Dr. Jenks’s Biography

What Dr. Jenks loves about dentistry is not only his ability to improve his patients’ oral health but to also offer comfort and relief. He’s been interested in biological sciences since junior high and feels fortunate for the many mentors who’ve encouraged him and helped him along his path. Willamette Dental offered the perfect opportunity to return to his hometown of Idaho, where he can be close to family while also working at a practice that takes such great care of their patients.

Days away draw him into the mountains or near a serene lake or river, where he finds peace in the beauty and majesty of nature.

Dr. Jenks was helpful and kind. I faced a dental emergency last month and he did everything he could to save my tooth. Although the procedure was painful, his kindness and honesty has made a huge difference. When I went in for my root canal yesterday, he made sure that I felt comfortable and that I had what I needed. I am impressed with him and his team member, thier kindness, attention to detail, and making sure I was okay. Thank you!

I have had a toothache for over a week I went in on Friday to Doctor Wilde and she sent me to Doctor Jenks whom I couldn't get into until Wednesday for a root canal .. Doctor Jenks was very nice But decided he couldn't do the root canal and he ordered me some antibiotics. The order did not get to my pharmacy , I called the Meridian office and the lady was not helpful at all almost rude..Doctor Jenks also said I needed to go to a oral surgeon and I needed a referral.. the referral was never sent to the oral surgeon ..I called the meridian office AGAIN.. And she told me they had to get it OK' by the Nampa office and that it takes 3 to 5 business days..what??? This process is way to convoluted and ridiculous especially when your suffering with pain...I am very disillusioned with willamette dental
