Dr. Rhett Sutton
Dr. Rhett Sutton grew up part of a big family (he is the seventh of eight children) in Idaho. As a child, he played all kinds of sports: football, basketball, baseball, and golf. He served a two-year church mission in Alaska before earning his Bachelor of Science from Brigham Young University-Idaho and his Doctor of Dental Medicine from Roseman University of Health Sciences College of Dental Medicine in South Jordan, Utah.
Early on, Dr. Sutton knew he wanted to help people as a doctor, but he wasn’t sure which type. He devoted himself to his education, but after shadowing several medical doctors, he found he did not enjoy his experiences and began to feel uneasy about his career decision. Trusting that everything would work out, he continued along his path and began to explore other areas of medicine. That’s when he shadowed his brother-in-law, a dentist, an experience that made a profound impact on his life. When he saw his brother-in-law bring relief to a patient whose tooth had been causing her problems for years, Dr. Sutton knew he had found his calling and that he had been on the right path all along.
The opportunity to help people out of pain still motivates Dr. Sutton as a dentist today. A member of the American Dental Association, he is passionate about restoring healthy function to patients through dental implants and other treatments. For patients who struggle with dental anxiety, he enjoys the privilege of bringing hope, providing comfortable care, and watching them overcome fear. Driven to help his patients build confidence, he also loves providing cosmetic treatment. In all aspects of dentistry, Dr. Sutton maintains a focus on health and prevention. He seeks the least invasive path toward all functional and aesthetic goals.
Dr. Sutton lives in Mesa with his wife of over 10 years, Samantha, and their son, Smith. In his free time, he enjoys golfing, hiking, camping, traveling, and exploring new foods.
