Dr. Nathan Thompson came to Prescott Dentistry in the summer of 2012 after having served honorably for 5 years in the US Army as both an officer (captain) and dentist. During his time in the service, he was stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas and also served overseas in both Iraq (Baghdad Camp Liberty of the Victory Base Complex) and in Germany (Ansbach, Bavaria).
While in Germany Dr. Thompson received extensive orthodontic training during a one-year internship and has completed hundreds of orthodontic cases (both traditional bracket/wire and Invisalign). As an Invisalign Preferred Provider Dr. Thompson has provided Invisalign treatment to many in our community including several of our team here at Prescott Dentistry!
Prior to his military service, Dr. Thompson received his dental training at USC where he trained 1-on-1 with the best BIOMIMETIC dental instructors in the country. Dr. Thompsons training focus was in advanced bonded composites, porcelains and minimally-invasive restorative procedures. He is also a proud NAU (Northern Arizona University) Lumberjack, where he received his Bachelors of Science in Chemistry focusing on Organic Chemistry and teaching in the O-Chem lab as a Teaching Assistant for three years. On his down time, Dr. Thompson volunteers with youth of his church and the Boy Scouts of America. He spends as much quality time as possible with his beautiful wife and five children.
Dr. Lance German earned his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Temple University in 2013. After spending years practicing his craft in the much needed community health sector he began to see some of the limitations of traditional dentistry as well as the great need for a preventative and holistic approach to oral and whole body care. In order to grow in his knowledge and training in biological dentistry, Dr. German joined the team at Prescott Dentistry in 2017 with a re-directed focus towards minimally invasive dental techniques.
While at Temple University Dr. German was a member of the Oral Surgery Honors Society and the Stomatognathic Honor Society. Dr. German also had the opportunity to volunteer in multiple dental health clinics. The experience of giving back to the community was a richly rewarding experience. After completing his training, Dr. German joined the Academy of General Dentistry and practiced dentistry in multiple private practices. After a year he found a home at the Sea Mar Community Health Clinic in Tumwater, Washington where he provided patient care for 3 years. As his time at Sea Mar was coming to an end, Dr. German and his family decided they needed more sunshine in their lives and felt guided to the Prescott area.
Dr. German and his wife have four children, ages 8 to 1. They love the wonderful variety and great adventures to be had in the Prescott area. Several years ago, they adopted a whole-foods, plant based diet and love to help others improve their health through simple diet and lifestyle changes. In his time away from the office, Dr. German is a full-time husband and father and enjoys being with his family, having outdoor adventures whenever possible and is committed to and serves faithfully in their church.
