Dr. Royce grew up in the Treasure Valley, graduating from Valley View High School before obtaining his undergraduate degree at Eastern Oregon University and his dental degree at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry. He is committed to continuing education and has experience and education in orthodontic treatments, dental implants, and root canals. His most recent training in conscious IV sedation allows him to offer more treatment in complete comfort, all right here in our office.
Dr. Royce lives by the mantra attention to detail. He will always put his patients needs first and foremost. When not in the office, he loves spending time with his beautiful wife Paloma and their seven children as well as attending their lacrosse and soccer games, skiing, and snowboarding. He is an avid fly fisherman and enjoys hunting and camping.
When Dr. Wagner was eight, a combination of unlimited candy (thanks to his paper route) and an apparent unwillingness to wiggle his tooth led to the need for an extraction. He thought it was cool that he could actually hear the tooth coming out of his mouth but couldnt feel anything! His fascination with the process blossomed into a career dedicated to helping patients with their own dental needs.
Dr. Wagner received his undergraduate degree at Brigham Young University and his dental degree at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry. Since then, hes made it his lifes work to help patients with dental pain or dental health problems. Advanced training in cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, and a few other specialized areas has given Dr. Wagner and our practice the tools we need to help provide better care for our patients, resulting in healthy smiles they are proud to share with everyone.
Dr. Wagner, his wife Leslie, and their four incredible children love living in the Treasure Valley. They like to spend their time outside, whether thats hiking in the foothills, rafting on the Boise River, or skiing at Bogus Basin. Youll find them on bikes a lot, especially as hes grown quite fond of competitive cycling.
In order to provide the highest level of service, we have selected a team that is not only competent, but unusually warm and friendly. People like this are not easy to find. We are very fortunate to have built such a quality team. Youll notice the difference on your first visit!

My husband got COVID because the nurses didn't wear mask. We have been extra careful and haven't gone anywhere but this place the past week. Wish they took virus serious.

Everything is good about this place . Did my braces here. The entire process was long but Dr Royce and the team did fantastic job. Dental procedures are painful anyway but the team here makes sure to not make it more painful. Quite friendly environment and quite professionals I must say. Would definitely recommend

Great dental service from cleanings to crowns and braces, they do it all. The staff is friendly and honest! Masks are mandatory and temperature screenings are done at entry.

It appears my last review was posted under someones name who was previously logged into the computer. I will repost so you can see that I was in fact a patient. I called this office to make an appointment as my gums had recently started bleeding and hurting. I asked to make an appointment with the dentist so I could be evaluated. They informed me that to see the dentist I needed to have a cleaning first, and then the dentist would come into see me. I informed them that my teeth had been cleaned about 8 months earlier. They continued to insist that I needed to schedule a cleaning first. I finally relented and agreed to get a cleaning so I could see the "doctor". I went in, had my cleaning, then waited to be evaluated by the dentist. Dr. Royce came in and spent less than 2 minutes with me and said everything was fine. I insisted that something was wrong as my gums just one day to the next started hurting and bleeding. Nothing a good cleaning wont take care of he insisted. Fast forward 10 days....I am still in pain and my gums are bleeding worse. I get in to see a periodontist, where I should have gone in the fist place. He informs me that I have a very bad gum infection and puts me on a prescription mouthwash and oral antibiotic. Four days later everything resolved. Modern dental was more concerned about getting the money for the cleaning than they were with diagnosing my gum infection. I would beware of this practice.

Had a great experience. Was the first time to the dentist in a while, and they did an excellent job. The hygienist (Tiffany), Dr. Wagner and his aid (Melanie) were all great!

Great place to get your dental work done. Very attentive to your needs and values your time as much as they value their own meaning in and out very quickly. The doctors and assistants are very nice and made my normally unpleasant visits to a dentist very enjoyable. Especially with the nitrous!

Modern Dental was able to take me at the last minute on a day when I had a really bad toothache. The problem was diagnosed and treated shortly after I arrived. Pain was gone by the time I left the office and I was eating normally that evening. The staff is friendly, professional and highly competent. I'm really thankful to Modern Dental for helping me at a time when I really needed it.
