Implant Dentistry
Implant dentistry at Great Plains Dental provides long-term solutions for missing teeth using advanced technology. Our dentists specialize in single-tooth and multiple-tooth implants that mimic natural teeth in appearance and function. Patients benefit from improved confidence in speaking, chewing, and aesthetics, with implants designed to last many years. The procedure involves a thorough evaluation to ensure optimal placement and integration with existing dental structures.
Orthodontics
We offer orthodontic treatments for children, teens, and adults, including traditional braces, Invisalign, and functional appliances. Our customized approach addresses crowded teeth, misalignment, and bite issues to enhance oral health and aesthetics. Early intervention and comprehensive care options ensure patients achieve straighter teeth and healthier smiles at any age, with a focus on comfort and efficiency.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services include teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, and bonding to improve the appearance of smiles. Free consultations help patients choose treatments tailored to their goals, such as stain removal or reshaping teeth. Advanced techniques ensure natural-looking results that boost confidence and address discoloration, gaps, or irregular shapes.
Children's Dentistry
Great Plains Dental provides kid-friendly dental services, including cleanings, exams, and fluoride treatments, to establish lifelong oral health habits. Our team creates a welcoming environment with televisions in treatment rooms and rewards for cooperation. Early monitoring of growth and development ensures timely intervention for any emerging dental issues.
Sleep Appliance Therapy
We specialize in oral appliance therapy for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Custom-fitted devices keep airways open during sleep, offering a non-invasive alternative to CPAP machines. Patients experience reduced daytime fatigue and improved sleep quality, with follow-up care to ensure optimal appliance fit and effectiveness.

Very profit driven practice! They plan work on you based on what is most profitable for them, and not what is the most beneficial for patient. Putting crown where filling can work well is Dr. Nelson's specialty. Hygienist behaves like a brain surgeon, shows attitude, and it takes her 90 minutes to finish cleaning. Seriously. And they will x-ray you all the time and for no reason Update: To tooth where Dr. Nelson wanted to put crown on was fixed by another dentist - just white filling, and it is still in great shape 4 years after.

Hadn't gone to the dentist in like 5 years and they made the experience pleasant and educational. Dental hygienist cleaned my teeth and it didn't hurt one bit! Definitely will continue going here.

I can't say enough about the staff and Dr. Nelsen. Been going there for years and it's definitely the greatest dental office my family and I have been to! They are fun, polite, respectful, talkative, service is awesome, discuss options for dental treatment if needed. They are my dental family!

Haven't been to the dentist in forever thought i was going in for the initial check up and cleaning, instead got referred somewhere else to take care of problems before they can do anything, then was told i couldnt drive home because i was falling asleep, i guess working overnight with sleep apnea means i have the ability to stay awake

I've seen Dr Nelsen a few times now and cannot say enough good things. He and everyone else on staff is incredibly nice, thorough, and efficient. I havent had to have anything retouched or redone, it's WAY less uncomfortable than any other dentist ive seen and they're truly so kind. My 2 year old daughter has also been seen here and she also had a great appointment. Would recommend them to absolutely anyone.
