About Jacob Zurcher, DDS
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’s extremely satisfying 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 3-D printing. One of his favorite parts of dentistry is getting to know his patients. He looks forward to helping you with your dental needs!
