I called at 5am because I had toothache pain that kept me up all night. By 8am I got a phone call that they could have me in at 10:15am THE SAME DAY!! I decided to take the 2:15pm appointment, and they had me in at 2:10 and out by 2:30. Though everyone may not have that experience, it was very efficient! As for my experience, the hygienist was friendly and the doctor was very careful while he was trying to identify the source of my pain, which was very nice compared to most dentists Ive been to! I had the option to watch Netflix while I was being worked on, but didnt need it. He was able to explain the source of my pain by pointing out specific spots on my xray, versus just telling me what was wrong. Its nice to know whats going on with your body, and I think he gets that. If you take anything from my review, just know youre in good hands with Dr. Updike and his team. Keep up the good work!

My husband and I have been going with Dr. Updike in the past 6 years. He provides excellent and professional dental services. Never have I felt he was overcharging us or recommending services that are not needed. In fact, in all his visits, Dr. Updike provides personal and patient-centered services. He is one of a kind. Soon my son (toddler) will have Dr. Updike as his main dentist. His new office location demonstrate his attention to detail and providing a full service that is patient-focused. Each room is equipped with flat screens and speakers to watch your favorite Netflix show or listen to some music. From the front desk to the dental hygienist, all staff is professional and friendly. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

Ive been going there for quite some time now and the crew that runs that ship is great. Ive referred most of my coworkers at our start-up company to go there and as our company grows more of us keep referring the new people to Spencer. As a consequence, he has now become our unofficial official company dentist. My kids started going there as soon as they were old enough to warrant going to a dentist and they have a great time (well as good of a time as one can have at the dentist). You wont be disappointed... well that is unless he tells you a root canal is in your future. :-)

I really enjoyed having Spencer as my dentist and I enjoyed the fact they always sent me text messages when my 6 month visit was due, but I did not like the high turn-around they had for their hygienists. I felt that while the dentist was great and the customer service was superb, the time the dental hygienists spent on my teeth was too short. I would have stayed at this practice if Dr. Updike had more experienced dental hygienists.

So, nothing exciting about goint to get old fillings drilled or replaced. However, South Temple Dental did an awesome job of getting me in on time, making me comfortable and really making it an effortless appointment. I was out of the chair and onto my workout and had forgetten all about the experience by the time I got a follow up call to be sure everything had gone well. Thank you!

I stalled and stalled for nearly three weeks before finally deciding to have the cavity in my tooth checked out and fixed. But after my visit to south temple dental, I realize there was no reason to stress. They did a quick, efficient job of filling the damaged tooth. The procedure wasnt a big burden on the wallet either, though I had no dental insurance.

I have severe dental anxiety and have had terrible experiences in the past with dentists. This location has friendly staff, professional assistants and dr Updike did a great job on my cleaning and fillings. They were very accommodating and sensitive to my anxiety. They have Netflix to watch while they do the work and are very considerate

The staff and Dr. Updike were friendly and courteous. I was feeling a little tired, but they didnt take it personally or push me to talk too much. They provided me with a gentle cleaning, an extra x-ray to be safe, and pointed out areas I need to be diligent with. All in all, everything I expect from a dentist.

When I first went to South Temple Dental, I hadnt been to the dentist in years, so I was really nervous about things--but they did everything they could to put me at ease, and helped me get my teeth back in order. Spencer Updike is a great dentist and I love the office staff. I would recommend them to anyone.

Dr. Spencer is---in my view---the best Dentist I have ever used. He explains things, all work has been virtually painless, and his new Office is not only classy & professional, but it has the most amazing views of Salt Lake City there could be. Great Dentist, great Staff. In my opinion, they are the Best.

I have the typical fear of the dentist but the staff and Dr. Updike always make me feel calm and welcome. They really make the experience as pleasant as possible for me. They work well will my insurance company so there is never any guess work or hassle. I refer them every chance I get.

I appreciate that South Temple Dental sees me at the time of my appointment. I am always in the chair within 10 min of my scheduled time. Also, Dr. Updike is thorough in his assessments, but I am in and out in a very reasonable amount of time. Great care by the whole team.

This is really the most pleasant dental experience you can have. Great dentist, friendly helpful staff. I love the text reminders for appointments and Ann could not be more pleasant to deal with for administrative stuff. I wish every business worked like this.

I love going to the dentist just as much as the next guy, but as usual, Dr. Updike and his staff made my visit pleasant and virtually painless. I like the atmosphere in the office there and I appreciate the timely manner in which I get in and out.

I HATE going to the dentist like most people, but I have been impressed with Dr. Shakespeare. He is easy going and easy to talk to, and has had good results. I do admit the hygenists do push the whitening a bit, but most dentist do that now.

Dr. Updyke does great work on teeth, explains what he is doing and why, and does an excellent job creating a relaxing and even enjoyable environment (not an easy thing to do at a dental office). Ive come to enjoy my dental visits.
