Air abrasion delivers dental treatment that’s virtually painless and incredibly precise. This technique utilizes a gentle stream of tiny abrasive particles propelled by compressed air to remove decay and prepare teeth for restorations.

Offering a more conservative approach than traditional drilling methods, air abrasion precisely removes only tooth decay, leaving surrounding healthy enamel untouched. As a minimally invasive, near-silent method, air abrasion is an excellent option for children or anyone with dental anxiety.

The Waterlase laser uses a combination of laser energy and a gentle water spray to perform many dental procedures without the need for drills or anesthesia. It enables exacting, minimally invasive treatment that preserves more of your natural tooth structure.

From cavity preparation and gum contouring to root canal therapy and gum disease treatment, Waterlase provides more comfortable and efficient dental procedures. Compared to traditional methods, you’ll experience less discomfort, reduced bleeding, and faster healing.

Also known as a cephalogram, a cephalometric X-ray produces detailed images that capture a side view of the head, including your teeth, jaw, and surrounding soft tissues.

This diagnostic imaging plays a key role in orthodontic treatment planning, assessing jaw misalignments, monitoring facial growth, and evaluating injuries or fractures. During this quick, painless procedure, your head is positioned between a rotating arm and a film holder to produce an accurate image.

Computer-guided implant surgery combines advanced 3D dental imaging and digital planning software to precisely map out the placement of dental implants. A virtual model of your mouth is created using a CBCT scan, enabling Dr. Lee to plan the exact position, angle, and depth of each implant before surgery.

During your procedure, the customized surgical guide ensures your implants are placed with exceptional accuracy and minimal discomfort. This technology enhances safety, reduces recovery time, and provides predictable, long-lasting results.

Our CBCT scanner is specifically designed to produce high-quality images of the teeth, jaws, and face by capturing tomographic images from different angles. Super-detailed 3D dental images, which depict your teeth, jawbone, sinuses, cavities, and nerves from all angles, are instrumental for accurate dental implant planning and placement. CBCT imaging helps detect hidden problems, including infections, impacted teeth, or inadequate bone density/volume that regular digital X-rays may miss.

Our practice uses advanced 3D facial scanning technology to capture precise, high-definition
images of your face and smile. This innovative system allows us to design restorations and
transformations that perfectly match your natural features—ensuring harmony, accuracy, and
stunning results every time.

With digital impressions, the sophisticated iTero® intraoral scanner is used to capture detailed, 3D images of your teeth and gums. This modern technique eliminates the need for messy impression material, thereby offering a cleaner and more comfortable experience. The digital files improve treatment planning and are available right away to guide the creation of superb restorations, such as ceramic crowns.

A special sensor, rather than film, is used to capture clear images of your teeth and gums in seconds. The process is quick, comfortable, and uses significantly less radiation than traditional X-rays. Because the photos can be enhanced and magnified, this enables more accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment planning, including the sharing of images with other specialists.

Face scans combine advanced technology with expert analysis to provide a comprehensive assessment of your facial structure, symmetry, and aesthetics. Using state-of-the-art imaging techniques, detailed images are captured of your face, giving you a sneak peek of expected outcomes and helping Dr. Lee customize treatment, such as smile makeovers.

During a face scan, you sit or stand in a designated area and remove your glasses or accessories to ensure precise scanning and digital smile design results. The scanning device, which resembles a camera or handheld wand, captures images of your face from various angles by projecting structured light patterns or emitting laser beams.

A specific type of CBCT technology, the I-CAT system, enables Dr. Lee to completely visualize and evaluate erupted and unerupted teeth, the jawbone, jaw joints, and airways. The scan takes less than 10 seconds and provides detailed information, resulting in a more accurate diagnosis and enhanced treatment planning capabilities.

This technology enhances dental implant placement, orthodontic treatment planning, root canals, TMJ evaluation, oral surgery, and periodontal assessments.

Laser dentistry on the Upper East Side of NYC and in Englewood Cliffs, NJ, utilizes focused light energy to perform a variety of dental procedures with remarkable precision and comfort. Dr. Lee uses this technology to treat gum disease and peri-implantitis, remove tooth decay, and reshape gums—all with minimal discomfort and faster healing.

Because lasers are so exacting, they often reduce the need for anesthesia and lower the risk of infection. This technology delivers a gentler, more efficient approach for restorative and cosmetic treatments, resulting in a less stressful experience for you.
