Like almost any other field, dentistry has largely gone digital. The tools available allow our dentists at Clínica Dental Champsaur to get a better idea of your oral health and needs. Optimizing the field of dentistry allows people to get the best possible care for their teeth and gums.
The dental industry has changed over the years and many new digital or computer assisted tools are being implemented at Clínica Dental Champsaur to replace traditional diagnostic and restorative methods. More advanced dental technologies lead to higher quality treatments and results. Digital dentistry is the future of dentistry and its benefits serve both our patients and our staff.
At Clínica Dental Champsaur, we invest in technology to ensure that our patients receive the best care possible. If you are in need of a restorative treatment like a crown or bridge, or if you are making cosmetic improvements to your smile with veneers.
The Advantages of Digital Dentistry in Panama range from digital x-rays to computer aided design and manufacturing restorations, digital dentistry uses imaging technology to provide the following dental benefits:
Advantages of Digital Dentistry in Panama
• Precision: Laser technology allows our dentists to create an image of your tooth to reconstruct with unprecedented accuracy
• Faster: Instead of waiting days for an off-site manufacturer to create your restoration, we can have a new crown, veneer, bridge, or inlay ready in a matter of hours
• Greater Aesthetics: Digital design allows for more natural contours and colour that match your other teeth for a more beautiful and natural appearance
• More Natural: Using the most advanced metal-free materials, digital precision and natural design, your restorations will match existing teeth to provide a natural bite and smile
• Increased Comfort: Those large, gooey impression trays are history, as the digital scanners offer a much more comfortable and accurate dental process
• Better and safer diagnosis of oral diseases/problems: Intraoral cameras can easily show the interior of the mouth and produce images of teeth and gum structures.
• Digital X-rays can also be taken inside the mouth, producing high resolution images and 80-90% less radiation compared to traditional dental x-rays. Both technologies capture images and store them electronically
• More accurate and easier to access patient records: Historically, dentists have used paper charts and ledgers to keep patient records. Electronic dental records display all basic information of the patient and their relevant medical/dental history.
• Digital records allow for a more concise storage of patient information and minimizes the use of paper and saves space. By adopting digital recordkeeping, financial records can also be stored electronically and more easily transmitted to insurance companies for claims
• Better communication between dental labs and other medical providers: Digital scans can also be shared with authorized providers across multiple health care settings for professional use.
• Improving efficiency during dental appointments: Since all patient records are organized digitally, dental staff can review past dental history and follow up with previous treatment plans more easily. During and after the appointment, dentists can efficiently note the description of treatments provided, materials and drugs used, and the outcome of the treatment. All notes can be electronically shared to specialists as needed.
Additionally, the images can be viewed immediately, and we can go over these images with patients so they have a better understanding of their oral health and how different treatments can be beneficial. These technologies are essential, preventative, and diagnostic tools that provide great details on periodontal disease, cavities, and chipped or broken teeth.
