Technology in Los Angeles

Advanced Dental Technology at Trident Dentistry

Dentistry is constantly evolving, and Dr. Elaine Gorelik is always looking for new technology that makes treatment more comfortable, precise, and efficient. At Trident Dentistry, we invest in advanced tools so our Los Angeles patients receive world-class care at every visit.

VELscope Oral Cancer Screening

VELscope uses a special blue light to reveal abnormal tissue in the mouth that may not be visible to the naked eye. This quick, painless screening helps us detect early signs of oral cancer and other disease during your routine exam, when treatment is most effective.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays appear on our computer screen within seconds and contain up to 90% less radiation than traditional film. We can zoom in to examine details more closely, detect hidden decay and bone loss, and show you exactly what we see.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Invisalign® uses virtually invisible, removable aligners to gently straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. Aligners come out for eating and cleaning, so there are no food restrictions, and treatment often takes less time with fewer hassles than traditional braces.

Laser Dentistry

Dental lasers improve efficiency and reduce discomfort in many procedures, including filling cavities, reducing tooth sensitivity, removing tissue, and whitening. Laser treatment is fast and precise and helps eliminate bacteria to reduce the risk of complications.

Magnification Loupes

Custom binocular loupes magnify the treatment area and are tailored to each doctor’s vision and working posture. These prismatic lenses allow Dr. Gorelik and Dr. Niki to work in fine detail, producing more precise aesthetic and biological results with faster, safer procedures.

Intraoral Camera

Our intraoral camera captures clear, detailed images of hard-to-see areas in your mouth. We display these images on a monitor during your exam so you can see cracks, worn fillings, and early problems for yourself and make informed decisions about your care.

CEREC CAD/CAM Same-Day Restorations

CEREC uses a digital camera, computer design software, and an in-office milling unit to create tooth-colored ceramic inlays, onlays, and crowns, often in a single visit. Most procedures are completed in 60 to 90 minutes, with no messy impressions or temporary crowns. It’s ideal for chipped and cracked teeth.

Digital Smile Design

Using 3D technology, Digital Smile Design lets us plan your new smile digitally and show you a preview before treatment begins. Each design is personalized to your facial features and personality for natural, predictable results with veneers and cosmetic dentistry.

Curodont™ Repair Fluoride Plus

Needle-Free. Drill-Free. Early Cavity Treatment. Curodont™ is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that helps stop and reverse early tooth decay before it becomes a cavity requiring drilling and filling. Instead of waiting for decay to worsen, we can intervene early, comfortably and effectively.
