Why patients trust us
Specialist judgment, from the first plan to the final tooth.
Specialist-led care
Every treatment plan is designed around the whole mouth, not just the tooth that brought you in.
Founded in 1976
A restorative standard shaped by the Christensen name and carried forward in Orem.
Clear before care begins
You leave your consultation with options, timing, and cost explained in plain language.
Our philosophy
The goal is not just better teeth. It is capable living. When teeth are missing, worn, broken, or failing, life gets smaller. Meals become careful. Smiles become guarded. Conversations become calculated. Our work is to give that ground back. We slow the process down, study the whole mouth, explain the trade-offs, and build a plan that helps you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.

Why see a prosthodontist?
A prosthodontist is the dental specialist trained to restore and replace teeth. That matters when the case is complex, when previous dental work has failed, or when one decision affects the whole bite.
General dentistry fixes many things well. Prosthodontics exists for the work that needs deeper planning.
A respected name
For decades the Christensen name has stood for specialist judgment in restorative dentistry. The practice carries the standard associated with Gordon J. Christensen, an internationally recognized prosthodontist and dental educator, holding every patient to that same level of care, whether the work is a single crown or a full-mouth rebuild.

Prosthodontists see patients both with and without a referral from another dentist. If you're wondering whether a referral applies to your situation, contact our Orem, Utah office and we'll walk you through how to get started.
What is the first step to fixing my teeth?
The first step is a consultation. During that visit, a prosthodontist examines your teeth, listens to your goals, and explains your options in plain language. Reach out to our Orem, Utah office to schedule a time that works for you.
