Meet Our Dentists
Dr. Jude Crutchfield, D.M.D.
Board Certified Pediatric Dental Specialist
I am very excited to be a part of this wonderful team and have the opportunity to live and work in Rocklin. I feel very fortunate to have found a practice and partner whose treatment philosophy is so similar to my own.
​
I received my bachelor's degree from the University of Utah, attended Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine where I received a DMD, and then continued on to receive a Pediatric Dental Specialty certificate from Temple University.
​
While in dental school I had the opportunity to help form a non-profit dental humanitarian organization and travel around the world. During these dental mission trips I was able to treat many children. It was then that I learned how much I enjoy working with kids and being a part of their dental experience. Because of this, I was fortunate enough to further my dental education by specializing in the treatment of children and adolescents.
​
My wife, Rachel, and I have been married nearly 20 years, and are proud parents of three young children: Ivy, Lane, and Scarlett. Spending time with my family, mountain biking, playing volleyball, camping and snowboarding are all things I enjoy.
​
I am excited to grow, with my family, as part of the Rocklin community. I look forward to many years of snowboarding in Tahoe, camping, involvement in local sporting events with my kids, and getting to know you and your children!
