CAD/CAM dentistry: Computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) dentistry is a technology that uses digital images to create and fabricate dental restorations, such as crowns, veneers, and inlays/onlays. CAD/CAM dentistry is more precise and efficient than traditional methods, and it can produce restorations that are more aesthetically pleasing and durable.

Digital radiography: Digital radiography uses X-ray sensors to capture images of the teeth and bones. Digital X-rays are less invasive than traditional X-rays, and they produce images that are more detailed and easier to read.

Teledentistry: Teledentistry is the use of telecommunications technology to provide dental care to patients remotely. Teledentistry can be used for a variety of purposes, such as providing consultations, diagnosing conditions, and monitoring treatment.
-
Intraoral scanners: Intraoral scanners are devices that use lasers to create digital images of the teeth and gums. Intraoral scanners are more accurate and efficient than traditional methods of taking dental impressions, and they can be used to create digital dental models that can be used for a variety of purposes, such as planning treatment and fabricating dental restorations.

3D printing: 3D printing is a technology that can be used to create physical objects from digital models. 3D printing is being used in dentistry to create a variety of products, such as dental models, surgical guides, and orthodontic appliances.
These are just a few examples of the new technology dental services that are available today. As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more innovative and effective dental services emerge in the future.
Here are some of the benefits of new technology dental services:
- More accurate and efficient diagnosis and treatment: New technology dental services can help dentists to diagnose and treat conditions more accurately and efficiently. This can lead to better outcomes for patients.
- More comfortable and convenient dental care: New technology dental services can make dental care more comfortable and convenient for patients. For example, digital radiography is less invasive than traditional X-rays, and intraoral scanners are more comfortable to use than traditional methods of taking dental impressions.
- More personalized dental care: New technology dental services can help dentists to provide more personalized dental care to patients. For example, 3D printing can be used to create dental appliances that are custom-fit to the patient’s individual needs.
- More affordable dental care: New technology dental services can help to make dental care more affordable for patients. For example, CAD/CAM dentistry can reduce the cost of dental restorations, and teledentistry can help to reduce the cost of dental care by eliminating the need for patients to travel to and from the dentist’s office.
