Our Experienced Dentists in Salt Lake City, UT
Dr. Scott Stanfield
Roots
Background
He has attended many continuing education courses on implant dentistry and enjoys the artistic aspect of dentistry. He takes pride in being able to provide the highest quality dentistry for his patients.
“Going to the dentist is generally not something that most people look forward to doing during their busy day. I really enjoy being able to ease patient anxiety and make them feel as comfortable as possible while helping them with their dental needs. I love to see the happiness that comes when a patient sees their brand new smile after years of having an un-esthetic crown or after they have had an accident. As a child, I knocked my front tooth out while riding my bike, so I can fully appreciate the care that goes into restoring a smile back to the way it was.
Dr. Carlson
I’m a Utah native. I grew up in Park City so naturally I enjoy spending most of my free time outdoors. I’m really into both skiing and water skiing, and I also enjoy climbing, and sand volleyball. During high school and college I played jazz saxophone and now I like to play guitar in rock bands.
My first jobs were in construction and wood working, but I also had a passion for health care. So in a lot of ways I feel like dentistry was my calling because it was a mix of working with my hands and with people, all the while doing something that is not only important for health, but helps people to smile more.
I majored in Anatomy from the University of Utah, and went to dental school in San Francisco. I then moved to Gilbert Arizona where I worked at a family office. I’m passionate about how dentistry can improve our full body health, as well as aesthetics and helping my patients love their smile.
I’m super exited to be a part of the OVD team, as well as to out of the heat, close to the snow, and back with all my family.
