A Look Inside the Practice
From diagnosis to final restoration, every step is planned with advanced technology and prosthodontic expertise.
Expert Dental Restoration & Implant Dentistry
Dr. Andrus is a leader in dental makeovers and dental implant treatment. He helps patients who have been struggling with loose, damaged or missing teeth and returns their quality of life by giving them healthy, beautiful and fully functional new smiles.
Every new patient begins with a comprehensive oral evaluation and consultation, allowing Dr. Andrus to assess the condition of their teeth, understand their smile goals, and present personalized options to restore their oral health.
“When I decided to become a dentist, I knew I wanted to work with the most extreme cases to make the biggest difference in the lives of my patients. That meant specializing in prosthodontics, just like my father. After dental school, serving in the Air Force and completing my specialty training, my wife and I returned to Utah. My goal is to improve your dental health and give you a functional, attractive smile that meets your unique needs.”
