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 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 same can be said for dentistry 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, including diagnostic imaging and designing and fabricating dental restorations. This technology has led to two major 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, allowing for precise fits with laser accuracy in a shorter timeframe for patients.
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 scan of the mouth is made using a digital scanner.
- 3D images from the digital scan are used to design the night guard.
- A 3D print is made with biocompatible resin.
Advancements in Digital Dentistry: Improved Precision, Efficiency, and Cost-effectiveness.
We utilize digital technology to design and create crowns, dentures, implant prosthetics, Clear aligners (Invisalign), and digital smile simulations for Cosmetic Dentistry. Since embracing "Digital Dentistry", we have been able to provide precise dental procedures in a fraction of the time. Our practice is at the forefront of digital dentistry, offering in-house digital designs and 3D printing for faster turnaround and a wider range of procedures at a lower cost. For example, our in-house design and 3D printing allow us to offer Clear Aligner Invisible Braces (such as Invisalign) to all patients at a reduced cost. We believe that using cutting-edge technology to improve dental procedures should not result in higher costs for patients, but rather in increased efficiency and simplicity for both patients and dentists.
