing in three different markets gave him exposure to a wide range of dental cases and a clear conviction about the kind of practice he wanted to build: one centered on listening to the patient first, then recommending care.
“The patients I help most are the ones who feel self-conscious about their smile. Watching someone laugh freely after we have rebuilt their confidence, that is the work that matters to me.”

How Dr. Mack practices dentistry
Dr. Mack believes the right treatment plan starts with listening. Before recommending any procedure, he spends time understanding the patient, their concerns, their goals, their budget, and the history of dental experiences that shape how they feel about being in the chair. Because the right care depends on the whole person, not just the tooth.
He focuses on making every treatment as comfortable as possible. This includes generous numbing protocols, frequent check-ins during procedures, sedation options for patients with anxiety, and an emphasis on minimally invasive techniques whenever they are clinically appropriate. If a tooth can be watched instead of treated, he says so, and reviewers regularly note this honest, no-pressure style.
Dr. Mack has a particular interest in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, including helping patients who have avoided the dentist for years rebuild confidence in their smile. Many of his most rewarding cases involve patients who were embarrassed to laugh in photos before treatment and arrive at their final visit ready to celebrate.

“Dr. Mack explained everything clearly and never rushed me. For the first time in years I actually felt comfortable at the dentist.”
