In today’s world, clinics across Chester and the UK are revolutionising how you get the dental treatment you require with new digital advancements being introduced. Dentists and their patients benefit from accuracy, speed and greater comfort in treatment and dentistry in Chester and across the nation.

What is Digital Dentistry?

Digital dentistry is the use of computer-based technology to help dentists and dentists assistants in the diagnosis, planning and treatment procedures of dental care. These technologies help to replace old-fashioned processes such as casting teeth and traditional imaging techniques with advanced technologies. These could include 3D imagery, intra-oral scanners, CAD/CAM technology and other AI assisted devices. Some of these technologies include Cone Beam CT (CBCT), Digital Smile Design (DSD) and teledentistry as well as more commonly heard intra-oral scanners and 3D printing.

Intra-oral Scanners

Replace uncomfortable, traditional moulds and dental scans, intra-oral scanners take just minutes to obtain an accurate scan of your mouth and this can be directly forwarded onto labs for creating crowns, veneer or even aligners, speeding up treatment, improving accuracy and increasing comfort levels for the patient.

3D Printing in Dentistry

3D printing allows dental devices and products such as aligners, dentures, and surgical guides, to be produced faster, more accurately and at a greater quality. Many different types of dental applications for 3D printing now exist for dentists.

Digital Imaging

CBCT and other such imaging devices, enable the dentist or orthodontist to look closer at the bones structure of the jaw, the teeth within, the nerves surrounding and the tissue to obtain highly detailed 3D images, perfect for careful and considered treatment and less radiation than conventional dental x-rays.
