Nick Mellum, DMD

I have personally known Dr. Nicholas Mellum since grade school, and knowing what I know about him, I still go to him for a teeth cleaning! Why? Gentle cleanings, accurate/​thorough consultation and friendly staff. He is an independent, support him and your teeth will thank you.

I took my brother in and he has Autism. Dr. Mellum was patient and explained everything every step of the way. He is very thourough and does excellent work. He is highly recommended in my book. The office is clean and they take sanitary precautions and they have up to date equipment. Xrays right in your chair and instant results on the computer I never saw that. thumbs up!!!

Dr. Mellum is very professional and nice. I was pretty nervous about getting my teeth looked at since it had been a while. Both he and his staff made me feel comfortable and welcome.
Scheduling has been flexible and helpful, and I have always appreciated the reminder postcard to set up my next appointment.
I would certainly recommend Dr. Mellum for you and your family.
Plus I like the brand of toothbrush he gives me!

Today I had to get a crown mold for a previous bad tooth I had fixed by another dentist. I dislike the dentist like most people. His assistant Kristi (I think) was so sweet and chatted with me making me feel more comfortable before he came in. Dr Mellum made sure I was numb and comfortable before he kept going. I like he kept checking on me and also explained every detail. I don’t remember that from others. It was also nice that they worked well together passing tools around he didn’t even have to ask she knew the tool he needed. Oh also it was nice and cool inside being it was 95 outside (have to add that :). I can say overall I had a good experience at this office. I’ve been a few times now and I will continue to go back.

Well I hate to be the one, but here goes. Dr. N. Mellum DMD PC. Told my daughter that he had put a crown on her tooth when in all actuality he put a temporary on her tooth… this was about 2 years ago. My daughter had to have that very tooth extracted yesterday in an emergency appointment due to Dr. N. Mellum’s shoddy work and lies. The tooth had simply decayed right underneath the «crown», and there was absolutely no way to save it. This tragedy could have been avoided if Dr. N. Mellum would have really done the work that he charged the insurance company for.

Thanks reviewers for pointing me toward Dr. Nick!
What can I say, Unilocalers? There are a ton of dentists out there and it’s not like you can really try them all, right? I called earlier to try to set up an appointment and they got me in today on a cancellation. The hygienist was awesome and gentle and gave me my first cleaning in ages. The front desk is pleasant and Dr. Mellum seems like a really straightforward guy who knows what he’s doing.
At this point I haven’t had anything more than a cleaning/​checkup, but I appreciate sound advice with no finger-​wagging for past tooth-​transgressions or for not being to a dentist in two years. All in all a super-​positive experience.

today i had my first appointment with dr. nick mellum. when i first saw him i was concerned. he is very young. i am guessing that he is the son of dr. michael mellum. the dentist i had had since i was knee high to a grasshopper had turned his office over to his son and i was not happy with him. but i found dr. nick to be very gentle and kind. he explained the situation with my teeth and seemed to be very concerned about doing the job correctly. today he was fixing a tooth that had a cavity but was also broken and looked horrible when i smiled. it was my main concern for this visit. he put some dentist type thingy in my mouth and after two tries found he did not like the way it was working so he changed to a different thingy. …stop me if i am going over your head with my techical jargon… i suppose he could have proceeded with the equipment that wasn’t not quite working and just got on with it rather than making sure it was really right. i was impressed with this and i took it as him being concerned with doing it correctly and turning his new patient into a regular patient.
the receptionist was not the regular one but i found her to be very nice and helpful. my contact with the hygienists was limited but they did seem to be quite nice and worked well with the dentist. she was good with the little vacuum.
the office is nothing fancy, which is a-​ok with me. i would prefer my dollars go toward repairing my smile rather than for fancy ‘feel-​good’ items to divert my attention from actually being in a dentists chair. so if you are in need of flat screen televisions, surround sound stereo headphone and/​or a soothing koi pond, this might not be what you are looking for. but if you are looking for a new dentist who seems to care about you and will give you all the options regarding your teeth not just the most expensive ones, i would suggest you check out dr. nick.
i want to thank nick b. for his review. without it, i would not have tried this dentist.
i have another appointment scheduled with this office in mid june and will update my review then.

I had a great appointment with Dr. Nick Mellum. He was able to work around my busy work schedule to get me in, his office was very comfortable and friendly and he did a great job of explaining everything that was going on and how to avoid problems in the future. I have definitely found my new dentist.
