Dentistry near Meridian, ID

Biography: Dr. McRae and his team want you to feel relaxed and comfortable in their care. They would like you to know a little bit about them and hope to get to know you as well. "When I was a kid, I hated going to the dentist because I always knew I would get a shot. I was so scared of them that I usually let the dentist drill without anesthetic. Those past experiences made me think there had to be a better way of doing this. I think the biggest misconception in dentistry today is that it's the same as it was 25 years ago. That is not the case, and here at McRae Dental, we are showing our patients that we can make things much more comfortable for them. I treat all of my patients with the same care that I would give to my own wife or kids if they were in the dental chair. I will do anything in my power to make a patient's visit the best dental experience they have ever had." – Dr. McRae Dr. McRae graduated from Oregon Health Sciences University School of Dentistry in 1996 and has since had a successful practice in Meridian, Idaho.
