Dr. Nicholas Brown
Doctor of Dental Surgery
Dr. Brown was one of 6 brothers and sisters, and was raised in Wasilla, AK until he was 14 years old. He obtained his GED early so that he could work as a contractor in Japan also working in California and Texas. He even began a competitive snowboarding sponsorship, but cut it short to serve a Christian mission in England.
After his return, he met his beautiful wife, Jessie, snowboarding the backcountry pass of Jackson Hole, WY. Together, they have 3 children; 10 yr old son, Kai, 8 yr old daughter, Taya, and 3 yr old daughter Trinlee.
Dr. Brown finished his undergraduate schooling at University of Oregon, in Lundquist College of Business Honors Program. After working in business management only a short while, he realized he had not arrived where he wanted to be. After much research, he and his wife realized that a career in Dentistry would fully utilize his various talents and his desire to make a difference. His family gave up a lot to support him through going back to school, but after just the first week, they knew it was worth it. He was almost shaking with excitement when he got home each day.
It was the beginning of a passion. Six years after quitting his stable business job to go back to school, his family celebrated with him as he graduated from Marquette University School of Dentistry in Milwaukee, WI. Since then, he has jumped into dentistry, taking countless hours of continuing education in order to fulfill his career aspirations. He has expertly provided all aspects of dentistry to his patients while helping them, through various techniques such as Conscious Sedation, to achieve optimum dental health with minimum discomfort.
Dr. Brown truly enjoys getting to know others and their cultures/beliefs. In his free time, he loves working with his hands, creating/inventing/building things and volunteering for his church and scouting. He likes snowboarding, rock climbing, wake boarding, and almost any outdoor activity or sport. Above all else, he absolutely loves spending time and doing all of the above activities with his wife and kiddos.
As excited as he and his family were to support him in his career dreams, they all felt as though a part of them was being left behind when they left the mountains. It’s been a long winding road, and they couldn’t be happier that it has ended here in the beautiful mountains of Colorado.
Dr. Brown is grateful to be an integral part of this community and, in fact, Dr. Brown has rapidly become Summit's Top Dentist for many of the more advanced dental procedures. He especially looks forward to earning your trust and friendship, helping you to achieve a smile as epic as the area we live in.

What do you Love about Relaxation Dental?
I love creating, developing, and working with the most amazing team and the most stellar people I know. I love changing lives-- The lives of our team members by creating growth and development opportunities they wouldn’t normally have access to. Changing lives of our patients by creating access to a level of compassionate, quality, care that is above and beyond anything they can get anywhere else, much less in a small town, as well as creating a safe environment where they can feel 100% trust and 0% fear. And I love making a difference, helping people at all turns. Making things/communities/people better than when we found them. We’re making a difference individually and communally and that feels good to be a part of something so good. This all might all sound a little
canned, but it’s 100% true!!! It’s exhilarating. I also love working with the best kind of people. Everyone here is hired for compassion, drive, intelligence & kindness first, and experience second. That makes for a very fun group of people to work with!!!
