The Arlington Heights dental office of Dr. Brent Engelberg is a digital dental practice. This refers to the diagnostics used in your dental care and the digital record-keeping used for archiving your dental health history for future use.
Dedicated to providing the highest quality of dentistry using the latest techniques, Drs. Engelberg has incorporated leading dental technology into their practice to benefit patients: greater diagnostics and planning, less pain, and fewer side effects. Our use of specialized dental care software also supports improved diagnostics, which enables us to provide the most appropriate treatment recommendations for your specific oral health needs.
CEREC Same Day Dentistry
CEREC is a CAD/CAM technology that enables Dr. Engelberg to digitally design, fabricate, and place quality ceramic dental restorations during a single visit. Dental crowns, dental veneers, inlays, and onlays can be made in the office with greater accuracy and the on-site ability to make adjustments for a comfortable fit.
DIAGNOdent
Spotting tooth decay as early as possible is the key to avoiding tooth damage or loss. DIAGNOdent is a painless, non-invasive laser tool that highlights irregularities indicating developing decay or damage. Your cavity can be treated promptly with a dental filling in our Arlington Heights dental office.
Digital X-Ray
Dr. Engelberg has incorporated digital technology and diagnostics to improve the patient experience and increase efficiency in managing dental health records. Digital X-rays expose patients to significantly less radiation than traditional methods.
BioJVA™
Dr. Engelberg uses BioJVA™ to analyze your temporomandibular joints in diagnosing occlusal disorders such as TMJ. This device enables him to detect friction in your joints created during mouth movement. It indicates areas of stress that can cause bite problems and associated pain, such as headaches and jaw pain.
The Wand® & STA® & CompuDent®
To make your dental treatment or procedure as pain-free as possible, Dr. Engelberg uses The Wand® STA® for accurate and easy delivery of a local anesthetic. Computer-controlled delivery of your anesthetic provides consistent comfort during the entire dental procedure. This tool also helps to reduce the spread of anesthetic, which can produce that overall numb feeling that can last for several hours. Many patients can eat and drink easily right away and report no discomfort during their treatment.
DentalVibe
Dr. Engelberg uses a tool called DentalVibe for pain-free injections. It gently vibrates the tissues around the injection site, which distracts your brain so you barely notice the needle at all.
Soft-tissue Laser
Dr. Engelberg uses a soft-tissue laser for gingivectomy and crown lengthening treatments. The laser is more precise and less painful than traditional gum surgery, and many procedures that once required a scalpel can now be done with less discomfort.
Overjet AI
This advanced FDA-cleared digital diagnostic software enhances our ability to identify and monitor developing dental problems such as tooth decay. Dr. Engelberg educates our patients on their oral health using the Overjet AI digital software and digital x-rays. Overjet AI also identifies periodontal disease and can help patients improve gum health during the earliest stages of gum disease.
