Technology + care = an elevated patient experience

Like much of healthcare, dentistry has changed. A lot. Over the last 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 were never able to do in the past because of the technology that we have here today.”

Certified Dental Assistant & Regional Director, Valerie Suraci, added what this can mean for patients, “With the crowns-in-a-day, it becomes really streamlined. They are no longer in a temporary for two weeks.”

Along with being more comfortable and less time-consuming, digital imaging and exceptional treatment planning software remove a lot of the unknown from the process for many patients.

Valerie said, “They are much more informed and educated, which creates 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 the patient’s concerns about radiation. Diagnosing better allows us as a dental team to educate and inform patients about all treatments available to them, providing attainable options.”

Lasers offer a needle-free and drill-free alternative to dentistry to alleviate any anxiety or apprehension from previous experiences, again making dentistry more comfortable and within reach.

“A more pleasant experience and successful results make for happier patients, and happier patients mean the world to our dental team.”

“As a dental professional, there’s 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.”

You don’t have to go to a larger centre for a clinic with start-of-the-art technology. Here in Vernon, Elevate Dental combines modern technology with compassionate, hands-on expertise.
