Digital Dentistry

Digital dentistry is a system that allows the design and production of procedures performed with traditional methods in dentistry with computer support.

What are the advantages of digital dentistry?

There are many advantages of getting support from computer technology instead of traditional methods in dentistry.

Processing time is considerably shortened. Impression takes place in 3-4 minutes. Since the teeth can be prepared on the same day, the treatment can be completed on the same day.

Measurement and design phases have become more comfortable for patients.

It can be used safely in the patient group with gag reflex and nausea.

The probability of error is reduced.

How is the dental treatment process with digital devices?

In digital dentistry, a computer system called CEREC is used in the measurement, design and production stages. In this system, measurements are taken within minutes with an intraoral scanner. The measurements taken from the prepared tooth are instantly transferred to the computer to which the scanner is connected, and a virtual model is created with the help of a computer program.

The design of the tooth that we want to be prepared is made with a computer program over the created virtual model. The designed tooth is sent to the printer part of the CEREC device. The printer part, on the other hand, obtains this design by scraping it in 3D from ready-made blocks in the color and size chosen by the physician.

Digital dentistry and smile design

Smile design; It is the evaluation of smile aesthetics, which is the result of detailed analyzes of dental aesthetics, which also deals with the relations of teeth, gums, lips with each other.

Intraoral images taken with the scanner of the CEREC system and the profile images of the patients are brought together in the computer environment. In this way, we can transfer the images of our patients to digital media in 3D.

Images transferred to digital media; It allows us to measure, design and make changes on it as we want. We are able to obtain the possible finished state of the teeth in advance by making abrasion, insertion, contact point controls, contour changes in the designed teeth.
