"I was referred to Affleck Dental by my customer who “white knuckles” it in a dentist chair!! I have the same issue… even with just a cleaning! So far so good and I am not stressing a week before! Also had major work done ending in implants! They did great work!"

Hi, I’m Dr. Michael Affleck, and I’d love to be your family’s dentist.
I live in Syracuse, Utah, and if you’re from Layton and looking for the best dental care for your family, I hope you’ll consider Affleck Dental Restoration & Prosthodontics.
We offer something truly unique—expert dental care that goes beyond the basics.
When I finished dental school in 2001, I thought about opening a practice right away. But I felt a strong pull to do more—to become an expert in restoring function and beauty to smiles, especially for patients with complex dental needs. At the same time, I also wanted to be the best possible primary dentist—the kind of dentist I’d want for my own family.
That’s why I spent three extra years in residency training at the University of Iowa, working alongside some of the best dentists, prosthodontists, and oral surgeons in the field. That hands-on experience was invaluable. It gave me a completely new perspective on dentistry—one that allows me to see solutions other dentists might miss, even for the most routine dental care.
Now, more than 20 years later, I continue to focus on specialty care for complex cases, just as I had planned. But what I love just as much is using my advanced training to provide top-quality care for families as their primary dentist.
Many families from Layton have trusted me with their care, and I’m proud to say they’ve benefited in ways they wouldn’t have if I hadn’t chosen to specialize all those years ago.
I’d love the opportunity to do the same for your family. If you’re looking for a dentist who truly prioritizes long-term results, I’d be honored to help.
Let’s talk soon!

At Affleck Dental, we believe that great dental care is about more than just fixing problems—it’s about preventing them in the first place. That’s why we take a comprehensive approach to keeping your family’s teeth strong, healthy, and beautiful for life.
Most general dentists focus on routine cleanings, fillings, and basic care. While that’s important, having a prosthodontist as your primary dentist takes your care to the next level.
Prosthodontists are highly trained specialists in restoring and preserving teeth, making sure they function properly and look completely natural. Dr. Affleck completed three extra years of advanced training beyond dental school, which means he can provide a higher level of care—whether it’s a simple checkup or a complex restoration.
The best dental care helps you avoid the need for crowns, veneers, bridges, implants, and dentures whenever possible. A prosthodontist's expertise goes beyond repair—it includes identifying early signs of potential problems and stopping them before they require major treatment.
For example, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis in children to prevent developmental issues with teeth. Prosthodontists are particularly skilled in spotting these issues early, making sure your child’s teeth grow in properly to prevent complications down the road.
If you or a family member ever do need a restoration, you can feel confident knowing you’re in the best hands possible. Dr. Affleck’s expertise in custom crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures means your results will be stronger, longer-lasting, and more natural-looking than standard dental work.
Think of it like building a home: You could hire a general contractor or a contractor who’s also an architect. Which one do you think would create a more functional, well-designed home? That’s the kind of difference we bring to your dental care at Affleck Dental.
Beyond functionality, a great smile can boost your confidence at any stage of life. While cosmetic dentistry isn’t officially recognized as a specialty by the American Dental Association, prosthodontists receive the most in-depth training when it comes to aesthetic restorations that look completely natural.
We see patients of all ages, and our approach benefits everyone:
✅ Children – Early intervention ensures proper function and a confident smile as they grow.
✅ Adults – Repairs and restorations protect long-term health and keep smiles youthful.
✅ Seniors – Advanced solutions, like implant-supported dentures, improve comfort and quality of life.
