iTero Digital Impressions Technology
Digital Impressions for Crowns
The iTero scanner has revolutionized the way we carry out crown procedures at our Kirkland, WA, dental office. Traditional impressions require a “gooey” putty substance that patients had to bite into to leave an impression of their smile. It is messy and often makes patients gag and leaves a bad taste in their mouths. However, this advanced technology allows us to capture the structure of your teeth and gums using safe optical and laser technology. The benefits of the iTero scanner are numerous, dramatically improving your treatment experience and overall satisfaction. The iTero scanner is used for digital impressions of crown and bridge work, partial, and dentures. Hygienists also use it for wellness scans on new patients.
Transparency: By utilizing the iTero scanner, we can provide you with clear visuals of what you need for your treatment. Through this cutting-edge technology, we can showcase the potential result, which allows you to assess and determine whether the proposed treatment aligns with your preferences and goals. This transparency ensures that throughout the decision-making process, you remain fully informed.
Precision and Accuracy: The iTero scanner produces precise digital impressions in just a few minutes, ensuring that the chances of errors and the need for additional appointments are greatly reduced. You do not have to worry about the discomfort associated with traditional impression methods, and you are guaranteed exceptionally accurate results with the use of this technology.

Laser Dentistry
We are proud to offer laser dentistry in Kirkland, Washington. Our commitment to utilizing advanced technology extends to our laser treatment procedures. Laser technology offers numerous advantages, including enhanced comfort, reduced healing time, and improved clinical outcomes.
Reduced Risk of Infection, Bleeding, and Swelling: Laser treatment technology has bactericidal properties, effectively killing bacteria and reducing the risk of infection during dental procedures. It also minimizes bleeding, allowing access to more precise and efficient treatments. In addition, post-operative swelling is significantly reduced, resulting in faster patient healing and recovery times.

Detailed high-quality images: The latest X-ray technology in our dental office produces high-quality images that provide a detailed view of your mouth and any other oral health issues. These images are made available for viewing almost immediately.

In our pursuit of an environmentally friendly office and streamlined patient care, we have adopted digital charting. This advanced system reduces the need for paper charts and enhances the efficiency of our practice.
Improved Efficiency: With digital charting, our dentists and dental staff can quickly access and update patient information at all times. This results in smooth and well-organized administrative tasks, saving valuable time during appointments and allowing us to focus more on delivering personalized care and addressing your dental needs.
Comprehensive and Accurate Data: Digital charting allows for integrating various data sources and provides a comprehensive overview of a patient’s medical history. Chances of errors caused by illegible handwriting or lost paperwork are significantly reduced. The accurate and up-to-date information obtained through the use of digital charting enables better decision-making, improved data security, and patient safety.
