Moses Lake, WA Dentist
Meet Dr. Nick Smith
Dr. Nick Smith believes dentistry is about more than teeth; it’s about people, comfort, and helping patients enjoy life with confidence. Originally from High Point, North Carolina, Dr. Smith moved to Pocatello, Idaho, as a teenager, where his passion for serving others grew.
After completing a two-year mission in Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Smith attended Idaho State University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Biology with an emphasis in biomedical sciences. He then received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska.
Outside the office, Dr. Smith is a devoted husband to Morgan and an active father of three. Family time is central to his life, and when he’s not caring for patients, you’ll often find him with loved ones, catching a game, or exploring new restaurants. A lifelong athlete, Dr. Smith’s background in baseball instilled in him discipline, teamwork, and a drive for excellence that he brings into his practice every day.
Dr. Smith looks forward to welcoming you and your family and helping you feel confident in your smile for years to come.

Why did you become a dentist?

Where did you study dentistry?
After completing his undergraduate studies at the University of Idaho, Dr. Nick Smith attended Creighton University for dental school.
