Growing up, Dr. Carlson was constantly the subject of ridicule because his lower jaw was noticeably larger than his upper jaw. This condition was so bad that he eventually needed to undergo surgery when he was 22. This gave him the drive to pursue a career that would allow him to help people look and feel good about themselves. He also wanted to be able to provide everything his patients could possibly need himself, which is why he has gone above and beyond to learn everything he can about all aspects of oral healthcare.
Dr. Carlson attended Marshall University in West Virginia on academic and swimming scholarships, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. He received his doctorate at the University of Florida College of Dentistry. He furthered his dental studies at the University of Texas in their hospital-based General Practice Residency Program; less than 10% of all dentists nationwide have completed such rigorous training. Dr. Carlson has attended the prestigious Misch Implant Institute and completed a residency focused on TMJ disorders at the University of Florida. He has also taught at the University of Floridas Advanced Education in General Dentistry Residency Program for over a decade. He is a trusted leader in the dental community, having lectured on various advanced topics, such as cosmetic dentistry and complicated treatment planning.
Dr. Carlson loves to be outdoors, and his wife shares the same interest in staying active while enjoying nature. They like to bike (electric bikes), golf, kayak, boat, play pickleball, and snow ski. They are also the proud parents of three daughters who they try to see as often as possible.
