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.
