Welcome to Downtown Dental

Meet Dr. Brian Harrison: The New Face of Downtown Dental

Dr. Brian Harrison brings a rich healthcare background and family dental legacy to Downtown Dental as the proud new owner of the practice formerly known as James F. Lesch, DDS, PA. With a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and DDS from the University of Minnesota, Dr. Harrison's journey to dentistry was anything but straightforward. Despite growing up with dentistry "in his blood" (his father and uncle are both dentists), he initially resisted the profession, exploring other healthcare roles including working as an EMT before discovering dentistry was truly his calling. What drew him in was the perfect combination of science, artistry, and the ability to make meaningful connections with patients while helping them achieve optimal oral health.

A Practice Philosophy Built on Education and Partnership

At Downtown Dental, we're building a culture centered around patient empowerment through education. Dr. Harrison believes every visit should include a "Teeth 101" component where you'll understand the "why" behind every recommendation. Our approach is never to rush patients through appointments or hand out generic treatment plans. Instead, we focus on creating meaningful partnerships that put you in the driver's seat of your dental health. And yes, you can expect at least one dental pun or dad joke during your visit—laughter is part of our treatment philosophy!

Comprehensive Dental Care for Patients Who Value Their Health

At Downtown Dental, we're all about creating healthy smiles that stand the test of time. Dr. Harrison brings both technical skill and genuine care to every service we offer—from routine cleanings to crowns, bridges and beautiful cosmetic work. Instead of pushing quick fixes, we focus on treatments that address the root cause and support your long-term health. Cosmetic dentistry holds a special place in our practice, as there's nothing more rewarding than seeing a patient's face light up when they first glimpse their transformed smile. We're the perfect dental home for people who want to take an active role in their oral health and work alongside us as partners rather than just passive patients.
