Dr. Brian Hettinger, D.D.S.
Dr. Hettinger graduated from T.F Riggs High School in Pierre, SD in 2004. After graduation, he enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Minnesota. He then moved to Park City, UT to cook professionally before going back to school at the University of Utah, where he received a bachelor’s degree in Peace and Conflict Studies in 2017. He then went on to attend the University of Utah School of Dentistry in pursuit of his dream to become a dentist, graduating in 2021.
Dr. Hettinger met his wife, Nikki, during graduate school and they wed in Park City, UT in 2020. After graduating from dental school, he decided to return to his South Dakota roots and move to the Black Hills area. Brian and Nikki spend their free time hunting, playing with their dogs, running, hiking, competing in CrossFit, backpacking, and taking care of their new baby.
They enjoy the South Dakota lifestyle and enjoy serving the community. Dr. Hettinger is committed to providing the highest quality patient care with honesty and integrity.
