The TEAM

Our Providers

Dr. Tyler Hanks, DMD, MPH - Pediatric Dentist

Hi, I’m Dr. Hanks. I was born and raised in Utah and after a decade of adventuring and living out of state, I’m so happy to finally be back home. I graduated from Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health with my DMD and MPG degrees, and completed a pediatric dental specialty residency at Children's Mercy Hospital.

I’m a father to four sons and love spending time with my family. You can catch us cheering on our favorite sports teams, playing board games, singing in the car and playing the latest backyard game they’ve invented. I also love playing basketball, daydreaming about Lake Powell, and cruising around Millcreek on my OneWheel.

Sarah Handy, RDH - Hygienist

Hi! My name is Sarah. I grew up all the way up North in Logan, Utah.  After graduating from Sky View High School I traveled down to SLC to play soccer for Salt Lake Community College where I completed dental hygiene school. After two years of learning all about teeth and oral hygiene I graduated with Sigma Phi Alpha - National Dental Hygiene Honors with awards from Western Society of Periodontology and the Golden Scaler.  

I worked at Happy Tooth as an assistant through hygiene school and am STOKED to be back as a dental hygienist! You’ll find me shredding the slopes during the winter and boating in the sun during the summer. I also love fostering kitties, cooking pasta dinners, and watching movies with my husband. I can’t wait to meet you at Happy Tooth and clean teeth!
