Dr. John Gittins is a native to Davis County. He always had a love for science and graduated with a Bachelors degree in Microbiology from Weber State University. He attended Marquette University School of Dentistry in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2011. He was awarded a scholarship with the U.S Army and was one of four dentists accepted into the Armys Prosthodontics Residency program at Fort Gordon in Augusta, Georgia. After completing his residency in 2015, he served as the Chief of Prosthodontics and Dental Technology at Fort Riley, Kansas. There he was instrumental in the care of soldiers and the mentorship of over thirty general dentists.
John was inducted a Diplomat by the American Board of Prosthodontics following the completion of his board exams in 2015. This is the highest honor a specialist can be awarded. He is one of only three Board Certified Prosthodontist in the state of Utah, and one of only 1,000 worldwide.
After his military commitment was complete, he decided it was time to come home. He began teaching Prosthodontics at Roseman University College of Dental Medicine in South Jordan, Utah in 2018. He is loved by both his patients and students and genuinely cares for each one of them.
John met his wife, Jessica, while attending Weber State University and they married in 2002. They have four beautiful children and are thrilled to be back in Utah. John loves having fun with his family, exploring nature, and eating good food. He has three life rules: First, dont take yourself too seriously. Second, whatever you do, do it with passion. And third, take time with the people you love.
