My family, including my husband Jason and two grown sons, Hunter and Wyatt, have brought the greatest joy to my life. I enjoy spending quality time with them, no matter what we are doing.

My passion is traveling to warm destinations where I can scuba dive and take long walks on the beach.

Actually I am the wife of Thomas. I so much had such a fear of dentists from a very bad experience. Walking into this office, from the front desk person to dental staff and dentist was the best experience ever! 5 plus!

Amazing experience. True professions, the Doctor is a true artist with his work. I now have a beautiful set of teeth, and I finally feel confident to smile big. Thank you so much to everyone at Dresen for all you did for me, I can't thank all of you enough.

Dr. Dresen is the best. His work is top notch and the staff is wonderful. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Especially if you have a phobia about dentistry, which I did, he is fantastic.

I cannot recommend Dr. Dresen enough! I was referred to him after my primary dentist informed me that I needed to replace my bridge (which included all my top front teeth). I've had 4 previous bridges with various providers over the years that have struggled to achieve a natural looking smile due to the movement in some of my teeth. Working with Dr. Dresen and his team was a breath of fresh air! I know I was a challenging patient given my circumstances and at times very picky about the aesthetics of my teeth, but Dr. Dresen was not only patient and kind, but he was receptive and supportive of my opinions. He was incredibly knowledgeable, and his staff was such a pleasure to see at every appointment! Unlike the other providers I have worked with, Dr. Dresen went the extra mile to ensure I was pleased with the look of my smile, even allowing me to work directly with the lab that designed my bridge - I never had this opportunity before with another provider. Dr. Dresen far exceeded my expectations and gave me the beautiful smile I have always desired! (Photos attached) I cannot thank him and his wonderful team enough for all their hard work!
