Dr. Dan Whiting
Childhood and Introduction to Dentistry
Dr. Dan Whiting was born and raised in the picturesque surroundings of the Rocky Mountains, just south of Salt Lake City, Utah. Growing up, he developed a profound love for nature and the great outdoors through activities like scouting. His enthusiasm for outdoor pursuits led him to engage in mountain biking, hiking, and fishing whenever the opportunity arose. At the age of 19, Dr. Whiting embarked on a two-year mission in Moscow, Russia, where he not only immersed himself in the culture and language but also had the fortunate encounter of meeting Jenny McIntyre, a fellow missionary and the daughter of Dr. Joe and Becky McIntyre. After completing their missions, both Dr. Whiting and Jenny attended Brigham Young University. Initially a political science major, Dr. Whiting’s marriage introduced him to the world of dentistry, ultimately inspiring him to pursue this rewarding career path. He went on to attend dental school at Temple University in Philadelphia, graduating in 2009.
Passion for Dentistry and Continuous Learning
In August 2010, Dr. Whiting joined Smiles for Life and has since exhibited an unwavering commitment to learning and excelling in various aspects of dentistry. He has sought advanced training in areas such as cosmetics, implants, orthodontics, sleep disorders, and same-day Cerec crowns, demonstrating his dedication to providing comprehensive care for his patients. Dr. Whiting finds great joy in meeting and helping his patients, working alongside his exceptional team to create beautiful smiles that can be cherished for a lifetime.
Love of Family and Home Remodeling
Dr. Whiting and his wife share a deep love for remodeling homes, having successfully completed three house renovations. Their remarkable skills in transforming houses have earned them the endearing nickname “Fixer Uppers,” reminiscent of the popular duo Chip and Joanna Gaines. Driven by a strong work ethic, Dr. Whiting wholeheartedly dedicates himself to his remodeling projects, actively involving his five children in the learning process. Balancing work and play, he cherishes moments spent with his children in the great outdoors, engaging in activities like hikes, bike rides, campfire gatherings, and creating new adventures during family travels. Swimming, playing games, and fostering a sense of togetherness are also paramount in their family life. Dr. Whiting and his wife, Jenny, additionally contribute to their community by coaching FIRST Lego League robotics teams and generously serving in their church and beyond.
Dr. Dan Whiting’s life story encompasses his profound connection to nature, the importance of family, and his unwavering dedication to dentistry. With a genuine love for the outdoors and a passion for transforming smiles, he continues to make a positive impact on his patients’ lives and the community he serves.
