Dr. Jacob Zurcher grew up in Vacaville, California, until age 11 when his family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. His father is an orthodontist, so he became interested in dentistry by watching and working with him. It is extremely satisfying for him to help a patient who has dental needs to gain a functional and beautiful smile. In orthodontics, he saw many children and teenagers whose self-confidence greatly increased when their treatment was completed. This gave him the desire to pursue dentistry as a career. After graduating from Skyline High School in Salt Lake City, Utah, he attended Brigham Young University and then the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. Although he originally planned to become an orthodontist like his father, he grew to love the variety of general dentistry during school, so he decided not to specialize. However, he still loves orthodontics too, and he has worked and trained with his father for several years in addition to completing extensive orthodontic continuing education courses. Dr. Zurcher has been married since 2009, and he and his wife have two energetic and fun daughters. During his free time, he loves working on creative projects. While attending dental school, he helped create a card and dice game called “Luck O’ The Dice.” He also enjoys writing, running, biking, gardening and 3D printing. One of his favorite parts of dentistry is getting to know his patients. He looks forward to helping you with your dental needs!
Originally from Salt Lake City, Dr. Theurer graduated from Highland High School one year before his wife, Jordan. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Utah and continued his education at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, where he was trained on the most up-to-date techniques and leading materials used in dentistry today. Dr. Theurer is always trying to learn more and advance his personal talents in dentistry. From 3D printing to CAD/CAM technology to the latest local anesthetic techniques, he still finds passion for his profession. In addition to dentistry, Dr. Theurer loves to read, get outdoors and do any other activity that allows him to spend time with his wife and four children.
