An engaging and committed Fargo dentist.

Dr. Austin Vetter was raised in Minot, ND where he was active in sports and the Boy Scouts. He played a number of sports at Bishop Ryan High School before being awarded a full-tuition football scholarship to North Dakota State University where he played tight end. While there, Dr. Vetter met his wife, Katie, who played NDSU basketball. After graduating, they both moved to Creighton for his dental training.

Right from high school, dentistry interested Dr. Vetter because he wanted to help people while expressing his artistic side. He also has an avid interest in technology, which drew him to the everchanging dental field.

With a keen interest in this industry, Dr. Vetter learned from a number of top-class dentists. He appreciated the value of not only fixing issues but also beautifying them. He brings this approach to all his patients as he helps them achieve their personal goals. Our Fargo dentist takes the time to understand your needs and enjoys developing close relationships with his patients.

Let’s Go Bison!

Dr. Vetter was recognized by North Dakota State University for football and played in seven games for the Bison in 2009. Our Fargo dentist contributed to several special team units and played tight end. He received the Missouri Valley Football Conference Commissioner’s Academic Excellence Award that same year.

What do you do in your spare time?

I enjoy spending time with my wife and two daughters, Grace and Olivia. We attend local high school and college sporting events and swim in the area pools. I also like researching digital dental techniques and communicate with clinicians around the world.

Who is your hero?

My Grandpa Vetter. He raised 12 children that are all amazing aunts and uncles. All the advice I received from him has always rung true. He always valued hard work and education.

What was the best day of your life?

I would say there was a period of my life when I was on cloud nine. I was accepted into dental school and shortly after that, I proposed to my wife. Those few months were some of the greatest months of my life.

What flavor ice cream would you be?

I would be chocolate chip cookie dough with plenty of cookie dough. After all, everyone loves cookie dough.

Dr. Vetter and his entire staff were so amazing. Courteous, professional, and personable from the beginning. They took in all four of our kids at once and proactively rescheduled to make things so convenient for us. Our nine-year-old needed some procedures and I can’t say enough about how kind and patient Dr. Vetter was in getting her through the process.

Mariah

How did you choose dentistry?
I enjoyed going to the dentist as a child and my mom worked in a dental office so I was used to the environment. But it wasn’t until I got braces that I knew I was going to pursue a career in the dental field. Having braces gave me the confidence to show my smile. To this day I don’t stop smiling and I hope to give someone the same confidence.

What is the best part of your job?
Every patient that walks through the door. I love talking with people because I feel you can learn so much and gain different perspectives and maybe even a new hobby.

What do you do outside the office?
I love everything health and fitness, reading, spending time with friends and family, and of course, anything that includes coffee.

What is one item on your bucket list?
It is on my bucket list to live in a tiny home and be completely off-grid.
