Frequently Asked Questions About Digital Dentistry
What digital dentistry options do you have?
Digital dentistry brings modern technology to your dental care, making it more efficient and comfortable. Here are some user-friendly options that make your dental experience better:
Digital Impressions
Digital impressions use a painless, quick scanner to capture detailed images of your teeth. It’s like taking a digital selfie of your smile. With this technology, Dr. Sandhu can make precise, digital scans of your teeth allowing for a quicker, more comfortable, and interactive analysis.
CAD/CAM Technology
Imagine custom-designed dental crowns, bridges, and veneers. CAD (Computer-Aided Design) lets your dentist digitally create the perfect restoration, and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) brings it to life with precision. We will precisely look into your tooth requirements.
What is a digital impression?
Instead of the traditional trays with putty to make molds of your teeth, we use an iTero™ intraoral dental scanner. This technology creates precise 3D digital impressions of teeth, gums, and bite structure in minutes by simply moving a hand-held device around in your mouth. This technology results in higher accuracy, better treatment plans, and an overall better patient experience.
What is CAD/CAM Technology?
CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology in dentistry uses advanced digital tools to design and create precise dental restorations. After a digital scan of your teeth is taken, specialized software designs restorations such as crowns, veneers, inlays, or onlays, which are then milled from high-quality ceramic materials. This streamlined process improves accuracy, reduces the need for traditional impressions, and often allows for faster, more comfortable treatment.
