Dr. Luke Jacobsen
Luke Jacobsen D.D.S.
Dr. Luke Jacobsen was born and raised in Boise, ID, where he spent many hours focusing on studies, varsity sports, and playing the violin. As a presidential scholarship awardee, he attended California Lutheran University, where he earned his BS in Biology with an emphasis in pre-medicine. He continued with his dental education at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry, recognized as one of the top cosmetic and dental schools in the nation.
Dr. Jacobsen most enjoys the personal interaction with each patient, discussing their wants and needs, educating the patient and delivering the highest standard of treatment with an ethical approach, providing a pleasant experience with each and every patient. Considering that time is valuable, and many people have reservations about visiting the dentist, Dr. Jacobsen has become proficiently trained in CEREC technology, providing streamline patient care for crown and onlay delivery in a single appointment visit for the patient.
Dr. Jacobsen is a member of the American Dental Association, CADS, ISDA, IAOMT, Fotona Study Club, and Seattle Study Club.
The most rewarding aspect for Dr. Jacobsen is watching the transformation of the patient’s attitude and increase in self-esteem when providing a positive experience and exceptional outcome for the patient. Family is a large part of Dr. Jacobsen’s life, so treating each patient as a family member is of utmost importance. Having several years of working for public health and private practice has allowed Dr. Jacobsen to understand the importance of communicating dental education and advocacy for the patient and provide the patient with not only the most esthetic outcome, but also the most functional.
Dr. Jacobsen believes that “in order to achieve harmonious balance in treatment outcomes, you must engage the patient and become more than their doctor, you must be their confidant and advocate.”

Z-Systems Ceramic Implants
Exclusively in Boise from Dr. Luke Jacobsen
The Only FDA Approved 100 % Metal Free Implants, Superior to Titanium Implants in Many Areas:
More natural.
Bones and gums integrate better with zirconium oxide ceramics.
Healthier.
Z-SYSTEMS implants are metal-free, biocompatible, conduct neither heat nor electrical energy, and cause no irritation to the immune system.
More sustainable.
Less plaque accretion than on titanium. This reduces the risk of perimplantitis as well as cardiovascular diseases and strokes.
Stronger.
Ceramic is much stronger than titanium.
More aesthetic.
Thanks to the white material, no gray shadows are visible even with thin or receding gums.
More visible.
Ceramic implants are opaque to X-rays, and easier to recognize in critical situations.
What Is A Dental Implant?
The implant body or post is the portion of the implant that is inserted into the jawbone. The implant body integrates with the jawbone and becomes the anchor for the new tooth.
The implant abutment is the portion of the dental implant inside the crown. Sometimes the abutment is created with the implant body as one piece. Other times, it is separate and attached to the implant with a screw. The abutment shapes the gum tissue and supports the crown.
The dental implant crown is the portion of the dental implant you see, but if done correctly, no one can tell it is not a natural tooth. The crown is bonded or cemented to the implant abutment and is commonly made of a ceramic or zirconia material because of its naturally white color and strength.
