We live in a digitised world. Everything from the cars we drive to how we communicate relies on technology. The profession of dentistry is no different. Dental procedures have become increasingly digitised in the last decade. There is now a wide range of procedures that have been made faster, cheaper, and less painful and uncomfortable due to the use of digital tools. Used in everything from general dental services to cosmetic dental, digital dentistry is making a major impact in the industry.
At ORA Dental, we always strive to ensure our patients are kept fully informed. We’ve put together this quick guide on digital dentistry to make sure you’re up to date.
What Is Digital Dentistry?
Digital dentistry refers to the use of advanced technologies such as digital scanners, 3D imaging, and CAD/CAM systems in dental care. These tools enhance precision and efficiency in various dental procedures, particularly in cosmetic dentistry.
Higher Quality Dental Care
The precision offered by digital tools ensures higher-quality dental care. Digital impressions and 3D models allow dentists to design restORAtions with greater accuracy, resulting in better-fitting crowns, bridges, and veneers.
Faster Dental Treatments
Traditional dentistry methods often require multiple visits. With digital tools, many procedures can be completed in a single appointment. This efficiency is a major benefit for busy patients and those on a budget.
More Accurate and Reliable Scans
Digital scanners provide highly accurate and reliable images. This greatly reduces the margin for error. This accuracy ensures that cosmetic dental procedures such as implants and aligners are executed flawlessly, leading to better outcomes.
An Improved Patient Experience
Digital dentistry makes procedures more comfortable and less invasive. The reduced need for physical impressions and the quick turnaround time make visits to the dentist more pleasant and stress-free.
