The improvements in dental technology have taken a massive leap forward in the last few years. We’ve used digital dentistry in the practice since it opened over 12 years ago. This is just one of the reasons our Chelsea cosmetic dentistry service is so popular.
One example of dental technology that we use in our services is intraoral scanning. An intraoral scanner is a device that records and displays a 3D image of a patient’s teeth. We no longer take impressions/moulds of the teeth with the usual gunky material!
Patients can then view a digital image of their teeth on a screen. This makes it much easier to explain to patients what treatment they need to have done or highlight any problems.
We’ve found that using technology like this makes patients feel much more comfortable and makes many dental processes quicker and more accurate.
