At Kulick Dental, Dr. Chan and our team invest in modern dental technology because better tools lead to better care. Advanced imaging, laser dentistry, and digital diagnostics allow us to detect problems earlier, plan treatments more precisely, and complete procedures with greater comfort and efficiency than traditional methods allow. Every technology we use in our Seven Hills office exists for one reason: to give you a more thorough, more comfortable dental experience with results that last.
We specialize in Sedation Dentistry and Sleep Dentistry, treating people with dental phobias and anxieties We offer different types of sedation dentistry. These include administering oral sedation, a pill, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and intravenous sedation to deliver a combination of drugs. All this depends on the needs of the patient.
In this way the patient and the dentist are comfortable providing and receiving the best possible dental care-safe, and free of stress and pain.
Waterlase combines YSGG laser energy with a gentle water spray to treat teeth, gum tissue, and bone without the heat, vibration, or pressure associated with a traditional dental drill. Because these are the primary causes of procedure-related discomfort, many treatments with the Waterlase can be performed with fewer shots and less anesthesia. Dr. Chan uses the Waterlase for a wide range of hard and soft tissue procedures, including cavity preparation, root canal treatment, and gum procedures, delivering results with less bleeding, less post-operative swelling, and faster recovery for patients throughout Seven Hills.
A Panorex is a panoramic X-ray that captures a full 360-degree image of the teeth, jaws, sinuses, and surrounding bone structures in a single scan. During the scan, the machine rotates around the head while the patient remains comfortably seated with their chin resting on a small support ledge. This comprehensive view allows Dr. Chan to identify structural issues, infections, asymmetries, and concerns that would not be visible on standard individual X-rays, providing a complete diagnostic picture that informs smarter, more thorough treatment planning.
An intraoral camera is a small, pen-sized device that captures high-resolution images of every area of the mouth and displays them in real time on a chairside monitor. This allows Dr. Chan to get a precise look at areas that are difficult to view with the naked eye, and more importantly, it allows patients to see exactly what Dr. Chan sees during their exam. When you understand what is happening in your own mouth, treatment decisions become clearer and more collaborative. The images also support insurance documentation when treatment authorization is needed.
Rotary endodontics uses an electrically driven handpiece with flexible nickel-titanium files to perform root canal treatment with greater speed and precision than traditional hand instrumentation. The rotary system allows Dr. Chan to clean and shape the root canal system more consistently and efficiently, which means shorter appointments and a smoother experience for patients. The flexibility of the nickel-titanium files also allows them to follow the natural curve of each root canal more accurately, reducing the risk of procedural complications and improving the overall outcome of the treatment.
Unlike conventional air-driven handpieces, electric handpieces are powered by a motor rather than compressed air, delivering significantly more consistent torque and cutting power throughout a procedure. This means Dr. Chan can remove decay more efficiently, with greater control and in less time. The result for patients is a faster appointment, more precise preparation of the tooth structure, and a quieter, smoother instrument that reduces the sensation often associated with dental drilling. Electric handpieces are used across a range of restorative procedures at our Seven Hills office.
The i-CAT Cone Beam 3D Imaging System captures three-dimensional X-ray data of the teeth, jaws, bone, and surrounding anatomical structures in a single 20-second scan. This level of diagnostic detail allows Dr. Chan to visualize anatomy that simply cannot be assessed from a traditional 2D X-ray, making it an essential tool for implant planning, surgical preparation, and complex treatment cases. The i-CAT delivers significantly less radiation than a conventional CT scan, operates in a fully open environment for patient comfort, and produces images that are ready for review in under three minutes. Scan data can be integrated directly with planning software such as Simplant for precise, computer-guided treatment.
CEREC technology allows Dr. Chan to design, mill, and place a custom ceramic restoration, including crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers, in a single appointment. The process begins with a digital scan of the prepared tooth, which is then displayed as a 3D model on screen. Dr. Chan designs the restoration chairside, and the CEREC milling unit fabricates it from compressed porcelain in approximately 15 minutes. There are no temporary crowns to wear, no second appointment to schedule, and no traditional impression material required. Patients leave with a completed, precisely fitted restoration the same day treatment begins.
Oral cancer screenings are a standard part of every preventive visit at Kulick Dental. Dr. Chan performs a systematic visual and tactile examination of the soft tissues of the mouth, including the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, and throat, looking for any unusual changes in color, texture, or shape. When indicated, an ultraviolet light or similar detection device is used to reveal tissue changes that may not yet be visible to the naked eye. Early detection dramatically improves outcomes, making this quick, painless screening one of the most important components of routine dental care, particularly for patients with lifestyle factors that increase oral cancer risk.
Digital X-rays replace traditional film with highly sensitive digital sensors that capture detailed images of the teeth and surrounding bone and transmit them instantly to a chairside monitor. The imaging software allows Dr. Chan to zoom in, adjust contrast, and analyze specific areas with exceptional accuracy, improving diagnostic precision. Digital X-rays also reduce radiation exposure by up to 80 percent compared to conventional film X-rays, making them a meaningfully safer option for patients of all ages. Images are stored electronically for easy comparison at future visits and can be shared with other providers when continuity of care requires it.
At Kulick Dental, no two treatment plans look alike. Dr. Chan and our team take the time to understand your goals, concerns, and comfort level before recommending any course of treatment. The result is care that fits your life and a smile that reflects who you are.
