Meet the Team at Brookside Dental

Dr. Robbie Hamblin, DMD

Robbie Hamblin, DMD, is the owner of Brookside Dental in Nampa, Idaho, and a trusted dentist across the community. He and his team of dental professionals strive to welcome patients into a relaxing environment where they can improve their health and appearance with gentle treatments. 

When Dr. Hamblin was 16-years-old, his uncle, a dentist, performed dental work on him that he found comfortable and unintimidating. At that point, he realized that he could make a difference in dentistry for patients like himself and take the anxiety out of everything dental––from cavity fillings to extensive procedures, like tooth extractions. He has advanced education in IV conscious sedation and serves as an evaluator for the state board. 

Dr. Hamblin earned his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, in 1995. After meeting his wife there, they moved to Portland, Oregon, to attend dental school at Oregon Health and Science University and earn their respective degrees. 

Following the completion of his education, Dr. Hamblin spent three years of Army service in Fort Huachuca, Arizona, on a scholarship. After completing his service, he moved his family to Nampa, Idaho, to open his private practice in 1998. 

He and his wife of 31 years have five children and four grandchildren. They love spending time as a family, playing basketball, biking, running, creating music, and paddleboarding. Dr. Robbie also plays piano and guitar, and he helps coach high school track and cross country. 

Dr. Jared Hamblin, DDS

Dr. Jared Hamblin is one of our dentists and co-owner, as well as Dr. Robbie Hamblin's son. Dr. Jared earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Utah and his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Dalhousie University in May of 2021. He then completed a residency program in Pocatello, ID through ISU before joining our practice in July of 2022. 

Dr. Jared provides all general dentistry services, including general family dentistry, crowns and bridges, and cosmetic dentistry. He received training through his residency at Idaho Advanced Education in General Dentistry and has a particular interest in dental implants and sedation dentistry.  

My goal as a dentist is to make this experience as unpleasant as possible. I understand it's not everybody's favorite thing to come see us, so I strive to make the experience as smooth as I possibly can. 

My favorite thing about dentistry is the all the different aspects of dentistry. Dentistry is a great combination of the science of the human body, the art of creating beautiful smiles, and the opportunity to work with all kinds of people. 

Outside of the office, Dr. Jared is happily married and the father of two young children, Grayson and Charlotte, and cockapoo named Milo. He and his family often spend their time exploring the great outdoors, trying new foods, and road biking.

Amy
