I was born and raised in a small town in central Minnesota called Brainerd. It is nestled amongst the lakes and trees. Growing up in the country I have always enjoyed hunting, fishing and exploring the great outdoors. I attended college at the University of Minnesota Duluth and obtained a degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. During college I always worked a job or two. My favorite job was being a snowboarding instructor and I made a few trips out west to explore the real mountains. After becoming a biologist I then went on to pursue a Doctor in Dental Surgery, DDS from the University of Minnesota located in Minneapolis. During dental school I took a trip with some classmates to the Coeur D Alene area and immediately fell in love. I had a dream that one day I would return. After graduating from dental school in 2007, I moved to Coeur dAlene to be close to the mountains, lakes, and the bountiful recreational activities the area has to offer. In my down time I enjoy anything that keeps me active and healthy. I enjoy spending time with my friends mountain biking, snowboarding, rock climbing, windsurfing and spend any other free time getting involved in activities that keep me connected to the community. Aside from my desire to be a tooth artist I am also a painter. I primarily do oil paintings and would best be described as a landscape artist. I believe that my ability to see things from many perspectives and the attention to detail that I have developed through my artistic experiences will directly translate into a better dental experience for you.

As a student of life I have always admired the values and the historical ideals of a Gentleman. A Gentleman is someone who is self-motivated. He is educated in as many disciplines as possible and always strives for continuous improvement. He works hard to serve others and adheres to a strict code of ethics. He is open minded to new ideas and mindful of what he doesn't know. A gentleman is educated in the arts as well as the sciences. I created Artisan Dental to express these values. As an artist I feel that I have a unique ability to understand detail, perspective, and how things are connected. I also have a background in mechanics. I grew up restoring classic cars and old houses with my Dad. These differing backgrounds help me understand how to plan out sequential treatment options and ways to think outside the box to achieve the optimal value for patients. This translates into better treatment options and outcomes that can meet your specific dental needs.

We aim to bring back the old time feel of dentistry. We want to create lifelong relationships with our patients and earn their referrals. We want to keep things as consistent and predictable as possible. Our goal is to have the latest proven technology. We dont plan to spend lots of money on the newest flashy technology just to impress our patients. We will acquire new technology when the evidence and effectiveness have been proven. This helps us keep our costs very competitive while keeping the dentistry predictable. Many offices try to impress their patients with fancy new lasers, x-rays or computer aided crown designs. While some of these technologies do have applications they are not always as cost effective and predictable and can easily be over utilized to help justify their cost. We stand behind our work and will adopt new techniques when they make sense.

We have a great centralized location between several schools and the mall. Drop the kids off and get your shopping done, or quickly get them back and forth from school. We are located in a clean, modern building with convenient close parking. We are the first suite inside the ground level floor and we are handicap accessible. As an added bonus there are several specialists located within the same building. Right next door we have an Oral surgeon, Dr. Trevor Griffits, http://www.cdaomfs.com There is also a root canal specialist, Dr. Tim Penberthy, located in the same building. We are a one stop shop for all your dental needs.

Been going to Dr. Bourassa since he took over his dental office. I've been as happy as I can be with any dentist . . . I don't like dentists! Truth be told I go there because I love the cleanings his dental hygienist does! She is the best! I asked him to replace a very old crown with a solid porcelain crown. I had put it off because I hate the process of a crown, especially the temp crown they put in your mouth while an outside lab makes your crown. 20 years ago I choked on one of those temp crowns that came off! Turns out, Dr. Bourassa has this new technology and in house equipment to make a new crown all in one visit! No temp crown! So I sat down and they shoved this wand/camera into my mouth and moved it around seemingly randomly and it made this perfect model of my mouth and transferred the data to a computer. The computer program created my new tooth with some help from Dr. Bourassa and his tech. That data was then transferred to the pictured machine that then created my tooth! I got to observe the diamond drill heads as they carved out this beautiful new tooth! Amazing, and all while I waited! No temp metal tooth for me! When it was done it fit it onto my "stub" and it fit like a glove. He then cured it at some insane temperature in the machine and hardened it another 300 percent! He then placed it permanently into my mouth in record time. I looked at it when I got home and it is nothing short of perfect! Mind blown! If you need a porcelain crown and don't want to wait for the final product while being fitted with a metal temp crown, go see Dr. Bourassa! It's been two weeks and I am completely satisfied with this new technology! My absolute highest recommendation!

This company is great to work with. They are good with scheduling and do not send you to another dentist/specialist to get work done. Very friendly staff as well!

Dr Nate has a very professional, self assured, and calming bedside manner. Actually showed up for my exam! What a plus! A huge difference from the office I chose to leave, after receiving hit or miss care with an unmatched arrogance. I think I found a keeper!

Great experience with Artisan Dental! Dr. Nate and his staff are super friendly and welcoming. I went there specifically for a procedure my current dentist could not do. Technology is above and beyond what I have seen anywhere else which makes everything seamless. Best dentist in North Idaho by far. I will be switching permanently.
