Dr. Douglas Sandquist joined Sandquist Dentistry in 1998, continuing the practice his father, David B. Sandquist, DDS, founded in Las Vegas in 1968. Nearly three decades in, he’s built his own reputation around restorative and cosmetic dentistry: the cases that need real problem-solving, not just routine care.
A Focus on the Complicated Cases
Some of the most rewarding work in dentistry is putting a difficult case back together: a full mouth rehabilitation, a bite that’s been out of alignment for years, or a smile that needs more than a single procedure to get right. Dr. Sandquist specializes in exactly this kind of comprehensive, restorative work, often taking on patients that other offices have referred out.
The Jaw and the Bite
He has done extensive postgraduate education in the jaw and the bite, and that work runs through a large part of the practice: TMJ and TMD, worn and collapsing bites, and full mouth reconstruction. He is not an orofacial pain specialist and does not describe himself as one. What he brings is the diagnostic ability to work a jaw problem through with a patient, often to resolution, and a willingness to refer when a case looks beyond what he should be treating.
Philosophy of Care
- Every treatment plan starts with genuinely getting to know the patient, not just the tooth.
- Care decisions belong to the patient and their dentist, not an insurance company.
- Start with the reversible option. Anything that cannot be undone should be the conclusion of a diagnosis, not the way of arriving at one.
- Technology and technique should serve an individualized plan, built around your pace and your budget.
“I wish Sandquist Dentistry could run every company, or government function, I deal with.”

Beyond the Practice
Outside the office, Dr. Sandquist is an avid landscape photographer, and the same patience and eye for detail that goes into a full mouth rehabilitation shows up on location too, chasing the right light across some of the world’s more remote places.
