Dr. Godfrey was born in a small town in Idaho and grew up planning on being a dentist. He was mentored by his grandfather and two uncles who are dentists. He graduated from Bountiful High in 1998, and after a two-year Spanish speaking mission to Argentina, he married his high school sweetheart. Together, they went through school, where he started working in the dental field as a hygienist in 2005 and learned the importance of preventive dentistry. Since his marriage, he and his wife have welcomed four kids to their family: two girls, a boy and then another girl. Dr. Godfrey continued his schooling and was accepted into dental school at Roseman University in 2012. Since then, he has been working as an associate dentist while preparing to own an office where he could establish himself as part of the community. Dr. Godfrey is passionate about dentistry and brings with him experience in administering dental implants, root canal therapy and oral surgery, along with traditional dental procedures.
I am so happy to be helping out at Lifetime Family Dental! We have a great team, and I love working with them! I love the Kaysville area, and our patients are so fun to see and talk with. I grew up in Davis County and graduated from Bountiful High School in 1998. Dr. Godfrey and I have been married for over 20 years, and we have four kids, three daughters and one son. In my free time, I love to read, play cards and eat chocolate! You can usually find me with a Coke Slurpee in my hand! Please feel free to reach out if we can help you with any dental needs.
Hi, I am Lexie, your financial coordinator here at Lifetime Family Dental. Here is a little about me. I grew up in South Ogden/South Weber, the oldest of my four sisters. I was very involved in softball my whole life. After high school, my childhood best friend, Chase, and I fell in love and shortly after moved out on our own. Funny thing, Chase is a baseball catcher, and I am a softball pitcher. Match made in heaven? We think so. Together, we are the proud parents of two fur babies: Millie, our pup who is a Border Aussie, and Jaxx, our kitty. They are the same age and have matching black and white coats.
I love to travel, spend time with my family and pets, and just enjoy the outdoors in general. I look forward to working with you at Lifetime Family Dental and providing you with the best experience possible.

I grew up in Merrill, which is a very small town in Southern Oregon. I loved being close to Crater Lake, the Redwoods and the Oregon Coast. I went to dental hygiene school at the Oregon Institute of Technology and graduated with my Bachelor of Science in 2003. I moved here to Utah in 2006 and have been at this office ever since. I love seeking out adventures with my family, especially in Moab, St. George and Vernal (if you have never checked out McConkie Ranch, you need to)! I love tigers blood rainbows at Paces and any antique store I can find. I am truly grateful for all the friendships I have made over the years at this office and look forward to building many more.
I received my Bachelor of Science in dental hygiene with a minor in health care services education from Weber State University in 1989, where I won the Clinical Excellence Award. I have been working in this office since 2002.
I enjoy helping the incredibly nice patients at Lifetime Family Dental with their oral health. I love receiving compliments from patients on the gentle and thorough care I strive to provide. I love spending time with my family, skiing, camping, hiking and enjoying sports.

My top two favorite places I have visited are India and Peru. I have been in the dental field for over 25 years, and my favorite part is conversing with the patient. I love helping people with dental needs.

We had been going to Dr Howard since 2000. Dr Godfrey purchased the practice upon Dr Howard's retirement. We have enjoyed and trust Lifetime Dental now for 5yrs. Great professional and patient oriented practice. I have had routine cleanings, old fillings replaced and new crowns. I fully trust the staff in their work and recommendations.

Doctor Godfrey and his staff are incredibly kind and the office is clean and comfortable. He approaches every tooth as a unique problem-solving scenario, applying solutions from a deep well of knowledge. He is friendly and amiable, taking time to get to know his clients while they can still use their mouths. Doctor Godfrey is very considerate of the challenges facing dental work with small children and handles kids very well, short of procedures that require full sedation, (for which the office is not equipped). With everything going on these last few years things are tight for many, but Doctor Godfrey continually seeks to give us the best possible recommendations that include lower cost alternatives. The doctor and his wife Jill have been incredibly accommodating, taking time out of their weekends to provide emergency after hours support in sending antibiotic prescriptions and formulating plans for emergency care. Doctor Godfrey was even willing to come in on a weekend in the late afternoon/early night to resolve a broken tooth. For a family who doesn't necessarily have the best of oral hygiene habits, Godfrey and staff have continually shown no judgment whatsoever and given us only the best best of care at a minimum cost. Lifetime Family does take insurance and will maximize your payment potential while also providing in-house payment plans. Billing has been incredibly easy and assessed through a human lens that allows customization to any situation. Thank you, Chris Godfrey, family, and staff. Our family is safe and healthier for the efforts to which yours will go. This office is highly recommended.

