What Is Digital Dentistry?

Nov 18, 2015

While digital dentistry is a broad topic, it ultimately refers to the use of digital methods in place of traditional techniques for dental procedures. All too often, dental restoration remakes are the result of inaccurate impression molds. Traditional methods of creating dental molds for crowns and other dental restorations are often imprecise, resulting in poorly fitting restorations, wasted time and money in materials, and unhappy and uncomfortable patients.

As a result, many dental professionals are joining the digital dentistry evolution, adopting the use of new equipment. Take for example film-based products and procedures — these have been replaced by digital imaging sensors and digital X-ray technology. But it doesn’t stop there. If you’re thinking about taking your dental practice to the next level, learn more about digital dentistry technologies and the advantages below.

Digital Dentistry Technologies

Dentists who have “gone digital” have an array of leading-edge equipment and technology at their disposal. With digital dentistry equipment in use, traditional dental problems are given upgraded solutions, and there are lot to choose from: CAD/CAM restorations, computerized case presentations, digital radiography, electronic prescriptions, digital impressions, imaging for implant placement, and digitally-based surgical guides — just to name a few.

With the introduction of these technologies, dentists can provide better diagnoses and treatments for patients — not to mention, these technologies also provide a platform for collaborations amongst dentists in resolving monumental dental challenges.

The Advantages of Digital Dentistry

Digital dentistry technology offers significant advantages over traditional dentistry methods. One of the biggest advantages is improved efficiency in dental procedures. Advancements in digital dentistry have allowed for extremely streamlined processes, which have proved to show positive results in terms of both time and cost for dentists and patients alike.

Improved accuracy is also a huge benefit of utilizing digital dentistry technologies. This leads to more accurate diagnoses and treatments, and it removes wasted time and money that can arise from the need to redo molds. Finally, digital dentistry technologies increase the rate of predictability of outcomes. With these leading-edge technologies in use, dentists can easily foresee the outcome of specific procedure and improve the patient’s experience.

"Sun Dental Labs has been producing SunCeram® zirconia crowns and bridges for my patients for some time which are more esthetic looking than the traditional zirconia crowns that appear chalky and unnatural. They are strong enough that they can be used not just in the anterior but the posterior area as well. Sun Ceram zirconia crowns are quality restorations at a competitive price."

"I am starting to work in a new dental office with cases of SunClear® aligners and want to thank Dr. Torres because he has been very helpful to me. I always write him about any doubts, and he responds almost immediately and clarifies them. He helps me with case planning, gives suggestions and always considers my interests a priority in order to achieve the goal I want for each patient. Thanks to the help and excellent disposition of Dr. Torres and Sun Dental Labs I have been able to carry out my first cases successfully. "

"I have been using SunClear® aligners for about 6 months now and am so impressed with the quality of the product and the readily available staff to answer any of my needs. The best part is their online portal that makes it so easy to treatment plan your cases for review and approve. As a provider of other competing clear aligner products for many years the prices have become a large problem and with the low price offered by SunClear®, we were able to lower our Ortho fees to accommodate so many more patients and change their smiles with the same ease and quality as the more expensive companies.
