Dr. Duke is beyond fantastic. They’ve made me feel taken care of here. Dr. Duke even talks with me directly for my after care and when I have questions, and the staff is great, so willing to be helpful. It’s been an amazing dental experience.
I've been going to this dentist for 20 years and never had a bad experience. Professional, friendly, and take great care of my teeth. Highly recommend.
The new hygienist and assistant were amazing!
Very professional. They explain things well. Great experience!
Dr. Duke. is a fantastic person and a wonderful dentist. A complete gentleman who obviously cares for his patience. Very personable. Meggin is fantastic as well. She has been there for years and treats every patient as though they are a friend. A very competent hygienist. My family has been going to focus dental for many years.
Dr Van Alfen is an excellent dentist. He is patient, his demeanor makes you feel comfortable and at ease and he is thorough and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him. The office staff are always helpful and happy to help too!
Dr. Duke and the Focus staff have always been great! This is, by far, the best experience I have ever had at a dentist's office. Highly Recommended!
I was very nervous coming in today for a tooth extraction and the staff was very nice and friendly and the doctor Van Alfen is amazing at what he does, I would definitely recommend focus dental!!!
Have been going there for years. They are always friendly and personable. The staff always takes time to get to know me and what is going on in my life. I would recommend them highly
Dr. Duke and Stephanie are so nice and such professionals !! They have made me feel comfortable with all of my dental needs. I highly recommend Focus Dental..

It’s always nice to see everyone at Focus Dental Group and the hygienist named Megan is HOT!
They really helped me overcome my dental anxiety
Treatments and recommendations given were genuine and informative. Felt very comfortable and confident in the care I received from Dr. Duke and all the staff.
Always such a great experience when I go to Focus Dentsl. Very pleasant staff and very knowledgeable Dental staff. Love them.
They make me feel I am in good hands and comfortable at all times.
Dr. Van Alfen and his staff are always pleasant and so efficient. I appreciate that they are sensitive to my time but also take the time to thoroughly explore any concerns I have.
I don't love going to the dentist, but this was a painless and professional experience. I will be back.
Superb, professional and actually painless cleaning and check up. I wholeheartedly recommend Focus Dental to everybody I know!
I drive 45min to this office & see Dr VanAlfen. He’s AMAZING & his staff is outstanding! Honestly, you can’t go wrong with this team, which says a lot coming from me because I’m not a fan of the dentist! Shout out to Babs (my personal fave)!
Best dentists in the valley. Dr. Van Alfen is awesome. Nice, knowledgeable and so gentle if you have to get work done. Staff is great and they have new equipment. Switch to focus!
Want to thank all of you for your very professional help and care, you’ve restored my faith in customer service. Doctor Duke your staff are fabulous people. Thanks again see you soon.
My crown fell off and they were kind enough to fit me in quickly to have it Re-cemented. Thank you!
Best Staff friendly ..I been Dr Van Alfen for 10 years he is awesome the hygienist the assistant everybody is amazing plus the exceptional dental care highly recommend
Best dental place I’ve been to. Very friendly staff and have advanced technologies available
For being the dentist Focus Dental is always a pleasant visit. Great dentist and staff.
Dr. Duke and his staff are always very good to me. Client care is top notch and their work is of the highest quality.
These guys are amazing!
Very friendly. Very professional. Very caring. Very good.
Focus Dental is AWESOME. Thank you Dr Duke and team for getting me in so quickly to take care of my broken tooth.
After having a very stressful experience with my previous dentist, a friend referred me to Dr. Stephen Duke and I haven’t looked back since. That was over 9 years ago - I have had root canals, crowns, you name it, from this practice and have only had the best care. Dr. Duke is up-to-date on modern dental practices and is also incredibly kind and friendly. The receptionists are also great and they always get my family in quickly when we have dental emergencies. We have even had other dentists in the practice step in to help when we needed it. I went through hell and back with my last dentist and I’m so much happier now that I have someone I can trust. I highly recommend Focus Dental!
I love the staff and Dr. Van Alfen! I am always treated as a friend more than a number. I really appreciate the time they take to know me personally and find out how I'm doing. The team is very personable! One of the main reasons I keep going here is the way my children were treated when they were younger. Dr Van Alfen listened well to them and was just really good with them, which was great for me as a parent, seeing how much he respected and listened to them.Today I thought for sure I needed a root canal. After a great visit, I was told there didn't appear to be any infection and we agreed to give it some time to see if the pain I have been feeling is due to other issues. I appreciate knowing work will not be done that does not need to be done, and I won't be charged for things I really don't need.Thanks Dr. Van Alfen! Keep up the great work!
Great Dentist and hygenist. This office is very professional and they provide wonderful service. Highly recommend.
Megan is the best hygienist, thorough, and always goes the extra mile, doing the most she can do and not the least like some dentist offices. and her assistant Kaiden is awesome too! I always feel well taken care of when I’m here, and Dr Duke always has something cutting edge to improve my experience. my favorite things so far was a numbing reversal shot he gave me so I didn’t have to walk around with a numb face for several hours! maybe a small thing, but it’s the little things that can make the most difference.I highly recommend focus dental group!
Fabulous. Every. Single. Time.I’m an anxious patient, but Dr Duke and his staff put me right at ease. The work I have had done is high quality, and at a great price. Looking for a dentist? Do yourself a favor and call Focus!
This is a great dentist office
Always friendly and amazing! I’ve been going here since I was like 3 or 4 and the staff is amazing!
They're
All iI can say is Heather is amazing and easy on the eyes
Dr. Duke and his staff are one of the most professional groups I have ever experienced. The facility is up to date with the most modern equipment and techniques. When I lay down in the chair I am completely confident in Dr. Duke and his people. I can recommend this organization without reservation!
I've been going here for just about 7 years now. Dr. VanAlfen is the best dentist I've seen hands down. Their staff is great as well, I've always felt welcome and never felt like just another face. There is never any pressure here and I feel like they always take great care of my mouth!!I also just did my consult for Invisalign today with them and it was amazing. Very thorough and informative. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
I'm opting for a 6 star rating. I've always been nervous about ever going to the dentist. Not at focus dental. They are the best! Kind and caring professionals who take the time to be gentle and informative. I'm 38 years old and have seen many different dental offices. This dental group is hands down THE BEST! I am looking forward to improving my dental health with the help of the great people at focus dental.
Dr. Duke is the most caring dentist I have had...there have been many. He always takes an interest in our lives. My children have fond memories about going to the dentist because Dr. Duke and his staff are incredible! They are always friendly and kind!
Focus dental is awesome - they always get me in and out in a timely manner, every staff member and hygienist is professional and good at what they are doing (gentle if you need it!) and they have TVs on the ceiling, blankets if you are cold, and massage dental chairs. What more could you want?!
Is it weird that we love going to see Dr.Duke and his amazing staff? We actually like going to the dentist! Dr. Duke did some beautiful bonding on my teenage daughters front teeth. He is such a perfectionist and has an eye for what looks the most natural. She loved the way it turned out and I’m sure it will build her confidence every time she smiles! We Love Focus Dental!
I love these guys! They are fast, professional, and friendly! I recommend them whole heatredly!
Everyone at Dr. Duke's office is so kind, professional, & fun! They always make shie things go smoothly, & even get me laughing. Dr. Duke is great!
My check up with focus dental was excellent, as always. The staff is very accommodating, friendly and through. The checkup was conducted efficiently and all my concerns were addressed. I have been going to Focus dental since they started and have always been very pleased with the care they provided.I wouldn't consider going to a different dentist.
Dr. Van Alfen and his staff are always positive, happy, and professional. Excellent office!
Amazing service and one of the most professionaly run businesses ive ever been to. Dr. Duke is a rock star and staff is beyond on top of it. I broke a tooth while in Europe and they had me in the day I landed at 10AM.
Last year I had an exceptionally awful experience at another dentist. I already dread going to the dentist as it is, but of course following that I really put it off. Finally, though, with the end of the year approaching, and the possibility of losing my FSA funds looming, I sucked it up and started to research other options. Matching up (hopefully) decent dentists with those who accept your insurance is such a fun way to spend an afternoon...Ha! Focus was my first choice, they were accepting new patients, and while the wait was about a month out, they offered to put me on their cancellation list, and I ended up getting in within less than a week!They are located in a large brick office building off 7th East. The whole back is parking, and customer access is through the doors on the east or west sides of the building (the others are employee only). The interior is nicely decorated, reminding me a bit of the medical offices I patronized out East (side note, when I got my wisdom teeth out, I woke up in a library. A LIBRARY!).Focus is upstairs on the right, and their office space is lovely: All warm colors and welcoming. There are big 'ol cushy couches in the waiting room, plus a saltwater aquarium with two way viewing à la Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet. Every employee is so sweet and charming, and not in a fake way. They genuinely seem to enjoy working here and helping patients.Focus has a lot of small touches that I really appreciate: as soon as I sat down for my cleaning I was offered (quality, all natural) lip balm, the view from some of the rooms looks straight across the city to the mountains, TVs are placed 'just so' in the ceiling for easy, comfortable viewing. They even offer cosmetic services for wrinkles and aging!I saw Dr. Van Alfen, and he was so quick and as painless as is possible with my filling. He is pleasant and kind, and though I still don't look forward to dentist visits, I certainly don't dread them as formerly.
The dentists are kind, gentle, and effective. And we love all their personable hygenists and staff.
