Dr. Nate Swensen has returned to his home town of Winnemucca. He graduated as a Buckaroo and State Basketball Champion in 2002. He then went to Caracus, Venezuela and became fluent in Spanish while living there for two years. Not only did he graduate from Brigham Young University as the Valedictorian in the college of Exercise Science in 2008, he graduated Summa Cum Laude at UNLV during dental school. He also received the Outstanding Clinical Performance in Removable Prosthodontics Award from the UNLV dental faculty, and the Outstanding Dental Student in Implant Dentistry Award from the Academy of Osseointegration.
He was accepted into the Steven E. Smith Honor Society which honors students ranked in the top ten of their class. Throughout his dental career, he has been involved in multiple volunteer service clinics including Give Kids a Smile, Huntridge Teen Clinic Ferrin Memorial Veterans Clinic, and The Flying Doctors.
Dr. Swensen is committed to and has a love for dentistry. When he was five years old he told his dad he wanted to become a dentist and never waivered. Dr. Dan Debonis was his dentist growing up and shares his passion for helping people maintain a healthy living style with a happy mouth. He affirms, contrary to popular opinion, you do need to floss daily.
He continued to succeed in life by marrying his first love, Mattie , and they have two daughters; Allie, 5 and Bria, 3 months old. Together they enjoy spending time on the water or at their family cabin. Dr. Swensen recently taught Allie how to swim and is now working on front flips on the trampoline. He plays his guitar to help his baby fall asleep and can grill up a mean steak. He feels his family is one of his greatest accomplishments.
Dr. Swensen practiced dentistry in Dallas this past year and although "everything is bigger" in Texas, it certainly isn't better. He is happy to be home and looks forward to serving the community he grew up in.[[In-content Ad]]
