Meet Your Dentist in Layton, UT

Steven Christensen, DDS

Dr. Steven Christensen has been practicing dentistry in Layton, Utah since 1987, bringing 39 years of clinical experience to every patient he serves. His philosophy of care is simple: service before self. He earned his dental degree from Creighton University School of Dentistry in 1987 and is a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry.

Dr. Christensen has spent decades incorporating new technology and techniques into his practice while maintaining a commitment to predictable, evidence-based patient care. He continues his education nearly every day, averaging over 100 hours per year — more than six times the requirement for professional licensing.

Dental Implant Experience

The first implant cases Dr. Christensen worked on were in 1986, working alongside Dr. Irwin Small, one of the pioneers of modern dental implantology. At that time, dental implant placement was a hospital-based procedure that required an overnight stay and often cost more than a new car. Over the past four decades, Dr. Christensen has witnessed and embraced the remarkable advances that have transformed implant dentistry. Improvements in implant design, surface technology, 3D digital imaging, guided implant surgery, and treatment planning now allow implants to be placed more accurately, comfortably, and predictably than ever before.

Clear Aligner Therapy

Dr. Christensen has been providing clear aligner therapy since Invisalign first became available to general dentists in the early 2000s. Having treated patients with Invisalign for more than two decades, he has seen the technology evolve from its early stages into today's highly sophisticated orthodontic system. Modern clear aligners can address a broader range of orthodontic concerns with greater precision, improved comfort, and more predictable results than ever before. Dr. Christensen is recognized as a Gold Level Provider for Pro Monitoring clear aligners.

One advancement that has been especially valuable for both patients and the team is remote treatment monitoring. Patients can securely submit photos of their teeth from home, or even while traveling, and Dr. Christensen can evaluate their progress, confirm that treatment is moving as planned, and recommend adjustments when necessary. This technology helps reduce unnecessary office visits while ensuring every patient continues to receive close professional supervision throughout treatment.

Whether restoring a missing tooth with a dental implant or creating a healthier, more confident smile with clear aligners, Dr. Christensen combines decades of clinical experience with today's most advanced techniques to provide personalized, high-quality care for every patient.
