How Does Dental Technology Benefit Me?
Dentistry now embraces cutting-edge technology, and patients enjoy a series of benefits as a direct result of the substantial evolution of tools and procedures. Some of the benefits you can enjoy from these technologies include the following:
Precise Diagnosis
Technologies such as 3D imaging and digital X-rays ensure that your dental problems are diagnosed accurately and precisely. Your needs and concerns will not remain unnoticed, and you will not risk losing a tooth that could have been saved.
Reduced Discomfort
If you were previously anxious about your dental appointment, dental technology has come to your rescue. Dental technology has paved the way for less invasive procedures, helping reduce dental anxiety.
Improved Treatment Planning
Dental technology has revolutionized the planning process for dental treatments. For example, dentists can now use technology to create precise impressions of your teeth and mouth, and any treatment plan made using these images guarantees accuracy.
Time Efficiency
Previously, dental procedures could take weeks and even months. You would visit a dentist several times for them to complete a single procedure. Modern technology has made it possible to visit the dentist a little less. For instance, you can now get your dental crowns in a single appointment with CEREC same day crowns.
Improve Patient Education
Modern dental technology empowers patients with a clear understanding of their oral health. Unlike in the past, when you could not visualize your teeth and mouth, digital cameras now provide detailed images. Our dentist can use these images to explain any concerns and involve you directly in the treatment planning process.
Different types of dental technology are differentiated by the solutions they provide for patients. Some of the most common technologies we provide here at Victor Nitu DDS are described below.
See Inside Your Mouth: The Magic of 3D Dental Scans
Digital impressions and 3D imaging have redefined precision in dentistry. Taking an image of your teeth and gums now takes a few minutes, with images that are now clearer and more accurate. You no longer have to go through the painful process of having molds inserted into your mouth to create impressions of your teeth.
3D scanners have also revolutionized dental diagnoses. Dentists can identify hidden signs of gum disease and tooth decay and begin treatment before they get worse. Dentists also have Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), which provides a visual image of your oral anatomy in three dimensions. This particular technology is used to determine structural problems, enhance treatment accuracy, and arrange implant locations.
No More Fear: Gentle Laser Treatments for Healthy Smiles
A lot of dentistry procedures are considered invasive. However, this has really changed in the age of dental technology. Laser dentistry provides precise and less intrusive means of performing conventional dental techniques. For example, dentists no longer need to make cuts and openings in your gums when treating gum disease, identifying cavities, or performing soft tissue surgery. Laser accuracy targets diseased tissue, lessening patient discomfort and speeding up your recovery.
In addition to laser treatments, computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) have changed the way patients receive dental restorations, with some taking just a single day. Dental restorations involve visiting the dentist, having your impressions taken, and waiting a few weeks before your crowns, veneers, and bridges are ready for use.
CAD/CAM technologies include office-based milling equipment, design software, and the ability to take digital impressions. This saves a great deal of time and provides efficient method guarantees, personalization, and a high degree of accuracy. The results from these computer-aided restorations last longer and are more attractive.
Getting Dental Implants? Here Is How Tech Makes It Better
In the past, you only had the option of dentures when you lost your teeth. With the improvements in technology, dental implants are a common solution to lost teeth. They are safer, long-lasting, and more natural-looking, as opposed to dentures that are removable and can easily fall. Modern technology has also made it possible to have dental implants placed immediately after tooth extraction. You no longer need to wait for six months before you can get your implants placed.
Intraoral Cameras
Intraoral cameras have come to the rescue of dental patients, with their high-resolution showing them and their dentists areas of concern by taking precise pictures of the insides of the mouth. Intraoral cameras have enabled patients to get involved in their treatment plan discussions.
Smart Toothbrushes and Apps
Dental technology can help you personalize your home dental care. Some smart toothbrushes use artificial intelligence to evaluate your brushing habits. The evaluation provides a report with tailored advice to improve your brushing habits. Apps are also available now to help you track your oral hygiene practices, while other apps remind you of your dental appointments.
Are There Any Risks of Dental Technology?
Modern technology in dentistry presents minimal to no risks. In fact, you are safer when our dentist incorporates advanced technology into your treatment plans. Not only does dental technology offer cost savings, but older treatment methods were also significantly more expensive. The introduction of technology ensures a higher standard of patient care and efficiency, which contributes to competitive pricing. Additionally, your dental records become digitized, eliminating the need for our dentist to have an assistant manually retrieve your files to review your dental history.
Enhance Your Dental Treatment with Modern Technology
Dental offices using dental technology offer patients more individualized, pleasant, and effective care. Undoubtedly, dental technology can solve many dental problems, from restoration to functional and aesthetic issues, in no time and for a good price.
