Digital Dentistry

Digital dentistry is an application used to perform dental treatments quickly and effectively using traditional methods. Digital dentistry is mostly done with digital instruments used to make your teeth look sharper, with a cleaner texture and to prevent unwanted cavities. Digital dentistry uses medical measurements and results for safe and effective dental treatment. For example, dentists may use digital or film X-rays to take a sample to measure and view your teeth. Also, dentists can use digital micro-excavation to remove stains and bacteria on the surface of your teeth.

Digital dentistry encompasses many digital tools and methods used to prevent infections, prevent cavities, whiten teeth, and design restorations (teeth repair). Dentists can use digital periodontometry technologies to check for gum disease and root hosts. In addition, dentists can use digital teeth scanning technologies to produce dental prescriptions. Dentists may also carefully check your teeth using tooth hardness testing, tooth drawings, or an intraoral camera.

The main advantages of digital dentistry can be listed as effective data collection, safe treatment, easier treatment planning, more precise treatment, comfort and time savings, shortening of recovery times and verification of treatment results. The obvious disadvantages of this technology are the high start-up costs and high equipment and technological personnel requirements for digital dentistry. In short, digital dentistry includes many digital technologies and tools that help dental treatment to take place reliably and effectively.
