From Santaquin to Canyon Gate Dental in Orem
Santaquin has grown substantially, but its orchards, historic downtown, canyon access and agricultural heritage still give the community a character that is distinctly different from the larger cities farther north in Utah County. Canyon Gate Dental is located in Orem and welcomes patients who make the trip north from Santaquin for dental care.
Santaquin history
From Summit City to Santaquin
Santaquin was first settled in 1851 and was originally known as Summit City because of its position near the divide between Utah Valley and Juab Valley.
Early settlers were attracted by fertile agricultural land, available water and nearby timber. The community was later renamed Santaquin, a name that has remained connected to the city's early history for generations.
Local landmark
The Chieftain Museum
One of Santaquin's recognizable historic landmarks is the Chieftain Museum near the center of town. The museum occupies a restored school building and helps preserve photographs, artifacts and stories from Santaquin's past.
The surrounding area near Center Street and 100 South also connects visitors with several pieces of the city's early community history.
Orchard country
Fruit Growing Is Part of Santaquin's Identity
Agriculture has shaped Santaquin for generations. As fruit growers moved into the area, orchards became an increasingly important part of the local landscape and economy.
That history is still reflected in Santaquin's annual Orchard Days celebration, which brings the community together with a parade, family activities, rodeo events, arts, recreation and other local traditions.
Outdoors
Santaquin Canyon and the Foothills
Santaquin sits against the foothills with Santaquin Canyon immediately east of the community. Trails, parks and access to the surrounding mountain landscape are an important part of recreation for local families.
The city has continued investing in trails and outdoor recreation, including the Prospector View trail area in Santaquin Canyon.
Growing community
Dental Care Beyond Santaquin City Limits
Santaquin families regularly travel north through Payson, Spanish Fork, Springville and Provo for work, school, shopping and professional services.
Canyon Gate Dental gives patients from Santaquin access to a broad range of dental services from one Orem practice, including preventive care, children's dentistry, emergency dentistry, crowns, root canals, cosmetic treatment and SureSmile.
Family dentistry
One Dental Office for Different Stages of Life
Dental needs change as families grow. A child may need preventive visits and sealants while a parent may need a crown, cosmetic treatment or help with an unexpected toothache.
Our goal is to make it easier for Santaquin families to find several types of dental care through the same established Orem practice.

I cannot express the gratitude that I have for Canyon Gate Dental! Dr. Young, & his team are absolute super stars! They have changed my entire smile! I never thought my teeth could look this amazing!

No problem now. They do it slowly to minimize the pain. You are missing out on truly genuine people, with incredible results. Once you go there, I do not think you will leave.

Such a relief to find a great dentist. I just left Canyon Gate’s office and had a great experience. The hygienist did an amazing job with the cleaning and Dr. Young was friendly and clearly knowledgeable. I appreciate that Dr. Young explained everything and is more conservative with treatment suggestions, it made me feel like I’m more important than trying to find extra things to bill for.Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Young is a unicorn, my boyfriend has hated every dentist he has seen. And if fully dedicated to coming back to Dr. Young. The office staff is extremely kind and helpful. All of our insurance needs have been taken care of by Ladeen at the reception desk. The whole process from appointment setting to procedures has been flawless. Thank you!Posted on Google![]()

I have been looking for a personable and compassionate dentist for years. I have finally found a dentist office with caring receptionist, assistants, and dentist. As soon as I talked to the receptionist, you feel welcome and she did a great job answering my questions about my tooth sensitivity. The assistant made me feel comfortable and everyone had a great bedside manner. Dr. Young did a fantastic job making me feel comfortable and thoroughly explained his thought process of how he came up with his diagnosis for my tooth sensitivity. My last dentist told me I needed a root canal and a crown for an infection. Thank goodness I went to Dr. Young for a second opinion, and he repeated an X-ray, and assured me I didn't have an infection and no need of such extreme treatment. He gave me the appropriate treatment and I am going back for my next cleaning appointment. Continue that great service and my family will all come to you.Posted on Google![]()

I can't express my gratitude for the experience I had at this dentist. My fear of going to the dentist is actually to the point I would have rather died then go! Well that was until now! The whole staff was amazing from the phone call to get in to the whole process. I've never felt so comfortable. There needs to be more dentist like Dr. Young. All my fears are gone with this office. If you have any fears please give them a call, you won't regret it!
