What Makes us different?
At our practice, we specialize in "Life Changing Dentistry" by assisting individuals in conquering dental anxiety and restoring confidence in their smiles. We strive to simplify the complexities of dentistry by combining traditional methods with cutting-edge technology. With over 14 years of clinical experience, Dr. Young S. Lee is dedicated to making dentistry more accessible and efficient as technology advances. Just as capturing and editing high-quality videos has become easier with modern technology, the field of dentistry has also evolved with the introduction of "Digital Dentistry".
What is Digital Dentistry?
Digital Dentistry involves the use of computers and computer-controlled equipment to assist in dental procedures, ranging from diagnostic imaging to designing and fabricating dental restorations. This technology has led to two major revolutionary advancements in the dental industry.
1. IMPROVED EFFICIENCY
Dental procedures have been streamlined, saving both time and money. For instance, crowns and dentures can now be completed in just one day, compared to the previous 3 weeks for crowns and 2 months for dentures.
2. IMPROVED ACCURACY
Issues with poorly fitting crowns and dentures were often caused by inaccurate moldings or measurements. With the introduction of digital scanning and 3D printing, many environmental and human errors have been eliminated, allowing for precise fits in a shorter amount of time.
If you experience any of these symptoms and suspect a tooth infection, please contact our Elegantly Dental immediately. It is important to seek prompt treatment for an infected root canal to ensure your comfort and protect your overall health and well-being.
Creating a custom night guard digitally is exemplified by the following process:
- A digital scanner is used to create a scan of the mouth.
- The night guard is designed using 3D images generated from the digital scan.
- A 3D print of the night guard is created using biocompatible resin.
Digital Dentistry: Enhancing Precision, Efficiency, and Affordability
We utilize digital technology to create crowns, dentures, implant prosthetics, Clear aligners (Invisalign), and digital smile simulations for Cosmetic Dentistry.
Since adopting "Digital Dentistry", we have been able to achieve extreme precision in a fraction of the time for most dental procedures. Our practice is at the forefront of digital dentistry, utilizing in-house digital designs and 3D printing to provide faster turnaround times and a wider range of procedures at a lower cost. For example, our in-house design and 3D printing capabilities allow us to offer Clear Aligner Invisible Braces (such as Invisalign) to all patients at a fraction of the cost of traditional clear aligner braces.
We believe that utilizing cutting-edge technology to improve crowns, veneers, etc. should not result in higher costs for patients, but rather in increased efficiency and simplicity for both patients and doctors.
