Whereas most dental offices in Chicago have five or six rooms out of which the dentists work, East Village Dental Centre has 14 rooms, which minimizes wait times and maximizes our ability to care for patients needs when they need it. We are uniquely equipped to handle dental emergencies of all kinds, providing quality same-day, emergency service to patients in pain.
Our state-of-the-art technology allows us to supplement two-dimensional x-rays with 3D CT scan images for precise placement of implants as well as a host of other diagnostic advantages. This cutting-edge technology also means you can say goodbye to bulky impression materials that cause some to gag and say hello to mapping your mouth with digital impressions taken with a digital imaging camera, providing our computers with a 3D map of your teeth and gums. Additionally, see dental crowns being designed on our computers, watch our milling stations bring the crown to life, and walk out with permanent, natural-looking restorations all in one visit.
