There are always new techniques and innovations appearing that promise to revolutionize dentistry. To stay on top of the latest trends, it is essential to be aware of the latest developments, be aware of how they can be used in your practice and be prepared to adapt and grow with them.
A number of these advances significantly improve the outcomes of dental treatment and overall patient experience. Digital X-rays, for example, reduce radiation exposure to patients by replacing traditional film with sensors that can display results immediately on an LCD monitor. This technology allows for faster diagnosis and more efficient, allowing dentists to treat problems more efficiently and quickly.
Other advances in dental technology have reduced the amount of time and effort required to finish a treatment. Intraoral scanners, like remove the need to take messy dental impressions. They scan the teeth and create a digital model which can be used to design custom-fitted dental restorations. This technology reduces time and can provide comfort to patients. It is also a way to ensure that dental veneers and crowns fit correctly.
Dental technology has improved the efficiency of treatment which allows patients to select from a broader range of options for treating or preventing dental cavity. Instead of silver amalgam fillings that contain mercury, ceramic or tooth-colored composite resins are a more secure, more aesthetically pleasing alternative.
Environmental sustainability is another important benefit of dental technology. Dental technologies such as digital X rays and intraoral cameras make use of less harmful materials and chemicals than their predecessors. This helps to reduce the impact of our planet.
