Dentistry to Dr. Johnson is much more than fixing teeth. It is about caring for and listening to his patients as well as providing a welcome and calm environment. He feels it is very important to have a dentist who fits your personality and who makes you feel at home. When a person comes into the office he strives to provide a comfortable, relaxing and positive experience where one's dental desires and needs are understood and met.
He became interested in dentistry while he was serving his mission in Scotland where he was inspired by an elder in the mission field who was a retired dentist and professor at UCLA. Upon returning from his mission, he attended the University of Utah and received his Bachelor of Science in Medical Biology. He went on to complete his graduate studies at Creighton University School of Dentistry were he received his Dental degree and top scores in Operative Dentistry on the National Boards.
Dr. Johnson believes excellence is not just an accomplishment but a journey toward being the best and continues to stay abreast on current advancements in dentistry through continued course work and study. In 2012 he received 6 months of comprehensive clinical training for placement of single and multiple implants through the Maxicourse offered by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. He also accomplished the coursework necessary to become IV Sedation certified. In addition, he has maintained up to date coursework in Endodontics for root canal therapy, Oral Surgery for wisdom tooth extractions, Cosmetic Dentistry and Periodontics. He is a very comprehensive general dentist who has extensive experience and education in many modalities of dentistry.
Aside from dentistry, Dr Johnson loves spending time with his wife and children making memories skiing, mountain biking, backpacking, watching movies and, of course, golfing.
