Welcome

Meet Dr. Carl J. Call

I grew up in Willard, Utah, and began my studies in Spanish and Biology at Utah Valley University before earning my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, one of Canada’s top dental schools. During my training, I pursued additional courses in oral surgery and cosmetic dentistry, and I developed a strong passion for biomimetic dentistry—a modern approach that focuses on treating the root cause of dental concerns while preserving natural tooth structure.

Having grown up disliking dental visits myself, I understand the anxiety many people feel when coming to the dentist. My goal is to change that experience by creating a welcoming environment where patients feel genuinely cared for and leave confident in their health and their smile.

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time outdoors gardening, working in the yard, and caring for my chickens. I also love skiing, snowboarding, and playing sports.

Prevent diabetes problems: Keep your teeth and gums healthy

What are diabetes problems? Too much glucose in the blood for a long time can cause diabetes problems. This high blood glucose, also called blood sugar, can damage many parts of the body, such as the heart, blood vessels, eyes, and kidneys. Heart and blood vessel disease can lead to heart attacks and strokes.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Who doesn’t want a perfect smile? While few people have one naturally, almost anyone can get one with the help of their dentist. In addition to orthodontic treatment, which can straighten your teeth, recent advances in dental materials and techniques offer near-perfect teeth that are almost as strong as the originals.

Child Dental Health

Healthy teeth are important to your child’s overall health. From the time your child is born, there are things you can do to promote healthy teeth. For , you should clean teeth with a soft, clean cloth or baby’s toothbrush.
