David Christensen DMD, MS
It all started when the Midwest winds blew the stork off course from Hawaii to deliver me to a hospital in Oklahoma City, OK. Since that time, I have called many places home. Raised under the bright lights of the Las Vegas strip by loving parents, I enjoyed spending time with my 6 brothers, playing high school sports, and exploring the great outdoors. During college, I spent the summers working cattle, mending fences, and fishing for catfish on my family’s farm outside of Cameron in Northwestern MO, and the rest of the year I had my nose in the books. While in college I met the girl of my dreams, Jada, a beautiful “southern belle†from Charleston, SC. Meanwhile, I also managed to get a Bachelors degree in Animal Science.
I then attended dental school at the Medical University of South Carolina and graduated 4 years later in the top of the class with honors. I was invited to membership in OKU, the National Dental Honor Society. I then spent 2 additional years at Marquette University in “Packer†country acquiring a Masters degree and a certificate in Orthodontics and Dental Facial Orthopedics. At Marquette, I was trained in new methods and techniques that can make orthodontic treatment easier and more efficient. As lady luck would have it, the Midwest winds began to blow again and they led me to find a successful practice with locations in Kansas City and St. Joseph, Missouri. Myself, my wife Jada, and my 3 sweet children absolutely love it out here on the frontier close to family, friends, and the farm!
