Dr. Scott E. Hayhurst, General & Cosmetic Dentist in Boise, ID

Dr. Scott E. Hayhurst

Dentist

Born and raised in Idaho—with a few childhood adventures in Alabama and Oregon while his dad served in the U.S. Air Force—Dr. Hayhurst grew up in a home that valued hard work, learning, and determination. With a father who was a Lt. Colonel and pilot, and a mom who dedicated her life to education as a high school special education teacher.

Dr. Hayhurst’s college journey started at Weber State University, where he redshirted his freshman year on the basketball team. After a two-year service mission in Columbus, Ohio, he picked up both books and basketball again at Dixie University (now Utah Tech University). While knee injuries eventually sidelined his athletic career, his academic path stayed strong. He went on to attend Utah State University for three years, and then the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, where he earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) in 2001.

Since then, Dr. Hayhurst has been passionate about helping patients of all ages feel confident in their smiles. His approach is gentle, personalized, and focused on what’s best for each individual. Whether it’s general care or cosmetic treatment, his goal is to make every visit a positive experience.

Dedicated to staying on top of the latest in dentistry, Dr. Hayhurst has completed hundreds of hours of continuing education in everything from Invisalign to cosmetic and advanced dental techniques. He’s an active member of the American Dental Association, Idaho State Dental Association, and Southwest Dental Society.

He also spent over 10 years as the exclusive team dentist for the Idaho Stampede, the NBA G-League affiliate, helping athletes maintain winning smiles on and off the court.

When he’s not in the office, you’ll find Dr. Hayhurst spending time with his wife, Jessica, and their four kids—Austin, Tanner, Kate, and Jackson. He loves basketball, golf, boating, traveling, supporting his kids playing collegiate/high school athletics, exploring the outdoors, and enjoying cars.

Betty

Treatment Coordinator

I started in the Dental field in 1976. I received my training as a dental assistant and later moved to the front desk. I have seen a lot of good changes in the dental field since then. In 2004 I joined Dr. Hayhurst’s office in Star and retired in 2014 and now work part-time in the Boise office. I have lived in Idaho all my life. My husband and I enjoy travelling and camping with our family and friends. I enjoy cooking with my four grandchildren as well. Some of my hobbies are reading, sewing, beading and cross stitching. I am very blessed to work with Dr. Hayhurst and his team.
