Supporting healthy smiles across North Platte, Sutherland, Broken Bow, Ogallala, Mullen, Gering, and Bridgeport.

What is preventive dentistry?
Preventive dentistry is the foundation of lifelong oral health. Our team combines advanced technology with genuine care. You’ll experience gentle, thorough cleanings, AirFlow hygiene, and personalized education to help you care for your smile at home. It’s not about just cavities, it’s about protecting your overall health, saving time, and keeping your natural smile for the long haul.
The benefits of routine dental care
Here’s why it matters.
Peace of mind
There’s peace in knowing you are doing the right thing for your smile. With regular care and personalized guidance, you’ll know exactly where you stand.
Fresher breath
Cleanings remove plaque and bacteria that can cause inflammation, gum disease, and bad breath, helping you enjoy a healthier, more confident smile.
Saves you time
Routine visits help us catch small problems before they become major issues, saving you time, money, and discomfort.

Comprehensive exams
Every visit includes a detailed exam of your teeth, gums, and bite alignment, plus an oral cancer screening for your peace of mind.
Professional cleanings
We get it – you probably aren’t looking forward to your dental cleaning. That’s why we’ve invested in AirFlow hygiene, a non-ivasive, pain-free, vibration-free system that uses warm water to thoroughly clean your teeth. Its faster than traditional cleaning methods and much more effective.
Digital X-rays and 3D imaging
We don’t just “eyeball” your teeth, but take a comprehensive look with low-radiation digital imaging with AI integration and 3D panoramic scans. This allows us to evaluate bone health, tooth roots, and even your airway so you know exactly where you stand.
Fluoride treatments
Fluoride is an optional treatment that’s recommended when your teeth need extra support. It’s a simple, painless, and quick method that strengthens enamel and prevents cavities in both kids and adults. We also offer fluoride-free options upon request.
Dental sealants
Dental sealants create an invisible layer of protection over your child’s back teeth, sealing out bacteria and food particles that cause decay. At Maple Park Dental Associates, we make the process quick and comfortable, no shots, no drilling, and total peace of mind for parents.
Oral cancer screenings
Join us in prioritizing your dental health with our comprehensive and compassionate care.
Periodontal maintenance
Even if it’s been awhile since your last cleaning, our compassionate team can get you back on track. Our periodontal services include gentle deep cleanings and root planing when needed to control gum disease and prevent bone loss. We also use laser therapy for a pain-free, minimally invasive approach that promotes faster healing and reduces discomfort.
Custom Nightguards and Mouthguards
Whether you grind your teeth at night or play contact sports, protecting your smile is key. Our custom nightguards and athletic mouthguards are designed using digital models of your mouth for a better fit and comfort compared to store-bought options.
Sleep and Airway Screenings
Your breathing habits affect far more than your sleep, it impacts your life. During each preventive exam, our dentists perform a sleep and airway evaluation to identify signs of restricted breathing, snoring, or sleep-disordered breathing. Using digital imaging and airway analysis, we assess how your jaw and tongue position may affect airflow.
Here's what you can expect

Detailed exam

Personalized recommendations
We review your results together, explain your options, and create a custom care plan for continued prevention and long-term health.