Focus Dental really is a 5 Star office. The doctors and staff always make me feel comfortable and special. The work they do is impeccable! Highly Recommend!
Dr. Duke is one of the best dentists here in Utah. He is very gentle yet thorough and does fantastic work. The staff at Focus are a great group of professionals who always have the patient's best interest at heart. I highly recommend this dental group.
I've been with these guys for a very long time. The staff is super nice and have even been able to squeeze me in at an earlier appointment when I had a dental emergency. I always leave their office with a smile on my face.
I've been going to Focus Dental for 7 years, and I will never go anywhere else. I went for my regular cleaning today. As usual they treated me like family. Everyone is super efficient and so friendly. I can't recommend them highly enough.
We love Dr Duke and his staff. They are all so friendly and nice. And, they give awesome dental care too!!!
Best dentist office EVER!!
I trust Focus Dental. They're straight forward about the cost. They do great work. I've never had a problem after leaving. They seem to genuinely care. Everybody has been very nice on each visit. Plus there's a BIG fish tank in the waiting room with both Nemo and Dory fishes in it. I highly recommend Focus Dental, you'll feel comfortable having them as your dentists.
Who would think that they would say that they love going to the Dentist office. I do with Focus Dental that definitely is the case. I appt the whole staff there! Thanks Dr Van Alfen and your friendly and attentive staff! See you in 6 months! JWA
I’ve been coming to this dental office for 28 years. Dr. Duke is always utilizing the latest technology and giving a painless dental experience
The staff at focus dental is amazing. They’re always so friendly and personable. Their office is always super clean. I highly recommend focus dental.
Great dentist and staff! Everyone is so friendly and takes great care of me.
Focus Dental is a wonderful company!! Their staff is very kind and caring. Dr. Duke has been my dentist for years. He is a great dentist!! But today I want to thank Dr. Shannon Young. I needed to have a tooth removed and the staff was able to work me in to her schedule. I had extra high anxiety about this procedure. Dr. Young took fabulous care of me. If I could, I would give her 10 stars on this procedure!!!
Every single person working today was kind, attentive, sensitive to the fact that I was very nervous about my visit. An unexpected and stressful event was made bearable by the excellent care. Thank you Dr. Duke and crew!
Dr. Duke was very understanding to my situation and squeezed me into his already packed schedule. i needed dental care ASAP and he was willing to see me (even a little past his normal hours). He was thorough, understanding and gentle. He explained the process and procedure and really took the time to give exceptional service and care. Brenda, his assist was also very compassionate and caring. Mahalo to Dr. Stoisch's office for the recommendation and Mahalo nui to Focus Dental Group for showing your aloha!!
This office is truly up to date with the latest technology and techniques.
As always the care and service at Focus Dental is wonderful! Very professional and thorough. I also had a Botox injection into my jaw to relieve TMJ pain. It worked really well! I appreciate Dr. Duke and the entire staff so much! Thank you!
Amazing group of people! So friendly every time. Also very effective at what they do and knowledge they bring.
Amazing dentist! I have full confidence in them and what they say!
Highly recommend
They are always so friendly and so patient. I get extreme anxiety going to the dentist and they always put me at ease!
Amazing! Great service and the staff is so knowledgeable and Dr.Young is so up to date on the latest technology & was able to elaborate on a tooth show I saw on Netflix which was amazing! Haha
I have been coming to Focus Dental since it opened. I’ve always had a superior experience. Excellent front office staff that is well organized and always helpful. Fantastic facility. Everyone on the clinical side is always professional and pleasant. I see Dr Van Alfen and greatly appreciate his skill and dedication as well as his good nature. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.If you want state of the art, high quality dental care from the nicest, most professional people around...look no further!
Dr Duke and his staff are top notch! Very professional and great people.
I love Focus Dental Group! I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my dental care. I appreciate what great care they provide for me and my family, as well as the good relationships they have formed with my children. Their kindness and patience has made going to the dentist a positive experience for my children. I highly recommend this dental group.
Best Dental Office around. Treated like family every time I go. Highly recommend making Focus Dental.
Dr Duke and his team are so professional and caring! They create a wonderful environment for the patient and do everything to keep you informed and comfortable! I can recommend Focus Dental without hesitation.
Amazing dentist office. Top of line equipment, state of the art procedures and amazing attention to detail. Their level of patient care is 2nd to none and the staff is the best in the business.
I love dr duke he is a true professional . And always taking care of my needs. Thank you!
I had a tooth break. I called and they got me an appointment in 3 hours and fixed my problem. They are always so accommodating.
Great staff and teams.
Super nice people, the root canal process went smoothly. The place looks so clean and welcoming!
I’ve been coming here to visit Dr. Duke and his staff since I was a child. They are always great and over the top with how friendly they are. I will continue coming here and will also bring my children!
Kind, friendly and welcoming. Assured my comfort. Offered several options for treatment, no pressure. I appreciate everyone on their staff.
My family and I have been seeing Dr. Duke for nearly twenty years!! Possible? Doesn't seem like it. Dr. Duke is the best Dentist I've ever seen, and I had a lot of dental work when I was younger. He is professional, highly skilled, friendly, and will go out of his way to make sure you're comfortable and that the staff is taking care of you.Megan, his Hygienist, is amazing too. She makes you feel right at home and makes every patient feel like a friend. She also does an amazing job. As long as their doors are open, I will never visit anyone else.Dr. Duke and staff thank you so much for all the years of service! You're absolutely the best.
Such a personal and positive experience with everyone I interacted with. Carey the hygienist was amazing and very thorough with my cleaning. Never once did I feel rushed or that she was needing to leave to get to another appointment. Dr. Alden was so friendly and immediately made me feel comfortable. Everything was explained to me very clearly and I understood what was needed and when I was scheduled to come back. Best experience you could ever have in a dental office.
Great people, great atmosphere and friendly. Been going there since I was a kid practically and now that I have a kid she will start going there. Would recommend if need of a dentist. The only thing is the drive to where I live but it's not too bad.
Dr Van Alfen and his staff were amazing. This was my first experience at a new office as I have been going to the same dentist since I was a kid. They were very thorough and caring not to mention sensitive to my financial situation.
Always a pleasant experience!
Focus dental always gets me in and out promptly and does a fantastic job! I would recommend them to all my friends and family. They are so friendly too😁
I feel old having been going to Dr. Duke for 25 years but my mouth and teeth feel young thanks to him, Megan, and the wonderful staff. I recommend everyone to go to Focus Dental Group!
I have been going to Focus Dental for a long time and they have always been great. I let things slide a bit about 7 years ago with my teeth and had to have some periodontal work done to correct it. I have to have my teeth cleaned 4 times a year instead of the normal 2 but Focus Dental always makes sure to keep me on track with my cleanings and we check all my bad spots each time to make sure they are getting better and not worse as well as watching for new ones. I appreciate the personal care and attention that I get and it makes me want to take better care of my teeth.
Such great staff! Had a filling and no pain!!
Always running on time and everyone treats you as a caring friend! I get excellent care at Focus Dental.
Everyone is kind, and helpful!
Very good experience. Thank you so much.
Dr. Duke, Megan and the rest of the staff are absolutely amazing. I’ve never had a bad experience with this office.
Dr Duke and his staff are amazing. They always take good care of me, very flexible and professional. They always work with me and try to help me achieve the best care. Nice and polite office staff. I'm very pleased with the quality of work they provide. Also they use innovative technology which really makes a big difference( 3D Model for crown making) . They also send you reminders (Text message) about your upcoming appointments, I personally think it's a very efficient tool. Dr Duke is very thorough, I also like Megan she has been my hygienist and does a thorough job as well. They work well with my insurance and I've always had a positive experience from the moment I walk into that office. Highly recommend. Quality dental work you count on. Thank you Focus dental for always taking good care of me.
As always, my appointment with Focus Dental today was a five-star experience.
Love the whole staff. They always do a great job.
I always like going to focus dental, everyone is so nice and happy to see me.
Dr Duke and his staff are very knowledgeable, competent, professional, caring and personable. They have my trust, respect and gratitude. They have taken good care of my family for many years.
I have a really hard time going to the dentist due to my hereditarily bad teeth and severe phobia but Dr. Craig Van Alfen made me feel so comfortable and safe! Very professional and kind!
I have been coming to Focus Dental for 10+ years and I won’t go anywhere else! The staff is amazing and willing to help you with anything! Very attentive and nurturing. If you’re looking for a new dentist...come here!!
Both I and my son had an excellent experience. Quick to get in, no hurried or rushed environment and no being left for 15 to 45 min unattended. The staff was professional, personable, and friendly. Dr. Craig Van Alfen introduced himself, we shook hands, and he assured me if I had any questions or needs they would take care of them. They use cutting edge services and procedures and Heather, Dr. Van Alfen’s dental hygienist, was thorough, professional, friendly and experienced. The chair massages gently w relaxing background music playing. It was by far the best dental exam and visit I’ve ever had. They treat you like you are important to them, and provide excellent services and care. I am so glad I changed to Focus Dental. I will refer people to them!
As usual it was a top star visit.
Love this dental practice. The staff is really talented, and the front end really knows their craft for correctly billing insurance companies and giving accurate quotes for procedures. When I go for my checkups, it feels like I am seeing good friends that I have missed for six months. I can't speak highly enough about the quality of service I receive at Focus Dental.
