Family & General Dentistry
General and family dental care in Murray, Utah. Serving Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, Millcreek, and Midvale.
How Visits Go Here
We schedule enough time for cleanings, exams, and an actual conversation. Your hygienist doesn't have one eye on the clock, and your dentist doesn't disappear into the next room before you've finished asking a question.
If we recommend treatment, we'll show you why on a screen first. We'll explain what happens if you wait, what happens if you don't, and what each option costs. Then we let you decide.
No upselling. No guilt trips. No pressure to commit today. Patients tell us this is the difference. We hope you'll agree.

DMD · Owner & General Dentist

Insurance & Financing
We're in-network with most major dental insurance plans, including United Concordia, Humana, Solstice, Lincoln Financial Group, Renaissance, NovaNet, and Principal. We verify your coverage before your first visit, so you know what to expect.
If you're uninsured, our in-house Peak Dental Membership Plan covers preventive care (cleanings, exams, and X-rays) and provides meaningful discounts on treatment. We also offer Care Credit and Cherry financing for patients who want to spread out larger treatment costs.
Every cost is explained upfront, before any treatment begins.
What Our Patients Say
"I'm happy to have found a knowledgable dentist who is so easy to talk to and so communicative! It's nice to have a dentist who truly cares about your well being and is willing to answer your questions instead of rushing through your appointment to get to the next patient. The staff is also really nice, and the office was really clean."
