Dr. Julie Buchanan

Dr. Buchanan earned her bachelor’s degree in biology with honors from Southern Utah University. In 1999, she was selected as one of only ten students for the Regional Dental Education Program (RDEP), completing her first year at the University of Utah School of Medicine before finishing her dental training at Creighton University School of Dentistry in Omaha. While at Creighton, she also completed an externship in maxillofacial prosthodontics.

After graduating, Dr. Buchanan returned to St. George to practice with her father in 2003. She is a member of the Spear Education Faculty Club and serves as a local Spear Study Club Leader, helping promote ongoing education and clinical excellence among area dentists. She is committed to continuous learning and integrates advanced, leading-edge technology into her care.

In 2016, Dr. Buchanan completed the University of the Pacific Sleep Medicine mini-residency under Dr. Jamison Spencer and is an active member of the Spencer Study Club. Dental Sleep Medicine is a special focus of her practice, where she finds it especially rewarding to help patients improve sleep, oral health, and overall well-being.

Dr. Buchanan has loved being a dentist for over 20 years. She truly enjoys seeing patients and providing comprehensive care—from full-mouth reconstructions and cosmetic dentistry to family dentistry and same-day crowns—always with the goal of restoring health, function, and beautiful smiles.