We love Dr. Duke at Focus Dental. Whether it is just for cleanings with Meghan or other work that Dr. Duke needs to do, we are always treated great and have a great experience. They are all great with our children as well. No fear of the dentist from our kids. Thanks Dr. Duke! You’re keeping our mouths healthy.
Dr. VanAlfen and his staff are the best!
I no longer live in Utah but I refuse to give up my dentist. I schedule my Utah visits around my dentist appointments. 😊 Dr. Duke and the staff are amazing!
It was my first visit with Focus dental today. Such a friendly staff and quick service! I really enjoyed my experience here and I look forward to making it my new home for any future dental needs!
So I've been a patient of Dr. Duke for a while now. My wife found Focus Dental I had a dentist at the time and was for the most part happy. I had a crown break off and my dentist said we should just pull the tooth out and wasn't willing to do much else. At my wife's prompting I gave Focus a chance and it was one of the best decisions I've made. Not only did Dr. Duke save the tooth, he ended up fixing a few of my other crowns that never felt right and a variety of other issues. The staff is wonderful all the way around, super clear and upfront about costs and options and empathetic towards their patients. I don't give 5 stars often but Focus deserves 6 stars in my opinion.
Dr. Duke is my favorite! I won’t go anywhere else. Even when I moved out of state, I still came back to see him. There’s no other dentist I trust more! And his staff is amazing! Always smiling and so nice.
I love Dr. Duke!! He makes sure things are done right and makes the dentist an enjoyable experience!! Go to him and you won’t regret it.
Amazing staff. They are always extremely friendly and welcoming. They genuinely care about their patients!
The very best staff anywhere! Very professional, very friendly and the very best dental team around!
Everyone here is so nice and helpful. There is almost never any wait and all services are well explained. I have gone to this group for years
Wonderful group of professional people!
Very professional..friendly..take good care of you
What an incredible dental office! I always love my visits here, Megan the hygienist is so personable and really keeps up with what's going on in my life, she is a wonderful hygienist! The assistants are so friendly and you can tell people enjoy working here by how they treat people. Dr Duke is my favorite dentist I've ever had and I always look forward to seeing him! He is not a regular dentist, he is so detail oriented and is actually concerned about my needs. Love this office!!
We have been Focus customers for nearly 15 years. Would never consider going elsewhere. Great location and facility. The best staff in Utah.
Dr. Van Alfen has been our family dentist for years. We trust him completely and he and his staff do excellent work.
Thanks for always taking such good care of me. Your the best.
Everyone is so friendly and they did a great job
This dental office is clean, the staff is friendly, and up-to-date on the latest technology for dental care.
Fabulous dentist! Fabulous staff! Kind, professional, caring, and knowledgeable! I'd give 6 stars if I could!
Very professional, friendly staff! They had everything from a massage chair while you're being worked on to nitrous, tv, and very attentive! I highly recommend this group! I know I'm coming back!
April at the front desk is so nice! The rest of the staff are amazing as well. Very nice, friendly, and accommodating. There's a huge fish tank with really cool fish for little ones. And the environment is really cozy. I love the work they do for me. I've Been with them for a year and a half and still going strong.
They are Always friendly and Craig is a stud!
I can't say enough positive things about the amazing Dr. Duke and his caring staff! From the moment you walk into their lovely office you are immediately greeted by the kindest, professional staff. April Stephanie, and Nalyn are the sweetest! The office is very clean, and comfortable with a fish tank that is so swanky it could have been featured on the show MTV Cribs! All of the dental assistants are incredibly gentle, thorough, and you can feel their genuine commitment to making sure you are comfortable from start to finish. This is HUGE for me and my family since we have a family member with Autism, and me who before would always get anxiety going to the dentist. Leisa is one of the assistants and always goes above and beyond-she rocks! The communication between all the assistants and Dr. Duke is seamless. Dr. Duke makes going to the dentist -dare I say it- pleasurable! He is committed to his patients feeling comfortable. He is also fabulous at communicating clearly each procedure. His office has all the latest technology which again increases the level of comfort. Dr. Duke really seems to love what he does, and loves helping his patients. I am so grateful to be able to gift my children with positive dental visits. And myself! Thank you Dr. Duke for your commitment to excellence.
10/10 experience. They always treat me like I’m family and I know I’m getting the best dental care in the valley.
Love this place! Me and my family will never go anywhere else.
Focus Dental Group is absolutely amazing! We went to them because of their great ratings and we are so glad we did. All the staff are so friendly and wonderful. They walk through everything with you so you never feel alone. - Something I love is that they text if there is an opening sooner than the one you scheduled. Dr. Duke is great! He makes sure to explain every situation and talks you through all treatment options. Overall, the atmosphere and people are wonderful and welcoming. You will not be disappointed!!
Second crown this year! The process is fast, and they needed to adjust the previous one for periodic sensitivity. Everything was fast, anesthesia was sufficient, and relatively comfortable process. Everyone is very pleasant! (And the adjustment to the first crown was effective -- I should not have waited!)
Excellent care; prompt, pleasant responses from all personnel; genuine concern for patient; attentiveness to future dental issues in proactive way.
I hadn’t been to the dentist in years. I decided on Dr. Duke because of the reviews I read. He was awesome. Renee was amazing. They made me feel very comfortable. I am returning to have some work done. I will definitely recommend them. So far, my experience has been great.
The best place ever would recommend to everyone
Very professional and friendly. My only complaint is that they dont do dogs' teeth because I would recommend anyone and their dog to them.
Great service best there is!
They do great work, but they charge for it. The bills are surprisingly large. Knowing that I return. The detailed service they provide is top notch. My teeth are always smooth and clean when I leave and Dr. Duke has does a thorough examination and review of the x-rays. You get what you pay for, and I am happy to pay it. Megan is my preferred hygienist and does an awesome job. Thanks all!
Dr. Duke is probably the best dentist I have ever had. I have been a patient for over 12 years. I ALWAYS have a good experience with the dental assistants and love his dental hygienist Megan. I think they are especially sensitive to my anxieties about going to the dentist and are gentle and take time to make sure I am comfortable. I feel like Dr. Duke has always been kind and respectful. The people who work with him seem to really enjoy working with him too. I would recommend and have recommended him to anyone and everyone looking for a great dentist.
Every member of their staff was very nice and helpful. I went in to fix a bad filling from a previous dentist and the visit was super fast and pain free.
Great people great service
Great experience- very welcoming team.
I love the staff at Focus Dental Group! They make me feel so comfortable and welcome. Dr Duke has been the only Dentist to actually take extra care to make sure my filling fit my bite perfectly and also pointed out a sharp tooth that kept biting into and breaking another filling and shaved it down. They do same day crowns and I was extremely impressed that they reviewed my insurance benefit and told me to wait to do any further dental work until my policy renewed! I can definitely trust that I am getting the best care and service.
Dr Van Alfen is amazing! I have been going to Focus Dental for over 30 years.
Excellent work each time I go and the staff is so kind!
My first visit to Focus Dental and it was GREAT! The staff is soo nice and really make an effort to get to know your name and face... you truly feel they not only care about the health of your teeth and overall care, but care for you as a patient! I will definitely be sticking to this dental office from now on!
I experienced some tooth pain right before a Christmas and they were able to get me in and quickly take care of the problem. Their staff is awesome and accommodating, and the dentists themselves are very skilled.
Dr. Young is amazing and so is Dr. Alfen. Over the years we've been going here as a family, every employee has been awesome. Whether it was one of the receptionists, Dental Assistants or Hygenists. As long as I live in Utah, I'll keep going back!
Doctor Van Alfen is the Best dentist I have seen. Doctor Val Alfen and his assistants always make sure that I am very comfortable since I am not a big fan of going to dentist. His office staff are very friendly and helpful. I am so glad my daughter recommended Focus Dental to me.
Best company, works with you and really does a great follow up job
Renae was the absolute best. From the moment she brought me back she made me feel like we were long time friends and made me feel very relaxed. Dr Duke was amazing as well!
I have been to the Focus Dental office many times and I have never had to wait, I don't know why they have all the great magazines when there is never time to look at them!
This dental group is the ... most caring dental group out there... they are a team of professional, kind, and sensitive people... who put their patients first. They use the most advanced equipment ...The atmosphere is soothing and so comfortable like a nice cozy home or spa. Every window has a spectacular view... the massage chair and tv on the ceiling are so nice! Dr Van Alfen and all the other staff ... thank you so much for helping me and my family have a healthy mouth and a great smile 😁
They are all so sweet and eager to help you with anything you need. Love going here!!
I love my dentist, the office, and the overall experience.
Best dentist and staff in the valley. My family has gone to Dr VanAlfen for years and I refer all my friends to him, too. Exceptional dental work and friendly staff. Can't be beat!
Dr. Duke always treats me very kindly and respectful. Our family has seen him for 20 years. He is amazing and has a wonderful staff.
I am sure I am one of Dr. Duke's more annoying patients as a total dental phobic, but let me say that I cannot recommend him highly enough! Not only is his work excellent, but the care and service I receive while there is unbelievable. The entire staff helps me feel totally comfortable, relaxed and taken care of. I had two major procedures today and both were completely pain free. Thanks Focus Dental
They take good care of you. Well, your teeth specifically - good team :)
They are fast and easy to work with
Seriously if you are afraid to go to the dentist - you need to try Dr Duke. He is the only dentist I have ever been to who can give a shot of novocaine and I don't feel it. I didn't even know that was possible. He has never hurt me. Try him once. You will never go to another dentist again.
