Dr. Mark D. McKell DDS

Dr. McKell loves his job and he loves Utah! Dentistry, the Mountains and Lake Powell are his passions. He was raised in Provo, UT and attended Brigham Young University for his Bachelors Degree. He then went on to Dental School at the University of Texas where he did 5 years of schooling in order to specialize in Dental Surgery.

Dr. McKell has an eye for perfection and found his love for cosmetic dentistry as his years as General Dentist went on. If he is not in the office then Dr. McKell is on a mountain in fresh snow or driving his boat on Lake Powell with his family. Dr. McKell took over this practice from his father and has continued the legacy of being an excellent dentist and member our community.

Dr. David Smith, DDS
Owner/Dentist

Dr. David Smith graduated from Brigham Young University and then attended the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry. While taking shelter from tornados, he joined the United States Army, graduated, and moved to Tennessee where he pursued an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency at Fort Campbell, KY. With the fighting force of America behind him, he was able to refine his skills in wisdom teeth removal, complicated crown and bridge cases, implant placement and restoration, and various surgical procedures.

Dr. Smith was able to acquire unique skill sets and experience with CAD/CAM dentistry, and has an enthusiasm for advancing technologies. After completing a two year assignment at Ft. Riley, Kansas, Dr. Smith and his family then spent three years in Oahu, Hawaii, working at Schofield Barracks and soaking up the salty air, turquoise crystal blue waters, and the cool tradewinds of the islands. What a soft place to land and end his career serving the US Army. Dr Smith still continues to serve in the Army Reserve Unit in Salt Lake City.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Smith cherishes his time with his wife and four children. He is passionate about sports, outdoor adventures, and mostly improving his relationships with his precious family. He also enjoys serving in his church and community.

Dr. Smith is thankful to be back home where mountains and kin reside. He loves serving the great people of Utah.

Dr. Michael Bennett, DDS
Owner/Dentist

Dr. Mike Bennett started practicing dentistry in 1999. After caring for hundreds of patients for several years, Dr. Bennett continued advancing his education and received his Master's in the Academy of General Dentistry, a distinction about 2% of dentists attain.  Over time, he became passionate about helping people with head, neck, and jaw pain and sleep-disordered breathing issues. He ran a specialty clinic treating these issues for over ten years. Along the way, he became board certified in the American Board of Craniofacial Pain and the American Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine. Dr. Bennett is currently getting his Ph.D. in hopes of someday building an airway-focused dental school in Utah County, which would be the first of its kind.

Dr. Bennett loves spending time with his wife, Cathy, and their six children, spouses, and grandchildren. He loves traveling, learning new things, making memories with his family, and eating good food. 

Dr. Bennett is located at our second Provo location and is a valued Sleep and TMJ specialist. As a partner in our practice he is able to provide a service to our patients beyond general dentistry to get our patients overall health and wellness aligned.
