Our team can help you achieve the smile of your dreams with treatments such as porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and bonding.

Crown and Bridge Dentistry

Dental crowns and bridges are an essential part of restorative dentistry. A dental crown or "cap" is a covering that fits over a damaged, decayed, or unattractive tooth. It is used to protect and strengthen the tooth, restoring its natural shape and function. Dental bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.

Tooth Colored and Silver Fillings

We offer both tooth-colored and silver fillings to help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. Tooth-colored fillings are designed to match the natural color of your teeth, making them virtually invisible. Silver fillings, also known as amalgam fillings, are made from a mixture of metals and are highly durable, making them suitable for teeth that are subjected to heavy chewing forces.

Our Team

Our team of skilled professionals is dedicated to providing you with the best possible dental care. Dr. Steven W. Carlson, our lead dentist, has been in the business of making people smile for many years. He is committed to offering comprehensive dental care in a timely, caring manner. Dr. Shelby Backman, our associate dentist, fell in love with the dental profession while working as a dental assistant. She graduated from Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada, with her Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2021.

Insurance and Financial Policy

At Mountain Vista Dental, we understand that dental care can be expensive, and we are committed to making our services affordable for everyone. We accept a variety of insurance plans and offer financing options to help you cover the cost of your treatment.
