Our Mission:
We provide our patients with complete oral health care, including restoration and rehabilitation, in a personal, friendly, caring environment. We take the time to get to know our patients, and will
answer all questions you may have about procedures and options - we prefer fully informed patients. Our
goal is to assist you in maintaining the best smile for the longest possible time.
About Dr. Wadkins:
Dr. Wadkins received a BSEE (Electrical Engineering) with a CS (Computer Science) minor from the University of Idaho and spent a number of
years designing computers with IBM. He then returned to school and received his DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) from the
University of Minnesota, where he served as class and dental school student body president. Dr. Wadkins has extensive
Continuing Education (CE) experience. This includes a surgical residency at the Misch International Implant Institute,
Conscious Sedation training (to sedate patients via IV during procedures), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), advanced Endodontic training,
and numerous small detail courses.
Dr. Wadkins and his wife have maintained a residence in Rochester for a number of years, and have one child left in the public school system.
He has served on the Rochester Airport Zoning board, and has a commercial pilot's license. While he lists flying, water skiing, and
other interests, he finds that youth soccer is becoming the "family" activity. He volunteers regularly as a referee for youth and adult soccer.
About our Staff:
