Like much of health care, dentistry has changed. many. Over the past decade, technology has transformed the experience for both the patient and the dental team.
Elevate Dental is a showcase of the difference modern dentistry is making for patients. Owner and dentist Dr. Krystal Hakkaart gave some examples of the advanced technology in the new clinic. “We have 3-D x-rays, we can do crowns in a day, we can do a lot that we could never do in the past because of the technology we have here today.”
Certified Dental Assistant and Regional Director Valerie Suraci added what this can mean for patients, “With crowns a day, it becomes really effective. They are temporarily gone for two weeks.”
Along with being more comfortable and less time consuming, digital imaging and outstanding treatment planning software take a lot of the unknown out of the process for many patients.
Valerie said, “They are much more informed and educated, which makes for a much more relaxed and confident experience as a dental patient.”
“Technology makes dentistry better!” she continued. “Digital X-rays not only allow us to see and diagnose better, but also reduce patient concerns about radiation. Better diagnostics allows us as a dental team to educate and inform patients about all the treatments available to them, providing accessible options.”
Lasers offer a needle-free, drill-free alternative to dentistry to ease any anxiety or discomfort from previous experiences, making dentistry more comfortable and accessible again.
“A more pleasant experience and successful outcomes make for happier patients, and happier patients mean the world to our dental team.”
“As a dental professional, there is no better time to be in the industry,” said Valerie. “It’s truly amazing what we can do and what we offer here in house at Elevate Dental.”
