About Dr. Brian Tavoian

A Utah native, Dr. Brian Tavoian specializes in cosmetic dentistry at his practice. He provides a full set of restorative services as well, including dental implants that he places and restores himself rather than referring patients out.

The Tavoian approach is built on a single thought: the people who walk through the door are friends, not just patients. That philosophy carries through every appointment with our dentist in Cedar City, UT, from a routine cleaning to a complete smile makeover.

When he is not in the office, Dr. Tavoian spends time with his family and travels for humanitarian dental missions to Africa, El Salvador, and Armenia.

When teeth are damaged, decayed, or missing, restorative work brings them back to life. Dr. Tavoian provides crowns, bridges, fillings, root canals, and full-mouth reconstruction

Dental Implants

Most general dentists refer dental implant cases to specialists for the surgical phase. Dr. Tavoian has the advanced training to place and restore implants himself, completing every step at our Cedar City office.

Dental Technician

CEREC Same-Day Crowns

Our office uses CEREC® CAD/CAM technology to design and mill a custom crown in about 45 minutes. Patients leave with the permanent same-day crown in place, so there's no need for a second appointment.

Sedation Dentistry

Three sedation options are available for nervous patients or longer procedures: nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Dr. Tavoian matches the right option to your medical history and the procedure.

"Hands down the best 
dentist I've ever been to."


"Dr. Brian K. Tavoian is hands down the best dentist I've ever been to. When a crown unexpectedly fell out, he got me in quickly and took care of it with incredible professionalism and skill. Dr. Tavoian clearly knows what he's doing, and you can tell he truly cares about his patients and their comfort."

"They got me in same day and even stayed late."


"This dentist is honestly the best dentist I have ever went to! I was in so much pain yesterday and I had to drive an hour to get to a dentist, as we no longer have one in my town. They got me in same day and even stayed late to get me out of pain! Highly recommended! I've already told half the town of Panguitch about how amazing these people are."
