OUR TEAM

Hillary Whipple, DMD

I grew up in Alabama, graduated from college at Auburn University in 2009, where I met my husband, Ben. I attended Dental School at University of Alabama at Birmingham. My husband and I discovered our love for the mountains during college and moving closer to them has been our goal ever since. After finishing a residency in general dentistry in Boise, I had the wonderful opportunity to join Dr. McElveen’s practice and move to the Wood River Valley. I could not be happier to be a part of such a wonderful team in such a beautiful, unique location.

H Kirby Skavdahl, DDS

I attended the University of Washington where I obtained my Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1979. After a year of private practice, I attended Medical College of Virginia where I became certified in the dental specialty field of Periodontics in 1982. Moving back to Washington State, I set up a private practice limited to Periodontics, practicing 39 years in Kennewick, until I sold the practice in July of 2021. My college sweetheart, Connie Sue, and I have been frequenting the Sun Valley area since 1986 with our three children, taking in many of the areas' winter and summer activities, include skiing and golfing as well as biking.

I am a graduate of the University of Iowa with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene. After college, I moved west and have embraced the small town mountain lifestyle. I give back to the community by volunteering with organizations providing community service to promote oral health care.
It is a privilege to work with an exceptional team of dental care providers. At our practice, we believe in going the extra mile to help our patients. If you are looking for a dental practice that is devoted to making patients feel comfortable while providing them with exceptionally high quality results, you have come to the right place.

RDH

I am a Seattle native who moved to Hailey Idaho for Dental Hygiene School at CSI in 2014. I graduated in the top of my class in May of 2018 with a degree in Dental Hygiene.
I started with Hillary Whipples' practice in November of 2021 and have been practicing in the dental field for several years as a dental assistant prior to Dental Hygiene school.
My passion in dental hygiene is to help the community I live in obtain their optimal oral and overall health!!! In my senior year of dental hygiene school, I specialized in helping patients work through their dental anxiety as well as in periodontal procedures and elderly/special needs patients. I truly believes in making sure my patients feel calm and comfortable before during and after their procedure.

An Idaho native, raised to live in the sunshine and dirt, there is nowhere else in the world I'd rather be. The sense of community here is unparallelled. I could not have asked for a better team to work with than the one Dr. Hillary Whipple has built, or for better patients than ours. With top of the line technology and a comfortable office "feel," I am confident that we can take the best care of your oral health needs. We use evidence-based practice methods to ensure all of our patients have all of the information and options available to make the best choices for their own individual needs and lifestyle.
I have been practicing in clinical dentistry since 2008. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from Idaho State University, Summa Cum Laude and an AHEC scholar. I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Dental Hygiene at ISU as well. My goal is to assist in the advancement of the profession of dental hygiene to allow for more delivery of oral healthcare to the medically underserved populations of our great state. I look forward to helping your smile shine its brightest.

Office Manager/Dental Assistant

“I am proud of the quality of care we provide for our patients.”
My husband and I moved to Fairfield in 1995, bought property and started a family. Within that time I started a career in the field of dentistry, and I can honestly say dentistry is my passion. I absolutely love working with people and forming new lasting friendships.
I am a dental assistant, and as such, I help patients through every step of their dental procedures. I am fortunate to be trusted by our patients and to have the opportunity to help make each one of them as comfortable and well-cared for as possible. It is a wonderful thing to love and enjoy your job. I can honestly say I love and enjoy mine.
When I am not at work, it’s not a difficult thing to get out and enjoying our beautiful valley. I love to hike with my friends and spend time with my family.
At Hillary Whipple DMD, we will take care of your dental procedures with care and compassion.

I was born and raised in Bend, Oregon, where I gained an appreciation and love for the outdoors. I came to the valley in 2016 and felt so lucky to live in such a beautiful place!
My husband and I enjoy camping, white water rafting, hiking, biking, and anything that gets us outside. My passion for the outdoors is equal to helping others. I am truly grateful I am part of this amazing team, -caring for people every day!

I’ve lived in the valley most of my life, and consider Hailey my hometown. After working in Las Vegas as a veterinarian assistant and technician, I set my goals on moving back to the valley. Working with Dr. Whipple and her phenomenally professional team, was a desire I could only dream possible. I am thrilled for the opportunity to be part of the team, and couldn’t be more happy to be back in the valley.
I truly enjoy exploring all that Idaho has to offer – from hiking familiar trails, to exploring new ones, skiing our famous Bald Mountain or snowshoeing around the Sawtooth Mountains, life is never uneventful here.
I’m excited for the chance to meet all of our patients and help attend each of you during your dental experience.

I was born and raised in Idaho, and the Wood River Valley has been my home for most of my life. I have always had a very caring nature, which led me to obtain my CNA through the College of Southern Idaho. I have enjoyed working with both children and adults, and most recently as a Dental Assistant for Dr. Whipple. I enjoy being the contact person for patients from the moment they arrive, providing support wherever it is needed. I love to learn and putting my bilingual skills to use is beneficial to our patients as well as the staff. I enjoy spending time with my family, including my two children, and camping, hiking and all that the outdoors has to offer whenever possible.
