I truly care about each person who comes to our office, on a professional and even more important personal level. I strive, every day with every person, to provide exceptional, personal, and comfortable care so that dentistry no longer causes anxiety. I want everyone who leaves our office to do so with a smile, looking forward to seeing us again.

For me, dentistry is more than fixing teeth and addressing dental disease: its about connecting with wonderful people and building relationships. While Im passionate about helping patients achieve healthy smiles, Im just as passionate about learning who they are and about their lives.

My team is the bedrock of our practice. Each brings knowledge and experience to the office, and each is committed to delivering exceptional, personal care to patients. It makes me happy to hear the team talking and laughing with patients. They excel at making people feel safe, by maintaining a nurturing and supportive environment where patients relax and know theyre part of our family.

Each year I complete many hours of continuing education. This allows me to provide patients with the highest-quality care, using advanced techniques. Dentistry is constantly evolving and new technological developments, along with materials and methodologies, improve care and results. My patients deserve the best and continuing education ensures I deliver.

During the year I attend multiple conferences, seminars, and lectures. Ive studied endodontics (root canal therapy), dental implants and restorations, and cosmetic dentistry. Learning from leading practitioners and researchers is invaluable to providing the best care.

Im a local boy who grew up in Dayton. Now I live in Reno with my wife, Allison, whos our office manager. Shes also a Dayton native. We dont have any children but do share our lives with one very spoiled chocolate lab, Leila.

I love the relationships that grow with our patients and their families. Im happy to make sure were providing a safe, welcoming environment and easing peoples anxieties about visiting the dentist. Working in the front office, I greet and check in patients, answer the phones, and schedule visits. I also work closely with patients to make sure they get the most from their insurance benefits, review financial arrangements, and handle patient accounts.

Im married to Dr. Nelson and truly love working with him! I grew up in Dayton and though Ive lived in other places, Im glad to call Northern Nevada home.

I am so happy when were able to help a person overcome their nervousness about seeing the dentist! Dr. Nelson and our team offer truly painless care and were always attentive to patient comfort. I work one-to-one with patients, taking X-rays, assessing their oral health, and providing thorough, gentle cleanings.

Together, we find ways they can improve their home care to keep their smile and body healthy for life!

When not working, I love visiting my grandparents and other family in California. I also enjoy hiking, camping, dancing, and taking care of my grandbaby. When sitting still, I like painting, reading, and learning new things.

Our patients are some of the best people in the world. Im so happy I meet and get to know them while they improve the health of their smiles! Dr. Nelson and my teammates are caring, honest, and provide top-quality dental care: I often hear patients talk about how happy and comfortable they are here! I spend my days providing preventive care, assessing oral health, and cleaning teeth. Working closely with each patient, I help them understand why its important to care for their teeth and gums and give them the tools and knowledge to improve their smiles health!

I love getting to know, help, and build friendships with our patients. Its a great feeling, professionally and personally, to know theyre receiving the best care from Dr. Nelson and our team!

Ive a son who lives in Reno and a grandson, too: being with them is a priority. I also volunteer at the dance studio in Yerington and love helping others, whatever they need.

I really enjoy working with people. Its a good feeling to help each patient have a painless, easy visit, and make sure theyre smiling when they leave. I promise that Dr. Nelson and our team members are patient, gentle, and kind! I seat and prepare patients, explain what well be doing, and then assist Dr. Nelson during procedures. My focus is always on our patients comfort and I constantly check how theyre doing. When Dr/ Nelson is finished, I provide home care instructions, check that our patient is happy with how everything went, and make sure theyre smiling and pleased.
