At Elite Dental, we believe in providing our patients with the highest standard of care. To achieve this, Dr. Lee and her team have invested in state-of-the-art dental technology that allows us to diagnose, plan, and perform procedures with greater precision and accuracy. Using the latest dental technologies allows our Chicago dental office to provide more effective, comfortable care, while saving you time in the dentist's chair and empowering you to make informed decisions about your dental treatment plan.
Cutting-edge technologies at Elite Dental include:
CBCT Scanner
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scanning is a revolutionary imaging technology that produces detailed 3D images of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. This technology allows Elite Dental to provide precise diagnoses for complex cases, including dental implants, impacted teeth, and TMJ disorders, and offer more accurate treatment planning for surgical procedures. As an added benefit, CBCT scanning exposes patients to reduced radiation compared to traditional CT scans.
Dr. Lee and her team use CBCT scanning to take a complete view of the teeth and surrounding structures and provide the most comprehensive and accurate diagnostic information, for more effective and predictable treatments.
Dental Laser Technology
Elite Dental invests in laser dentistry to provide gentle and effective treatments, all while minimizing discomfort and promoting faster recovery. Our dental laser is a versatile tool that uses focused light energy to perform a variety of dental procedures. Laser dentistry allows Dr. Lee and her team to provide minimally invasive treatments with reduced bleeding and swelling, faster healing, and increased patient comfort.
We may use our dental laser to perform effective treatment for gum disease and oral lesions, including the ultra-precise tissue removal for gum treatments and other procedures.
3D Digital X-Rays
To ensure accurate and safe diagnostic imaging and detect and address dental problems early on, our team uses 3D digital x-ray technology. This technology uses advanced digital radiography to offer high-resolution 3D images of your teeth and jaw, for accurate diagnoses, images that are immediately available to our team, and reduced radiation exposure for our patients when compared to traditional x-rays. With 3D digital x-rays, our Chicago dental team can offer faster treatment planning and detect oral health concerns that may be missed with standard 2D x-rays.
Intraoral Camera
An intraoral camera small, handheld camera that captures high-resolution images of the inside of your mouth. With this technology, Dr. Lee and her team can offer real-time visualization of your dental condition on a monitor, allowing you to preview the state of your oral health and take an active role in your dental treatment plan. The intraoral camera also allows us to see small cavities and cracks in the teeth that might be missed by the naked eye.
iTero Digital Scanner
Our Chicago dental office uses the iTero digital scanner, an state-of-the-art digital impression system that eliminates the need for messy traditional dental molds. The iTero digital scanner allows our team to provide fast, comfortable impressions, and highly accurate scans for procedures like dental crowns, bridges, and Invisalign orthodontics. Digital impressions help Dr. Lee and her team ensure an optimal fit and function for your dental restorations and clear aligners, and speeding up the process of impressions and molds allows us to provide an improved patient experience with less time spent in the dentist's chair.
