Dr. Paul Curtis
Orthodontist
Education & Experience:
Dr. Curtis completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Utah, graduating in behavioral science and health. He then studied dentistry at the University of Louisville, graduating cum laude in 2014.
After graduating from dental school, he served in the United States Navy, practicing dentistry as a Naval officer in South Carolina. Despite his love and appreciation for the military, he and his family moved to Colorado to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming an orthodontist. He completed his residency in orthodontics, earned a master’s degree in dentistry during his time in residency, and also successfully challenged the American Board of Orthodontics clinical examination to qualify himself as an ABO Board Certified orthodontist (a prestigious accomplishment for orthodontic specialists).
After practicing for a period in Colorado, Dr. Curtis and his family sought out the opportunity to move home to Idaho to continue practicing orthodontics.
Personal:
Dr. Curtis and his wife, Whitney, have three children: Millie, Lucy and Calvin. They love Idaho and are so happy to be settled home in Meridian. In his free time, Dr. Curtis loves spending time outdoors with his family going hiking, camping and boating. He loves all things sports, particularly basketball, football, tennis and golf. Along with his love for family and sports, he is also passionate about Mexican food, cold cereal and anything mango.
Dr. Curtis loves being around people, and he became an orthodontist because he loves working with both kids and adults to help them transform their smiles!
