Our only focus is on our patients and their individual needs. Specializing in personalized dental care and the treatment of orofacial pain and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (commonly known as TMJ), we designed our practice with our patients best interests in mind: getting individually designed oral health care, provided by a team that is qualified, knowledgeable, and compassionate. With us, youll never feel like another number being rushed through the healthcare assembly line.
We want to change our patients perceptions of dentistry through our cutting-edge technology, techniques, and treatments. As a practice, we strive to be perpetual students, and to never be complacent or satisfied with what we have already learned.
At Nathan M. Anderson, DMD, want to be known specifically for our outstanding customer care. We want to be considered the experts in the area for cases involving migraine, TMJ, and cosmetic dentistry, and we will be worthy of those titles through our continual education and dedication to excellence.
I grew up in a family of eight kids. One of the highlights of my early years was having my twin sister beat me in a school-wide race in elementary school. Fortunately, its been mostly downhill sledding from that earlier setback. Growing up in a large family, you learn the value of creating and cultivating a great team.
As a young man, there were a few role models in my life that happened to be dentists. Their examples showed me the value in dentistry as a profession and to the community as a whole. It pushed me in the direction of dentistry, and Ive never looked back.
Dental school was a fun challenge, wherein I learned the very basics of filling cavities and repairing or replacing teeth. There are, however, a few things that they dont teach you in dental school that I have learned in running my own practice.
It wasnt until a couple of years after dental school that I really began to focus on the human being that the teeth are attached to, not just the procedures that these people receive. I really started to love what I do and develop a passion for what dentistry can do for people. As corny as it sounds, I began to see dentistry as a way to improve the lives of my patients instead of simply a way to fix cavities and replace teeth.
The training and postdoctoral education required to understand and offer this level of care have taken years. Being able to help improve the lives of my patients by eliminating years of debilitating migraine pain or ending the embarrassment of not being able to smile has been incredibly rewarding. The constant improvements in technology and care keep me excited to continually improve the level of care that I bring to my patients on a daily basis.
When I am not at the office or at a continuing education conference, I am with my family. My incredible wife and I have five kids (three girls and two boys) that keep us busy. They enjoy soccer, dance, art, snake catching, wrestling, and outdoor activities. My kids motivate me to create and leave a legacy of care and integrity that they can be proud of.
At the core of our dental practice is a friendly team of professionals that are dedicated to your utmost comfort and optimal oral health. We view each patient as a unique individual and tailor each treatment to your specific needs and wants. We dedicate countless hours to continually improving the experience our patients have. If our patients are not blown away by the great way we treat them, we have fallen short of our goal.
As part of our commitment to providing close, personalized attention to every patient, we want to encourage patient communication. Please know that we are here to provide exceptional patient care and quality service.
