John is a native of the Ogden area and attended Weber State University. After attending dental school at Ohio State University in Columbus Ohio, John practiced in the Phoenix, Arizona area. After 15 years in Arizona, John and his family decided it was time to come back “home” and be closer to family and in 2020, he joined his long time friend Jeff in practice at Torghele and Schmid Dental. John’s wife Amy is also from the Ogden area and they have two sons. In his free time, John enjoys spending time in the outdoors hunting, golfing, and riding dirt bikes with his boys.
Dr. Jeff is an Ogden, Utah native – growing up here and following in his father’s footsteps as a family practice dentist. He attended Weber State University, where he received his undergraduate degree in Zoology with a minor in Chemistry. In 2004, he completed his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry degree from the Case School of Dental Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio. He joined his father at his Ogden office, who then retired a couple of years later.
With more than 14 years of experience, Dr. Jeff is committed to providing comprehensive care to the families who have entrusted their smiles to the Torghele family for over 42 years. His zeal for patient care is evident from his warm chair side manner and his conscientious treatment of each visitor to our practice – many of whom are lifelong patients.
His professional affiliations include the Weber County Dental Association, American Dental Association, and the Utah Dental Association. He is also a certified Invisalign dentist, providing orthodontics for adults and teens right here in our practice.
Jeff and his wife have a charming daughter, McKynlee, with whom they love to spend time outdoors at the beautiful Bear Lake.
When he isn’t busy hunting or fishing, Dr. Jeff also enjoys 4-wheeling or snowmobiling.
