The world of dentistry continues to advance at a rapid pace. If you have visited a Murray dentist in the past few years, you have probably noticed the things that make your visit more comfortable, such as the ability to watch TV or listen to music while receiving treatment. Many Salt Lake City dentistry patients welcome oral conscious sedation to reduce or eliminate pain.
What may not be as obvious are the advances in techniques, tools, and materials. Top Murray dentists now use digital computer imaging, which is safer than traditional x-rays. Dental technicians can store, retrieve, and transmit digital images much easier than was possible with traditional x-ray film.
The use of lasers has also changed the face of dentistry. Laser surgery requires less anesthesia, minimizes swelling, and protects surrounding tissue. Salt Lake City family dentists use lasers for detecting and treating cavities, and dental technicians use them for the curing of restorative materials.
Another exciting development in cosmetic dentistry is the CAD-CAM technology that allows Draper cosmetic dentists to perform restorations in a single visit. The types of procedures that can be completed in one visit include crowns, fillings, inlays, onlays and veneers.
If you need a thorough exam or want to improve your smile with cosmetic dentistry, call Salt Lake Dental Care at 801-938-8855 to schedule a consultation.
