Let’s Talk Digital Impressions

Digital dentistry made easy!

Dentists and patients alike are looking for solutions that will perform restoration treatments quickly and efficiency. Digital scanning systems are revolutionising how restorative dentistry is performed and dental professionals who have integrated such systems are finding they can condense patient appointments, whilst increasing patients comfort and delivering overall better dental treatment.

Digital impression scanners make restorative dentistry quicker and easier by utilising the latest digital imaging capture technology that gives you the freedom to scan at multiple workstations. And, of course its powder free. This eliminates the need for traditional impression materials making the procedure far more comfortable and easier for both patient and dentist.

Once in digital format, the dentist can choose to make immediate adjustments to the preparation or send a file off to a laboratory to be designed and milled. The precision of digital scanning ensure ease in assessment and design of restorations either in office, or in a laboratory. This in turn eradicates need for multiple appointments for the patient.

Traditional dental tray impressions are often deemed defective when they reach the laboratory and need sending back for a repeat impression to be taken. Aside from impression trays creating great discomfort for patients, the unnecessary steps in the restoration process require patients to take time out of their busy schedules. As patients we become more aware of digital solutions in dentistry and seek clinics offering same day restorations.

If you are looking to offer same day restorative treatments, Planmeca PlanFIT open CAD/CAM system offers fully integrated workflow from scanning to designing and manufacturing.  Contact our team today to learn more sales@dbdental.co.uk / 01484 401015.

Who wouldn’t want to have a scan rather than an impression, who wouldn’t want to send this straight to the lab online.
