Dr. Nelson, DDS, MBA
Dentist

​​

​

It is rewarding to have the ability to improve your smile and help you feel better. Truth be told, Dr. Nelson was scared of his dentist as a child and it has been our mission here to alleviate those same apprehensions for each patient. 

 

Graduating in 2011 at the world-renown Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. This university has trained Dr. Nelson to be accomplished in all-things dental from comprehensive dental planning, esthetics, crowns and fillings, root canals, extractions, dentures and implants.

​

He first started working in community health centers in Macomb, Illinois and Grants Pass. These environments provided crucial experience in treating a myriad of complications not regularly seen in private practice. Dr. Nelson continues to travel all over the world providing dental humanitarian services to third-world countries. Locally he has supported the local Children's Museum of Southern Oregon in creating a dental exhibit for children to experience dentistry in a fun environment and for years had been the official dentist of the Miss Oregon Volunteer Pageant. 

Dr. Nelson looks forward to being your dentist for many decades in Central Point.​​

​

 

My goal is to make your dental visit comfortable and provide the dental care you have always expected. Your smile is our priority.  

                                                                               --Dr. Nelson​

I love being in the dental field and am so excited to further my education and career. Outside of work I love to spend time with my family. I especially love to be outdoors or in the gym weightlifting.

Mandy

Office Manager

 

I started in dentistry as an office manager in 2003 and shortly after received my dental assistant/radiology certification so I was cross trained to help in all aspects of the dental office. What I love most about my job is the relationship I have been able to build with our patients. Outside of work I like spending time on the water boating with my family or watching my children in their different sports.
