Our Technology
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography)
See the Complete Picture
Every single patient at Elevated Dental receives a comprehensive CBCT scan. This isn't just an X-ray; it's a complete 3D view of your bones, nerves, and soft tissue that reveals connections you never knew existed.
"Patients are not used to seeing a full skull scan when they visit the dentist," explains Dr. Patel, "but it's a game-changer in helping them understand the relationship between their teeth and their overall health."
This advanced imaging helps us:
- Identify hidden infections before they spread to other parts of your body
- Discover why you might be experiencing chronic sinus issues or fatigue
- Plan precise dental implant placement for optimal long-term success
- Detect problems years before they become painful or expensive to treat
Bite Analysis
Understanding How Everything Works Together
Your bite affects everything from your sleep quality to your energy levels. Our advanced bite scanning technology reveals how your teeth come together and identifies issues that could be causing headaches, jaw pain, or even sleep apnea. Dr. Patel's specialized training in airway dentistry – skills he developed while treating professional athletes – allows him to address root causes, not just symptoms.
iTero Digital Scanner
Comfort Meets Precision
Gone are the days of messy impressions that make you gag. Our iTero digital scanner creates incredibly accurate 3D models of your teeth in minutes, making treatments like Invisalign more comfortable and precise than ever before. You can even see a preview of your potential results right on the screen.
Digital X-Rays
Clear Images, Minimal Exposure
Our digital imaging provides crystal-clear pictures while reducing radiation exposure by up to 90%.
This means safer, more frequent monitoring of your oral health and the ability to catch small problems before they become big ones.
Laser Bacterial Removal
Gentle Healing
Dr. Patel is one of the few general dentists offering advanced laser therapy for gum health. "The laser works by using a certain wavelength of light to kill bacteria in the gum tissue," he explains. "It's a great way of killing bacteria down under the gums where you can't reach with regular cleaning instruments." This non-invasive treatment helps patients with gingivitis, periodontitis, or ongoing inflammation heal more effectively.
Why This Technology Matters to You
When Dr. Patel invested in these advanced tools, he had one goal: to give every Georgetown family access to early detection and prevention that can truly change their lives. "If we lose a tooth but gain back our vitality and energy throughout the day, it's worth placing an implant," he says. "This is about your overall quality of life."
