Meet Dr. Ben Griffiths, DDS, the founding dentist of Mapleton Family Dentistry. For more than 20 years, Dr. Griffiths has cared for Mapleton families — many of them now in their second and third generation as patients of the practice.
Education & Training
- Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) — University of Iowa College of Dentistry
- Undergraduate — Brigham Young University
- Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency — completing extensive training in complex restorative care, oral surgery, and patient-focused general dentistry
Dr. Griffiths chose the University of Iowa College of Dentistry, one of the nation’s top-rated dental programs, for its emphasis on hands-on clinical experience and comprehensive patient care.
Clinical Focus at Mapleton Family Dentistry
Dr. Griffiths’ patient base spans every age group — from toddlers having their first dental visit to grandparents managing implant-supported dentures. His areas of focus include:
- General & Family Dentistry — exams, cleanings, preventive care, digital X-rays
- Cosmetic Dentistry — whitening, veneers, smile makeovers
- Restorative Dentistry — dental implants, crowns, bridges, full restorations
- Children’s Dentistry — first visits through teen years
- Preventive Care — long-term oral health planning for families
A Quiet, Consistent Approach
Patients describe Dr. Griffiths as calm, unhurried, and direct. He doesn’t oversell treatment. If a tooth can be watched another six months, that’s what he’ll recommend. If a procedure is genuinely needed, he’ll explain it in plain English and give you time to ask questions.
That approach is the foundation Mapleton Family Dentistry was built on — and it’s why so many families have stayed for over two decades. Today, Dr. Griffiths works alongside Dr. Dallin Thueson, DDS, who brings specialized training in dental sleep medicine, periodontics, and clear aligner treatment to the practice.
Outside the Office
Dr. Griffiths is a longtime Mapleton resident. He and his family enjoy time in the Utah Valley outdoors, attending community events, and supporting local schools and youth programs.