Everyone is so nice and professional, I feel like my dental health is in capable, caring hands. Can’t say enough about them and highly recommend Dr Duke.
I’ve been going to see Dr. Duke since mid 1990’s for all my dental needs and I absolutely love not only the staff, but Dr. Duke is pretty amazing too. The office is so clean, bright and has a warm welcome feeling and the staff go out of their way to make you feel not only welcome, but comfortable. One of the many things I love the most about this place, is the fact there isn't a lot of staff turnover, which is rare. I don't mind going to the dentist and I'm grateful for having such a wonderful one. I would highly recommend the Focus Dental Group.
Dr. Van Alfen and his staff are such kind, caring people that each visit is always a pleasant experience!
Great experience, well as great as dentistry can be.
Everyone was great to help during my procedure and I am doing well. Thanks to all.
Dr. Duke in his staff have always been absolutely professional and provide care with the personal touch. Excellent work by excellent people, thank you!
Dr. Craig VanAlfen isthe best!! He has taken the time to explain options and discuss the best approach to make my daughters smile beautiful! We highly recommend him to anyone. The office staff are kind and knowledgeable. It’s been a great experience.
Dr. VanAlfen is great! I feel like he helps me make informed well-educated decisions about my teeth while not sounding like he’s trying to get me to pay for services I don’t need. (I’ve had a dentist like that years ago but stopped seeing him right away!) He is also very gentle. (It takes a lot to get me numb and he pays close attention to that.) He is AWESOME!The staff is friendly, professional and helpful. I’d highly recommend Focus Dental to anyone!
Very friendly and professional. Everyone took the time to answer any question I had. I would absolutely recommend Focus Dental,
I have been going to this dental office for years and love it. I have ran into issues with my insurance and they helped me sort things out. They are always so friendly and eager to help.
Best of care as always!!
I have been a patient with Dr. Duke for several years now. I am very satisfied with the quality of care and attention by Dr. Duke and his staff as their approach to dental care and appt setting far exceeds past experiences with other dentists and their staff. Seriously just this morning I was given an appt to fix a molar that broke yesterday and it feels sooooo much better! Thank you Dr.D thanks Leesa!
Dr. Young and her dental hygienist provided exceptional care in my half yearly cleaning and check up. Thank you for a painless visit with wonderful results!
They are so personal and really take the time to listen to everything your needing and want. Hands down best dental group of professionals I have found.
Dr Duke is professional and is knowledgeable and explains everything. The whole staff has been amazing
I've been going to Focus Dental Group for about 15 years and I don't plan to stop anytime soon, I love the staff and Dr. Duke! I originally went to Dr. Curtis and my whole family did as well. We were extremely comfortable with him, and very trusting. Once he retired Dr. Duke took over and it was as if Dr. Curtis never left.I always feel comfortable with the staff and Dr. Duke especially. I know I can trust what they are saying, and never have to worry that they are just taking my money. The hygienists are amazing, especially Megan, she is my favorite!! I feel like I'm hanging out with a friend whenever she is cleaning my teeth.My last visit was to get a cavity filled and I was in and out! I did not plan on it being such a quick trip but it was such a pleasant surprise. It was painless and they informed me on aftercare and the whole procedure. I often get compliments on my teeth and I owe so much of it to Focus Dental!
I actually look forward to going to the dentist. I absolutely love the entire staff at Focus Dental, friendly and very professional. Dr. Van Alfen is wonderful, plus he’s Dutch!
Massaging chairs, head phones and TV’s, state of the art technology and an amazing staff. Craig Van Alfen is very talented and sincerely cares. They exceed my expectations every time. I refer everyone and they all thank me. Mark
Always super friendly, genuinely concerned, state of the art rooms and equipment. My kids love to go to the dentist! The entire team is great. Highly recommended!
Such a friendly and helpful staff! The doctors are amazing too!! We love going to Focus Dental!
Friendly and helpful folks! Never a long wait and I always get my questions answered.
Always friendly, highly skilled, and they have awesome distractions to help me forget that I’m at the dentist in the first place. Since going here, I officially look forward to going to the dentist. Dr. VanAlfen and Babbette are who I usually see and they have made all the difference!
Been going here for over 15 years. Never once not 100 percent satisfied. Very well run with fantastic people.
Focus dental group is first class all the way from their professionalism to fair pricing for uninsured patients. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for dental services.
Today was my first time at Focus Dental and I am so pleased with my experience. I called in this morning because I was in a lot of pain and they didn't want me to have to wait until the next business day to be seen so they fit me in their schedule. The staff was so kind. I was seen quickly. I ended up needing a root canal. The staff and doctor were fast and professional. I absolutely recommend anyone who needs a dentist to go to Focus Dental.
The best, the staff are an amazing group. i moved out of state but i still come back to dr. dukes office
Dr. Duke is probably the best dentist I have ever had. I have been a patient for over 12 years. I ALWAYS have a good experience with the dental assistants and love his dental hygienist Megan. I think they are especially sensitive to my anxieties about going to the dentist and are gentle and take time to make sure I am comfortable. I feel like Dr. Duke has always been kind and respectful. The people who work with him seem to really enjoy working with him too. I would recommend and have recommended him to anyone and everyone looking for a great dentist.
Best group of dentists and staff I've ever encountered! I am so impressed by everyone in this office. I will definitely be back and will be referring all my friends and family!

Professional, friendly. Honestly, by not over charge or try to have work done that not needed. Great job. First try to get job done right.
I am particularly picky when it comes to the care of my teeth. I have been to many Practices before finally setting roots at focus dental.Dr. Duke and the whole staff are very friendly and professional. all their equipment is new, the building is clean, and they are very organized. I recommend this place for anyone who truly cares about their families health.
Facility is beautiful and the entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. I'm extremely happy with my decision to go here!
Experience is everything! I appreciate the knowledge and experience of the dentists and staff. Everything about this office is professional and top notch. The mountain views from the dental chairs is also a perk!
I think I have the best dentist I've ever had- thank you so much for easing my fears and making my experience great!
Love Duke Dental. Always greeted with a smile and professional care. Would recommend anyone who is looking for a positive experience. Absolutely no need to be afraid to go to the dentist if you go here.
I called and was able to get an appointment the same day. I was a patient of Apex dental but not anymore. Everyone there are so friendly and professional. Got the Lazer treatment same day.
Great Staff. I’ve seen Dr Duke for years. I don’t dread the dentist. Best ever!!
I love Focus Dental and Dr. Duke. The staff is always so pleasant and feel well taken care of.l when I'm in the office. I would recommend anyone selecting this office for great dental services!!
Love love love the staff. Aware of my needs and don't make me feel bad for using gas during a cleaning. I have had a very bad experience in the past and they have helped me move past it.
Dr Duke and his staff (hygienist, assistants, front office) are always knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. I feel like I receive top quality care.
Every member of that staff is genuinely friendly and takes time to get to know you. I couldn't imagine a better environment to feel comfortable in for a dentist appointment!
I was referred to Dr. Duke by a family member who highly recommended him. Dr. Duke and his staff didn't disappoint. I had a pleasant experience from my initial call to make an appointment, to my initial contact with front staff, the dental assistants, and Dr. Duke. Everyone was professional, friendly and made me feel at ease. Their office is very modern and the exam rooms high-tech. While they worked on my teeth, I sat comfortably on one of their dental chairs and watched TV on the ceiling. The dental assistants and Dr. Duke were very informative and forthcoming about my teeth and what needed to done. I have decided to continue seeing Dr. Duke and his staff based on my initial experience. I highly recommend the Focus Dental Group.
Always excellent
I rarely write a reviews but feel compelled to write this one. My wife and I were eating dinner last night when she stared at me with a bug eyed expression and said "my crown just popped off".**Back story is a different dentist put this on about 12 years ago but that dentist has since moved to another state. We have been coming to Focus dental now for several years**Last night was Friday, Dec 23rd 2016 and we called the dentist office about 7 pm and left a message not expecting someone to get back to us on Christmas Eve weekend. To our surprise Christmas Eve morning (Saturday) I got a text asking if we could come down to his office to have the tooth put on. Dr. Van Alton met us at noon and 45 minutes later we were on our way. BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! We will be patience for life here. Thank you!!!!
Very relaxing environment!!!!!nice staff!!!!
I've been going to Dr. Duke for many, many more years than either one of us would like to admit! I think that alone speaks of how highly I rate him and his staff.The staff (the people behind the front desk and the hygenists, etc.) is always friendly, courteous and professional. They answer all my questions, and always explain what they are about to do any why it needs to be done. If a procedure is "optional" and I choose not do undergo the procedure I am never pressured into doing something I don't want to do.I'd say that the average time I spend in the waiting room is about 4 or 5 minutes.Dr. Duke is very courteous, professional and explains everything clearly. He has a good "chairside" manner that puts me at ease. Just like his staff, he explains what he is about to do any why it needs to be done. He is always very good about giving me warnings like "this may sting a little" or "you may feel some discomfort." (But ironically he has such a good touch and keeps up on technology so that I can't really recall any visit to his office that caused any pain. I think my worst visit resulted in some minor discomfort!) And I never feel like Dr. Duke is just rushing through my procedure so he can pack in as many patients a day as possible.The office is convenient to get to since it is just off of I-215, and there is plenty of parking.I honestly wish that everyone else I deal with in any medical capacity had the qualities that Dr. Duke has; and I am not just saying that to be dramatic or to exaggerate any of my claims. P.S. I was referred to Dr. Duke by one of my co-workers many many years ago, and that co-worker is still seeing Dr. Duke to this day as well.
