Synergy Dental

Synergy Dental, particularly the Salt Lake City location led by Dr. Sean Ulm, DMD, AIAOMT, stands out as a premier biological and holistic dental practice in Utah. Their core philosophy, "Dentistry with a Conscience," emphasizes a patient-centered approach that deviates from conventional "factory-style" dentistry. Instead, they dedicate ample time to each patient, ensuring thorough explanations of diagnoses and treatment options, and prioritizing patient comfort. A cornerstone of Synergy Dental's practice is its holistic approach. They firmly believe that oral health is intricately linked to overall bodily well-being. This perspective guides their treatment recommendations, ensuring that all procedures and materials consider the patient's systemic health. Dr. Ulm is recognized for his expertise in this field, being the first dentist in Utah accredited by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT), a leading authority on toxicology and material safety in oral medicine. The practice strongly advocates for the use of biocompatible materials, carefully researching and selecting non-toxic options for everything from anesthetics to implants. This commitment extends to their conservative treatment philosophy, where they prioritize preserving natural tooth structure whenever possible. They offer treatments like remineralization and biomimetic alternatives to traditional crowns. Synergy Dental provides a comprehensive array of services beyond general dentistry, reflecting their biological and holistic focus. These include: Mercury-Safe Dentistry: Utilizing safe amalgam removal protocols to protect patients from mercury exposure and replacing old fillings with biocompatible alternatives. Ozone Therapy: A natural and effective method for treating various oral conditions. 3-Dimensional Cone Beam X-ray: Advanced imaging for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. Cavitation Surgery: Addressing hidden infections in the jawbone. Extractions with L-PRF Grafting: Promoting faster and healthier healing after tooth removal. Full-Ceramic Zirconia Implants: Biocompatible and aesthetically pleasing tooth replacement options. Biomimetic Alternative to Crowns: Restoring teeth conservatively while mimicking natural tooth structure. Sedation Dentistry: Catering to anxious or phobic patients to ensure a comfortable experience. Periodontal Care: Comprehensive treatment for gum health. Dr. Sean Ulm himself is highly regarded for his gentle chairside manner, pain-free injections, and meticulous clinical work. He ensures that patients are comfortable and fully understand their treatment plans. The office environment is designed to be welcoming and comfortable, moving away from a traditional dental office feel. Dr. Ulm has been practicing in Utah since 1999 and is actively involved in professional organizations such as the Academy of General Dentistry, the Holistic Dental Association, and the International Academy of Biological Dental Medicine.
