What Makes us different?
At our practice, we specialize in "Life Changing Dentistry" by assisting individuals in conquering their 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 it is now easier for anyone to create high-quality videos with modern technology, the same can be said for advancements in "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.
- Enhanced Efficiency: Dental procedures have been streamlined, resulting in significant cost and time savings. For instance, crowns and dentures can now be completed in just one day, compared to the previous timelines of 3 weeks for crowns and 2 months for dentures.
- Enhanced Accuracy: Issues with poorly fitting crowns and dentures were often caused by inaccurate moldings or measurements. The introduction of digital scanning and 3D printing has greatly reduced environmental and human errors, ensuring patients receive precise fits with laser-like accuracy in a shorter timeframe.
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.
An example of how we would digitally create a custom night guard:
- The mouth is scanned digitally to create a digital image.
- The digital scan is used to create 3D images for designing the night guard.
- A 3D print is created using biocompatible resin.
Advancements in Digital Dentistry: 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.
