Russell Peterson, DDS

Dr. Russ Peterson grew up outside of St. Cloud in the country, where he learned to enjoy fishing, skiing, snowmobiles, cars, and just being outside. He attended St. John’s University and then the University of Minnesota to receive his DDS degree in 2008. Upon graduating dental school, he did a 1 year Residency at Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC), where he worked side by side with dental specialists and oral surgeons, to further educate and learn advanced skills in oral surgery, trauma, special needs dentistry, and medical management of patients with complex and usually life-threatening conditions. It was an experience and knowledge basis that can only be described as priceless, and a good fit for what he brings to his patients and our office.

Dr. Peterson's enthusiasm for dentistry and his desire to bring the highest quality dental care to his patients has led him to implement paperless charting, digital x-rays, new materials, techniques, surgical implant placement, and now cone-beam (or 3 dimensional) x-rays. He has advanced his training at places like the Zimmer Institute for implant training, White Cap Institute for implant training, and numerous Hiossen Implant sponsored courses. With a desire to stay current and continually progress, but also a practical approach to the mouth and oral health care, Dr. Peterson strives to be a top tier provider for his patients.
