About Our Highland Park Office
At Sommerfeld Dentistry, we are committed to providing exceptional dental care in a modern, comfortable, and safe environment. Our office combines advanced dental technology with rigorous infection control procedures to help ensure every patient receives precise, efficient, and high-quality treatment with confidence and peace of mind.
Advanced Technology for Precision Dentistry
Our office utilizes advanced dental technology to improve accuracy, comfort, and overall treatment outcomes. By incorporating modern tools and digital systems into our practice, we are able to provide a more efficient experience while enhancing the quality of care for every patient.
We use digital scanning technology in place of traditional impressions whenever possible. This advanced approach increases precision while making the process more comfortable and convenient for patients. Digital scans also allow for improved communication and treatment planning.
For restorative procedures, our office uses electric handpieces designed for greater precision and smoother operation. Compared to traditional air-driven handpieces, electric instruments create less vibration and noise while helping ensure a more accurate fit for crowns, veneers, and fillings.
Digital Imaging & Low-Radiation X-Rays
Digital imaging technology plays an important role in diagnosing and maintaining oral health. Digital X-rays allow our team to detect cavities, evaluate bone levels, assess tooth roots and nerves, and identify concerns that may not be visible during a clinical exam.
Our digital radiography systems reduce radiation exposure significantly compared to traditional film X-rays while producing highly detailed images that can be viewed instantly on a computer monitor. This technology also allows us to securely store and share images with specialists or insurance providers when needed.
Your Safety Is Our Priority
Patient safety and infection prevention are essential parts of our daily operations. Dr. Sommerfeld, Dr. Serlin, and our team follow strict infection control protocols recommended by organizations including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). :content
