Robert L. Nisson, DDS MSD
I grew up in Eureka, California where my father was a general dentist. I learned from him the importance of building trusting relationships based on honesty and respect. I graduated from UC Davis where I received a Bachelor of Science degree. I began my dental education at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco where I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). After becoming a general dentist, I went on to complete specialty training in orthodontics for another two years, where I received my Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD) degree and my Certificate in Orthodontics from the University of the Pacific Orthodontic Residency Program.
I have been practicing orthodontics exclusively in Cameron Park since 1988. Since that time, I have attended numerous continuing education courses, including the Advanced Education in Orthodontics Group and the Spear Study Club, keeping abreast of the latest advancements in orthodontics.

I have lived in Shingle Springs for the past 25 years. My wife, Rene’ and I have 17-year-old triplets! We also have seven goats, one pig, three sheep, two bunnies, three cats, and two dogs. To say ours is a full house is an understatement!
I am a member of United States Masters Swimming, where I swim with the Master’s Swim Team many nights a week and compete in swim meets. I am a past President of the Suburban Swim League, a summer swim league with over 2500 swimmers. I play guitar and recently performed with two of my children at their high school choir fundraiser!
