Originally from Colorado, Dr. Hayden Cook has always had a love for the outdoors and spends as much time as possible exploring nature. One of his greatest passions is fly fishing for native cutthroat trout, and he proudly helps run the Utah Cutthroat Slam, working to conserve and promote Utah’s native trout species. Outside of fishing, Dr. Cook enjoys off-roading in his Toyota FJ Cruiser, a hobby that even led him to create a YouTube channel dedicated to FJs.

Dr. Cook earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Utah School of Dentistry and is passionate about providing thoughtful, patient-centered care. Before pursuing dentistry, he worked on a historic steam railroad as a brakeman and fireman, shoveling coal and helping operate the train. He still enjoys trains and railroading as a hobby today, and also finds time to play his bass trombone with community bands, and ride his SeaDoo on the lake when the weather is warm.

Dr. Alvord grew up between Illinois and Utah. He earned his dental degree from Case Western Reserve in 2004, graduating as the top student in his class in Dental Anatomy.

He went on to build his own practice in South Jordan and ran it for sixteen years. In 2020 he sold the practice to lead Professional Insurance Exchange, where he serves Utah dentists as CEO - work that keeps him close to the wider profession while he continues seeing patients here at Grove Creek Dental.

He married Laura in 2003, and they have four children. When he is not in the chair you will usually find him on a mountain bike or skiing Utah’s peaks.