Everyone is so very friendly and thoughtful. And very skilled too.
Dr. Duke and his team are amazing! I'm a new patient and blown away. Everyone is super friendly in the office. They all remembered my name, asked how my family was doing. Just after being there once.. They all remembered me. That's so welcoming.Their technology/equipment is way advanced.I had to get a tooth extracted and start the process to get an implant. Before any of this process. The office manager sat down with me and explain insurance/cost. Dr. Duke explain the whole procedure. I felt so comfortable with everything.After the procedure, Dr. Duke called me and followed up. I have never had a dentist call me to see how I'm doing. Very impressed and recommend this dentist office and Dr. Duke to everyone!!
Outstanding... for the last 20 years 😉
I am a dentist and choose Steve Duke to do my own personal dentistry. I think that is about the best compliment I can give him. He uses the best of materials. He pays attention to the right details. He is technically excellent. He is great in his chair-side manner. He is always on the look out for that new or little-know technique or material that will make his patients' experience that much better. I would trust him with my family. Highly recommend.
Dr. Van Alfen is one of the nicest dentists you'll ever meet. Their office is very nice and my kids love the giant fish tank.
Dr. Van Alfen has been my dentist for years. Great guy with a great staff. He moved to this location and it is a wonderful facility. Plus it's even closer to my house!Not only does he treat my family, but my parents and in-laws also see him. Would recommend him to anyone!
Dr. Van Alfen is a wonderful dentist for the whole family. He is very thorough and professional. He explains everything completely and does not try to push unnecessary procedures on me. He is also very friendly and personable. He does a great job with kids, calming them and making them feel comfortable. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. I have a nice experience every time I go or take my kids.
I have been seeing Dr. Young since she starting practicing in the SLC area. There is no one who is more careful about keeping the working area sterile and clean. She is very professional, straightforward, and has a great sense of humor - you have to let her know that it's ok for her to relax with you to see it completely! I appreciate that she always tells me what to expect about every part of the procedure so I am never caught off guard. She seems very knowledgeable and I have always been happy with her work. There are a lot of other dentists who are closer to me but I drive across the valley because I don't want anyone else working on my teeth.
I was greeted with happy people that wanted to give me the best dental experience. Friendly, up to date, quality, personal. The greatest dental experience.
Focus Dental was extremely professional, enjoyable, and above all, delivered good results. The dentists and staff are great. They have a TV in the ceiling above each chair as well. Overall, excellent.
I had an amazing experience at Focus Dental and will be referring all my friends and family! I was greeted with a smile at the door and was taking back to the room almost immediately. The hygienist was so gentle and helped ease my anxiety....I'm a wuss when it comes to the dentist. When the doctor came in to check my teeth he was so personable and made me feel like more than "just another patient". They had some really cool technology that I'd never seen before like a camera that took picture of some old fillings I had that were starting to crack. They pulled the pictures up on their computer so I could see exactly what they were talking about! If you're looking for the greatest dental office in Utah, look no further!
Didn't have to very long for my appointment. I was usually waiting 30 minutes at my last dentist. Everything was new and clean.
What a great dental office. I've been coming to this practice for several years now; my husband and I plus our three kids. Everyone is always so kind. Because of our crazy schedules, I have had the opportunity to meet all three doctors. Each one is great and we feel comfortable seeing any of them. Also, the gal up front was very knowledgeable about our insurance. She was able to provide a good cost estimate for my kids (they had cavities of course!).
Focus Dental Group is amazing! They really care about you and treat you with the best care possible. Amazing care, great facility and great Drs and team members. I loved my experience.
Very friendly and professional staff and Doctors. Quick and painless procedures.
I have been to allot of dentists in my life time but when i found Dr. Duke my life forever changed. He's not only the very best dentist I've ever had but he is the most professional and most likeable person I've ever met in the profession. He is such a nice person. Always converted about the patient. His office people are the best, friendly, professional, and very likable. Thank you Dr. Duke for everything you do for me and putting up with my bad teeth. Love ya all!
This office is amazing!! Loved my experience.
Dr. Duke is beyond fantastic. They’ve made me feel taken care of here. Dr. Duke even talks with me directly for my after care and when I have questions, and the staff is great, so willing to be helpful. It’s been an amazing dental experience.
I've been going to this dentist for 20 years and never had a bad experience. Professional, friendly, and take great care of my teeth. Highly recommend.
The new hygienist and assistant were amazing!
Very professional. They explain things well. Great experience!
Dr. Duke. is a fantastic person and a wonderful dentist. A complete gentleman who obviously cares for his patience. Very personable. Meggin is fantastic as well. She has been there for years and treats every patient as though they are a friend. A very competent hygienist. My family has been going to focus dental for many years.
Dr Van Alfen is an excellent dentist. He is patient, his demeanor makes you feel comfortable and at ease and he is thorough and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him. The office staff are always helpful and happy to help too!
Dr. Duke and the Focus staff have always been great! This is, by far, the best experience I have ever had at a dentist's office. Highly Recommended!
I was very nervous coming in today for a tooth extraction and the staff was very nice and friendly and the doctor Van Alfen is amazing at what he does, I would definitely recommend focus dental!!!
Have been going there for years. They are always friendly and personable. The staff always takes time to get to know me and what is going on in my life. I would recommend them highly
Dr. Duke and Stephanie are so nice and such professionals !! They have made me feel comfortable with all of my dental needs. I highly recommend Focus Dental..
It's like cheers where everyone knows your name and cares. I have been going for 20 years and my whole family goes. Great caring team starting with Dr. Duke and shoutout to Megan.
Great place people are awesome!
It’s always nice to see everyone at Focus Dental Group and the hygienist named Megan is HOT!
They really helped me overcome my dental anxiety
Treatments and recommendations given were genuine and informative. Felt very comfortable and confident in the care I received from Dr. Duke and all the staff.
Always such a great experience when I go to Focus Dentsl. Very pleasant staff and very knowledgeable Dental staff. Love them.
They make me feel I am in good hands and comfortable at all times.
Dr. Van Alfen and his staff are always pleasant and so efficient. I appreciate that they are sensitive to my time but also take the time to thoroughly explore any concerns I have.
I don't love going to the dentist, but this was a painless and professional experience. I will be back.
Superb, professional and actually painless cleaning and check up. I wholeheartedly recommend Focus Dental to everybody I know!
I drive 45min to this office & see Dr VanAlfen. He’s AMAZING & his staff is outstanding! Honestly, you can’t go wrong with this team, which says a lot coming from me because I’m not a fan of the dentist! Shout out to Babs (my personal fave)!
Best dentists in the valley. Dr. Van Alfen is awesome. Nice, knowledgeable and so gentle if you have to get work done. Staff is great and they have new equipment. Switch to focus!
Want to thank all of you for your very professional help and care, you’ve restored my faith in customer service. Doctor Duke your staff are fabulous people. Thanks again see you soon.
My crown fell off and they were kind enough to fit me in quickly to have it Re-cemented. Thank you!
Best Staff friendly ..I been Dr Van Alfen for 10 years he is awesome the hygienist the assistant everybody is amazing plus the exceptional dental care highly recommend
Best dental place I’ve been to. Very friendly staff and have advanced technologies available
For being the dentist Focus Dental is always a pleasant visit. Great dentist and staff.
Dr. Duke and his staff are always very good to me. Client care is top notch and their work is of the highest quality.
These guys are amazing!
Very friendly. Very professional. Very caring. Very good.
Focus Dental is AWESOME. Thank you Dr Duke and team for getting me in so quickly to take care of my broken tooth.
After having a very stressful experience with my previous dentist, a friend referred me to Dr. Stephen Duke and I haven’t looked back since. That was over 9 years ago - I have had root canals, crowns, you name it, from this practice and have only had the best care. Dr. Duke is up-to-date on modern dental practices and is also incredibly kind and friendly. The receptionists are also great and they always get my family in quickly when we have dental emergencies. We have even had other dentists in the practice step in to help when we needed it. I went through hell and back with my last dentist and I’m so much happier now that I have someone I can trust. I highly recommend Focus Dental!
I love the staff and Dr. Van Alfen! I am always treated as a friend more than a number. I really appreciate the time they take to know me personally and find out how I'm doing. The team is very personable! One of the main reasons I keep going here is the way my children were treated when they were younger. Dr Van Alfen listened well to them and was just really good with them, which was great for me as a parent, seeing how much he respected and listened to them.Today I thought for sure I needed a root canal. After a great visit, I was told there didn't appear to be any infection and we agreed to give it some time to see if the pain I have been feeling is due to other issues. I appreciate knowing work will not be done that does not need to be done, and I won't be charged for things I really don't need.Thanks Dr. Van Alfen! Keep up the great work!
Great Dentist and hygenist. This office is very professional and they provide wonderful service. Highly recommend.
Megan is the best hygienist, thorough, and always goes the extra mile, doing the most she can do and not the least like some dentist offices. and her assistant Kaiden is awesome too! I always feel well taken care of when I’m here, and Dr Duke always has something cutting edge to improve my experience. my favorite things so far was a numbing reversal shot he gave me so I didn’t have to walk around with a numb face for several hours! maybe a small thing, but it’s the little things that can make the most difference.I highly recommend focus dental group!
