No one loves to go to the Dentist but I really have to say I don't hate going like I used too. Dr. Chris is amazing and the staff is amazing as well. I feel lucky to have a Dentist like Dr. Chris an appreciate his expertise and mannerism. He learned from the best, his father, and will continue to see them when I need too! Thank you Nelson family Dental!!!☆☆☆☆☆ Jim Butler

Dr. Chris and Dr. Mike are the absolute best dentists that my family has ever had. They’re kind, honest, never pushy, and treat their staff beautifully. They love what they do and it shows in the books and latest science articles that they share with their patients. When they found a cavity just before I was leaving for a trip, they helped me make a plan to effectively minimize pain, stay in direct contact with Dr. Chris, and keep my teeth healthy until I came back and could get it filled. I’ve never experienced better dental care.

The state of the art technology utilized by Nelson Family Dental is impressive and rendered a painful procedure I have undergone too many times over the years completely painless. It saved time and minimized levels of anxiety to almost nil. Everyone is professional, informative and helpful. I recommend the dental office highly.

I have loved everyone in this office for over a decade now. I’ve had nothing short of exceptional service and professionalism with every encounter. Over the years, I have recommended this office to many of my colleagues and now everyone I have referred has told me how pleased they are as well. Keep up all the fabulous work and preventative care. Redding loves you!!

I've been a patient with the Nelson family for over 20 years. My parents were patients for over 20years before I joined their practice. The practice as far as I know, started with Dr. Mike as I have come into this very professional office. Something anyone considering joining this family practice should know and have comfort with their knowledge of dentistry is Dr Mike always stayed up to date with the latest information regarding dental procedures. He was always in contact with Universities and colleges, sharing his expertise in procedures. As far as I know, his son has continued with this regimen. If you need a procedure to be performed which they don't specialize in, they will only send you the the best that they are affiliated with. They carefully vet the specialist whom they are sending you to, because they only want the best for you. They have 100% of my trust in them to provide the best results possible. You will not find a better dental practice in northern California. Thank you to the Nelson family.

Nelson Family Dental is a three-generation family practice in Redding, California, started by Dr. Leon Nelson in 1960 and carried on today by his son and grandson. The office combines that long local legacy with a modern, highly detailed approach to restorative, cosmetic, implant, and comprehensive dentistry. For patients with worn, broken, missing, or failing teeth, the practice emphasizes understanding what is happening and seeing options clearly before any treatment begins. Its new patient process is designed to slow down and gather the right information, often including photos, digital scans, X-rays, a careful exam, and a separate conversation about what the doctors see.
Dental implants are part of the practice's everyday restorative work, from single front tooth implant crowns to implant dentures, snap-on dentures, and other advanced denture options. When a case calls for more than one provider, the office coordinates with trusted local specialists in periodontics, oral surgery, and endodontics, helping diagnose the problem, plan the sequence, and restore the final result. Nelson Family Dental is an insurance-independent office, meaning it is not contracted with insurance companies to limit recommendations to what a plan covers, though the team is happy to submit claims on patients' behalf. The office is located upstairs at 2710 Eureka Way and is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
Nelson Family Dental is led by Dr. Chris Nelson, DDS, who purchased the practice from his father in 2023 and now works there full time as the owner. Dr. Chris graduated from the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in 2009, the same school his father and grandfather attended, and spent the first 13 years of his career at Hill Country Health and Wellness Center, most of those years as Dental Director. His father, Dr. Michael Nelson, DDS, continues to practice one to two days a week, sharing time with patients of many years. Together they continue the family legacy begun by Dr. Leon Nelson in 1960.
