Our Story
My name is Dr. Daniel Rodda. I feel very privileged to have been given the opportunity to take over for Dr. Frank Olivas at Oasis Dental Care.
I was born in northern Indiana and spent most of my formative years in upstate New York after my family moved there when I was twelve. I went to college and Dental School at The State University of New York at Buffalo. There I met my fiancee Maria, who at the time was attending law school, also at S.U.N.Y. Buffalo. After graduation, I completed a General Practice Residency at Wishard Memorial Hospital in Indianapolis, IN. There I gained experience in many surgical and restorative procedures, along with I.V. sedation training. We moved back to upstate New York for several years. There, I ran a general dental practice as a solo practitioner. During that time I took an immense amount of continuing education courses. One of them was the Implantology Continuum at Columbia University in Manhattan. We integrated implants and grafting into the practice, along with many other specialty, cosmetic, and laser procedures. I went on to achieve a Fellowship with the International Congress of Oral Implantology. I was also awarded a Fellowship by the Academy of General Dentistry. My fiancee and I had traveled through Flagstaff several times while visiting out west. When I came across the opportunity to take over for Dr. Olivas, we jumped on it! Flagstaff is an amazing community with so much to do, and the people are so nice. We feel very fortunate to be able to call Flagstaff our new home.
I am truly passionate about my work and enjoy creating a caring and compassionate environment for patients to receive the excellent dental care they deserve. My philosophy is to work one-on-one with each patient. I believe in taking time to truly understand your individual needs and goals. I also feel that it is important to take the time to explain what is entailed in dental procedures and why they are necessary.
While I offer general, family, cosmetic, preventative, and restorative dentistry, your treatment will always be focused on increasing your overall health and quality of life. In addition, each year I continue to take many courses in continuing education to provide my patients with cutting-edge dentistry treatments and technologies. I want to give my patients the very best smile and oral health possible!
Outside the office, I enjoy snowboarding, hiking, traveling, and cooking. I even make my own beef jerky. Ask me about it! I truly look forward to meeting you and providing you and your family with high-quality, personalized dental care.
Sincerely,
Dan Rodda, DDS
