Greetings from (perhaps) the happiest dental care office on earth! (Were not positive about the earth part, but we certainly are happy!) This may sound strange, but our teams primary goal is to have fun. We always strive to provide a cheerful environment, while offering the best dental care possible. To achieve these objectives, our dental care patients must be relaxed, comfortable and happy, too. Even one unhappy patient means an unhappy office, and we cant abide by that. Our offices motto is; Dentistry shouldnt be scary. Be nice, dont hurt anyone, dont make anyone uncomfortable and the patients will appreciate our service. We understand that receiving dental care is difficult for the great majority of patients because of fear, or the idea of a painful experience.

So, how do we turn the fearful into the cheerful, and thus achieve our goals? By carefully listening to your fears and desires. By applying a cherry-flavored gel to numb your gums, so injections, given slowly and gently, dont hurt. By offering conscious sedation (where Halcion, AKA Triazolam is used to make you relaxed and create amnesia so you probably wont remember), should you desire. By promising to instantly stop care when you tell us. In short, by each of us focusing all of our attention and effort on our patients well being and happiness. Our mission, in all, is to keep our patients smiling a happy, healthy smile.

Our dental office is outfitted with the greatest, most convenient dental technology available to provide more dental treatment options for the patient. For example, laser dentistry is an advancement that allows us to treat a wide variety of dental conditions in new and improved ways. Tissues heal faster, bacterial levels remain lower, and ulcers clear up in a fraction of the time with the aid of our dental laser..

Digital dental x-rays, like digital cameras, have become the industry standard imaging platform. Digital dental x-rays are faster, much higher resolution, and provide dental treatment insights that are impossible otherwise. We love to show our patients digital x-rays of their teeth to bring to life the diagnosis and treatment options we can provide.

These are only a few examples of our high-tech dental tools at our disposal. Seward Smiles continuously stays on the cutting edge of dental technology to ensure that all dental procedures are done in the most skillful and efficient way.

He is passionate about developing a lifelong relationship with his patients and always putting their best interests first. When he is not working or spending his free time advancing his knowledge of dentistry, he enjoys fishing, skiing, golf, and hanging out with his golden retriever, Bob. Dr. Murphy is a die hard Nebraska Cornhusker fan and attends most home football games.

I have wanted to be a healthcare provider since age 8. My mom worked in a university hospital and I remember walking around seeing doctors and nurses everywhere and I really liked it. Following my junior year in undergrad, I learned more about dentistry and I decided it was a great fit for me so here I am.

I would say both of those answers are connected. Many people have had a bad dental experience at some point in their life and as a result, are very scared and anxious about going to the dentist. While gaining their trust is a challenge, reaching that point in the relationship with a patient is the most rewarding part of the job.

I love to workout and try to go to the gym everyday. My two main hobbies are bass fishing and golf. If anyone can suggest a cure for my slice off the tee Im open to suggestions. I also love to ski and try to go whenever I can.

Dr. Landholm grew up in Columbus, Nebraska and attended Nebraska Wesleyan University for my undergraduate degree. I studied biology, chemistry and business, and played baseball for the Prairie Wolves. I just earned my degree from Creighton University Dental School in May 2018.

I hope to develop relationships with my patients that can last a lifetime. My path to dentistry started when I would go to my family dentist in Columbus and see generations of families still coming to him from cities all across Nebraska after years of moving away. Getting to know patients while delivering a healthy smile people can be proud of has always been my goal.

When Im not in the office I enjoy golfing, playing softball, spending time with my fiance, Ali, and trying to keep up with my two nephews. I bleed Cornhusker red and have grown to be a classic Jaysker after spending four years attending Creighton basketball games. I look forward to practicing in Seward as Ive missed the people and atmosphere you get in a smaller community. I cant wait to meet the patients with a smile and a helping hand.

Dr. Trumm grew up in Omaha, NE and attended Universirty of Nebraska-Omaha for his undergraduate studies and Creighton University for dental school. He is passionate about providing exceptional care to every patient and developing relationships with all that he provides care to.

No I cannot say I always knew I wanted to be a dentist! In high school I started to realize I wanted to work in the medical field. I initially wanted to be a Physical Therapist, then a Pharmacist before deciding dentistry was my true calling

Dentistry speaking I enjoy working with my hands. I like the immediate benefit that I can provide for someone when they are in pain. I also like the wide variety of treatments that I can provide for people. Personally I like exercising, golf, and traveling with my family. I enjoy watching the Cornhuskers play football on Saturdays in the fall as well as watching Creighton Bluejay Basketball in the winter.

Im most passionate about providing exceptional care to my patients but even more so developing and maintaining life long relationships with them. I am an enthusiastic learner and strive to become a better dentist everyday so that I can provide better care for my patients needs.

My family. One of my favorite things to do is attend and support them in their activities. I love watching them play soccer, baseball, basketball, football and dance. We love to travel and I enjoy that they can spend time with their grandparents.
