Modern dental technology has revolutionized patient care, transforming traditional dental visits into more comfortable, efficient, and effective experiences. Advanced technologies allow dental professionals to diagnose issues earlier, provide more precise treatments, and significantly reduce patient discomfort and recovery time. These innovations have fundamentally changed what patients can expect from their dental visits.
At Sopris Smiles, we embrace cutting-edge dental technology to provide our patients with the highest quality treatment possible. Dr. Golnaz Samimifar and our team utilize advanced equipment and techniques to ensure your dental experience is comfortable, efficient, and delivers outstanding results. Our holistic approach to dental care considers your entire health when recommending treatments, supported by our investment in modern dental innovations.
Modern dental imaging has dramatically improved how dental conditions are diagnosed and treated. Digital technologies provide clearer images with significantly reduced radiation exposure compared to traditional methods.
Our CBCT scanner at Sopris Smiles captures precise 3D images of your teeth, soft tissue, nerve pathways, and supporting bone structure in a single scan. This advanced technology allows us to:
A CBCT scan takes less than a minute and provides immediate, detailed images that help us create more precise treatment plans. The increased diagnostic capability means we can address potential issues before they become more serious.
Digital intraoral scanners have replaced uncomfortable impression materials with a small handheld device that takes thousands of precise images of your teeth. These scanners create highly accurate 3D models of your mouth without the irritation and messiness of traditional impression methods.
Your digital models can be immediately reviewed with you, allowing you to see exactly what your dentist sees and better understand your treatment options. This technology also enables more precise creation of crowns, bridges, aligners, and other dental appliances.
One of the most significant advances in dental technology is the ability to create and place restorations in a single appointment through CEREC same-day crowns. Our CEREC technology at Sopris Smiles enables us to design, build, and set custom ceramic crowns in just one visit. This revolutionary system eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments, making it ideal for anyone with a busy schedule.
The process begins with digital scanning of your tooth, followed by computer-aided design of your custom restoration. The design is then sent to our in-office milling machine, which crafts your crown from a solid block of ceramic material while you wait. We then bond the finished crown to your tooth, completing your restoration in a single appointment.
Same-day crowns save you time and provide exceptional results with restorations that closely match your natural teeth in appearance and function.
Modern dental technology has significantly improved preventive care and early intervention, helping patients maintain better oral health. Digital cavity detection systems can identify decay at much earlier stages than traditional methods, allowing for a more conservative treatment approach. These systems use fluorescence technology to detect changes in tooth structure that are invisible to the naked eye, allowing for treatment before significant damage can occur.
In addition, digital treatment planning software allows us to create detailed, personalized care plans for complex cases. By digitally mapping out treatment steps, we can achieve more predictable outcomes and help patients better understand their treatment journey.
At Sopris Smiles, we’re proud to offer the Solea Laser, a revolutionary dental technology that enables us to complete many procedures with unmatched precision, comfort, and efficiency. This advanced technology allows us to perform needle-free, anesthesia-free fillings, making dental visits faster and more comfortable for patients of all ages.
The Solea Laser also enhances bond strength for longer-lasting restorations. Beyond fillings, Solea is a powerful tool for soft tissue procedures like gum lifts (gingivectomies) and atraumatic gum surgeries, with minimal bleeding and faster healing. We can also use Solea to treat aphthous ulcers and cold sores quickly and painlessly, often stopping a lesion in its tracks. This advanced laser technology helps us deliver top-tier, gentle care with no drills, no needles, and no stress.
Clear aligners have revolutionized orthodontic treatment, offering a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. At Sopris Smiles, we provide clear aligner therapy with the benefit of consultation with a board-certified orthodontist through BeSmyle.
This integrative approach ensures you receive the highest quality orthodontic care that includes:
Clear aligners are removable for eating, cleaning, and special events, making maintaining good oral hygiene during treatment easier. The clear material is virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment.
At Sopris Smiles, we’re committed to providing exceptional dental treatment through our investment in advanced technology. Dr. Golnaz Samimifar has logged over 100 hours of continuing education and is a member of esteemed organizations, including the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Colorado Dental Association, the Metro Denver Dental Society, and the American Dental Association.
