Dr. Nelson is the best dentist I have EVER been to. I am new to the area and needed extensive work on my teeth. The bedside manner is unmatched by any other doctor (especially a dentist!) I was never in pain or discomfort even for a moment in his office. They recently upgraded their X-ray machine to a state of the art model that takes about 30 seconds and causes zero discomfort. The dentures that Dr. Nelson made me have changed my life. They look like natural teeth, but still have the same look as your original teeth did, but better. I have never gotten a compliment on my smile in the first 30 years of my life. After a short adjustment period post-surgery, I get compliments from strangers on my smile. Thank you, Dr. Kevin Nelson for helping me live a quality of life and self confidence I could have never achieved without the absolute expertise of your craft. You did nothing short of give me a new outlook on myself.

We love Dr Nelson's office so much that we moved away six years ago and we still schedule our cleanings when we go back to visit family. The gals in the office are so nice. It's like the Cheers of dental offices!

Keeps messing up my cap. The Tooth doesn't fit my mouth and reach to gum line. Told him the front of tooth was too tight and he said "might as well shave it off back here too" and not good gets stuck under my tooth and his staff won't even ask him to fix it. Painful. Won't correct it again. Or can't?
