Michelle Metcalf, DMD
Dr. Metcalf’s ultimate goal is to create a comfortable experience while providing the best possible dental care, offering compassion, empathy and the ability to listen. Dr. Metcalf grew up in Eastern Idaho before graduating with honors from The College of Idaho with degrees in elementary education and art. Several years later, she returned to the classroom at the University of Utah for her pre-dental coursework and then received her dental degree from Roseman University of Health Sciences. Following graduation from dental school, Michelle attended a one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho. There, she became competent in restorative dentistry, oral conscious sedation, endodontics and oral surgery. She also gained experience in full-mouth rehabilitation. Dr. Metcalf continues to enhance her education with ongoing continuing education courses, which help deliver the best patient experiences.
Dr. Metcalf is looking forward to years of practice where she can develop long-term relationships with her patients.
To balance out her professional life, Dr. Metcalf enjoys spending time with her husband and their two children. They enjoy camping, skiing and family game night!

Why do you enjoy dentistry and this office?
My journey to the dental profession is unique, since I originally started as an elementary teacher prior to attending dental hygiene school. The reason I chose to go into dental hygiene was discovered more once I started my education. I love the opportunity to make a difference in my patients’ oral health as well as providing exceptional quality care and services.

Why do you enjoy dentistry and this office?
As a child, I was always in the dental chair getting another filling restored. I wanted to go into dentistry to help others prevent this from happening to them, along with making them feel at ease about needing dental work.
When I got into the field of dentistry, little did I know how amazing it could be to help people with feeling comfortable and changing their lives along the way- one smile at a time! I have been working in this office for many years now, and what I love the most is being able to have the confidence to tell someone what we can do to improve their smile. Giving someone the opportunity to smile again is a fulfillment I just could never live without!
What are your special interests?
