Nathan G. Russell, DDS, MBA

dr nathan russell cropped

I grew up in the farm country of Southern California and moved to the Seattle area in 1995 after I married my sweetheart, Brooke.

I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Washington in Cell and Molecular Biology and Finnish.

I also earned my dental degree from the University of Washington School of Dentistry. Upon graduating from dental school, I enlisted in the United States Air Force as a medical officer in the Dental Corps.

While in the military, I attended specialty residency training at Keesler Air Force Base Medical Center. This advanced training included; Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery, Endodontics, Prosthodontics, and Pedodontics.

My family and I moved to Bainbridge Island directly from my last military assignment in Turkey.

Together with my wife and five children, we are proud and involved members of our community.

Additionally, I maintain my service in the Air Force as an active reservist and enjoy serving my country and wear proudly the uniform. I look forward to working with a wonderful staff and meeting with patients at our office.

Dr. Russell Nathan is now the appointed president of the Washington State Dental Association. Read more about it here: wsda_news_issue_3_2023

There are many dentists, but none are as bodacious as Islandental. The team is like trained seals full of expert operations. They are the best dentist I have known. I'm impressed.

RUN, don't walk to this wonderful dental office.I have lived all over the country and can honestly say that I have never had such a positive experience with a dental office in my life. The front office people were just as sweet. Don't even think about another office.

Dr. Nathan Russell and his staff are fantastic! Great for adults, and patient with our little 3 year old. When our daughter was 1, she went through a period where she would throw tantrums in her highchair and smash her new little teeth on the tray making her gums bleed. After a particularly severe smack to the mouth, Dr. Russell saw her right away to make sure there was no damage to her teeth and roots and gave advice on how to make her more comfortable while everything healed. Highly recommend!

I had a pretty darn fantastic initial check-up at Supertooth. Dr. Russell was fantastic and gave me a ton of advice and next steps. Luckily this go-round I only need a cleaning, but I will be going to this dentist for the rest of my time in Seattle.Last but not least, the dental staff and front desk staff were hilarious and friendly. Seriously couldn't ask for more!

I am from out of town and needed help for a tooth that was giving me pain. Island Dental and Dr. Walker were wonderful. I would go to them as my regular dentist if I lived on Bainbridge.

I was with my last dentist for over 20 years and when I moved to Bainbridge Island I was nervous to try someone new. My experience was amazing and I feel relieved knowing I have a new dentist I can count on. Extremely professional and the entire staff had great people skills/ communication. My hygienist, Heather, literally gave me thee easiest most pain free cleaning ever! She was extremely thorough and meticulous and fun to talk to. It was the first time I left a dentist office without my mouth/gums feeling sore. Can’t wait to go back in 6 months!

Excellent dental office. I've gone here for 2 years, and had an easy time every time. The staff are accommodating to schedule constraints, gentle during cleaning, informative without scolding about recommendations, and willing go to extra steps to make things like x-rays less unpleasant.

I was a new client at IslandDental and I was lucky enough to get the newest addition to this great team of Doctors - Dr Brandon Walker. I’m embarrassed but it had been almost 2 years since my last check up. Not proud. I was able to get in a couple days after my first call to the clinic. I had 4 fillings drilled and repaired on opposite sides of my mouth. Dr Walker worked with me to come up with a care plan and I was able to get in on consecutive days to get these fillings completed. Dr Walker is very intelligible in his field and seems to have a real passion to help which in my experience isn’t always what you get with a dentist. When I had slight sensitivity afterwards in one of those spots Dr Walker recruited one of his alma-matter professors and dentists that specializes in alignment and equilibrium (I think it’s more than just that) to come in on a Sunday and do some minor shaping on my teeth. Truly above and beyond when it was not an emergency but just so I didn’t have to wait. Dr Walker and the rest of the team at IslandDental were truly fantastic and I will be back in 6 months for another cleaning. Yay!

First off I have high anxiety when vising the the dentist. This anxiety started at a very young age and kept me from going to the dentist on a regular basis as an adult. I came down with an extremely bad tooth ache that left me no other option than to seek out a dentist and I was refereed to Dr. Russell, DDS. I called for an appointment and they were able to get me in for an emergency evaluation. When I went to see Nathan Russell, DDS. he answered all my questions and gave me multiple choices. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel welcomed and relaxed in a stressful situation. Dr. Russell and his staff are top notch and I am pleased to be sharing my experience and posting a review for all those in need of an excellent dentist......Thank you ISLAND DENTAL.

You and the team are amazing at Island Dental. I was almost tempted to reschedule my appt. due to my busy day at work. Taking an earlier ferry was going to make my day a lot more flexible, enjoyable and less rushed. When I parked my car at your office and walked to the building I recalled all the many hours spent in other doctors and dentists offices, I immediately gave up hope of making the earlier ferry. The moment I walked through your door there was no wait, I didn't even break my stride as I went from the front door to your dentist chair. Even though I never mentioned I was in a hurry your entire staff made me a priority. After the fastest, yet most complete cleaning, check up and dentist visit in my life, I hurried and made it on the earlier ferry with 1 minute to spare.You set a pretty high bar there at Island Dental. Thanks for making the patient experience more of a joy and less of a patience experience.
