Dr. Andrew Korcek, DDS

Born in Northern California. Trained at Loma Linda. Forged in the United States Navy. Now rooted in the Carson Valley with his family.

Dr. Korcek graduated from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in 2015, then completed a one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency at Camp Pendleton through the United States Navy — intensive, hands-on clinical training well beyond standard dental school preparation.

Following his residency, Dr. Korcek was stationed at Naval Air Station Fallon in Northern Nevada. He and his wife fell in love with the region — the wide-open landscape, the Sierra Nevada backdrop, and the tight-knit community that Carson Valley delivers. In 2021, he earned his Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD), a distinction held by fewer than 7% of dentists in the United States. In 2023, he resigned his commission from active duty to spend more time with his growing family and plant permanent roots in Northern Nevada.

Dr. Korcek acquired a well-established Minden dental practice, ensuring continuity of care for existing patients while introducing modern techniques and a fresh clinical perspective. His unique combination of academic excellence, military-grade precision, and personal investment in the community underscores his commitment to providing exceptional, patient-focused dental care at Korcek Dental in Minden, Nevada.
