Detailed Introduction

Salt Lake Smile Design is a prominent dental practice located in Salt Lake City, Utah, dedicated to providing a full spectrum of dental services with a strong emphasis on cosmetic and restorative dentistry. The practice is spearheaded by Dr. Randy Barnhisel, a dentist who combines artistic skill with scientific understanding to achieve natural and beautiful results. What truly sets Salt Lake Smile Design apart is its unique "Smile Design Process." This patient-centric approach ensures that individuals are actively involved in every step of creating their desired smile. It begins with an introductory meeting where Dr. Barnhisel listens attentively to the patient's aesthetic goals. Crucially, their ceramists are brought into the process early, fostering a collaborative environment where a team of three – Dr. Barnhisel, the ceramist, and the patient – works in unison. The process then moves to meticulous preparation and planning, which may involve advanced technologies like cone beam scanning to create 3D digital images of the facial structure. This allows for virtual planning of procedures, ensuring precision and a smooth execution. Temporary restorations are often provided, giving patients an opportunity to visualize and provide feedback on their new smile before the permanent porcelain crowns or veneers are crafted by highly skilled ceramists. These ceramists utilize their artistic talent and deep understanding of light, shadow, form, and symmetry to create restorations that seamlessly blend with the patient's natural features. The final placement of restorations only occurs when the patient is completely satisfied with the color, shape, and overall look and feel. Beyond their specialized smile design, Salt Lake Smile Design offers comprehensive general and family dentistry services, including cleanings, X-rays, exams, preventive care, periodontal evaluations, dental implants, teeth whitening (Zoom and bleach tray), crowns, cosmetic veneers, white composite fillings, bridges, extractions, and root canal therapy. They also provide free consultations and second opinions. Patient comfort is a high priority, with amenities such as iPods with pre-loaded music and noise-canceling headphones, and the availability of nitrous oxide and conscious sedation upon request. The practice is also known for its excellent pediatric dentistry, with a staff that is good with children, a playroom, and prizes for young patients, aiming to make dental visits a positive experience from an early age. Salt Lake Smile Design accepts most insurance plans and is a preferred provider for several major insurance companies. They also offer financing options for those without dental insurance and discounts for procedures paid in full, demonstrating their commitment to making quality dental care accessible. Dr. Barnhisel himself is deeply passionate about the art and science of dentistry, constantly striving to replicate the beauty of nature in his restorations. He values the trust his patients place in him and enjoys treating entire families, ensuring a comfortable and positive experience for everyone from infants to the elderly.

We have been to Dr. Barnheisel for many years now. He is the best dentist we have ever had. He has done veneers on my teeth. He does my husband Doug as well and my son Eric. We are willing to come from Kamas and drive to his office and that is quite a distance. His staff are very friendly and do a great job. They even play relaxing music there.

Dr. Barnhisel and his team are the absolute best! They always have me in and out in a timely manner and are some of the most warm and welcoming people. I went to get a cleaning after about 5 yrs of not seeing a dentist (yikes) and they showed no judgement and helped me get back to my routine appointments. Additionally Dr.

B just removed all four of my wisdom teeth, and they fit me in immediately when I thought I was having a problem with the recovery. Luckily nothing was wrong, but the care they have for their patients is very genuine. Highly recommend visiting!!

My dentist recently retired, so I started asking around for a trustworthy replacement. Dr. Barnhisel’s name came up at work so I booked an appointment. I have to say, the staff is friendly, and the dental hygienist meticulously cleaned my teeth; I felt like my teeth were getting detailed! And Dr.

Barnhisel didn't just take a quick peek and send me on my way. He went over my concerns and questions. I’m focused on investing in preventative care, and I believe the best approach is to find professionals who care about their work, long after you walk out the front door; They checked the box.

Salt Lake Smile Design is quite literally the best dental office I have ever been to! Every single member of the staff is kind, funny, understanding, and works to make the environment friendly and inviting. Dr. Barnhisel, himself, is very knowledgeable and has accomplished, what I have been told previously, I needed at least three different types of dentists for.

Having been born missing five adult teeth to finally, at 37, being able to lose them and have a full smile has unlocked another level of confidence that I didn’t know existed.