I do a lot of research when choosing a new provider and while Google reviews are helpful, I prefer going to community FB groups and searching past posts to find reviews. Especially when a business has an unusually high rating on Google. It's rare for this to happen authentically as most people are more driven to leave a review when they feel wronged then they are when everything goes right. But I saw countless positive reviews about this dentist in those groups on FB - I never came across anything negative. Having a good bedside manner does not make you a good doctor. I worked in animal medicine for almost ten years, and often the vets practicing excellent medicine were the most unpleasant to be around. Many friendly ones had a great personality, but they practiced subpar medicine. I had high hopes that this dentist was the rare unicorn with the whole package. I have high anxiety anyway, but the dentist is probably my least favorite kind of provider to visit (which I know is true for a lot of people). The other issue is money - my husband and I knew what we would both need dental work for was not going to be covered well by insurance. We own a small business that has struggled financially over the last year, so paying 1000s of dollars out of pocket was out of the question. We didn't want to waste our time being told what we already knew. Having an expert inform us that our teeth were in trouble and it was going to cost a lot wasn't necessary - we already knew this. I ended up having a cavity bad enough that I had to go in for an "emergency visit". They squeezed me in despite not knowing me and not really having space for me because I hadn't slept in two days as the pain was so bad. I needed a root canal. We informed him we didn't have funds for a crown, so he spent hours performing the root canal and sculpting a filling (I don't know dental terms - I think this is what it's called) that would be more likely to last until we could come up with the funds for a crown. I was a complete stranger when he did this for me. He went out of his way to make sure I was ok. He also agreed to do a payment plan for us, which if he hadn't I would have been screwed. When I worked in animal medicine we didn't offer payment plans. Historically the vast majority of clients would not pay these back, and vet clinics go bankrupt trying to do the "right" thing by offering payment plans. Even when a bill goes to collections...much of the money is not received by the provider as it goes to the collections agency. Doing business this way will not pay the bills for that clinic. This means a business is taking a big risk when they are willing to go this route for you, which is why my family does our best to honor that. I'm not familiar with dentistry so my personal experience is all I can base my opinion on. I've always felt informed, empowered, and respected. The work he's done seems excellent and I appreciate the fact that he's willing to work towards a solution with us. I shared my fears and reservations with him and he honored my requests. He went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable, and was patient in answering my questions. He offered to get me in at 7 PM once when I had a crown (placed by another provider) broke. I also appreciate how he's handled my children. They're young (4 & 6) and justifiably terrified of the dentist. He has stayed patient and kind and provides a prize once they're done. He treats them like real people - answering questions and is respectful of their wishes. The office staff are always kind and patient and go the extra mile. Insurance has been a pain but they are ready and willing to work through those issues with us while keeping a smile on their face. They are always efficient and we have never had to wait longer than 5 minutes to be taken back. TLDR; the best dentist I've ever been to. Everything about the experiences we've had is excellent, and I'd recommend Dr. Godfrey to everyone.

As has always been my time with Lifetime Family Dental, my routine checkup was a most positive experience. The office staff are pleasant and efficient. Jen, the Hygienist is always pleasant and thorough. Dr Godfry is pleasant and I have never felt like he was in a rush in his work. I can highly recommend this dental practice.

I like the dentist but... Root canal $2400! Insurance paid $1400. Google says a root canal in 2022 should run $600 to $1500. When I go to the Dr or hospital and I see the bill the Dr and hospital takes what insurance pays. I guess this doesn't work for the dentist.

I have LOVED going to Dr. Chris Godfrey. He takes the time with me and my kids in helping us understand what is going on with our teeth, how to best take care of them, and makes us feel at ease. (Which is an accomplishment with my 6 year old!) We have absolutely loved going here.
