Preventative dentistry is the best dentistry. Regular checkups help ensure a lifetime of splendid oral health while early detection averts expensive major repairs. Sadly, oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer with the worst five-year survival rate, but it is readily diagnosed through regular check-ups. Mom was right...An ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure.
Some examples of what Draper Smiles can do for you are listed below. If you don't see the service you are looking for, please contact our office at 801-571-6541 for details.
Digital X-Rays
We use a technique called "digital radiography" which utilizes and electronic sensor (instead of X-ray film) to capture an electronic dental image. The imagery is available almost immediately and viewed on a nearby computer screen. One of the biggest benefits of this innovation is the substantial reduction in radiation exposure--up to 90% less, in comparison to traditional X-rays.
With the use of a miniature camera that captures color images inside your mouth, you will see on an overhead monitor exactly what we are doing during an office visit. By being able to view the problems in your mouth, you can be more aware and involved in your treatment plan.
Sedation Dentistry
One of the most comforting options offered in our office is sedation. We induce a deeply relaxed state for patients who are going through major cosmetic or restorative dental procedures.
With the use of laser technology, it's now easy to provide far more thorough dental care with greater comfort and precision. You can look forward to pleasant dental experiences at Draper smiles by spending less time in the chair and avoiding the typical surgical after effects, such as bleeding and discomfort associated with inflammation.
Dental Implants
Today, a revolutionary alternative to dentures is a dental implant. To fill the gap from a missing tooth, we sink a permanent anchor down into the gum and then securely place a beautiful replica (a crown) of the original tooth on top.
