I was raised in Coeur d’alene, ID. After graduation from high school, I continued my education at Western Kentucky University and completed my dental training at Creighton School of Dentistry. After completion of dental school, I continued my education by completing a general practice residency at the University of Nebraska.
Since dental school I have continued my education through memberships in multiple study clubs as well as attending various educational meetings, classes and seminars. I enjoy using implants, crowns/veneers, fillings, extractions and root canals to improve peoples smiles, restore their function and get them out of pain. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children, camping, skiing, running, biking or watching a Gonzaga basketball game.

Colton Niblack, DDS
Born and raised in Mill Creek, WA. Went to dental school in Boston, MA. Mom, Dad, and sister still live in Mill Creek. I currently have almost no hobbies since being freed from dental school (haha), but I have enjoyed hiking, camping, and sports my entire life, and am eager to resume doing them. I often find myself at the gym, visiting my family, or finding some new skill/hobby to learn and explore. Current interests are backpacking and golf, maybe getting back into combat sports if I can find the time.
