Dr. Michael H. Parsons, DDS

Dentists in small towns handle everything from routine cleanings to emergencies that can’t wait. Dr. Michael H. Parsons, DDS operates at 231 E 200 S St in Gunnison, a quiet stretch of central Utah where the nearest specialist might be an hour’s drive away. Local practices like this one often become the default for families who prefer not to trek to larger cities for every filling or check-up. The office covers the basics—exams, X-rays, fillings, crowns, and extractions—along with preventive care that keeps minor issues from becoming urgent. Directions are straightforward if you’re coming from the west side of town; the map will guide you past the post office and a handful of low-slung storefronts. To schedule an appointment, call 435-528-7222. Most patients book a few weeks out, though same-day slots occasionally open up for sudden toothaches or broken crowns. The practice doesn’t list specific hours online, so a quick phone call will confirm when the doors are open.

Gunnison sits in a valley where the desert meets farmland, and the rhythm of local businesses tends to follow the seasons—slower in winter, busier once the snow melts. A dentist here isn’t just a place to fix teeth; it’s part of the infrastructure that keeps the town functional without relying on distant services. Dr. Parsons has been part of that setup for years, offering the kind of care that doesn’t require a referral or a long drive. For anyone new to the area or just passing through, the office is a reliable stop when dental work can’t be put off. If you need to find the building, the address is easy to spot once you’re on 200 South. The map here will drop a pin right in front. No website is listed, so the phone remains the simplest way to reach them.
