The Rise of Digital Dentistry
How Technology Is Changing Modern Dental Care
Digital dentistry has reshaped many traditional dental workflows by introducing technology into different stages of diagnosis, treatment planning, design, communication and restorative dentistry.
Digital tools can provide dental professionals with more detailed information while reducing some of the manual stages traditionally involved in creating restorations and dental impressions.
These developments can also improve the patient experience by making certain procedures more comfortable and helping information move more efficiently between dental professionals.
Digital Dental Technology
Three Important Areas of Digital Dentistry
CAD/CAM technology, intraoral scanning and teledentistry illustrate how digital tools can support different stages of the modern dental workflow.
Intraoral Scanners
Intraoral scanners capture detailed digital images of the mouth and can reduce the need for traditional impression materials during suitable dental procedures.
Teledentistry
Digital communication can support remote consultations, sharing of images and information, and preliminary discussions between patients and dental professionals.
CAD/CAM Dentistry
Digital Design for Dental Restorations
CAD/CAM systems are an important part of digital restorative dentistry. Computer-aided design and manufacturing technology can support the creation of dental prosthetics, crowns and bridges through a more digital workflow.
Instead of relying entirely on traditional manual processes, digital scanning information can be used during design and fabrication. This allows dental professionals and technicians to work with detailed digital information when producing restorations for individual patients.
The Digital Advantage
Precision, Personalisation and Efficiency
Digital tools can support more detailed treatment information, customised restorative workflows and more efficient communication throughout dental care.
Detailed Digital Information
Digital scans can capture detailed information that may assist diagnosis, planning and restorative workflows.
Personalised Restorations
CAD/CAM systems can support restorations designed around the individual anatomy and requirements of a patient.
Patient Comfort
Intraoral scanning can provide an alternative to traditional impression materials for appropriate dental procedures.
Digital Communication
Digital records and communication can help dental professionals share information and coordinate care.
