About

Dr. Nathan Baxter, DDS

Meet Dr. Baxter, a dedicated oral & maxillofacial surgeon at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Salt Lake City, UT and Denver, CO. His journey into oral surgery began during his pre-med undergraduate studies when a guest speaker, who was an oral surgeon, sparked his interest in the field. That moment shaped his career path, leading him to what he does now, providing life-changing smiles and second chances to his patients.

Having been a patient himself, Dr. Baxter understands the importance of a positive experience and is committed to providing just that. His joy in watching the transformative power of a new smile is second only to the happiness he finds in his family life.

Outside of the Office

Other Doctors

Our doctors are not just experts; they are visionaries in the field of dental implantology. With decades of surgical and restorative experience, and a passion for pioneering research, they are at the forefront of innovation.

Dr. Eric Saiz, DMD

Dr. Saiz was first drawn to the field of dentistry in high school. His mother was working as an office manager for a local dentistry at the time and shared how every day she saw this dentist make a difference in their patient’s lives. 

From then on, Dr. Saiz knew he wanted to do the same thing. He received his undergraduate in Biology at University of Nevada Las Vegas and then completed dental school in Las Vegas. 

His original plan was to go into general dentistry but he soon found that with oral & maxillofacial surgery, he would have a wide scope of different treatment to help patients and decided to pursue that route.

Following his schooling, he completed a surgical internship in Chicago County and his formal Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Residency in Detroit. 

Why Nuvia

Dr. Saiz first discovered Nuvia through colleagues of his that had joined Nuvia in order to give patients an elevated experience. After hearing how patients were getting their permanent teeth in 24 hours, he knew he had to be part of the Nuvia team in Denver.

At Nuvia Dr. Saiz is able to provide a completely different patient experience with permanent teeth in 24 hours. The traditional way of doing dental implants typically involves patients wearing a temporary acrylic denture for what could be months before getting their final teeth.

Now, Dr. Saiz’ patients don’t have to wait for months to get their smiles. They can get them 24 hours after the dental implant procedure.

Outside of the Clinic

When he isn’t working as an oral & maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Saiz enjoys spending time with his wife traveling, hiking, and riding bikes. They are also both training to be wine sommeliers.
