Dr. Penfield received his dental degree at Creighton University in Omaha Nebraska and his bachelors at Brigham Young University majoring in Spanish and Zoology. He has since received continued training on implants, cosmetics, lasers, three-dimensional radiology, sedation, invisible braces, as well as other aspects of dentistry. James has flown around the world to train with some of the best dental professionals currently today.

Dr. Penfield is an easy going and fun loving guy who grew up working in his father’s lumber business and also worked as a scuba instructor while in dental school. Overcoming cancer at a young age has developed him into a caring and understanding Individual with a high respect for quality of life and how he can improve it for others.

Both loving the outdoors, Dr. Penfield and his wife moved to Alaska in 2004 to seek adventure. He has since had three wonderful children and enjoys watching his children and his practice grow. So few people can really say they love what they do. For James it is a reality.
