How do I choose a dentist in Utah County, Utah?
Short answer: Choose a dental office whose dentist has an active Utah DOPL license, that bills your insurance (or offers a membership plan), and that explains how it handles emergencies.

1. Check the dentist's license
Utah DOPL licenses dentists. Search the dentist's name in the free Licensee Lookup & Verification System; dental licenses are under the DENTAL profession. Our listings show the lead dentist named on each office's own site and whether we confirmed that license.
2. Questions to ask
- Which insurance plans do you bill directly?
- If I have no insurance, do you have a membership plan or cash pricing?
- Do you see children?
- How do you handle a dental emergency or a call after hours?
- What happens at the first visit, and how long does it take?
3. About costs
We do not publish dental prices. Ask the office for a written treatment plan with costs and what your insurance is expected to cover before treatment.
