Dental Technology
Modern dentistry should feel comfortable, precise, and convenient. At Pelican Dental, we invest in advanced dental technology to help patients receive high-quality care with greater confidence. From digital scanning and 3D imaging to laser dentistry and airway-focused treatments, our technology allows us to diagnose concerns earlier, plan treatment more accurately, and often make procedures faster and more comfortable.
Our Redondo Beach office proudly serves patients throughout the Los Angeles area who want a modern dental experience backed by innovation and personalized care. Whether you need a routine exam, cosmetic treatment, restorative dentistry, or sleep-related care, our technology helps us deliver excellent results with comfort in mind.
Why Dental Technology Matters
Technology is not just about having the newest equipment. It is about improving your dental experience and outcomes. Advanced tools can help us:
- Detect dental problems earlier, often before they become larger issues
- Improve precision during diagnosis and treatment planning
- Increase comfort by reducing messy impressions and invasive procedures
- Support faster healing and more conservative treatment options
- Create a smoother, more efficient appointment experience
- Help patients better understand their oral health through clear images and scans
Dr. Choi and Dr. Koo believe technology should make dentistry better for patients in every way.
iTero Intraoral Scanner
Traditional impressions can be uncomfortable or inconvenient. Our iTero intraoral scanner replaces putty impressions with a fast, accurate digital scan of your teeth and gums.
Using a small handheld wand, we capture highly detailed 3D images of your smile. This digital model can be used for many treatments, including:
- Clear aligner orthodontics
- Crowns and restorations
- Retainers and nightguards
- Smile planning
- Monitoring changes in your teeth over time
Patients love the comfort of digital scanning, especially those with gag reflex concerns or dental anxiety.
Cone Beam CT for 3D Imaging
Some dental conditions require more than a standard X-ray. Our cone beam CT scanner provides detailed 3D imaging of the teeth, jawbone, airway, nerves, and surrounding structures.
This advanced imaging technology helps us plan treatment with a much higher level of accuracy. It is especially valuable for:
- Dental implant planning
- Wisdom tooth evaluation
- Root canal diagnosis
- TMJ and bite analysis
- Bone loss and periodontal concerns
- Airway and sleep-related evaluations
With 3D imaging, we can see important anatomical details that may not appear clearly on traditional two-dimensional X-rays. This leads to safer planning, better communication, and more predictable outcomes.
Fotona LightWalker Laser Dentistry
Our Fotona LightWalker laser allows us to perform many treatments with advanced laser technology for both soft tissue and hard tissue care. This versatile system can often reduce discomfort, improve precision, support faster healing, and keep appointments shorter.
Soft Tissue Laser Treatments
For gum and soft tissue procedures, the LightWalker laser can be used for:
Laser soft tissue treatment, when compared to traditional methods, offers minimized bleeding, reduced swelling, and often has a more comfortable recovery.
Hard Tissue Laser Treatments
The LightWalker laser is also used for hard tissue procedures involving teeth. This may include:
Many patients appreciate that laser cavity treatment may reduce the need for traditional drilling in selected cases. It can be a more comfortable option while preserving healthy tooth structure whenever possible.
NightLase for Snoring and Sleep Support
Snoring and poor sleep can affect your health, energy, and quality of life. Our NightLase treatment uses gentle laser energy to help tighten tissues in the airway and support better airflow during sleep.
NightLase is a non-invasive treatment often chosen by patients looking for alternatives to something such as CPAP machines. Benefits may include:
- Reduced snoring
- Improved sleep quality
- Better breathing during sleep
- Comfortable, non-surgical treatment sessions
- No masks or appliances required for some candidates
If you or a family member struggles with snoring, we invite you to visit our office. Our team can help determine whether NightLase may be a good fit.
A Better Experience for Every Patient
Advanced technology benefits more than just complex treatment cases. It improves routine dental visits as well. From more comfortable scans to clearer diagnostics and less invasive treatment options, our goal is to make every appointment feel easier and more efficient.
