When I decided to become a dentist, I also knew I wanted to work with the most extreme cases and make the biggest difference in the lives of my patients. That meant specializing in prosthodontics, just like my father.
After dental school, serving in the Air Force and completing my specialty training, my wife and I returned to Utah. We are very happy raising our family here. Right now, Im the only prosthodontist in Southern Utah and Im glad to be of service to our community and to the other dentists in our area.
If you have difficult dental problems or need extensive treatment, you can get the highest level of care available, right here in St. George. My office is convenient and my team and I are reliable and always here for you.
My goal is to improve your dental health and give you a functional, attractive smile that meets your unique needs. Being able to enjoy your favorite foods again and to feel good about your smile will make a big difference in your quality of life. Im proud that my training, skill and experience can make this possible for you.

Our grandson is under the care of Dr Andrus and his competent and helpful staff. Our grandson's case is extremely complex and very expensive. We are still in the planning phase, so we have no results yet, but because of the complexity, Dr Andrus has spent hours planning the procedures necessary to get it right. Applying for medical insurance to help pay for this has been difficult, but they all do everything possible to try. He works well with other providers that are necessary for certain procedures. It is important to know up front if another provider will be necessary because it affects the insurance coverage. The hygienist is helping with our grandson's compliance with mouth care to ensure that his grafts and other procedures remain healthy for his lifetime. The staff is always willing to answer questions and bend over backwards to get thing done if at all possible. I'll write another review when this is all finished up with a healthy, handsome smile.

The staff was very friendly and helpful from the time I stepped through the door to the time I left. Jan, the hygienist who I worked with, was very kind and patient, and took the time to explain what she was doing and how it benefits me. Dr. Andrus is very knowledgeable and I enjoyed working with the entire team. I will go back in the future should the need arise.

I didn't realize how hesitant I was to smile and show my teeth until Dr. Andrus and his staff gave me a whole new smile. I'm so sorry I have to wear a mask at work because I look for reasons to smile. I smile in the store, gas station. Not a creepy I'm a psycho smile but someone is proud of the work they did. I highly recommend them.

1st I'd like to say "GOD BLESS DR. RODNEY ANDRUS" he is a miracle worker!!! So my story started with, Smiles Restored, in Sept. 2019. So I had my bottom teeth removed, the tops were already done, then next a temporary denture for the top. It fit OK then I had the surgery for the screws and the pins for the top and bottom. After my surgery they put the permanent dentures, that I have NEVER EVEN SEEN, I didn't pick size or color. So he put them in while I was coming out of sedation, and sent me on my way. Well as soon as I got into the car they fell out, they never even stayed in not even a little bit. I had a horse's smile, seriously, that was exactly what I saw looking in the mirror. So then my husband decided to take me right then and there to his dentist to see what he could do for my teeth. So my husband decided to take me directly to his dentist. He said that I needed specialized dentistry that was a prosthodontist. So now, this is where DR. RODNEY ANDRUS comes in the picture. So here is the good stuff, he took all new impressions THE RIGHT WAY, & fixed the health of my gums extremely well, they were in bad shape. I have been waiting for my teeth for over two years and in less than six months my new DREAM DENTIST/ MIRACLE PERFORMER, DOCTOR RODNEY ANDRUS, performed a miracle with my mouth, gums, teeth etc. My smile is now the most BEAUTIFUL smile I could ever imagine ever, ever, ever, having. These snap in dentures are so invincible in my mouth I forget that they even come out because I do not feel them they are so comfortable it's unbelievable they look so natural their exactly the color I picked, this size I picked,, this style of the teeth I picked, I can not say enough of how, perfect perfect perfect perfect they are. DR. ANDRUS, I THANK YOU, I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOU AND ALL YOU DID AND DO FOR ME. YOU ARE AMAZING, I APPRECIATE THE TIME SPENT TO MAKE SURE I AM COMPLETELY SATISFIED AND HAPPY WITH THE GIFT OF MY SMILE THAT YOU CREATED, AND GAVE TO ME.

I'm writing this review as a firsthand observer, watching Dr. Andrus and his team work with my mother ( 95 yrs young), fitting her with new dentures with snap in bottom plate. From the removal of her last 7 teeth to the final adjustments, Dr. Andrus was relentless in making everything perfect ! His knowledge, precision, and expertise were evident! Our concerns were always welcomed and addressed. He was able to solve her problem where other's hadn't. He took the time that was needed. He and his staff were patient, kind , and very reassuring! Dr. Andrus never left my mom's side while she was in the chair . He made her feel as if she was his only patient! I highly recommend Dr. Andrus to anyone! You will be as happy as we are ! Thank you Dr Andrus for the wonderful gift you gave my mom!

Never before have I had a dentist, or any doctor for that matter, spend as much time making sure every little thing I needed/wanted was made possible. From our initial meeting to the very last, Dr Andrus Made me feel like I was worth his time. His careful consideration to detail was refreshing as I have never experienced such care. I am thrilled with the results and will continue to use Dr Andrus and his amazing team for all of my dental needs.

I found Dr. Andrus through my dentist brother in another state who did the research for the specialist I needed for my gum problem. After visiting the office, I was so impressed with their professionalism, cleanliness, care, and detail. I highly recommend Dr Andrus and his wonderful staff.

If you are looking for a professional experience with fitting dentures & implants, this is exactly where you need to go. This was my 3rd set of dentures I've had made in my lifetime and Dr. Andruss is absolutely the very best. He is a perfectionist with fitting the dentures correctly & I cannot recommend him enough. If I could give them 10 stars in the review, I would. You will be impressed from your very first phone call with Meredith as to guidance for your dental needs. Definitely give them a call!!!

We recently moved to St. George and Dr. Andrus was able to get my mother in for an emergency dental plate repair immediately! He exudes knowledge and confidence. His staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He also made some adjustments to make her plates fit much better. My mom is very pleased with his work and is looking forward to having him make her next set of plates this Fall.
