The Evolution Of Dental Technology: What's New In Your Dental Chair

Book Appointment

Dental practices should always keep up with the latest technological advancements because they benefit both the dentist and the patient. Advances in technology can improve oral health and also set some dental clinics above the pack. Dental medicine is constantly changing, and every dental professional should be prepared.

If dental care is your primary concern, here are a few advancements you should consider looking for at a new dental clinic:

Intraoral Cameras

One of the most exciting advances for our dental practice is the use of intraoral cameras. This allows a dentist or hygienist to take pictures of the interior of a patient's mouth and show them exactly what is going on in their oral cavity. These intraoral scanners give patients a more realistic view of what their dentist sees when they look in the mouth.

With this clear look at a patient's oral cavity, every dentist can make an accurate diagnosis and create the ideal treatment plan just for you.

3D Printing

As the role of digital dentistry starts to evolve, so does the technology used to manufacture dental implants and crowns. Dental procedures are helped by the advent of 3D printing, which can more accurately and quickly produce the bridges, crowns, or implants needed to perfect your smile.

While individual dental professionals may not have this technology in their practice, they can send out their patient records for a perfect print.

Laser Dentistry

One of the growing trends in the dental industry is laser dentistry. As one of the major technological advancements of this decade, it can be used to improve gum health. Lasers can remove diseased or inflamed gum tissue without accidentally disrupting healthy tissue in the surrounding areas. They can also treat tooth decay and lesions.

In the past, some of these treatments might have required some downtime for the patient. Now, you could even return to work or other daily activities shortly after leaving the dental office!

Artificial Intelligence

Like many other industries, dental conditions can be assessed using AI technology. AI can analyze dental records and digital X-rays, among other items, to develop robust treatment plans. It can also predict treatment outcomes, helping your dentist make informed decisions about your care and recommend the perfect next steps for your smile.

Get a jumpstart on declining oral health with artificial intelligence tools. These tools can often pinpoint issues before they even arise based on patterns found in your health records.

Look for Advanced Dental Offices

There are many things to look for in a new dental office, and one is technology. You need dental clinics in Winnipeg that pride themselves on patient safety and improved dental tech that can more accurately diagnose and treat your oral health.

Modern dentistry is a marvel, so allow East Kildonan Dental Group to help you improve your smile today!
