Family Dentistry - Saratoga Springs, UT

1. Preventive Dentistry

Our family dentist Dr. Jeremy Thompson believes in preventive dentistry, which focuses on the most conservative treatments to effectively preserve or restore healthy teeth and gums, for example, root canals. We encourage you to schedule routine visits twice a year so we can look for early signs of dental decay and disease or prevent them altogether. One of the sophisticated tools we use to do so is DIAGNOdent™, a highly advanced, harmless, and painless laser detection system that finds cavities hiding in cracks or under old fillings that are nearly impossible to find with other methods. We also offer wisdom tooth (third molar) extraction to prevent damage to other teeth and gum tissue.

2. Pediatric Dentistry

We enjoy helping children achieve and maintain proper oral health with gentle pediatric dentistry in Saratoga Springs, UT. We encourage you to bring your child to see us early to help prevent dental anxiety and encourage them to develop excellent oral hygiene habits when they’re young. Dentistry for children includes regular exams and cleanings, digital X-rays, fluoride treatment, dental sealants, and fillings. Made from clear or tooth-colored resin, dental sealants form a smooth coating over the natural pits and grooves of the tooth surface to block bacteria and food debris from causing decay. It’s recommended that sealants are applied in children ages 6 to 12 as soon as their permanent molars come in.

3. Emergency Dentistry

Teeth break, kids fall and hit their mouths on toys, and uncomfortable nerve pain can develop out of nowhere. We do everything possible to provide you with same-day or next-day appointments because we don’t want to see anyone suffer. Whether you or a family member have a cracked or knocked-out tooth, broken restorations, bleeding gums, or other dental emergencies, we’re here to relieve your pain!

4. Sedation Dentistry

All of our assistants are trained in IV moderate sedation. In addition to alleviating dental fear, sedation dentistry helps most patients feel like their dental procedure lasted a few minutes, even when it took a couple of hours. Sedation dentistry also enables withstanding longer treatments, so procedures that typically require multiple visits can be performed quicker in fewer appointments. In addition to IV sedation, we offer nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation. We’ll discuss these options with you and help you make an informed decision on which one best suits your needs.

5. Same-Day Crowns and Bridges

A crown is custom-made to fit over your entire tooth, starting at the gum line, to restore its original shape, size, and function. A dental bridge involves two or more specially fitted crowns that are placed on the abutment or anchoring teeth on either side of the gap left by your missing tooth or teeth. Our in-house milling machine provides the ability to create beautiful same-day crowns and bridges and offers ultimate convenience since you no longer have to wait weeks for a dental lab to create your crown or bridge.

6. Composite Fillings

We believe in metal-free fillings at NuSmile Dental, so we use composite material, a tooth-colored material that provides as durable and strong a result as amalgam fillings, but with prettier aesthetics. Using metal-free fillings also eliminates the risk of allergic reactions or health issues related to mercury release.

7. Cosmetic Dentistry

We offer a wide array of cosmetic dentistry services in Saratoga Springs, UT, such as porcelain and composite dental veneers including Lumineers®, smile makeovers, snap-in smile, and professional teeth whitening.
