Dentistry Runs in the Family
For Dr. Nicholas Torrance, dentistry isn't just a career — it's a family legacy. He grew up in Zionsville, Indiana, watching his mother build a dental practice in Indianapolis that's now spanned more than 35 years, while his grandmother worked as a dental hygienist all the way to age 89.
After earning his degree from the Indiana University School of Dentistry, he chased a lifelong dream and made the jump to Colorado, where an avid skier and cyclist could finally live among the mountains he loves.
