Dr Galen Detrik

Dr. Galen Detrik was born and raised in New Mexico, and always knew he wanted to set up a practice in his home state. With a father who designs custom homes and a mother who is an artist, Dr. Detrik always wanted a profession where he could combine engineering and the arts. He believes dentistry is the perfect combination of the two. Dr. Detrik specializes in rehabilitation dentistry and making sure every patient is happy with their smile and walks out of VIDA with complete confidence. Dr. Detrik holds two patents on dental equipment of his own design. Dr. Detrik coined the term “Total Health Dentistry,” which is the central mission of VIDA Dental Studio. He says it’s about achieving just the right amount–not too much of one thing or too little of another. In other words, when health and beauty are in balance. Away from the office, Dr. Detrik loves to play flamenco guitar, garden, and spend time with his lovely wife and their two children. “Our bodies are capable of handling a great deal, but they prefer a state of natural symmetry and equilibrium, and that is what VIDA Dental Studio seeks to provide for each and every patient.” –Dr. Detrik
