Well, I became a dentist because I wanna help people. And dentistry can often be a scary experience. And we have the ability as dentists to really help patients to have a good experience. Our smile, our teeth has a huge effect on our lives. And it can affect our confidence with ourselves, our confidence with our interaction with others. And as a dentist, I have the ability to really change people’s lives.
It’s really awesome when patients have come in and they have bad teeth or they aren’t comfortable with their smile, with our technology, we can change your smile in a day, so that their whole perception, their whole perspective on life changes. We can also help people who, you know, if they just have one tooth that’s hurting, then we can get them out of pain with that. And so really, our oral health is connected to the rest of our body. So by improving their oral health, we improve their overall health, and we can help them live a better life.
I always wanted to do something in the medical field. And as a dentist, we get to help people. We can have a good lifestyle. We don’t have to have those crazy hours that some physicians do. And so, it just was really a good fit as a dentist to be able to help people. And as a dentist, I get to work a little bit more closely with some of my patients than maybe some other healthcare providers do. And so that really offers a lot of great benefits as well.
I did my undergraduate degree at Brigham Young University-Idaho. Afterwards, I attended dental school at Indiana University School of Dentistry in Indianapolis. And I graduated number 5 in my class out of 106. And I got the award for having excellent clinical and integrity when working with patients.
Some of the great CE or continuing education courses I’ve taken are in CEREC, which is our same-day crown system, and in implant dentistry offering both mini and traditional implants. I’ve also taken CE or continued education courses on offering oral conscious sedation also known as [inaudible 00:01:53]oral sedation so that we can help offer a controlled experience for each of our patients.

Skyview Dental was a great experience. I have been to many different dentist, they did a great job, they even let you know costs before they start. They explain the procedures to you and they are very friendly. The entertaining. and birds can be entertaining.

I’ve never been to a better Dentist. Dr. Dispain is fast and efficient & pretty painless. And his assistants, like Jen, go above and beyond for their patients. I’m so happy with my new smile.

From the moment I Malissa answered the phone I could tell this place was different. Being nervous of the whole process the staff made me feel safe and calm. Then when I needed to understand all of the procedures, cost and payment methods, the team was awesome. I have yet to get work done but am not worried now. People always make the difference.
Now, I am going to write the Google review PARODY we joked about as I was leaving.
Here goes:
” When I came in they all smiled. Must be because I have a great insurance. Dentist see their patients as slot machines that they can pull the handle and hit the jackpot. I only hope that when they pull my arm my teeth don’t come tumbling out!”
New review: 6 out of 5.Just did the deep cleaning procedure. This is the best place ever! No pain, no anxiety! I love this staff. I am giving a 6 out of five to make up for the accidental 4 out of five I originally clicked.

What a wonderful experience I had during my appointment. Dr. Despain and staff were wonderful. One of the best experiences I’ve had with a dentist. We joined the dental health club so we could reap the benefits. I highly recommend this clinic.

Beautiful office, very relaxing watching the birds fly about outside the very large windows. Chairs are comfortable and they have updated equipment that makes the experience much better. Very easy to communicate with and visits are quick and painless.

I’ve been to Skyview twice so far and had a great experience both times. Whole staff is professional, hard working and down to earth. I had to bring my infant with me the second time and didn’t realize how scared he would get watching me, doc and assistant were understanding and loving, she came in when she heard him crying and kept him distracted the rest of the time. It’s also been a couple days since my appointment and I’m having no issues with my new fillings, thank you Dr. Despain. I’m grateful for your practice and all the people in it. ♥️🙏

I had a split Moller that I had to get a root canal on. The staff was great at helping me and making sure I was comfortable. Dr. Despair did such a great job making sure I didn’t hurt during and afterward with the root canal. Didn’t feel the numbing shots at all. It was fast and a great experience. I would recommend this dental office to anyone who needs work or just check ups. If you don’t have insurance they have plans that help you get what you need done at a good price. I was so very impressed with everything they did and how welcoming they where. They have a great membership which cost less then insurance a month and you get a good value with the membership. They will work with you too help you set up some type of payment plan if you have like a root canal done. I’m on SSI so with the membership and there help with a payment plan. I can afford to go to the dentist again for my mouths maintenance which is very important. If you need dental work done please give them a call and try them out. So very helpful. I hope this help someone who needs a dentist.

My first word, about Skyview dental is compassionate. They knew I was afraid of needles and having lockjaw issues, but walked me through everything and walk out with two crowns in the same day I think that’s fabulous. I highly recommend Skyview dental.
