Let's understand how computers may help to improve your smile.
What is Digital Dentistry?
Digital Dentistry refers to any computer-based technology that your dentist may use to examine, diagnose and treat your oral health. It allows dentists to work more efficiently.
Some Digital Dentistry Tools include:
Digital X-ray
Traditional X-rays take time as they require filming and are expensive. Digital X-rays are faster and are immediately available to see on a computer screen. Images are stored digitally and can be shared with specialists if necessary. With Digital radiology, there is less exposure to radiation as compared to the traditional X-ray.
Intraoral Scanning and CAD(Computer-Aided Design)/CAM(Computer-Aided Manufacturing) Technology.
Gone are the days when patients had to wait for their model to set with uncomfortable trays of goopy and foul-tasting paste in the mouth. With Intraoral scanning and CAD/CAM technology???????
Over the past years, CAD/CAM dentistry has become increasingly popular among dental professionals. With CAD/CAM dentistry impressions material and trays aren't required. A dental professional captures a digital scan of the patient's tooth with Intraoral Scanner and sends the 3D image of the tooth to the milling machine and mills the restoration often in a single visit.
That means patients can simply relax and avoid waiting for time and discomfort of traditional impressions.
CAD/CAM technology gives you an option to complete the impression process in a single visit, unlike the traditional impression process which took 2-3 weeks.
Intraoral Cameras
It's difficult to explain what is happening in a patient's mouth using just a mirror or X-ray images as the small details cannot be seen in the mirror and X-rays show 2D surface of the tooth. An intraoral camera is a tool your dentist uses to examine a patient's mouth in detail. It looks like a pen and has a camera that takes high-resolution images of a patient's mouth and shows real-time 3D visuals on the computer screen. It helps your dentist to understand the symptoms and conditions thoroughly and discuss them with the patient immediately. It helps the patient to make treatment decisions confidently as they see and understand their dental issues more clearly.
Digitally Guided Implant Surgeries
Digitally Guided Implant Surgery allows patients to visualize their virtual treatment plans, making it easier for dental professionals to explain possible treatment options and potential risks, all while showing their patients the predicted outcome. It increases the accuracy of implant placement and allows dental professionals to plan the ideal position of the implant restoration. It helps clinicians to visualize and approve the treatment plan. With Digital workflow an accurate prosthesis can be manufactured before implant surgery using the precise model of the patient's jaw and surgical guides. Digitally Guided Implant Surgery reduces the pain and discomfort post-operatively and results in better treatment outcomes.
Digital Information Management
Digital Information Management makes it easy for your dental professional to schedule appointments, access records right when they need them, improve workflows and simplify patient information sharing between offices when necessary.
