He also has privileges at local hospitals to perform sedation dentistry with local anesthesiologists. The Idaho board of dentistry recognizes him as a Sedation monitor for other dentists in Idaho who are trying to get their sedation license. Dr. Hansen has substantial training in full mouth dentistry, occlusion, cosmetic, implants, and dentures. He loves learning and does considerably high amounts of continuing education every year.

Dr. Hansen has had the pleasure of providing free cosmetic dentistry for a Smile Makeover giveaway to help someone in need get the smile they have always wanted. Dr. Hansen is instrumental in a community day of free dentistry called “Smiles From Santa”. This free day of dentistry started just in Idaho Falls and is now in Rexburg and Pocatello. They’ve completed well over a million dollars in free dentistry for the needy in Idaho. He also supports and participates in the programs Give Kids a Smile and Missions of Mercy national that provide the needy with dentistry.

Dr. Hansen has a gentle touch and an eye for detail, and patients find it easy to understand their treatment option after their exams. Patients are at ease with his no pain policy. If for any reason a patient feels any pain or discomfort all they have to do is simply raise their hand and he will stop and figure out how to make the patient more comfortable. In fact, he is so diligent about his patients feeling as little as possible that his team tells him that the patient is Hansen numb (meaning that the patient feels nothing when they test for numbness). He is also very gentle when getting patients numb, often they report not even feeling it. He looks at dentistry from an artistic point of view. Intensely analysing his patients for the best cosmetic, comfort, and functional results.
