Meet Steffan Scherer, BS, DDS, MS
Dr. Steffan Scherer has been serving smiles and promoting better oral health for his patients for over 25 years.
About Dr. Scherer
Dr. Scherer is from St. Paul, Minnesota, and was drawn to endodontics because it was the most challenging field of dentistry to him. The interesting part of endodontics is that most of his job is beyond what can be seen, even with a microscope, and he enjoys the challenge of finding and fixing dental problems below the surface.
He started his own dental practice in Bismarck, North Dakota, in 1994 and worked by himself for 18 years before moving to Texas in 2012. He worked in Lubbock until spring of 2021, when he created Lubbock Dental Specialists with the help of Dr. William Graves.
In developing this new practice, Dr. Scherer wanted to establish a place filled with positive energy and a sense of love and compassion for others. Being an endodontist is rewarding because he can relieve someone of their pain and lead them to better health by keeping their natural teeth. Dr. Scherer understands anxiety that can sometimes accompany dental treatment. When working with a nervous patient, he explains the procedure and offers a range of sedation options to ensure patients feel no pain.
Education & Residency
Dr. Scherer graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1987 with a BS in biology. He earned his DDS from the University of Minnesota Dental School in 1991 and completed his endodontic residency at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earning his endodontist certificate in 1994. Following his endodontic training, Dr. Scherer furthered his education by earning an MS in oral biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
