Dr. Tim Anderson founded Missouri River Dental as a startup private practice in Bismarck, ND. After receiving his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, he completed his general practice residency at Hennepin County Medical Center (Level 1 Trauma Center).
His practice and philosophy are grounded in the belief that technology helps dentists to work smarter, have more fun, and ignite their passion for their business, all while improving the patient experience and achieving better clinical outcomes. He leverages CAD/CAM, CBCT, 3D printing, and CO2 laser technology to deliver comprehensive, quality oral health care that is patient-centered.
In addition to clinical dentistry, Dr. Anderson maintains a leadership role within the dental profession and lectures on various dental technology topics around the country. He is a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) in the areas of dental lasers and 3D Printing.
He invests his time and knowledge as a faculty member at 3D Dentists to help other dental professionals nationally discover what digital technology can do for their practice.
