Meet Dr. Michael Affleck – A Specialist Committed to Your Family’s Dental Health
I'm Dr. Michael Affleck, a proud resident of Syracuse, Utah.
If you're in West Point and searching for the best dental care for your family, I invite you to consider Affleck Dental Restoration & Prosthodontics—a practice that offers a level of expertise and care that sets us apart from the rest.
When I graduated from dental school in 2001, I had the option to start my practice immediately. However, I chose a different path—one that would allow me to provide the highest level of care possible. I was drawn to the challenge of restoring function and beauty to smiles affected by complex dental health issues. But just as importantly, I wanted to be an exceptional primary dentist—the kind I would trust for my own family.
That passion led me to complete an additional three years of residency training at the University of Iowa, working alongside some of the best dentists, prosthodontists, and oral surgeons in the field. This advanced training gave me a new level of insight and expertise—a deeper ability to diagnose, prevent, and treat dental issues at every stage, even for routine family care.
Now, 23 years later, I dedicate much of my time to specialty restorative dentistry, helping patients with severe cases regain function and confidence. But what I’m equally passionate about is using that advanced knowledge to serve families as their primary dentist—offering a higher standard of care that ensures long-term dental health and wellness.
Families in West Point have already experienced the Affleck Dental difference, benefiting from my specialized training in ways they wouldn’t have elsewhere.
I would love to provide the same level of care for your family. Here’s how I can make a difference as your primary dentist:
As a prosthodontist, I specialize in restoring function and beauty to damaged or missing teeth. But just as important as restoring function is preventing its loss in the first place.
A general dentist focuses on routine care and prevention, while a prosthodontist has advanced training in both prevention and restoration. This expertise allows me to preserve your natural teeth for as long as possible, helping you avoid crowns, veneers, bridges, implants—even fillings—whenever possible.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and intervention for dental development issues. Prosthodontists are uniquely trained to recognize and address concerns like tooth wear, minor misalignments, and growth anomalies—even before major problems arise. By taking a proactive approach, I help patients of all ages maintain strong, healthy teeth for a lifetime. And if restorative care is ever needed, you can trust you’re in the best possible hands.
Think of it like building a home: Would you rather hire a general contractor or a contractor who’s also an architect? The second sees every detail others might miss, ensuring the most functional, lasting, and beautiful result.
The same applies to Affleck Dental—our specialized expertise ensures your family receives the highest standard of care, now and in the future.
Beyond function, a confident, beautiful smile can make a world of difference at any age. My three-year residency focused heavily on aesthetic dentistry, ensuring that every restoration—whether a simple inlay or a full-mouth reconstruction—looks completely natural and lasts for years.
While the American Dental Association doesn’t officially recognize “cosmetic dentistry” as a specialty, prosthodontic training provides the most in-depth expertise available in this area. If you care about both the health and appearance of your smile, a prosthodontist is the best choice.
And at Affleck Dental, our approach benefits every stage of life:
Children: Early intervention corrects development issues, setting them up for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Adults: Whether it’s repairing a chipped tooth or replacing a missing one, we ensure long-lasting results.
Seniors: Advanced restorative options improve both function and quality of life—making eating, speaking, and smiling effortless again.
I chose to specialize in prosthodontics not only to tackle complex cases but also to offer the highest level of care to families like yours. By combining specialty expertise with general dentistry, I provide comprehensive care that meets all your family’s needs in one place.
🦷 Emily, Age 10: Emily’s parents were worried about her grinding her teeth at night (bruxism). Left untreated, this could lead to serious damage. We created a custom night guard and provided stress management tips suited for her age—protecting her smile before problems began.
🦷 James, Age 35: After an accident damaged his front tooth, James was concerned about his professional appearance. We crafted a perfectly matched crown, restoring his confidence and function seamlessly.
🦷 Margaret, Age 68: Struggling with missing teeth, Margaret had difficulty eating and speaking. With implant-supported dentures, she regained comfort, confidence, and the ability to enjoy meals and conversations again.
Finding the right dentist means considering both function and aesthetics—but also cost. At Affleck Dental, we provide specialist-level care without specialist pricing—ensuring you get the best results at no extra cost.
If you haven’t visited us before, let our front desk know you’re from West Point to receive our new patient discount for families and individuals.
We can’t wait for you to experience the Affleck Dental difference.
