i Love Serving Smiles
Dr. Scott A. Watterson, DDS
Vision
My attitude toward dental care has evolved over my 25 years of practice. It’s why I am now convinced that, at it’s core, all dental care is cosmetic dentistry. I’ve seen cosmetic dentistry make a profound difference in the lives of my patients, including both my mom and dad.
It is cosmetic dentistry that inspired me to rise above commonplace dental care and find ways that I can change the lives of every patient who chooses my practice.
History
Dr. Watterson grew up in Jackson, Michigan watching his dad practice dentistry. This example had an enormous impact on his decision to pursue dentistry. He watched his father serve patients and improve their lives. Dr. Watterson graduated from Western High School in Parma, just outside Jackson. He then completed his undergraduate studies at Taylor University in Indiana, and Spring Arbor University in Michigan. Dr. Watterson received his Doctorate in Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 1998.
He was one of only two in his dental school graduating class to go directly into private practice following graduation from dental school. Dr. Watterson established his practice in Jackson, Michigan, out of a desire to give back to the hometown that had given so much to him. He considers it a blessing to work with a caring, dedicated team, as he follows in his father’s footsteps.
Following graduation, Dr. Watterson has continued to pursue advanced continuing education from the best dentists and academies across the country.
Dr. Watterson’s wife, Taryn, is also a Jackson native. Together, they have four incredible children. Dr. Watterson has enjoyed participating in their activities as they grew up; and is now excited to watch them as they begin spreading their wings into adulthood. He and Taryn also enjoy volunteering at their church, within the community, and has been chosen as one of Jackson’s Health Care Angels.
