Brief Intro

Dr. Matthew Nelson has been voted a top Cosmetic and General Dentist multiple times by Phoenix Magazine over his 15+ year career. He is the 5th person in his family to go to dental school and he likes to say he was born to be a dentist.

Originally from Seattle, Washington, Dr. Nelson finished his undergraduate work at the University of Washington early in 3 years and attended dental school at Virginia Commonwealth University.

With an office located in the Scottsdale area, Dr. Nelson most enjoys helping patients overcome their fear of dentists using dental sedation.

Dr. Nelson also combines his talents with the work of a skilled dental restoration artist to create porcelain veneers and other advanced treatments that take the field of cosmetic dentistry to the next level.

Each treatment here at the practice of Dr. Nelson is custom-tailored to the individual patient for results that work for his or her unique needs. After all, no two smiles are alike, and therefore there are no one-size-fits-all procedures.

Dr. Nelsons’ practice offers a comprehensive array of treatment options, including general, cosmetic, and restorative dental care procedures, to help you maintain both the health and appearance of your teeth and gums.

His office is designed with your comfort in mind, and numerous amenities are available, including sedation dentistry techniques, to help you relax during your visit.

Ultimately, Dr. Nelson is committed to giving you a bright and beautiful smile that is a reflection of your own unique personality – a smile that enhances your teeth as well as your self-confidence.

Dr. Nelson currently resides in Paradise Valley with his wife and 3 kids. He loves living in the Valley of the Sun and feels there’s no place he would rather be!
