Gaeun Lee DDS Inc.

On the last day of 2023, we had water shortage around 11am for the first time since we open the clinic, we had to cancel the remaining appointments in the afternoon.
Only this patient who just had the front tooth fractured the day before because of the cavity below the gum line was to be seen in the afternoon for emergency maybe just for temporary crown or flipper. Then water came back at 1 and we could do extraction and immediate implant placement and temporary abutment and temporary crown.

We are always giving out the toothbrush/small toothpaste/floss or interdental brush according to your oral condition. Toothbrushing Instruction You know, self care is a key to happiness~

Thankfully, we are getting gifts from our patients at this special time of the year. Small painting of St. Antonio Mission drawn by patient himself is really amazing..

Introducing our new Trios5 scanner! With existing Trios3, this wireless can make the scanning experience faster and easier.

Persimmons in Apple bag were the very special gift from our patient just placed 3 implants 2 weeks ago and today the patient just placed 2 more implants on lower. The patient could overcome the anxiety about surgery with the recent experience and now said he’s more relaxed. We are just very happy and thankful that we could be a part of the journey of restoring smile! Implant procedure can be stressful, because of surgeries, its lengthy waiting period (3~6months) for osseointegration, using temporary teeth and also you’re paying so much for all those troubles.. But least we can do is trying to make this experience bearable and rewarding one by being your friend all along the journey and doing a good job.

Very healthy gift from our patient after wisdom tooth.. Green eggs!

Scene from the practice..

Three siblings in Able dental~ We are family~

and are also done all day every day in our practice~ with 3D scanning, it’s very accurate and requires only 30-40min for the whole prepping procedure. Also the delivery is quick and easy, too. Not much adjustment is needed. No sweat even for crowns..

We try our best to save the tooth. Core, post and crowns are bread and butter of dentistry.

Implants with minimal invasion with help of CT is our strength! Don’t be stressed out. Most of our dental implant surgeries are done less than 30min. Also more than half of the cases are done without incision. Patients are mostly saying it was better than they worried. Missing tooth can be replaced with thoughtful treatment and gentle care..

Mostly due to biting force and sometimes because of abrasion, our exposed root gets shallow to deep notches. Fillings on the notches on exposed roots are beneficial to enhance gum health and reduce sensitivity. Also looking better too~

It’s fresh fig’s season..! Our patient’s generous gifts.. after multiple crowns. Sometimes crowns can help to maintain the height of the key molars, so they can prevent collapse of vertical dimension by wearing of teeth ..

Sometimes we go in analog way.. when it comes with “time” factor, sometimes 3D scan cannot catch small changes of the soft tissue when the biting pressure or cheek pressure applied. Functional impression can catch the soft tissue deformation after a few seconds of pressure..

Saving tooth with core. Core material for severely damaged tooth strengthens the center of the tooth, prepares tooth for the crown.

Implant crown is on the front. Immediate placement and now crown is on~

Crowns waiting in the morning.. Every tooth is different 😄

Wax festooning after re-mounting of the upper and lower full dentures. Hoping these dentures fit well after curing.. 🙏🦷

Chipped front teeth can also be saved with bonding. As long as they are smooth and polished and are not under heavy contact, they endure years.

Let’s remove hidden cavity in back teeth before it’s too late! Between the tooth or deep in the grooves, caries can happen. Before they become root canal or crown cases, filling can save the tooth.

With CT analysis, quick and minimally invasive but safe and predictable implant surgery is possible in Able dental 😀 surgery

Floss well~ but even if you have cavity between teeth despite your effort, we got you. Filling can still save the tooth

Exposed root after gum recession usually gets erosion or abrasion. One of the solutions can be a filling. By adding up the tooth colored material, teeth can become less sensitive, easier to clean.

A very special gift from our ceramic artist patient! And her amazing arts! Thank you!

Yes it’s bizarre.. but better than missing front tooth, right..? We can put temporary tooth immediately on the day of implantation when the initial stability can be achieved. With experience from 2005, Dr.Lee can place implant in most efficient, esthetic, functional and in less painful way. No more flippers.

Yes, we are doing ! For proper proximal surface contouring which makes it easy to clean, avoid micro gap or food impaction, indirect restoration can be a good option!

We miss shiny day! Our office is calm and cozy and bright especially in the morning~ Also enjoy scanning which is much more easy and accurate than conventional impression taking. Shorter chair time, less exhausting dental treatment is possible! dentist

We - Our gem Melody in front desk, Mr.Jee the manager and Dr.Lee could get a chance to eat outside.. Thankfully our time table is unbelievably hectic, this was rare precious and delicious moment for us..

Happy New Year! Thank you for all the support you’ve given to us. It meant a lot to us. Wish you all the best of the best this 2023! - Able Dental team
