About Dr. Duston
Dr. Melissa Duston is originally from Spicer, Minnesota. She is a busy mother of 3 children and a proud owner of two ragdoll cats, Thor and Loki. She enjoys traveling to Minnesota to spend time with her friends and family. She has been practicing for almost 20 years and is committed to continuing education and community service in the dental field. She has completed the entire curriculum at the Dawson Academy and has volunteered as a restorative dentist at the Mission of Mercy. She has served as past president of the Monadnock Dental Society in New Hampshire and is proficient in all aspects of general dentistry, and particularly enjoys oral surgery, restorative, and cosmetic procedures.
Dr. Duston says she loves, "the ability to make a real, immediate difference in people's lives. Whether it's relieving pain, restoring a smile, or helping someone feel more confident. I get to combine hands-on skill with personal connection every day. Building long-term relationships with patients and seeing their oral health improve over time is incredibly rewarding, and no two days are ever exactly the same."
