    Dr. Tucker was a part of the team who reconstructed my husband's jaw after it was removed. His new teeth look great, and we appreciate ALL he did. The care my husband received from Dr.Tucker as well as rest of the team was wonderful. Glad we found the University of Utah.

    Dr. Tucker was great. He installed the denture and my problems were immediately either greatly relieved or fixed. I only wish I could have gotten it sooner.
