Dr. Tyler Williams built Pinecrest Dental for patients who are tired of being over-treated, under-explained, and shuffled through like a number. Twenty years, thousands of patients, and one conviction: keep more of your natural smile.
Early in his career, Dr. Williams noticed a pattern that bothered him: patients were being drilled, crowned, and rushed through a system built around what insurance allowed — not what their teeth actually needed. He set out to build the opposite.
Over more than 20 years serving Salt Lake County, he developed the PRISM protocol — a biomimetic approach that has reduced root canals 2–5× for Pinecrest patients by conserving natural tooth structure instead of replacing it. He is an AAID implant member, an AOBMD member, an AGD Peer Reviewer, and has been named to America's Best Dentists three years running.
But the credential patients mention most is simpler: he's the first dentist who ever slowed down and explained what was happening in their mouth — and why it mattered.
The tooth you were born with is stronger than anything we can build. Conserving it is the first principle of everything we do.
You should see what the doctor sees and understand every option before you decide. Informed patients make better choices — always.
Your airway, your sleep, and your bite are connected to your dental health. We look at the whole picture, not just one tooth.
The best dentistry happens inside a long relationship built on trust — which is why we stake every new visit on a money-back guarantee.
Dr. Williams practices alongside associate dentist Dr. Marcus Pope, DDS, who shares the same biomimetic, patient-first philosophy. Together with a warm, tenured team, they've built a practice where you're greeted by name and never treated like a chart number.
Dr. Williams also leads Better Sleep & TMJ SLC, a sister practice focused on airway health, sleep, and jaw-joint care — so patients who need that expertise have it under the same trusted roof.

"The $67 consultation was the best $67 I've ever spent. I got more information in 90 minutes than in 20 years of dental visits combined. Dr. Williams explained everything and I left with a clear plan — and actual hope about my teeth."
"Two dentists told me I needed a root canal. Dr. Williams used the PRISM protocol and saved my tooth without one. That was three years ago. That tooth has never given me a problem. I tell everyone I know."
"I hadn't been to a dentist in 11 years because of fear. The free sedation in the consult was the thing that got me in the door. I cried afterward — not from pain, but from relief that it was finally done. This team is extraordinary."
Book the $67 Smile Health Consultation and meet Dr. Williams for yourself. If it isn't the best 40–60 minutes you've ever spent on your health, your $67 back on the spot.
