About Edmonds Dental by Dr. Marvin Nelson DDS

For more than two decades, Edmonds families have trusted Dr. Marvin R. Nelson, DDS for gentle, high-quality dental care just steps from the Edmonds waterfront. Our practice at 209 Dayton St, Suite 101 is built around one simple idea: treating every patient like family, with the same attention to detail and respect we would want for ourselves.

Dr. Nelson is a graduate of Creighton University School of Dentistry and has devoted his career to helping patients enjoy healthy, confident smiles at every stage of life. With many long-term patients who have been seeing him for years, he is known in the community for his experience, a light sense of humor, and a calm, down-to-earth chairside manner.

At Edmonds Dental, we offer a full range of general and preventive dentistry – from routine checkups and cleanings to fillings, crowns, and restorative treatments. Our focus is always on prevention first, so you can keep your natural teeth strong and avoid more extensive procedures whenever possible. When treatment is needed, we take time to explain your options clearly and design a plan that fits your health, schedule, and budget.
