Dental Technologies and Innovations

There are constantly new innovations and technologies appearing that promise to revolutionize dentistry. Staying on top of these trends requires a keen awareness of the current trends, an in-depth understanding of how they can be applied to practice, and a willingness to adapt and evolve continually.

A number of these advances improve the overall experience as well as the outcomes of dental treatment. Digital X-rays, for example can reduce radiation exposure to patients by replacing traditional film with sensors that can instantly display the results on the monitor. This technology makes the diagnosis process more efficient and quicker, allowing dentists to address dental issues faster.

Other advances in dental technology reduce the time and effort needed to complete a treatment. For instance, intraoral scanners can eliminate the need for messy dental impressions by scanning teeth to create a digital map which can be used to make custom-fit dental restorations. This technology can be a time saver and provides comfort to patients. It will also ensure that dental crowns and veneers are fitted properly.

Dental technology has improved treatment efficiency, allowing patients to choose from a wider range of options when it comes to preventing or treating dental cavities. Instead of silver amalgam fillings which contain mercury, ceramics or tooth-colored composite resins are a safer and more pleasing option.

The environment is another major benefit of dental technology. Dental technologies such as digital X-rays, intraoral camera use less harmful materials and chemicals than their predecessors. This helps reduce the impact of our planet.
