Bekki T. Patton, DDS
Hello, my name is Dr. Bekki Patton. I am a dentist and co-owner of Parkway Dental in Sunriver, St George, Utah. I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, and I’ve lived in several other states including Illinois, West Virginia, Texas, and Puerto Rico.
I earned my bachelor’s degree from Westminster College and my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the West Virginia University School of Dentistry in 1999. Shortly thereafter, I earned a fellowship from the Institute for Natural Dentistry and completed the Whitecap Institute for Dental Implantology residency.
I love making the world a more beautiful and healthier place, so I completed a residency at the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. In 2023, I opened M/D Aesthetics at Parkway. We provide everything from Botox and dermal fillers to facials, laser hair removal, and body contouring.
Cosmetic dentistry is my passion! I love helping patients achieve the smiles they’ve always dreamed of. From veneers, placing implants, prepping, designing, and seating crowns in one appointment to full mouth reconstructions under sedation, we do it all!
My greatest joy is my granddaughter, Dallas. She occupies most of my time outside of work and I am totally in love with her! I also like rock hounding, kayaking, camping, and reading a good book.
At Parkway Dental, we like to have fun. We love celebrating birthdays, holidays, promotions, Harry Potter, and Thursday afternoons (to name a few). So come on in, tour the office, grab a coffee or soda, and make yourself at home.
Drew J. Purser, DMD
Hey everyone! My name is Dr. Drew Purser. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Human Nutrition at Southern Utah University and my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Oregon Health and Sciences University. I have a wide range of experience in oral surgery (extractions/implants), endodontics (root canals), cosmetic dentistry, and more. I love frequently attending continuing education courses to further refine my skills, stay up to date, and provide patients with the absolute best possible care.
Outside of dentistry, I love spending time with my wife and daughter and our dog, Koda (a standard bernedoodle). I also love athletics, most recently I spend my time golfing and playing pickleball. There are some who have referred to me as a pickleball legend (my mom).
I am a St. George native and feel so fortunate to have been able to return and give back to this amazing community. I love being a dentist and love the relationships that come with the profession. Parkway Dental exemplifies what it means to offer patient-centric care, which is a huge reason I love being here so much. I can’t wait to see you soon!
Natiri Swenson, DDS
Hi! I’m Dr. Natiri Swenson. I’m a general dentist with a passion for cosmetic dentistry, creating beautiful, healthy smiles and helping patients feel genuinely comfortable in the dental chair.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Biology with honors and a minor in Chemistry from Utah Valley University before receiving my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Utah. During dental school, I was honored with several awards recognizing clinical excellence, leadership and exceptional patient care.
I especially love cosmetic and restorative dentistry, including veneers, smile design, same-day crowns, clear aligner therapy and comprehensive treatment planning. I also enjoy oral surgery, TMJ treatment and facial aesthetics. Continuing education is a major priority for me, allowing me to bring modern techniques, technology and thoughtful treatment options to my patients.
My favorite part of dentistry is building relationships with my patients. I want every patient to feel heard, understand their options and feel confident in their care. Whether we’re making a subtle improvement or transforming an entire smile, my goal is to create an experience that feels personal, comfortable and positive.
Outside the office, I love spending time with my family, running, hiking, reading and exploring Southern Utah. You may also recognize me around St. George by my very pink car.
I’m thrilled to be part of Parkway Dental, caring for the community I’m proud to call home.
