Dr. Brandon L. Nielson, DMD

Feb 2024

I was referred to Dr. Nielson in 2020 by an emergency room dentist who cleaned up a life-threatening abscess infection in my mouth caused by substandard dental care at a dental chain with the initials C.D. (As a new immigrant, I was unaware this chain of dentistry has a terrible reputation.) My infection was so severe I was rushed to the hospital after my face became so swollen I looked like the elephant woman and I developed a very high fever. At the time I was rushed to the hospital, I had no idea this was even dental related. Upon discharge from the hospital, we immediately drove to Dr. Nielsen's office. When I walked through the door looking like the elephant woman, Dr. Nielsen immediately took time to see me. He invests in the newest state-of-the art technology and took 3D images to show the severity of the infection, refer me to a reputable endodontist and create a plan to get me back to good dental health. I was blown away by his compassion when he refused to accept payment for the 3D images he took of my mouth. Dr. Nielson has a compassionate heart and genuinely cares. I have since moved my entire family over to Northern Smiles Dentistry and will remain loyal to Dr. Nielson for as long as he is practicing dentistry. What makes his practice outstanding is the technology he invests in to offer services/produces in house. He even manufactures mouth guards in house, so the wait time is shorter than dentists who outsource that manufacturing service. I cannot recommend this dentist any higher. AAAAA+++++

I visited Northern Smiles Family Dental after having an accident in the Rocky Mountains, in which I fell and knocked out pieces of both my front teeth. Since we were going to be on a road trip for the next couple of weeks, we didn't know where to go. I was extremely upset, and my boyfriend had called 1-800-dentist while we were still in the ER to see how soon I could get it taken care of. We had an appointment set up through the 1-800-dentist number at Northern Smiles Family Dental for two days later (July 5th, as everyone was closed on the 4th). We drove about an hour and a half from Estes Park, only to find out that the office was closed and that 1-800-dentist had made a scheduling error. We called the Emergency number listed for the dentist, and Dr. Nielsen answered but told us that the office was closed for the remainder of the week. Upon hearing our situation and that we had driven an hour and a half to get to him, he told us not to worry and that he would come in since he lived close by. Dr. Nielsen came in with his wife, and they were absolutely wonderful to us. Anybody else in that situation may have been frustrated about coming in on a day off, but they were both incredibly friendly, empathetic, and personable. In my best interest of keeping my costs low out of state and because we still had a couple weeks of traveling to go, he recommended just doing the fillings after looking over my x-rays. Dr. Brandon Nielsen, with the help of his lovely wife Michelle, completed my fillings in about an hour, and they look fabulous! I was so happy to have my teeth back (and my confidence). The first thing that all of my family and friends wanted to see upon my return home was how my teeth looked, and they have all been in disbelief of how "you can't even tell anything happened." I am so grateful to the kindness of Dr. Nielsen and his wife. Not only is Dr. Nielsen very good at what he does, more importantly, he is a good person. I only wish I lived closer so that I could go back! Thanks, Nielsen family!
