- https://www.canyoncrossingdental.com/meet-the-doctor/ - CareCredit doctor locator (Ivins-area dentist listings) - Verification notes: Owner Dr. Susan M. Baker, DDS, publicly named on site. Practice address 1215 E Snow Canyon Pkwy, Ste 402, Ivins 84738. Dr. Baker has been practicing in the St. George area since 2006 and was previously the owner of Snow Canyon Dental.
Canyon Crossing Dental is a general-dentistry practice owned by Dr. Susan Baker and located in Ivins on Snow Canyon Parkway, the road that connects Ivins to the entrance of Snow Canyon State Park. Dr. Baker has been practicing dentistry in Southern Utah since 2006 and previously owned Snow Canyon Dental before opening Canyon Crossing under her own name and brand.
Ivins is a small city of around 9,000 residents, sitting between Santa Clara and the red-rock hills of Snow Canyon, and its dental options are limited compared to St. George. Canyon Crossing fills part of that gap with a single-doctor practice that does general restorative and preventive work for the area's mix of long-time residents and retirees.
One thing that distinguishes the practice in a small-town context is that the owner-dentist is a woman, which is still relatively uncommon among Southern Utah practice owners and is a meaningful preference signal for some patients. Dr. Baker is publicly named on the practice site with credentials, training, and a personal bio, which is consistent with the practice's overall transparency.
Web presence is good. The site is clean and current, contact details are consistent with third-party directory listings, and the practice is identifiable as a legitimate, single-location, owner-operated office rather than a multi-location chain.
Unresolved Questions
- Confirm whether the practice accepts state insurance plans or is fee-for-service / PPO only.
- Confirm whether Snow Canyon Dental (Dr. Baker's prior practice) remains operating under separate ownership.
