Minden · Carson Valley, Nevada
Modern dentistry, rooted in Carson Valley
Honest recommendations, upfront pricing, and care that's planned around you — from a hometown practice at the base of Job's Peak.
How we work
Dentistry that starts by listening
Your goals set the plan
There's no standard-issue treatment plan here. We take the time to understand what you actually want, then build a path that fits your health, your budget, and your timeline.
Comfort comes standard
Blankets and gentle technique for anxious patients. We take the time to get you thoroughly numb, we go at your pace, and we stop whenever you ask. If it's been years since your last visit, you'll be met with zero judgment.
A familiar practice, a new chapter
Nearly two decades of caring for Carson Valley smiles
Previously known as Seyfried Dental Arts, this practice has served Minden and Gardnerville families for nearly two decades. Dr. Boatman and the team are proud to carry that legacy forward, with the same neighbors-first approach. You'll still see the Seyfried Dental Arts name on our sign and on your billing statements for the time being — that is the paperwork catching up, nothing more. Same building, same team, same phone number. We operate as Boatman Dental. Whether you're due for a cleaning or ready for a bigger change, you'll find dentistry that treats you like a person, not a chart number.
Meet your dentist
Dr. Tanner Boatman
Dr. Boatman believes great dentistry starts with listening. His approach is simple: explain clearly, recommend honestly, and never pressure a patient into treatment they don't need or want.
When he's not in the operatory, you'll find him in the mountains and deserts that make this valley home — snowboarding the Carson Range or riding dirt bikes with family and friends.
