Welcome to dentistry’s newest scanning technology, and we are excited to have the first of its kind in DC!
Our iTero Element 5D, the only dental scanner that takes 6,000 images per second, uses Infrared Imaging, real-time decay finder and time-lapse 3-D Imaging.
With this pain-free health and wellness scan—we conduct a “Digital Tour” of the inside of your teeth! Imagine viewing budding tooth decay with your dentist—right on the screen. (Remember when the pointy instrument was the state-of-the-art decay finder?
Add to that a TimeLapse function that compares images of your teeth—over time. We “overlay” a previous scan onto your current scan, and see the smallest changes in your bite, track receding gums, and detect even slight tooth movements. In addition, the detailed images pinpoint problems so precisely that we can resolve problems while removing less tooth structure. Talk about 21st century dental tracking!
Our Doctors Love It
“The scan-over-scan makes it easy to see even ‘micro-changes’ that we can take care of before they become problems,” says Dr. Elana Shlansky. “And now patients can see what I see in their mouth.”
Another exciting advance for Dr. Shlansky is being able to see cracks in teeth that do not always show up on routine X-Rays. “There usually needs to be a 30 percent change to show up on X-Ray,” she says. She also really appreciates the huge advantage of always having a copy of the patient’s mouth right there in the office, when they are not there.
“It’s a game-changer that goes beyond our fondest dreams in dentistry, “says Dr. Daniel Deutsch. “The most amazing communication and diagnostic tool we’ve ever had. Patients can SEE their decay, changes in their bite from wear and tear. They love it. We love it.”
Washington Center for Dentistry Reviews
I was in DC for a summer internship and had to make an emergency dental appointment for HORRIBLE tooth pain that basically sprang up overnight. The doctors here were able to see me same-day (and the front desk had such compassion for me!). The doctors were able to quickly diagnose my problem and refer me to a specialist for a root canal— the specialist was incredible! I also want to note that my dentist at home consistently dismissed my complaints of sensitivity and pain. The dentists at this office were able to determine within minutes that I needed a root canal! I would give more than 5 stars if I could, and will absolutely be searching for a new dentist, who is as good as the dentists at Washington Center for Dentistry, when I return home.

Dr. Shlansky and Annie are the best!!!! This clinic is very clean space with many proffesional and skillful dentists/dental hygenists! I have been coming here for 5 years since they were the only place which can squeez me in for a same day emergency root canal on that fateful day. Now my whole family come here!
The care is always excellent.
I traveled from Manhattan to DC to do my Invisalign with Dr. Fordjour. I cannot rave about their level of skill, attentiveness and flexibility when scheduling enough. Dr. Fordjour and his team were incredible and made each trip 1000% worth it. If you are hesitant to travel to DC for your dental care take it from me- it's absolutely unquestionably worth it! I love my smile now more than ever and I won't ever see another dentist!

About UsiTero Element 5D FAQs
Can the iTero Element 5D detect cavities or tooth decay?
Yes, the iTero Element 5D uses near-infrared imaging (NIRI) to detect cavities and early signs of tooth decay that may not be visible with traditional methods. This technology allows our team to spot issues beneath the surface of the teeth, enabling earlier treatment and more precise care.
Is the iTero Element 5D comfortable?
The iTero Element 5D is designed to be a comfortable and noninvasive experience. Unlike traditional impressions, there's no uncomfortable putty or molds involved. The digital scanner uses a small, handheld wand to take quick, accurate scans, and most patients find the process easy and well-tolerated.
How long does it take to get an impression with the iTero Element 5D?
The process typically takes just a few minutes to complete. The iTero Element 5D captures detailed, 3D images of your teeth quickly, making the entire process faster and more efficient compared to traditional impressions. The results are available almost immediately for review.
