Q: How does Dr. Nelson keep up to date on all of the current techniques and materials?

A: Dr. Nelson is dedicated to the concept of lifetime learning. In fact, he's logged over 1600 hours of postgraduate education beyond dental school, or about 55 hours per year; far beyond the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners' required 12 hours annually. As an active, perpetual student, he's convinced that a 'completed' education marks the end of a vibrant, progressive practice.

Dr. Nelson is a Master of the Academy of General Dentistry receiving this award in 2004. Since the inception of the Academy in 1956, the Academy has only recognized 1900 dentist with the mastery award. The academy has over 37,000 members nationwide. Dr Nelson has been named "Business Person of the Year" for 2004 by the Greenville Chamber of Commerce and is a member of the American Dental Association, the Texas Dental Association, the 5465 Study Club, the North Texas Interdisciplinary Study Group and many other professional organizations.

As a team and as individuals, we make it our responsibility to be familiar with the latest techniques and materials available.
