Dr. Nathan Desai
Nathan Desai, DMD, is originally from the suburbs of Columbus. He earned his bachelor’s degree at Miami University of Ohio and his Doctor of Dental Medicine from Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry in Philadelphia.
Dr. Desai enjoyed his time in Philadelphia, but his heart has always belonged in Columbus. In 2015, he furthered his training by completing a general practice residency at The Ohio State University during which time he advanced many skills including dental care of medically compromised patients and IV sedation dentistry.
Dr. Desai is committed to dental excellence and has spent countless hours in continuing education. He has taken a special interest in implant dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and orthodontics. He is also well educated in many aspects of dentistry including wisdom teeth extractions, sleep dentistry, and root canal treatment.
Notable accolades:
In 2016, Dr. Desai earned his IV/conscious sedation permit from the Ohio State Dental Board. He has safely performed hundreds of dental procedures under IV sedation at the office.
Since 2016, Dr. Desai has completed hundreds of hours of continuing education in implant dentistry. Notably, he has completed implant training programs at the Engel Implant Institute, Dr. Garg’s Implant Seminars, and Dr. Simon’s Surgical Master. Dr. Desai has successfully treated many patients with dental implants from single tooth replacement to full mouth rehabilitations.
In 2020, Dr. Desai completed a two-year comprehensive orthodontic program and became a Progressive Orthodontics Graduate. He has created many beautiful smiles with clear aligners and traditional braces.
In 2023 – 2024, he completed the occlusion and sleep program with Clinical Mastery Series. This strengthens his ability to diagnose, plan, and execute solutions for complex cases and full mouth rehabilitations. Additionally, Dr. Desai further understands the signs and issues sleep disordered breathing has on our oral health and what solutions dentists can provide.
In 2024, he was awarded fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. The award is given to general dentists who have a long standing commitment to continuing education. Only about 6% of general dentists are awarded the designation of AGD fellow.