Fabulous. Every. Single. Time.I’m an anxious patient, but Dr Duke and his staff put me right at ease. The work I have had done is high quality, and at a great price. Looking for a dentist? Do yourself a favor and call Focus!
This is a great dentist office
Always friendly and amazing! I’ve been going here since I was like 3 or 4 and the staff is amazing!
They're
All iI can say is Heather is amazing and easy on the eyes
Dr. Duke and his staff are one of the most professional groups I have ever experienced. The facility is up to date with the most modern equipment and techniques. When I lay down in the chair I am completely confident in Dr. Duke and his people. I can recommend this organization without reservation!
I've been going here for just about 7 years now. Dr. VanAlfen is the best dentist I've seen hands down. Their staff is great as well, I've always felt welcome and never felt like just another face. There is never any pressure here and I feel like they always take great care of my mouth!!I also just did my consult for Invisalign today with them and it was amazing. Very thorough and informative. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
I'm opting for a 6 star rating. I've always been nervous about ever going to the dentist. Not at focus dental. They are the best! Kind and caring professionals who take the time to be gentle and informative. I'm 38 years old and have seen many different dental offices. This dental group is hands down THE BEST! I am looking forward to improving my dental health with the help of the great people at focus dental.
Dr. Duke is the most caring dentist I have had...there have been many. He always takes an interest in our lives. My children have fond memories about going to the dentist because Dr. Duke and his staff are incredible! They are always friendly and kind!
Focus dental is awesome - they always get me in and out in a timely manner, every staff member and hygienist is professional and good at what they are doing (gentle if you need it!) and they have TVs on the ceiling, blankets if you are cold, and massage dental chairs. What more could you want?!
Is it weird that we love going to see Dr.Duke and his amazing staff? We actually like going to the dentist! Dr. Duke did some beautiful bonding on my teenage daughters front teeth. He is such a perfectionist and has an eye for what looks the most natural. She loved the way it turned out and I’m sure it will build her confidence every time she smiles! We Love Focus Dental!
I love these guys! They are fast, professional, and friendly! I recommend them whole heatredly!
Everyone at Dr. Duke's office is so kind, professional, & fun! They always make shie things go smoothly, & even get me laughing. Dr. Duke is great!
My check up with focus dental was excellent, as always. The staff is very accommodating, friendly and through. The checkup was conducted efficiently and all my concerns were addressed. I have been going to Focus dental since they started and have always been very pleased with the care they provided.I wouldn't consider going to a different dentist.
Dr. Van Alfen and his staff are always positive, happy, and professional. Excellent office!
Amazing service and one of the most professionaly run businesses ive ever been to. Dr. Duke is a rock star and staff is beyond on top of it. I broke a tooth while in Europe and they had me in the day I landed at 10AM.
Last year I had an exceptionally awful experience at another dentist. I already dread going to the dentist as it is, but of course following that I really put it off. Finally, though, with the end of the year approaching, and the possibility of losing my FSA funds looming, I sucked it up and started to research other options. Matching up (hopefully) decent dentists with those who accept your insurance is such a fun way to spend an afternoon...Ha! Focus was my first choice, they were accepting new patients, and while the wait was about a month out, they offered to put me on their cancellation list, and I ended up getting in within less than a week!They are located in a large brick office building off 7th East. The whole back is parking, and customer access is through the doors on the east or west sides of the building (the others are employee only). The interior is nicely decorated, reminding me a bit of the medical offices I patronized out East (side note, when I got my wisdom teeth out, I woke up in a library. A LIBRARY!).Focus is upstairs on the right, and their office space is lovely: All warm colors and welcoming. There are big 'ol cushy couches in the waiting room, plus a saltwater aquarium with two way viewing à la Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet. Every employee is so sweet and charming, and not in a fake way. They genuinely seem to enjoy working here and helping patients.Focus has a lot of small touches that I really appreciate: as soon as I sat down for my cleaning I was offered (quality, all natural) lip balm, the view from some of the rooms looks straight across the city to the mountains, TVs are placed 'just so' in the ceiling for easy, comfortable viewing. They even offer cosmetic services for wrinkles and aging!I saw Dr. Van Alfen, and he was so quick and as painless as is possible with my filling. He is pleasant and kind, and though I still don't look forward to dentist visits, I certainly don't dread them as formerly.
The dentists are kind, gentle, and effective. And we love all their personable hygenists and staff.
Focus Dental really is a 5 Star office. The doctors and staff always make me feel comfortable and special. The work they do is impeccable! Highly Recommend!
Dr. Duke is one of the best dentists here in Utah. He is very gentle yet thorough and does fantastic work. The staff at Focus are a great group of professionals who always have the patient's best interest at heart. I highly recommend this dental group.
I've been with these guys for a very long time. The staff is super nice and have even been able to squeeze me in at an earlier appointment when I had a dental emergency. I always leave their office with a smile on my face.
I've been going to Focus Dental for 7 years, and I will never go anywhere else. I went for my regular cleaning today. As usual they treated me like family. Everyone is super efficient and so friendly. I can't recommend them highly enough.
We love Dr Duke and his staff. They are all so friendly and nice. And, they give awesome dental care too!!!
Best dentist office EVER!!
I trust Focus Dental. They're straight forward about the cost. They do great work. I've never had a problem after leaving. They seem to genuinely care. Everybody has been very nice on each visit. Plus there's a BIG fish tank in the waiting room with both Nemo and Dory fishes in it. I highly recommend Focus Dental, you'll feel comfortable having them as your dentists.
Who would think that they would say that they love going to the Dentist office. I do with Focus Dental that definitely is the case. I appt the whole staff there! Thanks Dr Van Alfen and your friendly and attentive staff! See you in 6 months! JWA
I’ve been coming to this dental office for 28 years. Dr. Duke is always utilizing the latest technology and giving a painless dental experience
The staff at focus dental is amazing. They’re always so friendly and personable. Their office is always super clean. I highly recommend focus dental.
Great dentist and staff! Everyone is so friendly and takes great care of me.
Focus Dental is a wonderful company!! Their staff is very kind and caring. Dr. Duke has been my dentist for years. He is a great dentist!! But today I want to thank Dr. Shannon Young. I needed to have a tooth removed and the staff was able to work me in to her schedule. I had extra high anxiety about this procedure. Dr. Young took fabulous care of me. If I could, I would give her 10 stars on this procedure!!!
Every single person working today was kind, attentive, sensitive to the fact that I was very nervous about my visit. An unexpected and stressful event was made bearable by the excellent care. Thank you Dr. Duke and crew!
Dr. Duke was very understanding to my situation and squeezed me into his already packed schedule. i needed dental care ASAP and he was willing to see me (even a little past his normal hours). He was thorough, understanding and gentle. He explained the process and procedure and really took the time to give exceptional service and care. Brenda, his assist was also very compassionate and caring. Mahalo to Dr. Stoisch's office for the recommendation and Mahalo nui to Focus Dental Group for showing your aloha!!
This office is truly up to date with the latest technology and techniques.
As always the care and service at Focus Dental is wonderful! Very professional and thorough. I also had a Botox injection into my jaw to relieve TMJ pain. It worked really well! I appreciate Dr. Duke and the entire staff so much! Thank you!
Amazing group of people! So friendly every time. Also very effective at what they do and knowledge they bring.
Amazing dentist! I have full confidence in them and what they say!
Highly recommend
They are always so friendly and so patient. I get extreme anxiety going to the dentist and they always put me at ease!
Amazing! Great service and the staff is so knowledgeable and Dr.Young is so up to date on the latest technology & was able to elaborate on a tooth show I saw on Netflix which was amazing! Haha
I have been coming to Focus Dental since it opened. I’ve always had a superior experience. Excellent front office staff that is well organized and always helpful. Fantastic facility. Everyone on the clinical side is always professional and pleasant. I see Dr Van Alfen and greatly appreciate his skill and dedication as well as his good nature. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.If you want state of the art, high quality dental care from the nicest, most professional people around...look no further!
Dr Duke and his staff are top notch! Very professional and great people.
I love Focus Dental Group! I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my dental care. I appreciate what great care they provide for me and my family, as well as the good relationships they have formed with my children. Their kindness and patience has made going to the dentist a positive experience for my children. I highly recommend this dental group.
Best Dental Office around. Treated like family every time I go. Highly recommend making Focus Dental.
Dr Duke and his team are so professional and caring! They create a wonderful environment for the patient and do everything to keep you informed and comfortable! I can recommend Focus Dental without hesitation.
Amazing dentist office. Top of line equipment, state of the art procedures and amazing attention to detail. Their level of patient care is 2nd to none and the staff is the best in the business.
I love dr duke he is a true professional . And always taking care of my needs. Thank you!
I had a tooth break. I called and they got me an appointment in 3 hours and fixed my problem. They are always so accommodating.
Great staff and teams.
Super nice people, the root canal process went smoothly. The place looks so clean and welcoming!
I’ve been coming here to visit Dr. Duke and his staff since I was a child. They are always great and over the top with how friendly they are. I will continue coming here and will also bring my children!
Kind, friendly and welcoming. Assured my comfort. Offered several options for treatment, no pressure. I appreciate everyone on their staff.
