James A. Evans, DDS, MS, FICD
Doctor Evans opened this dental office in Santa Fe in 2000 after moving to the area in 1996. He
had operated a children's dental practice in Northwest Indiana for 35 years. He earned his dental
degree at the Indiana University School of Dentistry and a master's degree in pediatric dentistry
from the University of Illinois School of Dentistry. He is a member of the American Dental
Association, the New Mexico and Southwest Dental Associations, the Santa Fe District Dental
Society and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists and the International
College of Dentists. He is a staff member at St. Vincent's Hospital.
His greatest satisfaction comes from taking a recalcitrant young child with many dental problems and producing a child with a healthy mouth who is happy to see us at checkup time. Dr. Evans also enjoys working with a young child who has major orthodontic problems to either eliminate or diminish those problems over a period of time.
His two grown children live in other parts of the country. One is an accomplished studio artist, and the other one is a molecular biologist. The Evanses have two grandsons, who live in New York. His wife, Karen, who earned a Ph.D. in English from the University of Chicago, is retired from college teaching and now helps with administrative duties in the practice.
Dr. Evans has studied extensively over the years with the Southeast section of the Bioprogressive Institute of Craniofacial Development to further his knowledge of dental growth and development, as well as his orthodontic skills.
