In 1990, Dr. Steven C Fuller, Dr. Fuller's son, joined the practice and opened the Altoona location in the fall of 2003. Dr. Fuller has practiced dentistry for 25 years and graduated from the University of Iowa.

Starting young learning about teeth!

Dr. Edwards learned several new dental fun facts thanks to this book.

1. Centuries ago people threw lost teeth into fires so witches were unable to put a curse on them

2. In India, kids throw their lost teeth over their houses and wish their teeth to be replaced with stronger ones

3. In ancient Egypt, it was believed that a freshly dead mouse cured a toothache

4. Floss picks were used by cave men

Have you heard any of these fun facts before?

A note from Dr Edwards ~

Thank you for all the sweet messages, phone calls to the office, and cards. I’m overwhelmed with how patient and kind you all have been. I truly feel so blessed to get to share life’s biggest moments in my patients’ lives and vice versa, now in mine! I appreciate everyone’s understanding in rescheduling and happy to update that I am back at work part-time.

I feel great thanks to my wonderful care team and couldn’t have made this all happen without my team at Fuller Associates too!

The girls are still doing well in the NICU. They are growing each day and developing quite the personalities for little babes! They are known to be a little bit sassy to the nurses…Now where did they get that from? Matt and I are very thankful that they are healthy.

I’ll see you soon! We have lots to catch up on 🥰

An update regarding Dr. Edwards:

On 11/30/25, Dr. Edwards and her husband, Matt, welcomed their two daughters into the world via an emergency c-section. Mom, dad, and the twins are recovering very well. The girls are currently stable in the NICU growing big and strong to come home in a few months. Each have curly brown hair and are long in length for their age. We know their height did not come from mom! 🥰

Thank you for your patience and understanding with scheduling. Dr. Edwards plans to return early and continue working part-time until the girls get to come home. We’re still working out the details and we will update as we know more. Thank you!

A man who lost his sight more than two decades ago, can see again thanks to a groundbreaking surgery that used the patient's own tooth to restore his vision.
