SMART DEVICES AND 3D PRINTING ARE REVOLUTIONIZING DENTISTRY

Derek Seymour • October 22, 2019

Smart devices and 3D printing are likely to play an important role in improving dental practice, and they’re likely to become increasingly important in the future. Not only do these technologies play a role when it comes to dental care that’s used in offices, but they’re also beginning to play an important role in at-home dental devices, such as electric toothbrushes.

SMART TECHNOLOGY IS REVOLUTIONIZING THE DENTAL FIELD

Digitized dental x-rays make it possible to create three-dimensional images of a patient’s teeth, which can improve the overall standard of dental care that’s offered at many dental practices. Not only can digital dental x-rays provide an exceptional view of the patient’s teeth, but they can also allow dentists to examine the bone that’s underneath the teeth. Furthermore, smart x-ray machines can quickly upload data to devices that allow dentists to create exceptionally precise caps, crowns, and other dental devices, including various forms of orthodontia.

3D PRINTING IS BEING USED TO MAKE TOOLS IN DENTISTRY

These devices are able to quickly turn a digital rendition of a crown or cap into a physical product, which can make these products much more affordable for patients. In addition, 3D printers are being utilized to create dentures and orthodontic devices, which enables these products to be precisely fitted for a patient’s mouth. Not only that, but 3D printers make it possible for dental devices to be created more quickly.

3D PRINTERS CAN MAKE PRODUCTS OUT OF MULTIPLE KINDS OF MATERIAL

3D printers can be used to create products that are made out of composite resins and even metals that are commonly used in dentistry to create crowns, caps, and other dental products. Furthermore, 3D printers can be used to create dental tools with an exceptional level of precision as well, and the precise nature of 3D printing allows dentists to create thinner veneers for patients.

ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY WILL ONLY FURTHER IN DENTISTRY

High-tech dental products, such as smart x-ray machines and 3D printing, will become available to dentists for lower prices and become far more sophisticated. Some of the advances in smart dental equipment that will happen in the future could be beyond anything that could be anticipated today, which means that you will have an improving dental practice over time.
