Meet Ashton Prince, DMD

Ashton Prince is one of many dentists in his family. His grandfather Dr. Alpine Prince practiced in St. George for a number of years before his passing. His father, Dr. Robert W. Prince, practiced in the field of Orthodontics in St. George as well prior to his retirement in 2020.

He completed his undergraduate training at Dixie State College and Southern Utah University prior to entering dental school at the University of Nevada – Las Vegas. Upon completing his training, he was offered an Associate Professorship within the University to supervise and teach in the field of Restorative and Cosmetic Practices. Following a year of teaching in Las Vegas, he and his wife Dani decided to move back home to St. George to raise their four children.

Dr. Prince holds strongly to conservative practices and ethics and is very concerned that patients understand every option available to them when treatment does need to be rendered. In this manner, Dr. Prince believes the patient and the dental team have a very close hand-in-hand relationship in maintaining oral health. Dr. Prince is a founding member of the Seattle Study Club of Southern Utah that works to enhance the clinical expertise and training of Southern Utah’s dentists. He also works very closely with the Utah Tech University Hygiene program as an Adjunct Faculty in their Pain Management Department as well as having served on their Advisory Board for 8 years.

Dr. Prince is one of five Clinical Ambassadors for the widely respected group “Dental Advisor” which reviews and researches many dental products that are being used in dental offices across the world. With those responsibilities, he also lectures across the country as a Key Opinion Leader for numerous dental companies to assist in the training of dental professionals of all skill levels. To further his own clinical skills, he has trained with many highly respected professionals in Cosmetic and General Dentistry and has worked with numerous patients in re-establishing a natural, beautiful smile after trauma, natural wear and darkening of the teeth. Dr. Prince is extremely confident in his dental team which consists of Hygienists, Oral Surgeons, Endodontists, Orthodontists and Lab Technicians to help in giving you the most up-to-date care that current dentistry has to offer. If needed, and at your convenience, Dr. Prince would love to visit with you to answer any questions, discuss possible restorative options or simply help to maintain your current smile.

Meet David Patch, DDS

Dr. Patch and his wife are Utah natives and outdoor lovers at heart. They enjoy doing most anything outdoors including camping, hiking, running, biking, and enjoying the beauty nature provides. Originally, they are from Northern Utah, but after visiting, they have grown to love the people and the beauty of St. George. After searching for years for the right place to raise their family and settle their roots, they have decided to join the rest of us in shoveling sunshine down here in paradise with their three beautiful children, Griffin, Cora, and Cosette.

Dr. Patch has a passion for providing the highest quality of dentistry possible, using the most advanced techniques in the industry, make each experience as comfortable as possible, and treating everyone as family. After his undergraduate training at Utah State University in Logan Utah, it was through his pristine 4-year dental training at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia Canada, 1-year General Practice Residency at the University of Utah and numerous continuing education courses on Implants, Complex Restorative Dentistry, Advanced Endodontics, Invisalign, Sedation, Oral Surgery, and Esthetics/Smile Design, Dr. Patch has become a master of his trade. His attention to detail and passion for the arts of esthetics has given him the opportunity to change the lives of many of his patients by giving them the smile of their dreams. He received personal hands-on training some of the most world-renowned Cosmetic Dentists and is one of the few Dentists in the nation to have taken their courses on Esthetics and Function; multiple times.

To improve his clinical skills and dedicate himself to being a lifelong learner, Dr. Patch is a member of the American Dental Association, LDS Academy of Dentists, Utah Dental Association, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Seattle Study Club of Southern Utah and the Crown Council. It is through these associations that he has become a leader of dentistry in his area and an irreplaceable asset to the community.

Dr. Patch’s focus has, and will always be, to educate patients, and help them understand all of the options they have available, the pros and cons of each, and give the patient the most conservative and optimal choice possible. He believes in a patient-centered approach, where everyone has the right to understand their own oral health and the options to improve it. Whether it a simple question, helping a patient get out of pain, or as involved as restoring your smile, Dr. Patch is more than happy to visit and discuss your oral health needs and truly be a positive influence in your life.
