Dr. Daniel West, DDS
A smile can say a lot about a person. Don't let a chipped tooth or crooked teeth prevent you from feeling your best. The practice of Dr. Daniel West, DDS, at 5292 South College Drive #203, provides quality care with all the modern technology to get you on your way. His services are quite a mouthful with his specialty in implant restorations, crowns and bridges, veneers, white composite fillings, root canals, extractions, complete and partial dentures and all types of dental emergencies.
Daniel recently purchased this practice from Dr. Bruce H. Reid who is preparing to retire after 25 years of service to this community. This duo has been a great team which has given them the ability to care for patients faster and bring in new patients as well.
"We are accepting new patients which is something Dr. Reid has not been able to facilitate for a few years," Daniel says.
Daniel graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's of Science degree in nutritional science and went on to receive his Doctor of Dental Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. He was practicing in Northern California for the past two years doing pediatric and adult general dentistry when he was approached by Dr. Reid.
"The opportunity to work with Dr. Reid was something I couldn't pass up," Daniel says. "I have loved coming back to this area to practice and it's been great to come back and be close to my family."
Both dentists are members of the Utah Dental Association and American Dental Association. Daniel is also a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry which allows him to continue his education to stay on top of the most current techniques and products available.
One popular procedure he's certified in performing is clear orthodontics. The clear retainer is a great alternative to the silver invasive braces. The retainers are barely seen and are custom fitted. The patient wears them daily to correct teeth alignment; the retainers do so a lot faster than normal braces.
"Clear orthodontics is perfect for adults that have slightly crooked or crowded teeth, and especially helpful for someone whose teeth have shifted since they had braces when they were a child," Daniel says.
The television show "Extreme Makeover" has made porcelain veneers to completely make over a smile really popular. Whether your teeth are stained, chipped or have spaces between them, Daniel can enhance your smile without removing any healthy tooth structure.
Silver fillings are also a thing of the past. For aesthetic reasons, Daniel can remove a patient's silver fillings and replace them with white filling. Patients can also have smaller cavities filled with the white filling without enduring painful shots or drilling.
The bridal season is beginning and those moments can be captured with you looking your best. Daniel can brighten up your smile in time for engagement and bridal photos, and especially for the big wedding day.
"Our in-office laser bleaching is perfect for someone who is getting married soon or needs immediate whitening for a major event in their life," he says.
Daniel takes most major insurance plans and provides finance options, including a no interest plan. To learn more about the services and get answers to frequently asked questions visit www.danwestdmd.com or call 801-266-3000.
