About Dr. Morgan

Over 20 years of careful, considered dentistry

Dr. Nigel Morgan has built his Hendersonville practice on a simple idea: treat every patient like family, and never recommend a treatment you wouldn't choose yourself.

A genuine, unhurried approach

Dr. Nigel Morgan has practised dentistry in Western North Carolina for over 20 years. His patients - many of whom have been with him for decades - describe him as patient, honest, and refreshingly straightforward about what their teeth need and what they don't.

Dr. Morgan was born in Scotland and spent his early childhood in Geneva, Switzerland. He moved with his family to Chapel Hill, NC when he was 8 years old. He attended Chapel Hill High School and received his undergraduate degree in psychology from NC State. He went on to Boston University to earn his Master's Degree in Public Health. Finally, he attended UNC Chapel Hill School of Dentistry, one of the best dental schools in the country.

Dr. Morgan previously served as an adjunct professor at UNC School of Dentistry. He served as the director of the Haywood County Dental Clinic for two years, then worked as an associate in a cosmetic and restorative private practice in Asheville before establishing his own practice here in Hendersonville.

Dr. Morgan and his wife Felisa have 3 children, Selia, Ella and Nolan. He is an accomplished triathlete and has competed in the World Championship Triathlon in Kona, HI 8 times. Dr. Morgan now has his pilot's license and in his free time, he enjoys flying, travelling and spending time with his family.
