Meet Dr. John Turke, an integral part of the pioneering team at Smile Science Dental Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. Originally from Howell, Michigan, Dr. Turke’s journey in dentistry began at Madonna University near Detroit, where he embarked on a path that seamlessly blended his love for science, technology, and the arts. His pursuit of excellence led him to the Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine in Glendale, Arizona, a place that not only shaped his professional career but also his personal life, as it’s where he met his wife, Jessica.

Choosing to lay down their roots in Glendale, John and Jessica are the proud parents of a little boy named Zach, and their family is completed by an adorable dog named Minnie, a nod to their love for all things Disney. This family man is deeply committed to his roots, frequently traveling with Jess to visit family in Michigan and Los Angeles, ensuring Zach grows up with a strong sense of family and adventure.

In the realm of dentistry, Dr. Turke has distinguished himself as a dedicated practitioner with a particular zeal for dental implants and digital dentistry. With hundreds of successful dental implant procedures to his name, he is passionate about the transformative power of modern dental solutions, continuously exploring the latest advancements in technology to enhance patient care. His fascination with digital dentistry isn’t just a professional interest; it’s a hobby that sees him tinkering with the latest gadgets and techniques, always looking for innovative ways to push the boundaries of what’s possible in dental care.

Dr. Turke’s approach to dentistry is deeply influenced by a mantra instilled in him by his parents: “Do what you love, love what you do.” It’s this philosophy that fuels his commitment to providing exceptional care, blending the precision of engineering with the aesthetic sensibility of an artist. He is a firm believer in the potential of modern dentistry to not just improve smiles, but to enhance overall health and well-being.

Outside of the clinic, John is a man of varied interests. From hiking the rugged trails of Arizona and biking through its scenic routes to enjoying the challenge of a golf course or the immersive world of video games, his life is a testament to balance and passion. Along with his love for travel and fine dining, these activities reflect a person who cherishes experiences, learning, and the simple joy of living well.
