Meet Dr. Maniatis

Dr. Nick Maniatis grew up in Massachusetts and earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Connecticut, one of the most selective dental schools in the country. After spending his whole life living in New England, he decided it was time for a change of scenery, and he moved to Seattle to attend the University of Washington’s General Practice Residency program. During this additional year of training, he gained experience in several aspects of dentistry, including: surgical extractions, implants, root canals, sedation dentistry, and management of medically complex patients.

When Dr. Maniatis moved to Washington for his residency, he fell in love with the Pacific Northwest, and decided to permanently live in the area. He worked in a dental practice outside Tacoma before making the easy decision to move to Poulsbo.

Dr. Maniatis’ clinical approach emphasizes treating patients with their overall health and well-being in mind, while also developing treatment plans with patients that address their individual needs and help them achieve their long-term oral health goals. He strives to make patients as comfortable as possible when they are undergoing dental treatment. He sees himself as a lifetime student, and consistently pursues continuing dental education opportunities in order to provide the highest quality of care for his patients.
