Dental technology has introduced innovative advancements over the last few years, making dental appointments quicker and much more thorough. Some of the laborious tasks of dentistry have been simplified and the process for several of these duties has proven more efficient.
Technology has already altered our everyday lives at home and in the workplace, making it only a matter of time until modern developments changed how patients perceived a routine dental appointment. Here are the pieces of technology we have in our office.
Introduced in 1987, nearly 90 years after traditional x-rays came to fruition, digital radiography combined the power of computer technology with electric sensors and tiny bursts of radiation, which is far less radiation than traditional x-rays. Rather than printing the results on film, images form almost as soon as the sensors are placed in our mouths, projecting on a computer screen. Digital x-ray technology does demand additional training for dentists, though the majority of practitioners are adamant that the advantages are worth the commitment. Today, a lot of dental offices only offer patients digital x-rays because, in multiple ways, it is the superior option to traditional radiography.
About the same size as a marker, intraoral cameras are digital imaging tools used to create high-resolution images of your teeth, gums, and other hard-to-reach places in your mouth. Intraoral cameras help dental professionals detect dental issues, such as tooth decay, periodontal disease, and oral cancer. Other great benefits include:
Digital dentistry has advanced significantly with the integration of Clear Correct Clear Aligners and the 3Shape Intraoral Trios Scanner. This cutting-edge scanner is employed to generate a precise digital impression of a tooth's anatomy and the three-dimensional positioning of dental implants. Information is seamlessly stored electronically, eliminating the need for patients to endure traditional impressions with their unpleasant-tasting materials, cumbersome trays, and potential gagging effects.
Currently, only about five percent of dentists worldwide utilize intraoral scanning. However, with the capability to replicate an entire mouth in less than two minutes, this percentage is expected to grow steadily over time. In comparison, traditional "analog" methods of taking dental impressions simply cannot match the efficiency of the digital alternative.
The digital imaging capabilities of the 3Shape Intraoral Trios Scanner are nearly flawless, making it an incredibly accurate tool for crafting dental implants, crowns, and orthodontic aligner trays. As an added endorsement, the scanner also doubles as a camera and operates at remarkable speeds, further enhancing its versatility and utility in modern dentistry.
We understand that staying inside can cause air to become dense. As more people filter through an area, it is common that the air quality may lack in cleanliness. However, we have an air-filtration system, commonly known as Surgically Clean Air. It is an air cleaning process that has a six-step filtration which helps remove any harmful bacteria in the surrounding area. Our patient's health is of the utmost importance to us, which is why we have implemented this system in our office.
