After graduation, Dr. Pruden entered the United States Army, and has been stationed in Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia.

Upon graduation, he practiced endodontics for three years in the Washington DC region at Fort Belvoir, and on staff at the Walter Reed Endodontic Residency. Dr. Pruden returned to his home state of West Virginia in the summer of 2021. He is excited to raise his family in southern West Virginia.
