Our Trusted Emergency Dentist Near You  

Dr. Bessmer is a highly passionate and dedicated dentist with a wealth of experience and education. With a DDS degree from the University of Nebraska Medical Center and a Biochemistry degree from Hillsdale College, Dr. Bessmer is well equipped to handle all your dental needs.

In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters, exploring the great outdoors, vacationing in the Florida sun, and cooking together. He's also a fan of country music and cheering on his beloved Nebraska Huskers football team.

He is eager to provide you and your family with an unsurpassed experience at your new dental home!  

If you're dealing with persistent pain or sensitivity, a root canal can save your tooth and stop the discomfort. We remove the infection, clean the area, and seal it for protection. 

A cracked or broken tooth can’t wait. We restore it with a natural-looking crown that protects the remaining structure and brings back full function, often completed in just two visits. 

Whether it’s a damaged tooth or a severe infection, extractions are sometimes the best option. We make the process quick and smooth and guide you through your next steps afterward. 

“An amazing experience. Haven’t been to the dentist in years due to bad experiences and finally had to find a new one due to a broken tooth. They got me in the next day and were so nice and helped me in any way they could. i go back next week to establish care with them. Would recommend to anyone in need of a dentist.” 

- Riley P.

“Due to a change in insurance, we had to change dentists. We are so happy with True Dental and feel very grateful to have found them. The receptionist, the hygienist, and our dentist are so friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. I was at ease the minute I walked in, and it just got better from there.” 

- Sandi B.
