Dr. Dan Whiting was born and raised just south of Salt Lake City, Utah, in the scenic shadow of the Rocky Mountains. A love for the outdoors grew through family adventures and scouting. At 19, he spent two years in Moscow, Russia, on a church mission, where he immersed himself in the culture and language—and met his future wife, Jenny McIntyre. After returning, he studied political science at Brigham Young University, but exposure to dentistry through Jenny’s family led him to discover a new passion. He went on to earn his dental degree from Temple University in Philadelphia, graduating in 2009.

Since joining Smiles for Life in 2010, Dr. Whiting has developed a special focus on implant dentistry, including single-tooth replacements, full-mouth implant restorations, and All-on-4 dental implants. He has completed advanced training in surgical placement, restorative techniques, and digitally guided implant procedures. Known for delivering natural, functional results, Dr. Whiting is committed to personalized care—ensuring every implant treatment is designed around the patient's goals, bone health, and lifestyle needs.

Beyond the office, Dr. Whiting and his wife enjoy remodeling homes, often involving their five children in hands-on learning and outdoor fun. From hiking and biking to coaching youth robotics and volunteering, he values strong community ties. Dr. Whiting is recognized not only for his clinical skill but also for his integrity and dedication to restoring patient confidence through high-quality, long-lasting implant solutions.
