What is Digital Dentistry?

Digital dentistry is an approach that involves the use of digital technologies in traditional dentistry practices. This method optimizes dental practices using innovative tools such as digital scanners, 3D printers, CAD/CAM technologies. With digital imaging, the intraoral condition of patients is analyzed in more detail and quickly. More precise measurements are made in areas such as restorative procedures, prosthetics and orthodontic treatments, designs are created on computers and production is started with 3D printers. In this way, patients' treatment processes are shortened and more accurate and personalized solutions are offered.

I believe dentistry needs to high discipline and care. For that reason; we dentists need to best technological equipments. So I watch the news about dentistry technology. And, I’m using the devices which is gives me the best results. I wont confused your mind with every detail of the devices. If you would like to see all of the details about your treatment you can reach M.E. with contact form.

General Steps of All Treatments Applied by M.E:

• I will scan your teeth and we will see all the problems one by one.
• We discuss about treatment plan. In this step i will show you all possible design alternatives on screen with simulation.
• After we choose the plan we will do a mock up. And you can see the design on your mouth. We can apply changes all you would like.
• Finally we are ready to apply the treatment on your mouth. Of course, all treatments, including your coatings that are digitally produced and retouched by my technicians, will fully meet your health and beauty standards.

Digital Dentistry with CAD/CAM:

CAD/CAM is an acronym for computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing. Used for decades in the manufacturing industry to produce precision tools, parts and automobiles, CAD/CAM technology has been increasingly incorporated into dentistry over the past 20 years.

CAD/CAM technology and metal-free materials are used by dentists and dental laboratories to provide patients with milled ceramic crowns, veneers, onlays, inlays and bridges. Dental CAD/CAM also is used to fabricate abutments for dental implants, used to replace missing teeth.

As the materials and technology available for CAD/CAM dentistry have improved over the years, so too have the restorations that patients can receive from this form of digital dentistry. Today’s CAD/CAM restorations are better-fitting, more durable and more natural looking (multi-colored and translucent, similar to natural teeth) than previously machined restorations.

One of the advantages of CAD/CAM technology is that if your dentist has the technology in office, same day dentistry may be a treatment option for you. CAD/CAM dental technologies such as CEREC in-office or the E4D Dentist System can be used to make an inlay, onlay, crown or veneer restoration in a single appointment, while you wait.
