Advanced Dental Technology Serving Cedar Hills, Portland
Good dental care has always been about the relationship between a dentist and a patient. At Elite Dental Care, the tools we use are there to make that relationship work better. Dr. Zavari brings more than 20 years of local expertise to every visit, and the dental technology in our Cedar Hills, Portland office is chosen with one goal in mind: to make your appointment faster, gentler, and more precise. We are currently welcoming new patients, and we are in-network with Delta Dental and most major insurance plans. We would love to show you what a difference the right tools can make.
How Our Technology Makes Your Visit More Comfortable and Precise
Every tool in our office is here because it helps you, not because it looks impressive. Here is what you will find and what it actually does.
AI-Assisted Diagnostics
Artificial intelligence in dentistry works like a second set of highly trained eyes. Our AI-assisted diagnostic software reviews X-ray images and flags areas that may need attention, helping Dr. Zavari catch early signs of decay, bone changes, or other concerns that can be easy to miss at first glance. You still get her full clinical judgment on every finding. The AI just helps make sure nothing slips through.
iTero Digital Impressions and 3D Scanning (Impression-Free)
If you have ever had a tray of goopy impression material in your mouth, you know why patients appreciate this one. Our iTero scanner creates a precise 3D digital model of your teeth in minutes, with no mess and no discomfort. For patients interested in Invisalign clear aligners, this scanner also lets us show you a preview of your potential results before treatment begins.
DIAGNOdent Cavity Detection
DIAGNOdent is a small laser device that scans your tooth enamel and measures how light reflects back. Healthy enamel reflects differently than a tooth with early decay, so we can detect cavities in their earliest stages, often before they are visible on an X-ray. Earlier detection almost always means a smaller, simpler fix.
Digital and Panoramic X-Rays
Our digital X-ray and imaging system produces sharp, detailed images while using significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. Panoramic X-rays give us a single, wide-angle view of your entire mouth, jaw, and surrounding bone structure. Both types of images appear on screen within seconds, so we can walk you through what we are seeing right away.
Intraoral Cameras
An intraoral camera is a small, pen-sized camera that lets us show you exactly what we see inside your mouth. Instead of taking our word for it, you can look at the same image we are looking at. Patients consistently tell us this makes the whole experience feel less mysterious and easier to understand.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Technology
Does digital technology make dental visits more expensive?
Not necessarily. Many digital tools help us spot problems earlier, which often means simpler and less costly treatment down the road. We are happy to walk you through any costs before we begin.
Is AI-assisted dental diagnosis accurate and safe?
Yes. AI-assisted diagnostics are designed to help dentists catch things that can be easy to miss on a standard X-ray. Dr. Zavari reviews every finding personally, so the final call always comes from an experienced clinician, not a machine.
Will I still need traditional X-rays if the practice uses digital imaging?
We use digital and panoramic X-rays rather than traditional film X-rays. Digital imaging produces a clearer picture with significantly less radiation, and the images are available on screen within seconds so we can review them with you right away.
