Meet Our Team!
Dr. Bradley Sutton, DDS
My name is Bradley Sutton and I am a partner and dentist here at Yellowstone Dental Associates. I graduated from Marquette University School of Dentistry in May of 2006, which is when I came to work with my father and mentor, Dr. Ernie Sutton. During the next four years working alongside a world class dentist, I realized just how much I still had to learn. Those very valuable and enriching years allowed me to further cement a relationship with my dad that I’ll cherish forever as well as to become the type of dentist I wanted and needed to be. He is truly a great man and a wonderful teacher, which most of you already know. I’m better as a person and as a dentist for the time I got to spend apprenticing under him. In 2010, his dental career was derailed by a brain tumor that helped him realize that there was more for the rest of his life than a spinning drill and chasing a buck. He retired to golf and spend more time with my beautiful mother, and sold Sutton Family Dentistry to me; leaving me with an awesome staff and the best patients on the planet. We moved, and began to share a building with Dr. Kim Smith shortly thereafter, and we’ve been here ever since.
I am the proud dad of four beautiful daughters and one studly son! My wife Kathryn and I have done our best to pull out of them their dad’s zaniness, but it hasn’t seemed to work very well, as I have five kids that act just like me…much to their mother’s chagrin. My oldest, Sadie is an all-around athlete and a perfectionist. She plays mom much of the time and has an incredibly mature and levelheaded attitude. Maggie, the second in line is a girl that likes to keep the throttle wide open. She loves soccer and spending time with her friends, and I am convinced that she could beat up most of the boys her age…luckily she chooses not to. Porter is my only son, and we named him to honor my father's mother Ruth Porter Sutton. My little Porter is a ball of fire whenever he’s doing anything. He can be quiet at times, but when he’s wrestling or riding his motorcycle, it’s at 100%. Riley is my princess, and she flits through the house singing and playing the piano and spreading cheer wherever she goes. Soft hearted doesn’t begin to describe her sensitivity. She is so sweet and precious. Which brings us to the caboose, Emrie. When she was born, we both thought she would continue with her brother’s and sisters’ sweet and cuddly pattern, but she bucked all the trends. She’s been our firecracker/angel of destruction since the day we brought her home. She has more attitude and spunk packed into that little frame than we thought possible. We love our kids each one, and they each bring something awesome and wonderful into our lives.
I love the outdoors, and I really enjoy all of the shooting sports along with running, biking, skiing, hiking and riding my motorcycle. But the hobby I love more than any of them is dentistry. I get a thrill from seeing something ugly turned beautiful; something painful feel better; someone angry or upset recognizing that they are loved and cared for. I consider this one of my callings in life, and I take the job extremely seriously-except for the occasional joke or offhand comment. Life is too short to spend it being unhappy. I love this dental home of ours, and hope you’ll love it too! Thank you for letting us serve you.
Dr. Corbin Stringfellow, DMD
My name is Corbin Stringfellow and I am so excited to be a part of Yellowstone Dental Associates! For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a dentist. So much so that in seventh grade I was able to research and prepare a report on dentistry, and have never looked back since. I have attained a great love for the art and science of dentistry and am dedicated to providing high quality dentistry in an atmosphere that allows my patients to feel comfortable. I am committed to creating smiles that each patient can be proud of. In an effort to always provide the highest quality in dental care, I continually stay current on the latest advancements in dentistry. Additionally, I am an active member of the dental community and a member of several dental organizations, including The American Dental Association and The Idaho State Dental Association.
I received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Utah and from there attended Temple University School of Dentistry where I earned my Doctor of Medical Dentistry. Upon graduation, my family and I moved to Utah and practiced there for 9 years. We recently moved to Pocatello and am excited to be living and put roots down here with my family!
I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, where I fostered a love of the outdoors and spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy hanging out with my wife and kids, hunting, fishing, and playing baseball and basketball. My wife Buffy and I are proud parents of four boys. Our oldest is Taylor. He loves baseball, basketball and just about anything that ends with ball. He has spent the past several years fine-tuning his baseball skills and plays catcher on his team. He also enjoys making videos of our fishing trips, hikes and his bike rides. Next is Thomas, he plays soccer and likes to take things apart and build them back to whole again. He enjoys fishing, hunting, camping and bike riding. He has a flair for adventure, and while we admire his free spirit, it makes my wife a little nervous, for we never know what injuries he might come home with. He approaches life with determination and is a hard worker! Our third son, Carson is torn between football and baseball. He loves them both and can't seem to pick a favorite. He is an all around athlete and has a zest for life and special energy about him. He is a light to our family and has a quick smile. He is the life of the party and to know him is to love him. Our youngest, Ezra wants to be just like his brothers and can be found most days wearing a baseball jersey and setting up make-shift baseball bases in the yard. He is a delightful little boy and is anxious to learn about and explore the world around him. He loves to ride his scooter and hang out with his big brothers, or "Buddies" as he refers to them.
