NEVADA DENTAL ARTS - Key Persons
When Tomas Kutansky, DDS said "I Do", he not only became part of a new family, he also became a member of his new family's profession-dentistry. His wife comes from a long line of dentists and Dr. Kutansky soon discovered he also had a passion for helping patients' improve their health through dental care.
In 2012, Dr. Kutansky teamed up with Dr. Ferguson to open Nevada Dental Arts in Fallon, NV. He is proud to be a part of a dental practice that is kind, caring and has a strong sense of community. And, keeping with the family tradition of dentistry, his wife is also a hygienist at Nevada Dental Arts. Prior to receiving his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Loma Linda University, he held a Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene from the same university. He also served in the United States Army as a Combat/Medical Specialist in Active Duty for eight years.
Dr. Kutansky completed the Honors Program in IV Sedation and Oral Surgery which enables him to hold a current State of Nevada IV Sedation License and perform oral surgery in his office. Today, Dr. Kutansky is a firm believer in preventative dentistry. In fact, his mantra is prevention is easier and cheaper than the cure. He urges, and supports, all patients to take an active role in their oral health.
Dr. Kutansky has called Fallon home since 1994 and when he's not seeing patients, you might find him out hunting, riding his Harley Davidson or traveling. He enjoys spending time with his wife, daughter and their schnauzer, Charlie.
Dr. Ferguson is your hometown dentist. He represents his family's 6th generation to be raised in Fallon. After graduating from Churchill County High School, he went on to obtain his Bachelor Degree at the University of Nevada, Reno and then his Dental Degree from Loma Linda University in Southern California. Dr. Ferguson's fascination in the mechanics of dentistry combined with his desire to care for people were the driving forces behind his decision to become a dentist. And bringing the latest in dental technology to the town he's always called home was his inspiration to open Nevada Dental Arts in Fallon. He enjoys the fact that many of his friends have become patients, and likewise, many of his patients have now become friends.
Dr. Ferguson completed additional education and training at Loma Linda University to receive his Intravenous Conscious Sedation Certificate. This certificate permits Dr. Ferguson to administer dental anesthesia and sedation required for oral surgery at the office of Nevada Dental Arts. Our patients can therefore have surgery done close to home in Fallon rather than needing to travel out of town for certain procedures.
