David Ditch, DDS, attended the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry from 1985-1989 and completed a General Practice Residency (GPR) program at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, Nebraska in 1990.  He joined the team at Apple Tree Dental in 2022.

Dr. Ditch became interested in dentistry after having a great visit to the dentist when he was younger.  He told his mother that he was going to be a dentist when he grew up, and she never let him forget that!  Out of all the great things about being a dentist, Dr. Ditch most enjoys doing crowns and bridges, cosmetic dentistry, and of course, helping people.  He is a member of the American Dental Association, the Minnesota Dental Association, and the University of Minnesota Alumni Association.

Although his education brought him to other states, Dr. Ditch has returned to his hometown of Pelican Rapids, Minnesota.  In his free time, he likes all things cars (restoring, building, attending car shows, watching NASCAR), and spending time at the lake with his family, including his spouse and two kids.
