A Practice with a View
Nestled in Utah’s Salt Lake Valley, South Pointe Dental offers patients breathtaking views of the expansive Wasatch Range. But it’s not just the gorgeous scenery that makes this practice special.
Seth Spangler, DDS, has made every effort to create a memorable patient experience in his 2,400-square-foot, five-operatory practice. From its highly experienced staff members to cutting-edge technology that increases the speed and comfort of procedures, South Pointe Dental offers every patient a unique and comprehensive dental experience.
“Dr. Spangler goes the extra mile to make sure his patients are taken care of,” said Patterson Sales Representative Tammy Ota. “He makes sure that his patients are comfortable, understood and their needs are met.”
Relying on a Team of Experts
Dr. Spangler graduated from Marquette University School of Dentistry in Milwaukee, Wis., in 2003. He joined his father’s practice in the Salt Lake City suburb of Cottonwood Heights as an associate in 2003. Within two years, he became a partner, and three years after that, Dr. Spangler contemplated purchasing the remainder of the practice from his father. However, he wanted to position himself in an area that had potential for future growth. They chose to sell the practice, allowing Dr. Spangler to create a practice of his own. “I appreciate my father for allowing us to sell our practice, enabling me to have the working capital necessary to start up a new practice,” he said.

It didn’t take long for Dr. Spangler to find the perfect location for his new practice. A building in The Pointe Office Park in Draper, located half way between Salt Lake City and Provo, had everything necessary to build a successful practice. Just off a major freeway and joined to a growing office park, Dr. Spangler felt that the area would offer tremendous growth. Dr. Spangler had worked with Ota and Patterson Equipment Specialist Spencer Matthews in his previous practice and contacted them immediately for expertise in equipping and building his new practice. “I went straight to Patterson because the customer service we’d had in the past was unsurpassed. I just knew that I was not going to find better service,” said Dr. Spangler.
With Patterson’s help, Dr. Spangler assembled a team of experts to assist him in building out and equipping his new practice. A contractor, architect and interior designer experienced in building dental practices were essential to the process. “He had all the right people in the ship,” said Matthews. “He chose a premier contractor who has done a lot of dental practices in Utah. People in this economy are tempted to take shortcuts, but he didn’t, and that made the construction process incredibly smooth and ultimately saved him money.”
Dr. Spangler’s team created the optimal floor plan for his space. To maximize productivity, South Pointe Dental’s five operatories are arranged in an L-shape around his angled 12-foot A-dec sterilization area. This configuration allows for easy access to sterilization from any operatory and prevents bottlenecks in the hall.”
For additional patient privacy, Dr. Spangler requested a separate business area that allows him to have private conversations about treatments and financing. A large staff lounge was another necessity for Dr. Spangler. Complete with laptop connections and a projector, the lounge is not only a great place for staff to relax and eat lunch – it’s a perfect space for staff meetings.