My family and I have been seeing Dr. Duke for nearly twenty years!! Possible? Doesn't seem like it. Dr. Duke is the best Dentist I've ever seen, and I had a lot of dental work when I was younger. He is professional, highly skilled, friendly, and will go out of his way to make sure you're comfortable and that the staff is taking care of you.Megan, his Hygienist, is amazing too. She makes you feel right at home and makes every patient feel like a friend. She also does an amazing job. As long as their doors are open, I will never visit anyone else.Dr. Duke and staff thank you so much for all the years of service! You're absolutely the best.
Such a personal and positive experience with everyone I interacted with. Carey the hygienist was amazing and very thorough with my cleaning. Never once did I feel rushed or that she was needing to leave to get to another appointment. Dr. Alden was so friendly and immediately made me feel comfortable. Everything was explained to me very clearly and I understood what was needed and when I was scheduled to come back. Best experience you could ever have in a dental office.
Great people, great atmosphere and friendly. Been going there since I was a kid practically and now that I have a kid she will start going there. Would recommend if need of a dentist. The only thing is the drive to where I live but it's not too bad.
Dr Van Alfen and his staff were amazing. This was my first experience at a new office as I have been going to the same dentist since I was a kid. They were very thorough and caring not to mention sensitive to my financial situation.
Always a pleasant experience!
Focus dental always gets me in and out promptly and does a fantastic job! I would recommend them to all my friends and family. They are so friendly too😁
I feel old having been going to Dr. Duke for 25 years but my mouth and teeth feel young thanks to him, Megan, and the wonderful staff. I recommend everyone to go to Focus Dental Group!
I have been going to Focus Dental for a long time and they have always been great. I let things slide a bit about 7 years ago with my teeth and had to have some periodontal work done to correct it. I have to have my teeth cleaned 4 times a year instead of the normal 2 but Focus Dental always makes sure to keep me on track with my cleanings and we check all my bad spots each time to make sure they are getting better and not worse as well as watching for new ones. I appreciate the personal care and attention that I get and it makes me want to take better care of my teeth.
Such great staff! Had a filling and no pain!!
Always running on time and everyone treats you as a caring friend! I get excellent care at Focus Dental.
Everyone is kind, and helpful!
Very good experience. Thank you so much.
Dr. Duke, Megan and the rest of the staff are absolutely amazing. I’ve never had a bad experience with this office.
Dr Duke and his staff are amazing. They always take good care of me, very flexible and professional. They always work with me and try to help me achieve the best care. Nice and polite office staff. I'm very pleased with the quality of work they provide. Also they use innovative technology which really makes a big difference( 3D Model for crown making) . They also send you reminders (Text message) about your upcoming appointments, I personally think it's a very efficient tool. Dr Duke is very thorough, I also like Megan she has been my hygienist and does a thorough job as well. They work well with my insurance and I've always had a positive experience from the moment I walk into that office. Highly recommend. Quality dental work you count on. Thank you Focus dental for always taking good care of me.
As always, my appointment with Focus Dental today was a five-star experience.
Love the whole staff. They always do a great job.
I always like going to focus dental, everyone is so nice and happy to see me.
Dr Duke and his staff are very knowledgeable, competent, professional, caring and personable. They have my trust, respect and gratitude. They have taken good care of my family for many years.
I have a really hard time going to the dentist due to my hereditarily bad teeth and severe phobia but Dr. Craig Van Alfen made me feel so comfortable and safe! Very professional and kind!
I have been coming to Focus Dental for 10+ years and I won’t go anywhere else! The staff is amazing and willing to help you with anything! Very attentive and nurturing. If you’re looking for a new dentist...come here!!
Both I and my son had an excellent experience. Quick to get in, no hurried or rushed environment and no being left for 15 to 45 min unattended. The staff was professional, personable, and friendly. Dr. Craig Van Alfen introduced himself, we shook hands, and he assured me if I had any questions or needs they would take care of them. They use cutting edge services and procedures and Heather, Dr. Van Alfen’s dental hygienist, was thorough, professional, friendly and experienced. The chair massages gently w relaxing background music playing. It was by far the best dental exam and visit I’ve ever had. They treat you like you are important to them, and provide excellent services and care. I am so glad I changed to Focus Dental. I will refer people to them!
As usual it was a top star visit.
Love this dental practice. The staff is really talented, and the front end really knows their craft for correctly billing insurance companies and giving accurate quotes for procedures. When I go for my checkups, it feels like I am seeing good friends that I have missed for six months. I can't speak highly enough about the quality of service I receive at Focus Dental.
We love Dr. Duke at Focus Dental. Whether it is just for cleanings with Meghan or other work that Dr. Duke needs to do, we are always treated great and have a great experience. They are all great with our children as well. No fear of the dentist from our kids. Thanks Dr. Duke! You’re keeping our mouths healthy.
Dr. VanAlfen and his staff are the best!
I no longer live in Utah but I refuse to give up my dentist. I schedule my Utah visits around my dentist appointments. 😊 Dr. Duke and the staff are amazing!
It was my first visit with Focus dental today. Such a friendly staff and quick service! I really enjoyed my experience here and I look forward to making it my new home for any future dental needs!
So I've been a patient of Dr. Duke for a while now. My wife found Focus Dental I had a dentist at the time and was for the most part happy. I had a crown break off and my dentist said we should just pull the tooth out and wasn't willing to do much else. At my wife's prompting I gave Focus a chance and it was one of the best decisions I've made. Not only did Dr. Duke save the tooth, he ended up fixing a few of my other crowns that never felt right and a variety of other issues. The staff is wonderful all the way around, super clear and upfront about costs and options and empathetic towards their patients. I don't give 5 stars often but Focus deserves 6 stars in my opinion.
Dr. Duke is my favorite! I won’t go anywhere else. Even when I moved out of state, I still came back to see him. There’s no other dentist I trust more! And his staff is amazing! Always smiling and so nice.
I love Dr. Duke!! He makes sure things are done right and makes the dentist an enjoyable experience!! Go to him and you won’t regret it.
Amazing staff. They are always extremely friendly and welcoming. They genuinely care about their patients!
The very best staff anywhere! Very professional, very friendly and the very best dental team around!
Everyone here is so nice and helpful. There is almost never any wait and all services are well explained. I have gone to this group for years
Wonderful group of professional people!
Very professional..friendly..take good care of you
What an incredible dental office! I always love my visits here, Megan the hygienist is so personable and really keeps up with what's going on in my life, she is a wonderful hygienist! The assistants are so friendly and you can tell people enjoy working here by how they treat people. Dr Duke is my favorite dentist I've ever had and I always look forward to seeing him! He is not a regular dentist, he is so detail oriented and is actually concerned about my needs. Love this office!!
We have been Focus customers for nearly 15 years. Would never consider going elsewhere. Great location and facility. The best staff in Utah.
Dr. Van Alfen has been our family dentist for years. We trust him completely and he and his staff do excellent work.
Thanks for always taking such good care of me. Your the best.
Everyone is so friendly and they did a great job
This dental office is clean, the staff is friendly, and up-to-date on the latest technology for dental care.
Fabulous dentist! Fabulous staff! Kind, professional, caring, and knowledgeable! I'd give 6 stars if I could!
Very professional, friendly staff! They had everything from a massage chair while you're being worked on to nitrous, tv, and very attentive! I highly recommend this group! I know I'm coming back!
April at the front desk is so nice! The rest of the staff are amazing as well. Very nice, friendly, and accommodating. There's a huge fish tank with really cool fish for little ones. And the environment is really cozy. I love the work they do for me. I've Been with them for a year and a half and still going strong.
They are Always friendly and Craig is a stud!
I can't say enough positive things about the amazing Dr. Duke and his caring staff! From the moment you walk into their lovely office you are immediately greeted by the kindest, professional staff. April Stephanie, and Nalyn are the sweetest! The office is very clean, and comfortable with a fish tank that is so swanky it could have been featured on the show MTV Cribs! All of the dental assistants are incredibly gentle, thorough, and you can feel their genuine commitment to making sure you are comfortable from start to finish. This is HUGE for me and my family since we have a family member with Autism, and me who before would always get anxiety going to the dentist. Leisa is one of the assistants and always goes above and beyond-she rocks! The communication between all the assistants and Dr. Duke is seamless. Dr. Duke makes going to the dentist -dare I say it- pleasurable! He is committed to his patients feeling comfortable. He is also fabulous at communicating clearly each procedure. His office has all the latest technology which again increases the level of comfort. Dr. Duke really seems to love what he does, and loves helping his patients. I am so grateful to be able to gift my children with positive dental visits. And myself! Thank you Dr. Duke for your commitment to excellence.
10/10 experience. They always treat me like I’m family and I know I’m getting the best dental care in the valley.
Love this place! Me and my family will never go anywhere else.
Focus Dental Group is absolutely amazing! We went to them because of their great ratings and we are so glad we did. All the staff are so friendly and wonderful. They walk through everything with you so you never feel alone. - Something I love is that they text if there is an opening sooner than the one you scheduled. Dr. Duke is great! He makes sure to explain every situation and talks you through all treatment options. Overall, the atmosphere and people are wonderful and welcoming. You will not be disappointed!!
Second crown this year! The process is fast, and they needed to adjust the previous one for periodic sensitivity. Everything was fast, anesthesia was sufficient, and relatively comfortable process. Everyone is very pleasant! (And the adjustment to the first crown was effective -- I should not have waited!)
