Ann Slama, DDS, FAGD
Fargo, ND and Valley City, ND
Dr. Ann Slama wanted to be many things growing up – a teacher, a cleaning lady, an engineer – but says once she decided to become a dentist, the rest fell into place. Once accepted into dental school, she flourished. Dr. Slama graduated from New York University College of Dentistry in the top of her class allowing for entrance into the prestigious dental honor society, OKU.
Dr. Slama has a knack for making people – young and old – feel comfortable. It’s a joke around that office that you’ll commonly hear laughter coming out of her room. She is passionate about creating healthy beautiful smiles for all ages that will last for a lifetime. From the moment you walk in the door, she wants you to enjoy your time in the office and enjoy your smile even more.
Dr. Slama loves to learn – education is a top priority. She continually improves herself through attending the best continuing education courses in the country to stay on top of the ever-changing world of dentistry and that makes coming to work exciting every day. Most recently she earned her Fellowship award with the Academy of General Dentistry, a distinguished award earned by only a small percentage of the dental community. Her enthusiasm for education extends to her patients as well. She strives to make the complexities of dentistry easy for you to understand.
Did you know? I grew up in California and life’s journey landed me in North Dakota where I couldn’t be happier. So, the first weeks of winter are always an adjustment for this California girl. I spend more time than I’d like to admit watching tv and can be caught singing along with the radio while working!
Brian Bulik, DDS
Fargo, ND and Valley City, ND
Dr. Brian Bulik received his dental degree from New York University College of Dentistry in 2010. From that time he has been devoted to mastering the latest technology in computer-aided dentistry (CAD/CAM), allowing him and his team to deliver the best contemporary dentistry has to offer. He is dedicated to receiving the finest continuing education from around the country.
When not in the dental office, you can often times find Dr. Bulik at the airport, heading someplace to continually broaden his skills through numerous courses on advanced dentistry topics. As a result, his staff and partners are always on the forefront of the newest techniques in dentistry
Dr. Bulik takes great pride in his effort to continually grow and improve Concept Dentistry for everyone. Additionally, he has given lectures on the use of CAD/CAM capabilities as well as 3D radiography for diagnosis and implant planning.
“Dentistry today is frequently changing. It is my obligation to not only stay current with the latest trends in dentistry, but also to educate my patients on what is available for their specific needs, so they may make the best decision for their oral health.”
Matthew Bulik, DDS
Wahpeton, ND
Dr. Matthew Bulik always knew he wanted to be in the medical profession growing up, but what attracted him to dentistry is the ability to combine artistry with patient care. He has established a reputation for creating outstanding patient experiences through his passion for dentistry. He enjoys providing patients with the smiles they deserve.
Dr. Bulik received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Saint John’s University in 2010 and his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from New York University in 2015. Although he enjoyed the hustle and bustle of New York City during his time in dental school, he was eager to move back to his roots in the Red River Valley.
Focusing on family practice dentistry, Dr. Bulik strives to help patients of all ages achieve their dental needs. He continues to broaden his knowledge in all aspects of dentistry with extensive continuing education courses so he can continue to provide the best care for his patients.
Dr. Bulik enjoys staying active and traveling with his wife Sarah. When not hard at work, you can find Dr. Bulik exploring the great outdoors with Moose, his golden retriever.

“As a dental hygienist I am most excited to meet new people and form relationships with patients that will hopefully continue for many years. I am most passionate about being able to make a difference in someone’s oral health and enhance their personal confidence in their smile – whether it is through healthier tissues, whiter teeth or filling a space. Smiles are contagious and people should share them.”

Bob
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist
Bob Bulik is a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) who provides sedation for dental treatment at Concept Dentistry. Bob graduated with his degree in Nursing from North Dakota State University in 1978. He continued his education at Minneapolis School of Anesthesia, graduating in 1982, giving him more than 33 years of experience as an anesthesia provider. Bob’s many years of experience with patients of all ages shows in his patient interactions. His ability to make his patients feel comfortable and at ease prior to their procedures, is second only to his focus on patient safety.
Bob is a member of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) and has been providing anesthesia in a variety of settings both locally and nationally since 1982.
“Every day I have the pleasure of knowing that I am helping patients during very stressful times in their lives. My goal is to make their experience as comfortable as possible – before, during and after their procedure. It’s satisfying knowing that the sedation I provide allows someone who was fearful of the dentist or dental treatment achieve better oral health and overall health. I wanted to become a CRNA because I enjoy the diversity of work and the diversity of people I encounter on a daily basis. Each patient is unique and can present their own challenges. This motivates me to stay up-to-date in my education and techniques, so I know I am providing the best care available today.”
What we can do for you
Frequently asked questions
Concept Dentistry agrees with the American Dental Association's and American Academy of Pediatric Dentists' recommendation that a child's first dental visit should be within 6 months of their first tooth coming in or no later than their first birthday. An early start can help your child have a healthy smile for life!
If you are nervous, anxious or just concerned about your dental appointment, we have several options for you. We provide nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") or our experienced anesthetists deliver IV (intravenous) sedation to put you at ease during your visit.
Concept Dentistry offers several cosmetic orthodontic options including clear aligners from ClearCorrect along with ceramic and clear brackets if traditional brackets and wires are needed to straighten your smile. A consultation visit will allow us to evaluate your teeth and discuss the most effective cosmetic braces solution for you.
Concept Dentistry uses KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching System to transform teeth that are stained, discolored, or dull into a permanently bright smile.
KöR Whitening is ranked as the most effective, reliable way to whiten your teeth permanently by respected dental journals. It utilizes a combination of in-office and at-home treatments to allow us to achieve the most stunning results!
Contact Us for additional information on teeth whitening options.
It is important to see your dentist for an evaluation of your oral and dental health as soon as you find out you are pregnant to determine if any dental care is necessary. Studies have shown that dental treatment while pregnant is not linked to pregnancy complications. If necessary, dental treatment will be planned for your second trimester into the beginning of your third trimester when it is most comfortable for you to be in the dental chair. Periodontal (gum) disease has been linked to preterm delivery and low birth weight babies, so it is important to maintain healthy gums at home with brushing and flossing, and maintaining regular visits with your doctor.
We are committed to the prevention of oral cancer through the early identification of pre-cancerous conditions, and provide oral cancer screenings at each preventive care appointment. We will check for spots, cuts, swellings, growths or other abnormal areas.
The American Dental Association (ADA) and dentists at Concept Dentistry recommend that children and adults use fluoride toothpaste. As long as it has fluoride in it – and you’re using it twice a day – pick your favorite! You and your dentist are partners in your dental care. Do your part by brushing twice a day and flossing daily! Then let us do our part when we see you every six months!
