What about Dr. Eagar, the owner?

Dr. Eagar grew up in West Valley, Utah. He has lived in Utah, Nevada, Maryland, Minnesota, and New Mexico and is glad to be in St. George for the past 10 years. Dr. Eagar did his undergrad at CSN and UNLV in Las Vegas and attended dental school in Minneapolis at the University of Minnesota. He started his Military career in dental school by joining the Minnesota National Guard and later transferred to the New Mexico National Guard. Dr. Eagar finished his Army career in the Army Reserves after serving 13.5 years.

Dr. Eagar’s journey to become a Biological Dentist started with his and his family’s health. His curious mind keeps him reading, attending dental & health conferences, and searching for solutions for his patients. When he is not thinking of teeth, researching dental airways, and dreaming about oral bacteria, he likes to ride the river trails on his e-bike with his wife and three kids.
