DR. Dan Thunell
Board-Certified Periodontist
Dr. Dan Thunell is a board-certified periodontist dedicated to helping patients preserve their natural teeth and restore oral health through advanced periodontal and implant care. His approach combines careful diagnosis, precise surgical technique, and long-term treatment planning.
Dr. Thunell is actively involved in dental education and has served on the faculty at the University of Utah School of Dentistry since 2012, where he provides both clinical and didactic instruction. He has also contributed to the school’s interdisciplinary dental implant clinic, helping train dentists in implant planning and treatment.
Patients value Dr. Thunell’s thoughtful and measured approach. He takes time to explain conditions and treatment options clearly so patients feel informed and confident in their decisions.
His philosophy is grounded in preserving natural teeth whenever possible, and when that is not predictable, providing implant solutions that are stable, functional, and natural in appearance.
Outside of work, Dr. Thunell enjoys spending time with his family and cycling the scenic roads of Utah.
