Dr. Bates developed a keen interest in the dental field after his childhood dentist helped him deal with dental trauma after an accident in high school. Today, he continues to pay forward the care and compassion shown to him at that time by providing exceptional dentistry to patients of all ages.
We look forward to welcoming your family to Serene Dentistry of North Salt Lake. Until then, please take a moment to learn more about us.
Dr. Will Bates
“My interest in dentistry started when I was in high school. I was involved in a serious car accident that resulted in me fracturing multiple front teeth. I was also in a lot of pain and embarrassed about my smile. I was very blessed to find a dentist who was willing to come in extra early and do all he could to get me out of pain and fix my smile. This experience influenced me to pursue a career in dentistry where I could help someone else in the same way that my dentist helped me.”
Dr. Will Bates is a native of Hooper, UT and attended Weber State University, where he received his Bachelor’s of Science in Microbiology with a minor in chemistry. Following his passion for helping others, he went on to receive his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from Marquette University School of Dentistry.
After graduating from dental school, Dr. Bates was accepted to attend further training with the U.S. Navy in an Advanced Education Program in Norfolk, Virginia. This year-long program allowed him to experience expert clinical training in all specialties of dentistry. Dr. Bates’s career has also included working as a department head over a dental clinic in the Navy and a director of dental services for a clinic in Washington state.
Dr. Bates continues to receive education and instruction on the latest techniques and materials by qualified professors in the fields they specialize in. It is important to him to ensure that his patients receive the very best procedures and materials available in dentistry today.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Bates enjoys spending time with his wife and four daughters, golfing, watching and playing sports, and serving the community.
