Meet the Orthodontist

Kirk Anderton, DDS, MS, PC

Hello, my name is Kirk Anderton. Anderton is a rather long, awkward name. Over the years, instead of calling me Dr. Anderton, my patients have taken to calling me Dr. A. I am very happy to be practicing in Cedar City. Our family has lived in the area for 9 years, just south of Cedar City in New Harmony. I have practiced orthodontics for over 18 years in Chandler, Arizona, and commuted from Cedar City for 9 years. So, it is with gratitude that I now commute for 15 minutes rather than 7 hours.

I love my job! There is nothing more fun than working with people. Our office is a great place to be, as you will find out. All of the rooms have themes, and we have a happy, up-beat spirit here! Our goal is to make each of your visits to our office a great experience. From start to finish, it's exciting to see people's teeth and lives change as we straighten their teeth and help them achieve a beautiful smile. We look forward to meeting you and helping you. There are no strangers in our office. A stranger is just a friend we haven't met yet.
