Detailed Introduction

Stephen J. Davis, DDS, is a highly respected dental practice serving the Murray, Utah, area and the wider Salt Lake Valley. While the formal practice name is Stephen J. Davis, DDS, the website "bestsaltlakefamilydentist.com" indicates a strong branding emphasis on being the premier choice for family dentistry in Salt Lake. Since its establishment in 1983, Dr. Davis has built a reputation for providing exceptional, individualized dental care with a focus on patient comfort and long-term oral health. Dr. Davis is a Utah native, having received his undergraduate degree from the University of Utah and completing his dental education at the University of the Pacific's Arthur Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco. After a period in the Public Health Service in Texas, he returned to Utah to establish his private practice. The practice offers a comprehensive range of dental services for all ages, making it a true family dentistry destination. These services include: Preventative Dentistry: Routine cleanings, digital X-rays, and examinations to maintain optimal oral hygiene and detect issues early. Restorative Dentistry: fillings, veneers, and crowns to repair damaged teeth and restore their function and appearance. Oral Surgery & Extractions: Including wisdom teeth removal, handled with expertise and care in-house where possible. Root Canals: Addressing complex dental issues to save compromised teeth. Pediatric Dentistry: Creating a positive and comfortable experience for children's dental needs. Cosmetic Dentistry: Enhancing smiles with procedures like Invisalign orthodontics and bleaching incentive programs. A key differentiator for Dr. Davis's practice is his ability to perform many procedures that other dentists typically refer to specialists, such as root canals and certain oral surgeries. This allows for more streamlined and convenient care for patients. Furthermore, Dr. Davis is known for his gentle touch and ability to calm patient fears, a quality highly valued by his long-standing patient base, many of whom have been with him since childhood and now bring their own families. His fluency in Spanish also extends his reach and accessibility within the community. Beyond his professional life, Dr. Davis is actively involved in his community, participating in church and scouting activities, and has received the Silver Beaver Award from the Great Salt Lake Council of the Boy Scouts of America. He also enjoys outdoor pursuits, including hiking and mountaineering, having summited challenging peaks worldwide. This dedication to both his profession and personal endeavors reflects a well-rounded and committed individual at the helm of the practice.

My experience is my first time with Dr. Davis. I am new to Utah and my family members have highly recommended him. I was able to make an appointment as a new patient quickly. Dr. Davis’ office staff fit me in with minimal wait time. It turns out, it was a wisdom tooth I should’ve had removed years ago.

I have put it off because of the time involved in scheduling a specialist, getting rides needed etc. Dr. Davis was able to quickly and painlessly remove the tooth immediately during my initial visit. I was so relieved that he was able to do everything then and there! Very little swelling and pain afterwards. I cannot say enough positives about how professional and caring Dr. Davis and his office staff is! Thank you! Alison

We have been patients of Dr Davis for years He is personable and friendly as are his office staff and assistants. They have told me how much they like working with him. Most important if all, he is a perfectionist with his work. He doesn’t quit until he is satisfied with the finished product.

I love going to Dr Davis. I have always had a good experience. Despite what I read in one review about a bad experience they had I have always found Dr Davis to go above and beyond to make me happy. He has worked on my grandkids, he is patient and engaging with them and makes them comfortable. My family had been going for over 15 years. It’s always good.
