Ask us: most plans still process 80–100% of preventive care even when out-of-network. Don't assume no coverage until we've checked for you.

No dental insurance? Ask about the VIP Membership Plan.

Our in-house membership plan is a straightforward alternative to insurance. $29/month covers your exams, cleanings, and X-rays, plus 20% off every other treatment. No deductibles, no yearly maximums, no waiting period. Periodontal patients: ask about the VIP Perio Plan at $44/month.

What makes us different

The dentistry is the same everywhere. The people aren't.

Dr. Tillmann says it plainly: down the street they do the same crowns and root canals. What's different here is how you're treated from the moment you check in, and how much stays in-house. Dr. Nelson is IV sedation certified and teaches it to other dentists, nitrous is plumbed into every operatory, and the office rule is simple: if anything hurts, you stop us and we fix it.

01 · In-house

Wisdom teeth, implants, root canals

Surgery, implants and implant-retained dentures, endodontics, and most aligner cases are done here, not referred across town.

02 · Calm

Nitrous, oral, and IV sedation

Laughing gas in every room, oral sedatives for longer visits, and IV sedation with Dr. Nelson or a nurse anesthetist for bigger cases. Many patients start sedated and later need only nitrous.

03 · Same-day

CEREC crowns in one visit

Your crown is designed on screen and milled in about 15 minutes. No temporary, no messy impressions, done in just over an hour.

04 · Sleep

Sleep apnea appliances

OPTISLEEP custom oral appliances for snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea, and for CPAP patients who can't tolerate the mask. Dr. Tillmann's signature service.

05 · Family

Kids, teens, and grandparents

First exams from 12 to 18 months, sealants around ages 6 and 12, and emergency care for all ages. Three dentists means your whole family can be seen together.

06 · Local

900 East, north of Wheeler Farm

5888 S 900 E, Suite 101, with evening hours until 6 on Mondays and Thursdays, serving Murray, Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, Midvale, Taylorsville, and Sandy.

Meet Your Dentists

Drs. Dane Nelson, Wes Tillmann, and Jordan Whatcott

Dr. Wes Tillmann is a second-generation dentist who grew up watching his father practice, graduated from Case Western Reserve in 2009, and has served 20 years in the Utah National Guard, including dental humanitarian missions abroad. Patients know him for sleep apnea care and for the patience he brings to people who are afraid of the chair.

Dr. Dane Nelson, a University of Utah and Roseman University graduate, is IV sedation certified and teaches sedation to other doctors; surgery, implants, and full-mouth cases are his specialty. Dr. Jordan Whatcott, a former professional baseball player and Roseman's Quintessence Award winner in restorative dentistry, handles cosmetic, implant, and clear aligner cases.

"Everyone gives that patient a sense that they belong there, that they're in the right place, and they're welcome here."

Questions we hear a lot

Answers before you even call.

What insurance do you take?

We're in-network with Aetna, Ameritas, Cigna, Delta Dental, Dental Select, DMBA, EMI Health, MetLife, PEHP, Select Health, United Concordia, UnitedHealthcare, Regence BlueCross BlueShield, and TRICARE, including several Medicare Advantage plans, and we accept most other major plans. Call (801) 281-8433 and we'll check yours while you're on the phone.

What if I don't have insurance?

Join the VIP Membership Plan: $29 a month covers two exams, two cleanings, two fluoride applications, annual X-rays, and an emergency visit, plus 20% off other treatment (ortho and implants excluded, and the discount doesn't combine with third-party financing). A VIP Perio Plan is $44 a month, and there's a one-time $100 enrollment fee for monthly members.

Do you offer sedation?

Yes, three kinds. Nitrous oxide is plumbed into every operatory, oral sedatives are available for longer visits, and Dr. Nelson is IV sedation certified, with a nurse anesthetist for larger cases. Tell us when you book and we'll plan your visit around it.

Do you really do implants and wisdom teeth in the office?

Yes. Wisdom teeth, implants, implant-retained dentures, root canals, and most aligner cases are handled in-house by our three dentists rather than referred out, so you stay with the team you already know.

Can I get a crown in one visit?

Yes. With CEREC, your crown is designed on screen, milled in about 15 minutes, and placed the same day. No temporary and no impression material to bite on.

Do you see kids?

Yes. We recommend a first visit between 12 and 18 months, place sealants around ages 6 and 12, and our whole team is trained to help young patients feel comfortable. We work with pediatric specialists when a child needs more than a family visit provides.

What are your hours and where are you?

Monday and Thursday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Tuesday and Wednesday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Friday 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, at 5888 S 900 E, Suite 101, Murray, UT 84121, just north of Wheeler Farm. Se habla español.
