About Powers Family Dental Care
At Powers Family Dental Care, we believe patients deserve more than routine treatment. Our practice combines advanced clinical training, modern technology, and a conservative, patient-centered philosophy to help every patient receive thoughtful, personalized care.
Clinical focus
Better diagnosis, clearer planning, and care that fits the patient.
We are an independently owned practice committed to doing what is best for each patient. That means thoughtful diagnosis, careful treatment planning, continuing education, and a level of personal attention that helps patients feel informed, comfortable, and cared for.
Dr. Powers has invested extensively in post-doctoral and continuing education to strengthen diagnosis, treatment planning, and long-term clinical outcomes.
We recommend care thoughtfully and honestly, with treatment plans tailored to each patient's goals, needs, and overall oral health.
From digital imaging to scanning and advanced diagnostic tools, our technology supports more precise, efficient, and comfortable care.
Our office combines high-level dentistry with the comfort, familiarity, and personal connection of a neighborhood family practice.
Dr. Nathan Powers was born and raised in Cincinnati. After graduating from Saint Xavier High School, he attended the University of Colorado, where he earned a degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. He later worked in research at the University of Cincinnati, contributing to publications that advanced knowledge and treatment related to prostate cancer, before earning his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Kentucky.
Today, Dr. Powers brings that scientific background, ongoing clinical training, and patient-centered philosophy to Powers Family Dental Care, where he is committed to helping patients receive thoughtful, individualized care in a welcoming environment.
He has also participated in volunteer dental service locally, internationally, and through Remote Area Medical (RAM) relief events, reflecting a broader commitment to caring for people well.
Outside the office, Dr. Powers enjoys spending time with his wife and children, Cincinnati life, local events, and staying connected to the community he has always called home.

Dr. Powers earned Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry after completing 500 hours of continuing education between 2016 and 2020 and passing a rigorous written examination. In 2020, the AGD reported that only 6% of practicing dentists held this distinction.
Why this matters for patients
It reflects a serious commitment to continuing education, stronger clinical judgment, and staying current in the science and practice of dentistry.
Dr. Powers completed advanced post-doctoral training through the Kois Center, a respected educational program for practicing dentists founded by prosthodontist Dr. Jon Kois. This training adds to hundreds of hours of additional education focused on diagnosis, treatment planning, and predictable outcomes.
Why this matters for patients
This advanced training supports more comprehensive and thoughtful care in areas such as full-mouth reconstruction, smile design, and evaluation and treatment of TMD-related concerns.
Our office uses modern dental technology to support more precise diagnosis, better treatment planning, and a more comfortable patient experience.
Cone beam computed tomography provides detailed 3D imaging that can support guided dental implant placement, root canal therapy, and evaluation of pathology.
Digital systems help us evaluate oral health efficiently, keep records organized, and support more modern care planning.
For many patients, digital scanning can improve comfort and reduce the need for traditional impressions, especially for those with a strong gag reflex.
Soft tissue laser technology can help support certain restorative procedures, pathology-related evaluations, and gum contouring when appropriate.
Ultrasonic scaling and air polishing technology supports thorough, comfortable hygiene care and helps remove buildup and surface stain.
Our team includes long-standing staff members who help patients feel welcome, comfortable, and known throughout their visits.
