Dr. Brett Nielsen DDS

Dr. Matthew Cross, DDS was born in Texas but raised in Idaho. Thankfully he found his way back home. He has been married for 7 years to his amazing wife Chelsea and has two wonderful children Dr. Cross attended BYU-Idaho University where he pursued his undergraduate studies after serving in a two-year church mission in Argentina. Dr. Cross then went on to obtain his DDS from the University of Utah School of Dentistry. He’s also fluent in Spanish and enjoys the opportunity to talk with patients in Spanish whenever possible. He enjoys the opportunity that dentistry gives him to sit down and help patients become confident with their smiles. Other than dentistry, his hobbies include boating, traveling with family and friends, and skiing in the snowy mountains.

As a dentist, I am daily reminded of how important and rewarding my profession is. Being able to give my patients healthy and beautiful smiles is not only beneficial to their overall health, but it also vastly improves their confidence and self-esteem. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of North Texas in Biological Science with minors in Chemistry and Spanish. I then completed my Doctorate of Dental Surgery Degree at the University of Texas Health Science Center, in 2001. Following graduation, I enrolled into a residency program at Great Lakes Naval Base, in Illinois, and completed my post-doctoral training in Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD). I was born in Athens, Greece where my father was stationed with the US Navy. I moved to Texas in 1989. I am married with two children and a golden retriever. Outside the office, I have fun doing various outdoor activities, like mountain biking and jogging.
