Dr. Jared Nelson was born and raised in Lethbridge, Alberta, and has deep roots in the community. He attended Galbraith Elementary, Wilson Junior High, and Lethbridge Collegiate Institute, where he developed a love for sports—especially football and basketball. At age 19, he served a full-time mission in Brazil for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, an experience that helped shape his values and dedication to service.

Dr. Nelson is a proud graduate of Brigham Young University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science. He later completed a Bachelor of Management in Marketing at the University of Lethbridge before pursuing his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Marquette University School of Dentistry in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Dr. Nelson is passionate about providing high-quality, compassionate dental care. One of his personal interests within dentistry is the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). As someone who manages OSA himself, he has a unique understanding of the condition and is committed to offering effective oral appliance solutions to his patients.

Beyond his professional life, Dr. Nelson is an active member of the Lethbridge community. He served for many years as head basketball coach at his alma mater, Lethbridge Collegiate Institute, and continues to coach his daughters’ basketball and volleyball teams whenever he can. He also serves in a leadership role within his church and supports numerous community events alongside his wife, Wendy—also a Lethbridge native. Together, they have three children: Brady (married to Anna, with daughter Ella), Krista (married to Kentucky), and Harper.

When he’s not in the clinic or on the court, Dr. Nelson enjoys spending time outdoors with his family. Known for his kind, understanding, and down-to-earth nature, he is dedicated to making every patient’s dental experience a positive one.
