Dr. J. Shea Bess is a Utah native and loves the state. He was born and raised in the Salt Lake Valley and graduated from Bingham High School in 1991. He married a beautiful South Jordan girl in 1994. He attended the University of Utah and obtained a bachelor’s degree in medical biology. He then moved on to dental school at Loma Linda University in southern California. Loma Linda University is owned by the Seventh Day Adventist Church, and he enjoyed the people and appreciated their strong value system. Dr. Bess and his wife have four great boys. They are his focus in life and he loves spending time with his wife and kids, especially outdoors!

Service has always been a big part of Dr. Bess’ life. He has provided dentistry in Fiji and Guatemala, and serves locally at Give Kids A Smile annually to help underprivileged children with their dental needs. He worked part-time for a few years, with the Navajo Nation to provide dental care to Native Americans in Southern Utah.

Dr. Bess presents continuing education courses to dentists all over the United States on his research and development on products through Ultradent. He works to help them excel at providing the highest quality of care wherever their practice is located. Ultradent is always producing and manufacturing the next best thing in dentistry. His involvement started in January of 2003 and is a great way for him to stay a step ahead on the latest technology by playing a role in the research and development of many products that have not yet reached the dental community.   

Dr. Bess has a goal to be happy and believes strongly that with the correct attitude, atmosphere, and people, something as dreaded as a root canal can be tolerable, and on occasion even fun. His greatest hope at work is that when his patients leave his office they feel like they have gone to see some friends!
