Patient First Philosophy
How Our Technology Improves Your Care
Every piece of technology in our office serves one purpose: a better experience for you. That means fewer appointments, shorter wait times, greater accuracy, and more comfortable procedures. Instead of being sent to outside labs or imaging centers, nearly everything happens right here in our office — from 3D scans to finished crowns. Explore our full range of services to see how these tools support the care you need.

3D Dental Anatomy
Cone Beam CT Scanning
What Is Cone Beam CT and How Is It Used?
A cone beam CT scanner captures a detailed 3D image of your teeth, jawbone, nerves, and sinuses in a single, quick scan. Unlike a standard X-ray, this technology gives your dentist a complete view of your oral anatomy from every angle. We use it for dental implant planning, evaluating complex extractions, and assessing orthodontic cases — all without referring you to an outside imaging center.
Benefits of 3D Imaging for Implants and Orthodontics
For patients considering implants, cone beam CT helps Dr. Stoker identify exactly where to place each implant for the strongest, most natural result. For orthodontic patients, the 3D view reveals tooth positions and bone structure that flat images can miss. Having a cone beam CT dentist salt lake city patients can visit in one location means faster diagnosis and a clearer treatment plan from the start.
High-Resolution Oral Mapping
Digital Impressions With iTero
No More Messy Molds
If you have ever had a tray of putty pressed into your teeth, you know how uncomfortable traditional impressions can be. Our iTero digital scanner replaces that experience entirely. A small handheld wand captures thousands of images of your teeth in minutes, creating a precise 3D model on screen. Digital dental impressions are used for Invisalign clear aligners, crowns, and other restorations — and they tend to be more accurate than traditional molds, which may mean fewer adjustments and a better fit.

One-Appointment Restorations
Same-Day Crowns With In-House Milling
With our in-house milling system, many patients receive a finished dental crown in a single visit. After scanning your tooth digitally, we design the crown on screen and mill it from a solid block of ceramic right here in the office. There is no temporary crown, no waiting weeks for a lab, and no second appointment in most cases.
You walk in with a damaged tooth and leave with a durable, natural-looking restoration. It's structural integrity, beauty, and speed combined.
No temporary crowns that can break or fall off
No messy putty materials or uncomfortable trays
Completed entirely within 2 hours
Computerized Guided Surgery
Computer-Guided Implant Placement
By combining cone beam CT data with digital planning software, we map out each implant's position before the procedure begins. Computer-guided placement is designed to improve accuracy, reduce surgical time, and support a smoother recovery. This technology is especially valuable for complex cases like full-arch restorations, where precise positioning of multiple implants is essential.
Advanced Clinical Standards
Gentle Laser & Precision Digital X-Rays
Our diagnostic and therapeutic systems prioritize safety, minimal radiation, and clinical comfort.
Diagnostics
Digital X-Rays & Panoramic Imaging
Digital X-rays produce clear images instantly and expose you to significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. Panoramic imaging captures your entire mouth — including teeth, jaws, and joints — in one wide-angle image. Together, these tools help us identify concerns early and track your oral health over time with greater detail.
Therapeutic
Laser Dentistry
Dental lasers allow us to perform certain soft-tissue procedures with greater precision and less discomfort. Laser treatment may reduce bleeding, minimize swelling, and help tissue heal more quickly compared to traditional methods. We use laser dentistry for gum treatments and other targeted procedures where a gentler approach makes a real difference.

What dental technology do you use at your Salt Lake City office?
Stoker Dental uses dental technology salt lake city patients rely on for modern, efficient care — including cone beam CT scanning, iTero digital impressions, in-house crown milling, digital X-rays, panoramic imaging, laser dentistry, and computer-guided implant placement. Each tool is chosen to make your visits faster and more comfortable.
Are digital dental impressions more accurate than traditional molds?
Yes, digital dental impressions captured with iTero tend to be more accurate than traditional putty molds. The scanner creates a detailed 3D model of your teeth, which helps reduce the need for retakes and may lead to better-fitting restorations and aligners.
How does cone beam CT help with dental implant planning?
Cone beam CT produces a detailed 3D image of your jawbone, nerves, and surrounding structures. This allows your dentist to measure bone density, identify the ideal implant position, and plan the procedure with a high degree of precision before treatment begins.
Do I still need multiple visits if you have same-day crown technology?
In many cases, no. With in-house milling, your crown can be designed, crafted, and placed in a single appointment. Some complex situations may still require a follow-up, but most patients leave with a finished crown the same day.
