Dr. Don Utas

Dr. Don Utas received his Dental degree from the University of Saskatchewan 18 years ago and bought Meadowbrook Dental in Chilliwack a year later. As a lifelong learner, he has earned a Diploma of Technology at BCIT and a Bachelor of Education at Simon Fraser University and worked as a Park Ranger and a high school teacher before devoting his life to helping people through dentistry. For the past five years, Dr. Utas has been committed to offering the most up-to-date technology to his patients through laser dentistry. He received Mastership Certification in Laser Dentistry at the World Clinical Laser Institute in California, and he continues to learn about new procedures through continuing education in the US and Canada.

"I have fun with what I do," Don said. "Lasers allow me to do more for my patients and, in my opinion, are a better way than using the old-fashioned methods. Lasers make the job more interesting and benefit patients. Helping people is my number one priority."

He and his wife live in Abbotsford with their four children between the ages of 12 and 21. Much of his spare time is spent taking his very active kids to their sports activities. He also coaches his son's rugby team, plays basketball, reads books, plays guitar and pursues photography.
