Dr. Dan Thunell

Dr. Dan Thunell has wanted to be a dentist since he was three years old. He is passionate about preserving his patients’ natural teeth for as long as possible, and for creating a natural looking smile when surgical intervention is needed.

Dr. Thunell has been on faculty at the University of Utah School of Dentistry since 2012 providing clinical and didactic instruction, and contributing to the school’s interdisciplinary dental implant clinic. Additionally, he is board-certified by the American Board of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, served as a regional representative to the American Academy of Periodontology for many years, and is a past president of the Intermountain Society of Periodontists and Holladay District Dental Society. He received his DMD from the University of Pittsburgh and his specialty certificate in Periodontics from the University of Iowa.

When he is not working or playing with his family, he can be found cycling the roads of Utah.
