People have a hard time having their teeth replaced. It could be for a variety of reasons. There are people who simply do not like having work done on their teeth because they find it too invasive. Others are simply afraid of the dentist.
Things have changed since then. Today's dental technology means that traditional methods of getting impressions are no longer as inconvenient and messy.
Dentistry has taken great strides in developing digital impressions. Here are some of the benefits of using digital impressions for dental implants.
The procedure is not too invasive
Plenty of people are scared of going to the dentist. Most of them would prefer to avoid going there and is probably the main reason why they take care of their teeth so well. People are afraid of the tools or the sounds that they make.
Thankfully, computer technology has made the old invasive and inconvenient ways of getting tooth impressions a thing of the past. Advances in computer technology and imaging have made the procedure incredibly easier for both the dentist and the patient.
Getting impressions is no longer as uncomfortable as it used to be. The ease of getting digital impressions has encouraged more people to get dental implants.
Bringing digital efficiency to the world of dentistry
There used to be a time when things were difficult for dentists because impressions were hardware. This meant that impressions had to be physically sent or shipped to other dentists in case it was needed.
This is no longer the case, as digital impressions could be sent through the internet. Leveraging the existing information highway has made the transfer of data and information regarding a patient's dental health simple and easy.
Speeds up the process
Using computers to take impressions of a person's tooth is not only simpler, but also quicker. In fact, some dental operations are completed within a day. This makes life a lot better for the patient who would prefer to complete the operation in one visit.
Accuracy is amazing
Computer technology captures the images of teeth
eth with tremendous accuracy. The data it captures is so accurate that dentists can now make better fitting restorations than they used to. The accuracy also means that dentists are less likely to make mistakes.Easy storage
Digital data is easy to store. Using computer technology for digital impressions means that dentists no longer have to store physical files. This saves space, promotes a paper-free working environment, and basically sets a system for efficient record keeping.
Eco-friendly
Digital data does not produce as much waste as paper. All the information that a dentist gathers on their patients is kept on a digital hard drive. In the old days, getting rid of files meant disposing loads of paper. The paper would eventually end up polluting the environment.
