David Hunter, DDS

David was born in Utah but moved to Arizona when he was eight. His love of orthodontics began as a teenager when David saw how life-changing it was for his best friend to experience braces. He knew he wanted to help people gain the same confidence with their smile as his friend. After serving a mission in Japan, David went to school at BYU where he met his wife. Together, they moved to Virginia so that he could attend dental school. After completing his degree and honing his specialty, they moved to Arizona, where he established and led a successful orthodontic practice. After 35 years, he sold his practice and relocated to Utah to be closer to his children, grandchildren, and extended family.

While David can’t whistle and admits to overthinking even simple jokes, he has a pretty impressive “baby bird” sound that can drive cats crazy! When David’s not in the office, you can find him exploring Utah trails, working on family history, photo journaling, or hitting balls on the golf course. He would love to visit the Swiss Alps, Austria, and play golf at midnight in Sweden.

David’s professional journey is not just about transforming smiles, but also about building meaningful relationships. He takes great joy in connecting with his patients and their families, witnessing their confidence grow as their smiles transform. His most rewarding cases often involve a collaborative approach with other dental professionals, a testament to his commitment to achieving the best results for his patients. He looks forward to every new smile and every new friendship, making the journey as meaningful as the destination.
