Orthodontist
As your orthodontist, I pledge to provide my patients with the highest quality of care, using only the best materials, state-of-the-art technology, and leading-edge treatments. You deserve an incredible smile and an amazing orthodontic experience; my team and I will deliver both.
I look forward to meeting and getting to know you on a personal level. It’s a pleasure to spend my days talking and laughing with people who’ve become my friends, and I’d be honored to do the same with you.
I promise to care for you the way I would care for someone in my family: with kindness and respect.

Personal Life
I was raised in Salt Lake City and graduated from Skyline High School. Following graduation, I served a 2-year church mission to South Korea before returning to the U.S. and pursuing my degrees.
I now live in Sandy with my wife, Heidi Ryan. We’re the proud parents of four children: three sons and a daughter. Our oldest son, Tony Jr., followed in my footsteps and is now an orthodontist. Our two younger sons, Jeff and David, elected to pursue degrees in medicine. Our daughter Sarah currently attends BYU.
