He loves the ability to immediately relieve pain and discomfort while simultaneously restoring a cosmetic smile. Dr. Knapton graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Utah Valley University in Orem, UT, and then continued onto dental school at Roseman University in South Jordan, Utah where he obtained both his DMD and MBA while fathering three children with his wife.
