Dr John P. Rich

I was born and raised in Salt Lake City and spent summers at my family’s business, Jacob Lake Inn, on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. I attended the University of Utah earnings Bachelors in English and a Master of Public Health. I graduated with a Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2007 and returned to the Salt Lake Valley to start a practice. After years of private practice I expanded to include the University of Utah School of Dentistry where I teach as an Adjunct Instructor. It is a great opportunity to share dental knowledge and to keep up on the latest techniques and future of dentistry. I love the long term relationships we form in general dentistry. I still see people I treated on my first day of practice. I have made a study of patient comfort and ease. We constantly improve our techniques to improve the patient experience. Digital radiography, same day crowns and laser dentistry to eliminate injections and the need for numbing anasthesia. My wife and I have four children and are happy we have the opportunity to raise them in the Salt Lake community.
