Please help... I need recommendations for a good dentist in the area. I prefer one who owns their own practice as I have had horrible experiences with the corporate...

We have always enjoyed Dr. Gordon at Gordon Family Dental. Right down town Lehi.
Kristine T. replied:
Brandi Banks Lovell, they have a new machine called CEREC that does the crown in office and they create it with digital imaging so you don't have to do the molds. You get it on that same visit. It is nice not to have to come back, but so far I have had two crowns I had done have to be replaced because the dentist did a horrible job and then after they redid them, they turned blue, so now I have to do it again. Not fun.
Joshua H. replied:
I wish more people knew if they were going to a corporate dental office. There is a difference! You can always look on the Academy of General Dentistry website AGD.org. Dentists that are AGD dentists take much more CE credits than the minimal amount required in Utah. Pick on that is a FAGD or MAGD dentist.
Kristine T. replied:
Joshua Holt, there definitely is a difference. I will never pick one who is corporately owned again. I have had a horrible experience and there is absolutely no accountability and they could care less about losing my business apparently. Josh, I'm curious what you think about CEREC crowns?
Joshua H. replied:
CEREC crowns can be good "I guess". Here are my feelings...the machine costs over 100,000.00. The machine "needs" to be used! I think many dentists that have it are somewhat slaves to it and will treatment plan in order to use it. I don't have one, but have removed many of them. They can be done right but are VERY technique sensitive. I personally like having another guy involved (lab tech). I do believe that a lab fabricated crown is much better than a CEREC crown. Also, I have heard that Utah has more CEREC dentists than any other state.

Jennifer R. replied:
I recently asked this question on facebook, and it was so crazy how so many times a person recommended dentists that they adored and others warned me to avoid the same ones. Honestly, in the end, I think you have to find the one that works for you, and some people will have a great experiences while others will not. With that said, I had Dr. Terry Ferrell recommended to me multiple times, and I gave him a try. He has a practice in Lehi: Center Creek Dental. I've only been there once, but I was extremely happy with my experience and will go back again. 801-766-3700, 10 E. State Street, Lehi. Best of luck!

We drive all the way to Provo to my neighbor that I grew up with. I've tried to switch to a Lehi dentist with no luck finding one I like. You could try Robinson Dental. Reed F. Robinson is the dad but his son Taylor J Robinson joined his practice and is fantastic. I found it worth the drive.

Dr. Clint Iverson in South Ogden. (801) 475-1999 and believe me, after having the best dentist EVER.....it was SOOOO hard to find another one that I even liked, let alone one I thought I'd ever recommend. He is really good and is a very honest person (surprising and sad how many dishonest ones there are out there). Anyway, he does great work and I would definitely recommend him.

I took Hope to see Dr. McIness at Autumn Ridge Dental....he's a family friend and a great Dr. The only problem is he's in south Jordan.....it's only like a 25 min drive..but when there's a dentist on every corner it's hard to decide if the drive is worth it.

I am extremely picky about Dentists. In fact I hate going to the Dentist so I check them out well. I have been to Jerry Brown, Hartman Dental, my wife has been to Young Dental and many others over the last several years. Greenwood Dental is the best in this area as far as I am concerned. Dad and two sons all Dentists. Extremely good, professional and very nice.
Anyone have a dentist in the Lehi, UT area that they would recommend?

Shauna V. replied:
Kids dental Barn is great. For adults there is a new kind of dentistry called Tooth Conserving Dentistry. Any fillings etc are supposed to last longer and have better sealing so less chance for decay. Dr. Thompson in Riverton does it. Not a lot of dentist do it yet because it's just starting to be taught in schools, so unless they've done continued ed, they weren't trained on the technique.
