If you have one or more missing teeth, you may be struggling to bite and chew or feel embarrassed to talk, laugh, and socialize. Missing most or all your teeth can result in changes in your facial appearance, a decline in your health, and increased discomfort or self-consciousness. No matter how many teeth you're missing, dental implants are the "gold standard" solution.
If you're missing multiple teeth or are completely edentulous (lacking teeth), full mouth dental implants can improve your oral health and function, while restoring your smile and self-confidence. Full mouth dental implant solutions replace all your teeth on either the upper jaw, the lower jaw, or both.
If you have many failing and missing teeth or wear dentures, you are most likely experiencing situations every day that leave you feeling uncomfortable or embarrassed. Today, with the option of dental implants, you can put all these limitations and discomforts in the past for good!
Dental implants make it possible to live a healthy, confident life with solutions ranging from removable dentures and implant supported dentures in Salt Lake City, Utah to permanently fixed full mouth dental implants.Your options for replacing missing teeth are numerous, each with its own advantages, drawbacks, and costs.

Just like every other company in Utah, they lie. I was extremely upfront and honest about my financial situation. I have in writing saying they would work a payment plan with me. I explained my past trauma with dentist. They assured me it would be a great visit. I arrive and what happens.... No payment plan. Although they will do a free consultation to do what I already know. Which I am told I'd I don't get this fixed I can die if an infection goes into blood streem. Yet no dentist wants to help a person (willing to pay in advance and make payments). It's all about the dang money. Utah is the most

I had my crown pop off after eating caramel and they were able to get me into the office within a day and then they were able to use the crown. (After getting all the caramel off of it!). Jess and Dr. Allred were able to take care of me in less than twenty minutes. It was quick, easy, and pain-free. This is the best dental office I have ever been to!

Great! Dr. Palmer and his hygienists are all super friendly and ready to help. Dr. Palmer explained everything well and made sure I felt comfortable and could understand what was going on. Plus they have fun massage chairs which was v nice. Dr. Palmer is very kind to the other employees too which is great! Thank you so much, I have a beautiful replacement tooth now to hold me off until I can get an implant!

I’ve been a patient for Dr. Palmer for over 5 years. He is fantastic and really cares about the patients oral health. He is the best, I drive 3”20 min to see him. The staff is amazing and very friendly, they get you in and out very quickly.... you are not waiting long hours to see the dentist. Dr. Palmer is very professional and honest and gives you options regardless of the money he could make. I would recommend Dr. Palmer and his staff to anyone.

This is hands down the best dental office I've used over the years in any city! I started the process of a complete restoration of my teeth while living in Portland after lots of cavities that weren't properly filled in my 20s. When I moved to Salt Lake City, I had a couple remaining crowns and the front veneers to complete. Dr. Parks and then Dr. Allred were absolutely amazing in provisioning the work. They are deft at making dental care (extensive, in my case!) as pain free as possible, and I couldn't be happier with the final work product. All of the dentists here have a wonderful patient side

So I was flying into Salt Lake City to spend a week in Park City for Sundance and one of my crowns fell out while I was waiting to board my plane. While waiting to take off I found Dr. Palmer's office via my insurance website and Yelp reviews. My experience is that the FIVE STAR rating of this wonderful office is so very well deserved. When I called to make an appointment to see what could be done about my crown they offered me a same day appointment! Amazing! The staff is delightful and wonderful. Dr. Park is a real pro with a wonderful bedside manner. Dr. Park re-cemented my old crown

First visit here was very good. I have been to a few dental offices that felt more like spa traps than professional medical establishments in the past- that was not the case here which For me is a good thing. Everyone was very professional, timely, honest about pricing and necessity of services they offer, kind, and it was a laid back/comfortable environment.

Finally found a dentist that isn't about gimmicks, and genuinely cares about doing the job right. I've been to a myriad of dentists that have done poorly, done work that didn't need to be done, or were just in a hurry. Dr Palmer identified and fixed a poorly designed crown by another dentist that the other dentist couldn't seem to figure out wouldn't fit with my bite, causing me headaches. He does his crowns in house, which is extremely nice not having to wear a temporary cap for a few weeks. He's honest and his office seems to all be on the same page, which I think

I wouldn't recommend them for very small children, but they're probably fine otherwise.
Took my 3 year old here in hopes of giving him a fun first dental experience. I was expecting some props, maybe a giant tooth, a storybook, some kind of engagement, but it wasn't really in their wheelhouse. The overall vibe I got from them was "what can we do with this kid?" In fact, Dr. Palmer basically told me he was too young to come in, which is surprising since it contradicts the ADA reccomendation of a visit before the child's first birthday.
The staff and Dr. tried gamely

Let me start off by saying I hate!! Hate going to the dentist. I work a very busy schedule and can be flaky when it comes to appointments so I just don't make them. This place was very welcoming and open to helping me. They were as gentle as they could be. I haven't had a dentist in over 20 years. I am so happy I found this place.

I HATE the dentist, but not this one. The whole experience of going to Dr. Palmer's office is a great one. Except the fact I use it as a way to get time off work, and I always schedule my appointments for 8am and don't actually get to sleep in! But that's on me!
I too came here because of the reviews on Yelp, and I guess this is why reviews are a thing, they work. This is the top rated Dentist in SLC because....they are! The gals at the front desk are out of this world helpful. The office in general is willing to do whatever! And they are so kind and nice.
I first went for a check

Dr. Palmer and his staff consistently go above and beyond to make the person that they are seeing feel as if they are the only client that they have. I was more than hesitant to see a dentist for financial reasons, and also because of my fear and history with bad dentists. He absolutely changed that for me. From the first visit I felt comfortable and informed on my dental hygiene. Dr. Palmer discussed all of my financial options and worked with me so that my care options were catered to my needs. He and his staff are truly genuine people that want the best for you. He has now seen a few of my friends

He's great and so is his staff. The facility is older - a classic and sort of cramped space, but he has invested is technology that makes your cleaning and exam simpler, more comfortable and more effective. I would give it 5 stars except I never feel like I get a deep cleaning. But I always feel like I get a good cleaning, and great care. He's not the type to suggest unnecessary procedures and his chair side manner is amiable and competent.

I recently moved to Salt Lake City and was looking for a dentist close to where I live. I found Dr. Palmer's office and called right away. They were able to accommodate me the same day. Upon entering the office, I was impressed by how clean and nice it is. The receptionist was very welcoming. Dr. Palmer and his assistant were fantastic. They did a great job on my cleaning and made sure the whole time that I was comfortable.
A week after the appointment, I got a handwritten letter from Dr. Palmer thanking me. That had never happened to me before so I was definitely very impressed. I will
