Jake D. Gerard, D.M.D.

Dr. Gerard says he decided to pursue a career in dentistry because he loves working with his hands and interacting with people of all ages. He loves the variety of procedures, the technology, and the continual education that enables him to serve his patients better.

After obtaining his undergraduate degree from Idaho State University, Dr. Gerard pursued his dental degree from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, where he excelled in the clinic and received awards in implant dentistry and cosmetics. Since graduating and beginning to practice at our Meridian office, he has attended continuing education courses in implant dentistry and sleep apnea/snoring. He says of his decision to practice in Idaho, “I was born and raised in Idaho, and I knew I wanted to return here. I love the mountains and the outdoors!”

Dr. Gerard feels that dentistry can provide life-changing results for patients. “I love doing implant dentistry and sleep-related dentistry because it provides such an amazing positive change for my patients. I can give them their lives back!” Dr. Gerard’s ideal patient is concerned about their total body health and getting the treatment they need.

On his days away from the practice, Dr. Gerard enjoys riding off-road motorcycles, camping, and hiking with his wife, Kayleen, and their five children.
