Dr. David Lawrence is a dedicated pediatric dentist at our Salt Lake office who provides compassionate and specialized oral care. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Utah, after which he pursued his passion for dentistry at Temple University in Philadelphia where he graduated summa cum laude. Before his specialty training, Dr. Lawrence worked at both a cleft palate clinic and a pediatric dental office. He quickly realized his desire for working with children and furthered his training as chief resident at the nationally ranked Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital and Case Western Reserve University.

As a pediatric dentist, Dr. Lawrence’s approach is to create a welcoming environment where children feel comfortable, safe, and even excited to visit the dentist. He enjoys partnering with families to establish healthy habits that support lifelong wellness as well as to help children develop the confidence and knowledge they need to maintain healthy smiles for years to come.

Dr. Lawrence’s favorite moments come from time spent with his wife and their four children. Together they enjoy cooking, adventuring outside, and traveling to new places. He also enjoys woodworking and creating art through a variety of forms.
