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.

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.

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.

Orthodontist in American Fork. Dr Brent Nielsen the only ortho in the area that is board certified ( i checked the American board of orthodontics) he was pres sl district dental society. He's a little more pricey but were talking about your kids smile here. He gave us 5% off for paying upfront.

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!
Brandon T. replied:
Hi Chris- my Uncle Tom is the best!!!! He's got a small practice downtown on 3 rd S & 5 th E. 801-355-0380. You can talk to my cousin Camille; who runs the front. Tell them I sent you and that they'd take great care of you!

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.
Julie C. replied:
Dr. Hadfield over by smith's. He's great and has the machine that makes the crowns right there.

Adhis B. replied:
Dr. Jerry Brown on Main Street Lehi. I have no clue if he does what you are needing, but he is super nice and very gentle with people.

I have been Very pleased with Bill Sundberg in Cottonwood Heights. His office is just north of the DAN'S on Highland. He is really good, has the latest equipment and is very fair..Doesn't try to sell you something you don't need.
Orthodontist Recommendations please! (In Utah County or Draper area)
Robyn L. replied:
Trapnell Orthodontics is awesome!!!
Sammie N. replied:
Orthotime in af by petsmart! Dr. Watson is amazing. He takes time to get to know you! I loved him!
Shilo H. replied:
Thompson Orthodontics in Orem is also fantastic! Both of my kids go to him and we have been very pleased with him and his staff. We never have to wait once we get there and the kids are usually in and out in 15-20 minute. so you don't waste a whole afternoon sitting in the office. He does all kinds of contests and the kids get beach bucks when they go in for visits which they can trade in for awesome prizes.
Leigh S. replied:
Edge Orthodontics in North Provo.
Paige A. replied:
We also like Dr. Watson. I especially appreciate his conservative approach. I was sure our oldest would need braces, but he advised trying a retainer first. Did the trick and saved us a bundle.
I need orthodontist recommendations. Anyone have a good one? Bad one?
Andrea R. replied:
Jeff Iverson. He has offices in murray sandy and riverton
