Modern Advancements in Boise Dental Technology

Two Girls in the Beach

Ever wonder what it would have been like to have a bad tooth a couple of hundred years ago? Not fun, that’s for sure. Back then, if you had a broken or infected tooth, you had little choice but to find someone experienced enough to pull it.

Although dentistry has existed in some form or another for thousands of years — a practice first demonstrated by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks — modern dentistry as we know it has only been around since the mid-1800’s. With advancements in today’s technological world, however, modern dentistry has made some pretty impressive leaps and bounds over the past few decades. That’s why Summit Dental would like to provide you with the following important Boise dental treatments we offer that your ancestors would be jealous of.

Painless Boise Dentistry

Even though dentistry has been practiced for thousands of years, doesn’t mean it was painless. In fact, it was often the complete opposite. However, pain associated with visiting your Boise dentist is a thing of the past. Not only does Summit Dental Group offer comfortable dental chairs and a relaxing environment, we provide local anesthesia with advanced techniques to provide our patients with comfortable, painless dental procedures. This makes it safer and easier to undergo specific treatments while saving you unwanted stress and anxiety.

Digital X-Rays

Unlike traditional X-rays, digital X-rays are faster, and safer since they contain up to 90% less radiation. When a patient gets a digital X-ray, an image is received by a computer in a matter of seconds. Your Boise dentist can then zoom into the image to better assess your oral health and find even the smallest problematic areas.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a remarkable solution for those with uneven smiles. Available for adults and teenagers alike, these clear, removable braces are designed to eliminate spacing issues and crowded teeth while simultaneously being nearly invisible to the naked eye. As a popular advancement in modern dentistry, people are able to achieve the smile they’ve always wanted without the look, feel and hassle of traditional metal braces.

Boise Dental Implants

Boise dental implants are a wonderful, permanent option for anyone missing one or more teeth. No matter if a tooth was lost due to decay or injury, advancements in today’s dental technology make dental implants a desirable option. During a Boise dental procedure, an implant is inserted into the jaw where it acts as the foundation for an artificial tooth (crown) to be permanently attached. Once in place, dental implants look, feel and function like natural teeth.

Boise Teeth Whitening

At Summit Dental, we offer in-office teeth whitening treatments to improve your smile by 10 shades. In just a single appointment, you can achieve a bright white smile you’ll love to show off. During this time we will apply a layer of protection to your lips and gums to help prevent any discomfort or irritation before applying our special whitening treatment to help you achieve the highest level results.

Same Day Crowns

In the past, if you needed a crown, your Boise dentist would take an impression mold of your tooth before sending it off to a lab to have a crown created. During this time, two or more weeks would go by where you would have to wear a temporary crown before returning to your dentist to have a permanent crown fitted. Same day crowns, however, are exactly what their name implies. Utilizing advanced CEREC technology, your Boise dentist has the ability to create a custom crown that fits your tooth and place it the same day it was created.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are another great option for repairing chipped, cracked, stained or broken teeth. As thin porcelain shells that cover the front of the teeth, veneers can also be used to disguise gaps and improve your bite. During your Boise dental office visit, the surface layer of your tooth is removed to make room for the veneer. The veneer is then color-matched to your teeth and cemented into place with an ultraviolet light.

Summit Dental Group

These advancements in modern dentistry have made a wonderful impact on the dentists at Summit Dental Group and our patients. For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact us at (208) 314-2275 today. By utilizing new and advanced technologies, we will make your visit with us as comfortable and efficient as possible!