Locals love how they feel at Maple Park Dental Associates
Professional and thorough. I would highly recommend this office. I go in for periodic cleanings and Mandy is always very professional and excellent at what She does. All the dentist are knowledgeable and gentle.
Eased my worry about a tooth fracture. Did exam and X-rays to give me a full diagnostic reassurance about the tooth in question. Friendly staff and helpful. I will definitely book my next dental care with them.
Dr. Ramsay is honest, efficient, and I can say he truly cares about his patients. The hygienists are WONDERFUL. They are and so good with children. My kids love getting their teeth cleaned and are always excited to see whose turn it is. I can’t say enough good things about them!
Maple Park has the best staff! I have always enjoyed my cleanings because the hygienists are so sweet; we talk too much and it’s hard to get to the cleaning part! Dr. Ramsay is, also, very good! I may be biased but I’ve seen lots of dentists in my time and he is at the top of my list! I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Over 4 years ago I made an amazing decision, replace dentures with implants, that was the best decision I made, staff at maple park made my dream of having permanent teeth possible! Best staff, friendly and they care about you
I received excellent dental care at Maple Park during my appointment. The staff and Doctor were extremely caring as I had anxiety about my procedure. I’m so glad that I chose Maple Park Dental. They are awesome.
I went in to have my newborn’s tongue tie corrected. Dr. Pederson was very informative and helped me to make the best decision for care. She was patient with my questions and not pushy about what we should do. The procedure was quick and I felt confident leaving my 6 day old son in their care, even for a brief time.
I has a crown put in on the very back tooth on the bottom left side. They numbed everything before they started. I didn't feel anything. They told me everything they were doing and done a fantastic job. Every experience with Maple Park always is. Thank you for making going to the dentist a positive experience.
My wife and I have gone to Lashley dental offices for over 20 years. Primarily for cleaning. We have found the dental work and cleaning by Dentists and Hygienists to be excellent to superior. The facility and equipment are state of the art. Service costs are reasonable and always a friendly atmosphere.
Very personable and friendly staff! I’ve known Dr Ramsay for a few years now and he’s great with making you feel comfortable. He’s extremely knowledgeable and makes going to the dentist stress free. Highly recommend.
he staff are amazing. They are so much fun and have such good sense of humors. They don’t talk down to you or make you feel bad. Just pure nice people.
I've been going to Maple Park here in Sutherland for years, not only because its the only dentist in the area that takes my insurance, but I live here and I've always had a great time whenever I come in. The staff and Dr's are always welcoming and helpful with all my dental needs. I just finished my last treatment with Dr. Loseky and she has been and probably will always be my main dentist if I need anything! If you're looking for a good dentist, Dr. Loseky (and staff)are the people to go to!
My hygienist Rachel is amazing! She does a great job and makes sure I understand my progress and what I need to keep improving. Today, I got to see Dr. Lindsey Pederson and she was very informative and reassuring. I hope to work with her more in the future!
Dr. Ramsay did my root canal and I haven’t had an issue with it since. He knew how to be gentle and worked with my schedule to try and get me in quickly since I was in pain. Genuinely good guy who cares for his patients and is good at his practice.
Everyone in the office is always so welcoming and kind. The office is always clean and well maintained. Cathy is absolutely incredible with patients. I look forward to my appointments because I know she will do a great job on my teeth, while making the time enjoyable with a great sense of humor.
Best dentist EVER! Extremely welcoming and friendly office staff.
I’m so thankful for this dental clinic and my amazing dentist David Perry!
Every visit feels personal — they remember my situation, follow up carefully, and treat me with genuine care. The whole team is kind, professional, and attentive. My teeth have never looked better. Highly recommend this place to everyone!
Exceptional, affordable, and friendly dentistry. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
The team here at Maple Park Dental. Are Simply Amazing. Great hospitality. Wonderful conversations. My work requires precision and there was Nothing short of Precision here. I inadvertently went to a wrong location as a new patient, a call was made to reschedule and Tanner worked it out with another patient needing to move a time slot. I was the Benefactor🙏🏽. Many thanks Maple Park
I have been a patient here for 8 years and have always had positive experiences. They are an all in one stop for your dental needs, from regular cleanings to implants and braces, they have you covered. They are very expensive and do not offer discounts of any kind, that is my only negative.
The staff at Maple Park Dental make going to the dentist fun! They’re knowledgeable and efficient, every time. Thanks for all they do!
Services at Maple Park dental Associates Sutherland are stellar! Katie, a dental hygienist has done great job and I really enjoy ever visit there.
I love going to Maple Park! Everybody there is so kind and very professional. Mandy W. is my hygienist and she does amazing job. She is always so happy and she is so easy to talk to. Dr. Peterson and Dr. Woodburn are also amazing!
Hands down best dentist. Got me right in and fixed my tooth the same day!!
Excellent, professional care. Staff is caring and efficient as well. Best dental work I've had in over 70 years.
It is such a convenience to be able to get all of your work done in one appointment. I needed a crown and a couple of cavities filled. They made my crown while the fixed the other two!! Only a short time and one trip away from work!! Thanks Dr. Ramsey & staff!! You guys are AMAZING!!
Everyone at Maple Park is great. Vicky is so knowledgeable regarding insurance, costs and billing. Love Kathy, great at what she does plus we always have giggles.
I was in a lot of pain with my tooth and called to be seen. They could not guarantee me next day but staff actually cared and was able to get me in same day due to a cancellation. They always told me if we can get you in sooner we will call. They were so helpful and everyone was empathetic of the pain. They seemed like they truly wanted me to be better
Another GREAT experience here. They explained everything before they did the work and made sure everything was going ok threw the entire process. This is the best dentist I have experienced. I recommend it to everyone that tells me they are having dental issues.
Fantastic as always. It would be hard to imagine anyone doing it better than the crew at Maple Park. Seriously impressive place. Great people, great reminders, on time, friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, great tech, beautiful facilities and on and on. Top shelf.
Everyone was very friendly. The experience with xrays and cleaning was very well explained before doing anything and answered all questions!! Wonderful place to be seen.
