I designed Happy Tooth to specifically not feel, look, or smell like a typical dental or medical experience. Every detail is intentional and inspired by my own kids and their favorite spots at children's museums around the country. I hope your kids look forward to returning to Happy Tooth in Salt Lake City, UT again and again!
Services
I was born and raised in Utah and after a decade of adventuring and living out of state, I'm so happy to finally be back home. I'm a husband and father and love spending time with my family. You can catch us cheering on our favorite sports teams, playing board games, singing in the car and joining our kids in the latest backyard game they've invented.

WOW! No better place to bring your kids, especially for a first ever visit. It doesn't feel like a dentist office, it feels more like a fun play place! Our kiddo had fun playing and exploring and didn't get nervous. Dr. Hanks and staff were so accommodating and flexible to our needs with a 1 yr old. She will be excited to go back!

Dr Hanks and his staff take away all the stress of the dentist experience with littles. From the environment to the rooms and interactions with every staff member, what an amazing experience! My 3 yr old loves her dentist and looks forward to each visit. I’ll be taking my 2yr old twins in for the first time next week and I just feel so comfortable knowing that Dr Hanks and his team are going to take amazing care of them! And the best after visit care treats as well like are you kidding me?! I can’t recommend happy tooth enough!

We had an amazing experience at Happy Tooth! Grant has been to the dentist twice and both times ended in tears. When I told him we were going to the dentist again, he told me he didn't want to go. But after our appointment, he kept saying that he didn't want to leave! The only tears we had were when I had to pull my son from the basketball room to go home 😂 Dr Hanks and his team are super gentle and will never force anything on your child. The office is full of bright colors, child-size furniture, and play spaces that make going to the dentist a positive experience. I'm so grateful to have found

Wow, my two-year-old had the best experience his first time to a pediatric dentist (we took him to ours when he was one and it was pointless)! We showed him photos of the play/waiting area beforehand and got him excited to go. He loved it! There was a TV on the ceiling playing cars when it came time for his actual appointment, and the hygienist Kenzi and Dr. Hanks were both so friendly.
The swag bags are a nice touch too. My son was so excited about his toothbrush, floss handles, stickers and t-shirt! He immediately put on all the stickers and the t-shirt. I was stoked for the Volcano smelling

Happy Tooth is by far the best pediatric dentist. They go above and beyond for their customers. My son is 1 and he’s gone in for 2 check ups now. Although he doesn’t love having his teeth brushed, it gets easier every time and he loves the fun atmosphere they've created. I truly cannot say enough about Happy Tooth and their staff.

I took my 2 year old to Happy Tooth for the first time this week. We loved our experience! The staff is beyond friendly and helpful. It's easy to see Dr. Hanks has created an environment where his staff not only enjoy what they do, they also genuinely care about each patient and their experience. It's impressive! Their waiting room is so cute. My daughter loved it. Dr. Hanks is so kind, so professional, and was wonderful with my daughter. And they sent her home with the cutest little t-shirt! I am so happy I made the choice to take my kids here!

Why aren’t all dental offices like this?! Dr Hanks really has gone above and beyond to make a child's experience at the dental office a positive one. Both my husband and I left wishing we could be seen here! :) Thought was put into ever single aspect. Loved having things to play with in the room, TVs on the ceilings to distract kids during the exam, the basketball court at the checkout counter, and so many goodies to take home! You’ve GOT to take your kids here!

The experience at Happy Tooth Pediatric Dentistry was so amazing! Since we arrived to the building everyone was so friendly and helpful. I arrived and didn't have my insurance info ready so throughout the process they helped me so I could fill out my information. My boy was treated so well by all the staff members. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy place.
My family will be coming back here 😊
Forgot to mention my son received a tasty free drink from Thirst

This was quite possibly the coolest experience we've had in any healthcare setting! From the time you schedule your service to the time you show up and throughout the entire appointment is so cool and calm and organized and fun! Staff is wonderful from front office to the doctor and everybody in between! The waiting area is thoughtfully put together and keeps kids entertained if there is a wait. The appointment itself is super fun with the glasses and how cool the staff is. Then the dentist comes in and he's super cool! At the end your kids get to go play basketball or have fun in their gym area

My kid had an excellent first experience at the dentist. She just turned three, so I know I put it off longer than I should have, but Dr Hanks and his Happy Tooth staff were amazing. They also had a fun and engaging waiting room (my daughter's favorite was the slide) and a fun basketball area she could play in while I went through the checkout process. She also liked being able to watch the tv in the ceiling while they cleaned her teeth. Best of all, no cavities!
