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.

Cathy is always amazing. She remembers personal care details about my visit each time which shows me that she is a great listener, she has heard me and follows through with such care.

I had Dr. Whiting for the first time and the practice will be in excellent hands when Dr. McIntire retires in Sept. He was profesional yet had an engaging demeanor when interacting with me. What makes this practice exceptional is the support staff- the welcoming friendliness of the front desk and the business office personnel. In particular, I would like to give high praises to the dental technician, Faith. She is warm, engaging and puts you at ease. She educates you during the whole process and is extremely knowledgeable about the procedures. Without a doubt, this is the best dental practice in the Valley.

Dr. Whiting and staff did an excellent job. They were respectful, professional, and very helpful during the process of getting some dental implants. They expedited my appointments to get my new teeth before Father’s Day. Very happy with the results!

Dr. Mac performed a small miracle for me yesterday during my appointment. I was having an issue with my temporary bridge and he squeezed me in with his other patients to fix it. He went to great lengths to help me and I am very grateful. Thank you SFL!!

I had every intention of shopping around before committing to the extensive dental work I needed. However, after visiting the practice and seeing how dedicated they were to making life changing improvement for their patients, I looked no further. It is a process, starting with evaluations, recommendations, x-rays and scheduling. Beginning with my first appointment I marveled at the kindness, care and professionalism I received. I was taken care of skillfully and gently as we began my transformation. Today, June 6, 2024, I left their office with a beautiful smile without discoloration, wear, and misaligned teeth, and I now have a corrected bite and completely restored teeth that I am proud to show. Dr. Geo is very caring and meticulous, striving to complete his work with skill and perfection. I’m so glad that I came to Smiles For Life.

Smiles for Life has taken care of my dentistry needs for the last 6 years or so. Other offices in the past have had difficult times fitting me in when I needed an appointment. That hasn’t been the case here. Today, I needed to reschedule my appointment for next Monday, and they had an opening today with Cathy Batton instead of my regular hygienist. Cathy does a great job with years of experience and has a way about her to make you feel comfortable.

Alex, . Morgan, and Dr Geo are very personable and professional. I felt very relaxed the entire visit.I especially appreciated Dr. Geo's careful mouth and teeth exam. They explained everything step by step and allowed time for questions.

On my first visit I meet Becky, we sat down and talked about everything they do there and she allowed me to tell her about my issues with my teeth and she felt that they could help me with my problem. This is the first time I have ever been able to explain, in detail, about my past and present experiences with my dental problems. She made me feel very comfortable in taking about my care and what I would like to have done with my denture issue's. I have set up my next appointment to have x-rays done and feel very good about that! I'm looking forward to my visit and what they have to say about fixing my problem .
