What are the Benefits of Digital Restorations?
Precision and Accuracy
Digital technologies allow for extremely precise measurements and fabrication of dental restorations. This precision leads to a better fit, which can improve the longevity of the restoration and the overall health of the surrounding teeth and gums.
Cost-Effective
Although the initial investment in digital dentistry equipment can be high, the reduction in material waste, decreased need for rework, and the ability to perform multiple procedures in-house can lead to huge cost savings.
Speed and Efficiency
Digital restorations can often be designed, fabricated, and placed in a single visit, which is a significant improvement over traditional methods that may require multiple appointments.
Patient Comfort
Digital impressions are generally more comfortable for patients than traditional methods, which often involve physical molds that can be unpleasant and trigger gag reflexes.
Improved Aesthetics
With advanced software, dentists can create restorations that closely match the color, shape, and size of a patient’s natural teeth. This results in a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Increased Case Acceptance
Patients can visualize proposed restorations through digital models, increasing their understanding, trust and acceptance of treatment plans.
