Meet Dr. Kyle Pelletier, DMD
Dr. Kyle Pelletier is a co-lead dentist at Lamb Family Dental in Boise, Idaho. Born and raised in the Seattle area, he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Brigham Young University-Idaho and a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from Roseman University of Health Sciences in South Jordan, Utah. He holds Idaho General Dentist License D-5106 and National Provider Identifier (NPI) 1487170726, with extensive continuing education that allows him to provide care across all areas of dentistry.
From the Pacific Northwest to the Treasure Valley
Dr. Pelletier was born and raised in the Seattle area. He attended Brigham Young University-Idaho, where he met his wife Brittany and completed his undergraduate degree in Exercise Science, a foundation in human anatomy and biomechanics that informs his clinical work today.
From BYU-Idaho, Dr. Pelletier was accepted to Roseman University of Health Sciences College of Dental Medicine in South Jordan, Utah, where he completed his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree. Roseman’s competency-based education model emphasizes integrated patient care, combining didactic learning with extensive supervised clinical practice from early in the program.
After dental school, Dr. Pelletier moved to Fort Worth, Texas, where he began his dental career. During his time in Texas, he completed numerous continuing education courses across the major disciplines of dentistry, preventive care, restorative dentistry, endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, and cosmetic care, which helped him become proficient in all areas of general dentistry rather than narrowly specialized.
Eventually, Dr. Pelletier and Brittany made the decision to move back to Idaho to raise their three daughters in the Boise area. The choice was driven by family, the slower pace, the proximity to the outdoors, and a community where their kids could grow up among neighbors who become friends.
“The best compliment I can receive is when a patient tells me they forgot they were at the dentist. That means we did our job right.”

How Dr. Pelletier practices dentistry
Dr. Pelletier combines technical precision with genuine warmth. His patients consistently describe him as thorough, patient, and reassuring, qualities that matter most when you are in the dental chair. Before any procedure, he walks each patient through what is happening, what to expect, and what their options are.
He is committed to clear, jargon-free communication. Many of the most common dental terms, pulp chamber, periapical lesion, distal occlusal, mean nothing to a patient hearing them for the first time. Dr. Pelletier translates clinical findings into language patients understand, and he encourages questions until everyone in the room is on the same page.
Because his continuing-education path covered the full spectrum of general dentistry rather than a single specialty, Dr. Pelletier is comfortable handling a broad mix of cases, from routine cleanings for kids to complex restorative work for adults. He treats patients of all ages, from toddlers getting their first cleaning to seniors maintaining lifelong dental health.

Family, the Idaho outdoors, and three daughters
Dr. Pelletier and his wife Brittany are raising three daughters in the Boise area. Outside of work, he spends as much time with his family as possible, whether that is skiing in the winter, lake days in the summer, traveling to the ocean, or simply being outdoors. He loves creating memories with his kids and credits his family for the perspective he brings to patient care: when he is in the chair with someone’s child, he treats them the way he would want his own daughters treated.
The decision to move back to Idaho was deliberate. The Treasure Valley offers the kind of community Dr. Pelletier and Brittany wanted for their family, close to outdoor recreation, anchored by good schools, and full of neighbors who feel like extended family.
“Dr. Pelletier took extra time to explain why he recommended a crown instead of a filling. I appreciated the honesty and felt confident in my decision.”
