Dr. Tyler Shiner

Dr. Tyler Shiner

Dentist

At an early age, Dr. Tyler Shiner, DDS had a passion for science and finding the best way to perform tasks. People always hear him say: “there’s got to be a better way,” and “in one hundred years people will look at how we did things and think we were barbarians.” Dr. Shiner has traveled extensively to seek out the best innovators in the dental field. The dental office that he founded, Advanced Dental, offers the most comprehensive dental care in the world. 

Dr. Shiner was born and raised in Vernal, UT. From 1996-1998 he served an ecclesiastical mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He studied Biology and Chemistry, and graduated with honors from Utah State University. He graduated the University of Maryland Dental School in 2007, and completed a General Practice Residency at the Salt Lake City Veterans Affairs Hospital. 

In 2008, Dr. Shiner moved to his hometown to begin his dental career. His practice began as a start-up, or from scratch. There were ups and downs in the local economy, and many lessons had to be learned from the “school of hard knocks,” but overall his practice that he called “Advanced Dental” thrived. People love Dr. Shiner’s innovative techniques. Dr. Shiner said “Vernal has been very kind to me,” and in April of 2018 he moved his practice to his newly constructed, state-of-the-art dental facility. 

Dr. Shiner has been married to the love of his life for almost twenty years. He and his wife Marilee have six wonderful children. Dr. Shiner enjoys reading, spending time with his family, wake surfing, and traveling.
