Dr. Will Bates believes that the study of dentistry is a lifelong commitment that requires him to expand his knowledge continually. Through hundreds of hours of continuing education courses he has attended and instructions on the latest techniques and materials from respected specialists, Dr. Bates ensures that his North Salt Lake patients can access the very best procedures and materials available in dentistry today.
A Dentist with a Passion for Learning
Dr. Bates’s passion for learning continued right after graduating from dental school when he was accepted to attend further training with the U.S. Navy in an Advanced Education Program in Norfolk, Virginia. This year-long program gave him expert clinical training in all specialties of dentistry.
His dental career has also included working as a department head over a dental clinic in the Navy and a director of dental services for a clinic in Washington state.
Part of staying current with dentistry is learning about and investing in leading-edge dental technology that enhances your experience and improves the level of dentistry we provide. The equipment Dr. Bates chooses to invest in for his practice enhances your comfort and improves our efficiency to get you out of the dental chair faster.

Sedation Dentistry in North Salt Lake, UT
Sedation dentistry gives Dr. Bates another option for ensuring that his patients have a comfortable experience.
Nitrous Oxide for Gentle Relaxation (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is a short-term type of dental sedation that leaves no drowsy side effects. You inhale nitrous through a small breathing mask, and it produces pleasant, calming sensations and a feeling of comfort and well-being. Nitrous oxide effects last only as long as we administer it, and you can safely drive yourself home from your appointment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
With oral sedation, Dr. Bates prescribes a sedative for you to take before your appointment, so you need a driver to get you safely to and from our dental office. You will feel very relaxed and drowsy, and some patients even doze off during their procedure. Because the sedative stays in your bloodstream for several hours, we recommend that you plan to take the rest of your day off.
Can Sedation Dentistry Help You?
If you think sedation dentistry can help at your next appointment at our North Salt Lake dental office, please let us know!
It can be difficult to maintain a white smile as we age. Our teeth naturally begin to lose that bright, youthful-looking luster, and all the staining foods and drinks we consume also take their toll. If you’re a smoker, you’re probably already dealing with brown or yellow teeth that dramatically detract from your smile.
Teeth Whitening in North Salt Lake, UT
The first step is to seek professional teeth whitening treatment at our North Salt Lake dental office then take steps to protect your newly whitened smile. We are pleased to offer in-office whitening if you want to see fast results for a wedding, reunion, or that big job interview.
If you have a couple of weeks and want to see the brightest, longest-lasting results, we recommend our custom take-home teeth whitening kits. The advantage of using our kits over store-bought kits is that they are completely customized for your needs.
You will receive whitening trays that fit perfectly because they’re made using impressions of your teeth. We also provide prescription-strength whitening gel that is more potent than what you can purchase over-the-counter. When used daily for two weeks, you will see a dramatically whiter smile.
Keeping Your Teeth Bright after Whitening
Maintaining your bright smile involves brushing at least twice a day and flossing once. Avoid staining foods and drinks like coffee and red wine, and rinse your mouth with water frequently. Stay current with your teeth cleanings at our North Salt Lake dental office so our hygienist can remove the plaque and tartar that dulls your teeth and give you a clean, bright smile.
If you’d like to get started with teeth whitening, call us and schedule a dental cleaning so we can discuss your options.
