At VIP Smiles, we believe that staying ahead of the curve and taking advantage of the latest advancements in dental technology is key to providing our patients with the best possible care. We are proud to integrate state-of-the-art tools and devices that not only improve treatment accuracy and efficiency but also enhance our patients’ overall experience.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the groundbreaking dental technology that makes VIP Smiles the best.
#1. Digital Dental X-Rays: Clearer Images with Less Radiation
When you think of X-rays, you probably think of grainy, black-and-white film strips. However, digital dental X-rays are the new standard in dental technology, producing clearer images with enhanced details and allowing for more accurate diagnosis. Additionally, they expose patients and staff to significantly less radiation, making them a safer choice for those with certain health concerns.
#2. Advanced Cavity Detection
Cavities are one of the most common oral health issues, so it’s important to be able to detect them with accuracy and precision. We use two different types of dental technology to help us detect cavities that may not be visible on standard X-rays: CariVu and DIAGNOdent.
The revolutionary, non-invasive CariVu infrared cavity detection device uses near-infrared light to see through the tooth and identify potential issues with greater accuracy. Similarly, the DIAGNOdent laser cavity detection tool measures the fluorescence within the tooth structure, helping us detect even the smallest areas of decay.
By detecting cavities early using advanced dental technology, we can address them before they escalate, preserving more of your natural tooth structure and preventing further damage to your smile.
#3. Air Abrasion: The Drill-Free Solution
Gone are the days when the anxiety-inducing sound of a dental drill would make procedures a nerve-wracking chore. Air abrasion is a minimally invasive technique that allows us to remove decay and prepare teeth for fillings without the need for traditional drills. As one of the first practices in Utah to adopt this dental technology, we have been using air abrasion since the 1980s.
Air abrasion uses a stream of fine particles to gently abrade the surface of the tooth, which makes it a quieter, more comfortable experience. Plus, numbing injections are usually not necessary, allowing you to enjoy your newly repaired tooth right away.
#4. CEREC Same-Day Crowns: Convenience and Precision
Imagine coming into our office needing a dental crown and returning home the same day with a perfectly fitted restoration. Thanks to CEREC dental technology, we can design, manufacture, and place high-quality, custom-fitted ceramic crowns in just one visit. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments, providing a more convenient, time-efficient solution and immediate results.
#5. Laser Dentistry: Advanced Treatment with Less Discomfort
Dental lasers are transforming the way we perform a wide range of dental procedures. They allow us to vaporize tissue rather than remove it surgically. From gum disease treatment to canker sore removal, minimally invasive lasers offer unparalleled precision and reduced discomfort, often resulting in faster healing times and a more pleasant patient experience.
#6. Sleep Apnea Treatments: Restoring Healthy Sleep
Snoring and sleep apnea affect millions of people, leading to sleep disruptions and affecting other aspects of overall health. The position of the jaw and tongue is essential for ensuring the airway remains open all night long, allowing you to breathe peacefully and get the rest you need.
Dental technology extends to more than just your teeth, offering relief from sleep apnea and snoring. We offer custom-fitted oral appliances that keep your jaw in an optimal position while you sleep, improving your breathing at night. These devices are comfortable and effective, providing a more streamlined, less obtrusive alternative to CPAP machines.
