- Our Technology Services Include:
CBCT 3D Imaging
You probably remember a dark time in the not-so-distant past when getting dental work required you to sit with a tray full of messy impression goop in your mouth for several minutes, while trying not to move or gag. Yuck! Thankfully, today, modern 3D imaging technology allows us to take digital impressions that precisely capture the details of your mouth—without the mouth full of putty.
We paint a thin layer of a safe, tasteless powder over your entire mouth, and our 3D imaging machine captures the unique shapes and contours. This enables a complete 3D digital model that can be used to create brand-new restorations and treatment plans.
Digital X-rays
Digital X-rays are a significant advancement in dentistry. Digital X-rays use much less radiation than traditional X-rays, making them safer for you and our team. They are also more convenient, as they can be taken from the dental chair in a matter of moments. Less time required to take the image means less chance for movement and human error. Images are then sent to our computer system, where they can be instantly viewed right on the screen.
Intraoral Cameras
In the past, the only way we could get a good look at the surfaces of your mouth was with our eyes and the help of a tiny dental mirror. Thankfully, intraoral camera technology gives a whole new view to help us better detect disease and decay.
Intraoral cameras not only help us diagnose and treat oral health problems, but they also help you see what we see. It can often be difficult to understand your oral health problems and your need for treatment when you cannot see the problem yourself. Intraoral cameras help us educate you on what’s going on in your mouth.
Laser Dentistry
Lasers are another important advancement in modern dentistry. At Millcreek Family Dental in Bountiful, our Solea® Laser lets us complete some procedures that used to require minor surgery, without the need for scalpels and sutures. Laser treatments are designed to be less invasive, more comfortable, and cause less pain with faster recovery times—all while leaving healthy tissue intact.
CEREC® Same-Day Dentistry
In the past (and at some dental offices today) having a tooth restored was a lengthy process that required a messy impression, temporary crown, and multiple appointments spread over several weeks. With CEREC® same-day technology, we can condense the process down into a single piece of chairside equipment that allows us to digitally design, create, and place restorations like crowns and veneers in as little as one visit!
