We take great pride in remaining on the cutting edge of dental technology at Boulder Dental Arts. Our philosophy is if there is something that exists that will improve your experience at the dentist and outcome then we will get it. Plus we love cool stuff!
At Boulder Dental Arts, we utilize a suite of imaging technology for precise diagnostic ability and treatment. We are stoked to offer radiation-free alternatives to traditional dentist x-rays AND laser technology to replace the traditional scalpel!
The most recent generations of dentistry have recognized the principle that visualization = better success. If we can see what we are doing we can do a better job. Logic, right? This is why you often see dentists wearing magnifying loupes and headlamps. Those allow us to view your teeth at 2-4x their size, which in turn allows for better dentistry. The majority of endodontic specialists (and a few generalists) have invested in microscope technology, which allows us to now work comfortably at up to 12 times magnification.
CariVu is completely safe and perfect for our patients who may prefer to avoid x-rays. In fact, it is often more diagnostic than an x-ray for seeing cavities and cracks in your tooth. Boulder Dental Arts is one of the only North Boulder dentists to offer this service; we are very, very excited to have added this to the practice!
The thought of x-ray radiation can be disturbing. We offer our patients the latest in digital intra-oral radiology as part of our dental services. You get crystal clear images of your teeth and jaw with a fraction of the radiation exposure you receive from traditional x-rays.
Additionally, at Boulder Dental Arts we have the ability to take traditional bitewing x-rays from outside your head. All you need to do is stand there. This is perfect for children, people with small mouths, tori, gagging issues, or those who simply hate having a film or sensor jammed into their mouth which is most of us.
Who doesnt want a dentist who uses lasers? Not us. Maybe not even you! Our dual wavelength laser allows us to toss the scalpel aside and use gentle light to perform an assortment of procedures on your gums with much less pain, better healing results, and no bleeding. Kill bacteria during deep cleanings, painlessly adjust your gum contour, remove pesky frenums, and more!
We understand that a dental visit may not be rst on your list of fun things to do in life. It might not even be in the top ve for many of you. Yet it remains a necessary part of maintaining a healthy, happy lifestyle. The Boulder Dental Arts philosophy is to build a comfortable environment wherein you can relax, enjoy a friendly atmosphere, and reduce some of the anxiety that may be attached to a dental visit. We provide some of the most advanced dental practices in Boulder, in a setting that is actually fun. Even if you arent having work done, we welcome you to drop into our North Boulder office for a cold beverage, or just to say hello!
As with any technical service, there is an inherent knowledge imbalance with dental treatment that can contribute to feelings of uncertainty and anxiety. If you go to ve different dentists you might end up with seven different versions of what needs to be done. Why is this? Who is right? Is the expensive treatment plan just trying to gouge you? Is the person who says everythings just ne just telling you what you want to hear? Ive developed a very simple approach that I feel cannot ever fail you as a patient: I stand by any dental treatment I recommend, because I would also want it for my teeth or gums. I feel that maintaining this standard of practice means you will always receive the best possible dentistry with the condence that you arent being oversold (or neglected!).
Here at Boulder Dental Arts, you will always receive the highest possible standards of quality. Our objective is to ensure that you are satisfied with your dental outcome, and that what you get lasts. We are meticulous about technique, sterilization, materials, and the labs with which we work. A guaranteed perfect outcome is not possible, but it will always be what we strive for. This is what makes Boulder Dental Arts the best dentist in Boulder!
