Hellgate Family Dental Services

At Hellgate Family Dental in Missoula, we believe technology should make your dental care faster, more accurate, and more comfortable. Dr. Brandon Sturgell has established a fully digital practice, utilizing the latest tools to deliver tangible benefits to our patients.

One of the standout technologies we utilize is CBCT (cone-beam computed tomography), a form of 3D imaging that provides us with incredibly detailed views of your teeth, jaw, nerves, and bone structure. This enables us to plan treatments—such as implants, same-day root canals, and extractions—with confidence and precision.

From diagnostics to same-day restorations, our digital tools help us:

• Detect problems like decay, bone loss, or infection early

• Create custom crowns and appliances with exceptional accuracy

• Shorten appointment and treatment times

• Make procedures less invasive and more comfortable

• Reduce post-treatment healing time

You’ll often see us using digital X-rays, intraoral scanners, and CBCT imaging during your visit. These tools help us explain what we’re seeing, guide you through your options, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Our team is trained in using this advanced technology with care and purpose. If you’re interested in how it all works—or how it can benefit your specific treatment—we’re always happy to show you around.
