Southwest Dental

What Southwest Dental does

Southwest Dental LLC is a privately held, family-owned dental practice operating from a single location at 5255 4015 W #180 in Taylorsville, Utah, serving the Salt Lake City metropolitan area including Murray, Midvale, West Jordan, Millcreek, and West Valley City. Founded in 1979 by Dr. Nick J. Rudelich, the practice is now operated by Dr. Lucas J. Rudelich (the founder's son) and Dr. Curtis S. Condie as partners, with Dr. Carson Baltazar joining as an associate partner in 2023.

The practice delivers comprehensive dental services organized around three pillars: general and family dentistry (checkups, cleanings, fillings, pediatric dentistry, root canal therapy, sealants, emergency care), cosmetic dentistry (teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, dermal fillers), and restorative dentistry (dental implants, bridges, crowns, dentures). Adjacent service offerings include sedation dentistry and dental BOTOX for TMJ and bruxism. Service is delivered in-house by three dentists supported by hygienists and administrative staff, with a multilingual team providing care in English, Spanish, and Chinese.

The business model is a traditional fee-for-service dental practice. Revenue is generated per procedure, with most major dental insurance plans accepted and processed on the patient's behalf, alongside cash, check, credit card, in-office payment plans, and CareCredit financing. Patients are acquired through the practice's website, local SEO (Google Business Profile), Facebook, Instagram, and patient reviews. Marketing is entirely organic and local; no paid advertising, enterprise sales motion, or external funding is involved. The practice operates with standard dental technology (X-rays, imaging, modern instruments) and uses Modento for digital patient intake and payment processing.