Excellent care; prompt, pleasant responses from all personnel; genuine concern for patient; attentiveness to future dental issues in proactive way.
I hadn’t been to the dentist in years. I decided on Dr. Duke because of the reviews I read. He was awesome. Renee was amazing. They made me feel very comfortable. I am returning to have some work done. I will definitely recommend them. So far, my experience has been great.
The best place ever would recommend to everyone
Very professional and friendly. My only complaint is that they dont do dogs' teeth because I would recommend anyone and their dog to them.
Great service best there is!
They do great work, but they charge for it. The bills are surprisingly large. Knowing that I return. The detailed service they provide is top notch. My teeth are always smooth and clean when I leave and Dr. Duke has does a thorough examination and review of the x-rays. You get what you pay for, and I am happy to pay it. Megan is my preferred hygienist and does an awesome job. Thanks all!
Dr. Duke is probably the best dentist I have ever had. I have been a patient for over 12 years. I ALWAYS have a good experience with the dental assistants and love his dental hygienist Megan. I think they are especially sensitive to my anxieties about going to the dentist and are gentle and take time to make sure I am comfortable. I feel like Dr. Duke has always been kind and respectful. The people who work with him seem to really enjoy working with him too. I would recommend and have recommended him to anyone and everyone looking for a great dentist.
Every member of their staff was very nice and helpful. I went in to fix a bad filling from a previous dentist and the visit was super fast and pain free.
Great people great service
Great experience- very welcoming team.
I love the staff at Focus Dental Group! They make me feel so comfortable and welcome. Dr Duke has been the only Dentist to actually take extra care to make sure my filling fit my bite perfectly and also pointed out a sharp tooth that kept biting into and breaking another filling and shaved it down. They do same day crowns and I was extremely impressed that they reviewed my insurance benefit and told me to wait to do any further dental work until my policy renewed! I can definitely trust that I am getting the best care and service.
Dr Van Alfen is amazing! I have been going to Focus Dental for over 30 years.
Excellent work each time I go and the staff is so kind!
My first visit to Focus Dental and it was GREAT! The staff is soo nice and really make an effort to get to know your name and face... you truly feel they not only care about the health of your teeth and overall care, but care for you as a patient! I will definitely be sticking to this dental office from now on!
I experienced some tooth pain right before a Christmas and they were able to get me in and quickly take care of the problem. Their staff is awesome and accommodating, and the dentists themselves are very skilled.
Dr. Young is amazing and so is Dr. Alfen. Over the years we've been going here as a family, every employee has been awesome. Whether it was one of the receptionists, Dental Assistants or Hygenists. As long as I live in Utah, I'll keep going back!
Doctor Van Alfen is the Best dentist I have seen. Doctor Val Alfen and his assistants always make sure that I am very comfortable since I am not a big fan of going to dentist. His office staff are very friendly and helpful. I am so glad my daughter recommended Focus Dental to me.
Best company, works with you and really does a great follow up job
Renae was the absolute best. From the moment she brought me back she made me feel like we were long time friends and made me feel very relaxed. Dr Duke was amazing as well!
I have been to the Focus Dental office many times and I have never had to wait, I don't know why they have all the great magazines when there is never time to look at them!
This dental group is the ... most caring dental group out there... they are a team of professional, kind, and sensitive people... who put their patients first. They use the most advanced equipment ...The atmosphere is soothing and so comfortable like a nice cozy home or spa. Every window has a spectacular view... the massage chair and tv on the ceiling are so nice! Dr Van Alfen and all the other staff ... thank you so much for helping me and my family have a healthy mouth and a great smile 😁
They are all so sweet and eager to help you with anything you need. Love going here!!
I love my dentist, the office, and the overall experience.
Best dentist and staff in the valley. My family has gone to Dr VanAlfen for years and I refer all my friends to him, too. Exceptional dental work and friendly staff. Can't be beat!
Dr. Duke always treats me very kindly and respectful. Our family has seen him for 20 years. He is amazing and has a wonderful staff.
I am sure I am one of Dr. Duke's more annoying patients as a total dental phobic, but let me say that I cannot recommend him highly enough! Not only is his work excellent, but the care and service I receive while there is unbelievable. The entire staff helps me feel totally comfortable, relaxed and taken care of. I had two major procedures today and both were completely pain free. Thanks Focus Dental
They take good care of you. Well, your teeth specifically - good team :)
They are fast and easy to work with
Seriously if you are afraid to go to the dentist - you need to try Dr Duke. He is the only dentist I have ever been to who can give a shot of novocaine and I don't feel it. I didn't even know that was possible. He has never hurt me. Try him once. You will never go to another dentist again.
Everyone is so nice and professional, I feel like my dental health is in capable, caring hands. Can’t say enough about them and highly recommend Dr Duke.
I’ve been going to see Dr. Duke since mid 1990’s for all my dental needs and I absolutely love not only the staff, but Dr. Duke is pretty amazing too. The office is so clean, bright and has a warm welcome feeling and the staff go out of their way to make you feel not only welcome, but comfortable. One of the many things I love the most about this place, is the fact there isn't a lot of staff turnover, which is rare. I don't mind going to the dentist and I'm grateful for having such a wonderful one. I would highly recommend the Focus Dental Group.
Dr. Van Alfen and his staff are such kind, caring people that each visit is always a pleasant experience!
Great experience, well as great as dentistry can be.
Everyone was great to help during my procedure and I am doing well. Thanks to all.
Dr. Duke in his staff have always been absolutely professional and provide care with the personal touch. Excellent work by excellent people, thank you!
Dr. Craig VanAlfen isthe best!! He has taken the time to explain options and discuss the best approach to make my daughters smile beautiful! We highly recommend him to anyone. The office staff are kind and knowledgeable. It’s been a great experience.
Dr. VanAlfen is great! I feel like he helps me make informed well-educated decisions about my teeth while not sounding like he’s trying to get me to pay for services I don’t need. (I’ve had a dentist like that years ago but stopped seeing him right away!) He is also very gentle. (It takes a lot to get me numb and he pays close attention to that.) He is AWESOME!The staff is friendly, professional and helpful. I’d highly recommend Focus Dental to anyone!
Very friendly and professional. Everyone took the time to answer any question I had. I would absolutely recommend Focus Dental,
I have been going to this dental office for years and love it. I have ran into issues with my insurance and they helped me sort things out. They are always so friendly and eager to help.
Best of care as always!!
I have been a patient with Dr. Duke for several years now. I am very satisfied with the quality of care and attention by Dr. Duke and his staff as their approach to dental care and appt setting far exceeds past experiences with other dentists and their staff. Seriously just this morning I was given an appt to fix a molar that broke yesterday and it feels sooooo much better! Thank you Dr.D thanks Leesa!
Dr. Young and her dental hygienist provided exceptional care in my half yearly cleaning and check up. Thank you for a painless visit with wonderful results!
They are so personal and really take the time to listen to everything your needing and want. Hands down best dental group of professionals I have found.
Dr Duke is professional and is knowledgeable and explains everything. The whole staff has been amazing
I've been going to Focus Dental Group for about 15 years and I don't plan to stop anytime soon, I love the staff and Dr. Duke! I originally went to Dr. Curtis and my whole family did as well. We were extremely comfortable with him, and very trusting. Once he retired Dr. Duke took over and it was as if Dr. Curtis never left.I always feel comfortable with the staff and Dr. Duke especially. I know I can trust what they are saying, and never have to worry that they are just taking my money. The hygienists are amazing, especially Megan, she is my favorite!! I feel like I'm hanging out with a friend whenever she is cleaning my teeth.My last visit was to get a cavity filled and I was in and out! I did not plan on it being such a quick trip but it was such a pleasant surprise. It was painless and they informed me on aftercare and the whole procedure. I often get compliments on my teeth and I owe so much of it to Focus Dental!
I actually look forward to going to the dentist. I absolutely love the entire staff at Focus Dental, friendly and very professional. Dr. Van Alfen is wonderful, plus he’s Dutch!
Massaging chairs, head phones and TV’s, state of the art technology and an amazing staff. Craig Van Alfen is very talented and sincerely cares. They exceed my expectations every time. I refer everyone and they all thank me. Mark
Always super friendly, genuinely concerned, state of the art rooms and equipment. My kids love to go to the dentist! The entire team is great. Highly recommended!
Such a friendly and helpful staff! The doctors are amazing too!! We love going to Focus Dental!
Friendly and helpful folks! Never a long wait and I always get my questions answered.
Always friendly, highly skilled, and they have awesome distractions to help me forget that I’m at the dentist in the first place. Since going here, I officially look forward to going to the dentist. Dr. VanAlfen and Babbette are who I usually see and they have made all the difference!
Been going here for over 15 years. Never once not 100 percent satisfied. Very well run with fantastic people.
Focus dental group is first class all the way from their professionalism to fair pricing for uninsured patients. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for dental services.
Today was my first time at Focus Dental and I am so pleased with my experience. I called in this morning because I was in a lot of pain and they didn't want me to have to wait until the next business day to be seen so they fit me in their schedule. The staff was so kind. I was seen quickly. I ended up needing a root canal. The staff and doctor were fast and professional. I absolutely recommend anyone who needs a dentist to go to Focus Dental.
The best, the staff are an amazing group. i moved out of state but i still come back to dr. dukes office
