Happy Inconvenience Yourself Day!

— Pope John Paul II

In Partnership with Pfeifferhorn Dental
Modern solution for missing teeth

With 14 years of experience and thousands of successful implants under his belt, Dr. Mark Jardine knows how to make the process of getting an implant smooth, comfortable, and totally stress-free. Also, all dental implant consultations at Pfeifferhorn Dental are currently free!

If you're wondering what a dental implant is, it's basically a modern and long-lasting solution for missing or damaged teeth. Unlike dental bridges, (another solution for missing teeth, and something dentists have been performing since Ancient Egypt), implants don't require drilling into healthy teeth. They look and feel just like your natural teeth. They also help keep your jawbone healthy, and with the right care they can last a lifetime.

If you're curious if implants are right for you then give Dr. J a call! Call/text 801-615-2917 or click here to schedule your free consultation.

Emails issues

Gmail might be hiding some or our emails from you. Why? Because they include local restaurant deals and other sales. If you don’t want Gmail to hide our emails from you just because it mentions deals around Provo and Orem then you might need reply to our emails occasionally, and/or “train” your inbox. How to do that

Also, we’ve had reports about formatting issues when viewing these emails on an Android device. We apologize about that. We don’t know what’s going on, but our service provider says they are working on it… 🤷
