Many patients report little or no memory of the procedure and say they felt as if they were snoozing while the work was being done.

If you snore loudly, you know of the social implications of your problem. It's bad enough when your spouse can't sleep in the same room with you, but when your travel companions stop inviting you places because they can't get a decent night's sleep, it may be time for you to do something about it.
Do you ever wake up from a night's sleep with sore teeth and jaws? You could be grinding your teeth. Grinding your teeth is known as bruxism. This rhythmic clenching of the jaws and grinding of the teeth may develop at any age. Teeth grinding is usually done unconsciously in your sleep, but it can also occur when you are awake. Dr. Johansen can fit you with a occlusal appliance or bite guard to reduce jaw muscle pain and protect your teeth and joints.
Magnification has been a centerpiece in Dr. Johansen's practice for many years. He is part of a very small group of general dentists in the country who use a surgical operating microscope. Much of what is done in modern dentistry is very precise work requiring significant levels of magnification. These levels of magnification are only attainable with a microscope.
Dr. Johansen is one of the first dentists in the Salt Lake Valley to provide a procedure known as "hydroabrasion" this is a procedure in which some cavities can be prepared without a drill and at times without the need for local anesthesia. Not a procedure that can be performed for every cavity. But when the situation is appropriate, hydroabrasion is amazingly quick and painless way in which we can repair teeth.
We use dental photography on a daily basis at our office. We do this in order to explain why treatment is necessary and help our patients understand their various treatment options. Being able to see problems and have them explained with a photograph has dramatically increased our patient's understanding of their dental needs.
