Dr. JD Ashman

Dr. JD Ashman early in life knew he had a passion for dentistry. Unlike most 6th graders, JD took an interest in his friends’ loose teeth and often volunteered in aiding the removal of them. Growing up in Utah county, JD graduated from Timpanogos High school, got a B.S. in Biology at Utah Valley University, and went on to get is DMD at Western University of Health Science in California. JD claims his biggest accomplishment is earning the nickname “white tornado” while competing in baseball and football.

In 2014, JD was able to convince the love of his life Mykell to marry him. Since then, they have one son (Duke) and a second child (baby Girl on the way) due in July. Their family loves the outdoors such as hiking, fishing, camping, or just going out on a Sunday walk. As much as their son loved the California beaches, they are more than excited to be back where they both grew up.

While attending Western University of Health Science, JD was able to expand his knowledge in all areas of dentistry. Since WesternU does not have any specialty programs, JD was able to do several patient cases that only graduate specialty programs have to offer. JD looks forward to learning new innovative technology and embraces the challenges that dentistry has to offer.
