Dr. Christopher S. Johnson

We specialize in creating healthy, beautiful smiles. Using state-of-the art equipment and the latest technology, we provide complete dental care in a gentle, efficient, and courteous manner. Dr. Johnson and his staff are dedicated to help every patient enjoy a beautiful smile.

Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

Dr. Johnson has been in practice as a dentist in Draper, Utah since 1999, and his family has practiced dentistry in Utah since 1970. He received an undergraduate degree in Medical Sciences and received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Colorado School of Dentistry. Dr. Johnson has received additional training in dental implants, oral sedation, cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, patient care, pediatric dentistry, and a certification from the Sargon® Dental Implant Institute. He was born and raised in Salt Lake City, and he and his wife, Janice, love raising their four children in the Salt Lake Valley.

What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?

For some people, visiting the dentist can be a nerve-wracking experience. We work hard at South Mountain Dental to remove as much of that worry as possible. Dr. Johnson has created a relaxing environment for all of his patients, and has carefully trained his staff to be attentive to your personal needs and concerns. He has a very gentle touch when working in your mouth, and most patients find that they do great just having our staff talk them through their treatment. If you are particularly fearful of dental treatment, Dr. Johnson can help you by administrating an oral medication to help you relax before treatment. We offer sedation dentistry as a way to help you through the dental process. We will spend time discussing your concerns and planning your treatment. The important thing is to let us know about your fears. We can help! If you are interested in learning more about sedation dentistry, please contact our staff to set up a consultation.

What are you proud of in your practice?

It is important not to take your dental health for granted and to get regular checkups. Our dentists in Sandy Utah try to make it as enjoyable an experience as we possibly can, even though we know that visiting a Sandy Dentist is not everyone’s idea of a good time! A dentist ultimately needs to be someone that you really trust, because we appreciate that opening your mouth to a stranger is not always the easiest thing to do! It is very much our hope and desire that while we may start off that way, that by the end of your visit you will start to think of us as friends.

Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

Our dental hygiene department is very important to us. We have several highly qualified, extensively trained dental hygienists that work with you to help you have the best oral health possible. During your biannual visit, we do a thorough cleaning that removes not only cavity-causing calculus, but also unsightly stains and plaque. During the exam, we look for gum disease, oral cancers, as well as any tooth abnormalities that need to be addressed. If you come in regularly, we can catch problems before they become major issues.
