Canyon Rim Dental
Sam Delahunty, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

I’ve had a few dentists in my lifetime, but I’ve never been so impressed then I am with Canyon Rim Dental. The staff is fantastic, I’ve learned things about caring for my teeth from the hygienists that I probably should have already known, but never did. They are friendly and helpful. Dr Delahunty is kind and knowledgeable, he takes time to explain any concerns or procedures. He makes sure your comfortable during a procedure and out of all the numbing shots I’ve had (which are many) his are by far less painful, I don’t know how he does it, but I swear it doesn’t hurt as bad as other dentists I’ve had. He also put a crown on my then 5 year old son and fixed a few cavities for him. He was so good with my son and helped him stay clam and it was overall such a great experience for him too.

I am extremely picky and selecting a dentist was a challenge, especially for my kids. This office came recommended from the heights of the University of Utah dental program. But what really surprised me was just how good Dr. Delahunty was with kids. We’d used a pediatric dentist (Burg) and I was pretty disappointed with how awful the experience of an actual cavity fill was with them. I decided to “graduate” my kids to the real dentist because I realized the “hygenists” at Burg weren’t actually hygenists (they are dental assistants and are legally allowed to basically just brush their teeth, no scaling). When it came time for a cavity fill, I was blown away by how good Dr. Delahunty was. He had all these little tricks (“accidentally” shining his headlamp in my child’s line of sight to keep him from seeing the needle, just genius). My child also has a super strong gag reflex and instead of wanting to dose him with some pretty heavy meds (Demerol, mixed with a few other other things was the Burg solution.) Dr. Delahunty told him to wiggle his toes when he felt gaggy. It totally worked and I didn’t have to feel like I was creating a future addict in the process. They are slightly more expensive because they do not match insurance prices but I’d pay just about anything for true expertise because, as an adult, you only get one set of teeth. At least that’s how I see it. They do bill insurance, and then they direct the payment to go straight to the patient.

I finally found a dental professional I can trust! Dr. Delahunty and his friendly team at Canyon Rim Dental deliver the highest level of care. Their comprehensive range of services and modern technology conquered my challenging oral needs including gum surgery, dental implants and a complete crown overhaul. Best of all is Dr. Delahunty’s compassionate and caring chairside manner. He takes the time to communicate and follows up after every procedure. His positive and personalized attention put all of my dental fears to rest. Our family will stay with him forever. The bottom line: A beautiful and healthy smile + new confidence + peace of mind = Priceless.

Dr Sam Delahunty gave me an incredible experience. I’ve had horrible dentists in the past that charged too much and were very invasive. Dr Delahunty was able to perform a less invasive operation saving my tooth. He taught me the process and walked me though everything so I knew what was going on and felt more comfortable. The office was very attentive and the procedure was very fast. Everyone at this practice provided quality patient care. I will forever be a patient to Dr Delahunty. I would highly recommend this dentist to anyone.

I scheduled a cleaning and a consultation with the Dr. because I hadn’t been to the dentist for over ten years. The staff was very nice and Amy suggested I schedule a two hour cleaning because it had been so long. I went into the cleaning and the hygienist was amazed that my mouth was so clean. So I didn’t even need the extra time. So it was a lot cheaper than I was expecting even though I was prepared for a deeper cleaning. They were honest and fair. They suggest a fair treatment plan for the two very small cavities I had.

I’m from Ohio and I was out in SLC for a few weeks and I chipped a tooth about halfway through my stay. Finding medical care far from home can be intimidating so I was super thankful to find Dr. Sam and his team at Canyon Rim. I needed a crown (my first one), and was dreading it but it was painless and easy. The staff took the time to get to know me and answer all of my questions. Dr. Sam also recommended a night guard to help protect my teeth from further chipping and they rushed it for me so I could get it fitted before we left. I really can’t say enough good things. If you’re looking for a dentist, do yourself a favor, trust the all great reviews and see for yourself why a dentist has a 5 star rating on Google.

Canyon Rim Dental has a super nice and professional staff. They welcomed my boys and I right from the start. They also have the unique ability to make and replace new crowns all in the same visit. I was amazed that they were able to basically 3 D print my new crown out of porcelain right there in the office. No more waiting for a week or two with a temporary crown to adjust to. I got everything taken care of in less than 2 hours!

Me and my whole family love Canyon Rim dental. Dr. Sam is very attentive, and explains things very clearly at all times. I love how he gives follow up phone calls after treatment to make sure his patients are doing okay. I would definitely recommend this office to everyone! All the staff are very amazing. Shout out to my favorite hygienist Trista as well. She keeps my teeth so clean and I love her work.

Sam Delahunty is just amazing!!! I definitely recommend him! He is very personal and kind and doesn’t ask to many questions but still asked the right amounts to make me comfortable. And not to mention I had no pain at all getting a freaking Root canal!!!! Just great! Thank all of you for you amazing professional care

Just had a crown down today, Dr. Sam is the best! I had an emotional experience as a teenage with having to have eleven cavities done. Today as I sat in the chair to have work done for my crown old memories came back. Dr Sam sensed my nervousness and took time to make me feel at ease. And all through the procedure he kept checking to make sure I was alright. Not only was it a good experience while I was there, but later tonight he called me personally to check to see how I was doing. That was going above and beyond ! I really feel he and the staff are very friendly and helpful and concerned with my needs. Thanks Dr Sam and staff!

This is the best dental office! I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and would never change. The staff is the best part, they’re so friendly, patient and informative. Everyone makes it such a great experience! Plus, you know they’re being thorough and giving you the advice that they would give to their own family. Dr. Sam even went as far to call and check up with me after some work they had done. They’re genuinely the best in the valley and I would recommend giving them a call and trying them out for yourself for any kind of dental work!
