Committed To Your Care
Get To Know Dr. Richard
Dr. Richard grew up in Orem, Utah and comes from a long line of dentists. He received his Bachelor’s degree in professional chemistry from Utah Valley University before attending Creighton University School of Dentistry to receive his DDS.
Dr. Richard’s favorite class in school was Partial Denture Design. The complexities and intricacies of partial dentures intrigued him, and soon dentures and extractions became a passion that he continues through this day through continued education.
One of the most fulfilling parts of his job is getting patients out of pain—and preventing them from complications in the first place. Helping someone regain their quality of life is highly rewarding, and he’s honored to be able to solve dental issues large and small for his patients.
If you were to ask Dr. Richard what he likes to do in his free time, he would respond: “Free time, what’s that?” With a family of six at home, he doesn’t get much free time. But when he does, he loves playing with his four children!

Office Comforts & Amenities
Office comforts make your visit comfortable and convenient. With little touches like TVs on the ceiling for entertainment during your treatment to one-on-one cleanings with Dr. Richard to ensure you have plenty of time to discuss your concerns, your appointment will be soothing and fun every step of the way!
Easy, Digital Procedures
Tech for Your Comfort
Dr. Richard is always committed to following up on the latest in continuing education and what tools and techniques can best serve his practice. For example, our intraoral scanner allows us to take digital impressions or molds of your teeth instead of the goopy, mess-filled ones of days gone by.
Giving Back
Investing In Education for Our Community
We believe that giving back to our community is a privilege and responsibility. That’s why Dr. Richard gives out a free scholarship to a student each year for a trade school. Dr. Richard believes that trades are extremely beneficial to students in the long run, and it’s his honor to help young minds invest in themselves.
