Our practice · Orem, Utah
A respected name in restorative care, since 1976.
A father-and-son prosthodontics practice in Orem, Utah — specialist care for implants, full-mouth rehabilitation, and complex restorative work.
Our purpose
Christensen Prosthodontics exists for one reason — to give people back what missing or failing teeth take away.
Meet the specialistsThe founding story
It began with a specialist's standard.
Christensen Prosthodontics was founded in 1976 by Gordon J. Christensen, a prosthodontist — the specialist who restores and replaces teeth. From the start, the goal was simple and demanding: do high-stakes restorative work to a specialist's standard, and explain it clearly to the people who trust us with it. That standard still guides everything we do. We focus on the work that asks the most of a dentist — dental implants, implant reconstruction, full-mouth rehabilitation, and complex crowns, bridges, and dentures — and we take the time to do it well.
The legacy
Two generations of prosthodontists, one practice.
In 1991, Dr. Gordon Christensen's son, Dr. William Christensen, joined the practice as a prosthodontist. Today the two work side by side in Orem, sharing the same careful approach to restorative care. For our patients, that means the experience and judgment of a practice built over decades, paired with the steady, day-to-day attention of a second specialist who shares the same standard. It is care built on continuity — one approach, carried forward. Our care is also informed by a lifetime of dental research: Gordon Christensen and his wife, Dr. Rella Christensen, co-founded Clinical Research Associates — known today as Clinicians Report — an independent organization that studies dental products and techniques.
