Meet Our Dentist in Orem, UT

Dr. Swenson was born and raised in Utah County and graduated from BYU with a B.A. in psychology. He then went on to dental school at the University of Kentucky, where he graduated at the top of his class with a Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. While in dental school, he received several awards, including an award for being the top student in his graduating class for “Excellence in Prosthodontics,” an award from the American Equilibration Society for outstanding performance in treating “Occlusion & Temporomandibular Joint Function,” and an award from the Academy of Operative Dentistry for superior understanding and application of “Operative Dentistry.”

Since opening his practice in 1999, Dr. Swenson has elected to take many continuing education classes to receive additional training and develop new skills in order to offer better treatment for his patients. He is committed to remaining on the cutting edge of dentistry. Courses he has taken include advanced bone grafting techniques (including sinus repositioning), basic and advanced courses on the placement and restoration of dental implants, dental occlusion (a study of how components of a patient's bite interact with each other), and a host of continuing education courses focused specifically on cosmetic dentistry, veneers, full mouth reconstruction, and sleep apnea. Most recently he has focused on cosmetic CEREC crown design and treatment.

Dr. Swenson is married (his wife also works at the office), and he has three children that he loves to spend time with. His hobbies include long range shooting, reloading, fishing, hunting, golfing, and just about anything outdoors. His favorite food is fresh seafood, and his dream vacation would be to visit New Zealand.

Our team members feel very fortunate to work for Dr. Swenson, as he always makes work fun and takes great care of his employees. His overall goal as a dentist is to help his patients achieve and maintain optimal dental health and improve their self-confidence. He continually reminds his team that developing genuine relationships of friendship and trust with patients is crucial, and that providing excellent patient experiences is the center of our philosophy of care.
