Services
Biocompatible Fillings
Our biocompatible fillings use porcelain materials instead of traditional metal amalgam. This holistic approach removes potentially harmful mercury while providing natural-looking restorations that blend with your smile. The special evacuation system captures harmful vapors during amalgam removal, ensuring patient safety. These durable fillings preserve more of your natural tooth structure while preventing future dental issues.
Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy utilizes activated oxygen to eliminate oral bacteria without harsh chemicals. This minimally invasive treatment prevents tooth decay by sterilizing affected areas and promoting natural remineralization. As one of Utah's few providers, we incorporate ozone into various procedures to enhance healing, reduce infection risks, and support overall oral health through natural biological processes.
Laser Gum Treatment
Our CO2 laser technology treats periodontal disease and cosmetic gum concerns with precision. This advanced method removes infected tissue and reshapes gumlines without traditional surgery. Patients benefit from reduced discomfort, faster healing times, and improved treatment outcomes compared to conventional scalpel-based procedures while maintaining dental office sterility.
Smile Makeovers
Custom smile makeovers combine multiple cosmetic procedures to address aesthetic concerns. Using porcelain veneers, dental bonding, and gum contouring, we create balanced, natural-looking smiles. Our approach focuses on conservative treatments that preserve tooth structure while achieving dramatic improvements in tooth shape, color, and alignment through coordinated dental interventions.
Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide and other sedation options help patients relax during dental procedures. This service benefits individuals with dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, or complex treatment needs. Our team carefully administers sedation while monitoring patient comfort, ensuring safe and stress-free experiences without compromising treatment quality or safety standards.

I went to South Ogden Smiles for the first time to get a gum lift and some enamel contouring, it was a great experience! Everyone was super friendly, they explained the whole procedure and asked for my opinion while they were doing it to ensure I was happy with the results. Overall a great experience! I will definitely be going back. And yes, Dr. Tanner did a fantastic job and I love my mew smile!

This is the future of Dentistry. My Son and I came to South Ogden Smiles and was more than pleasantly surprised. The staff made us feel welcomed and comfortable from the second that we walked in. Dr. Tanner was professional and took his time with my many questions. His office was clean and inviting and we never felt rushed. I will recommend this amazing place to everyone I know. The anxiety of going to the Dentist can be a terrible thing for me. I will definitely be more confident and at peace the next time I need dental work done. AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
