Bringing Your Practice to the Next Level
However, if you really want your dental practice to reflect today’s technology, and ensure your patients are receiving high-quality care, we also recommend adding:
- 1. CBCT: Having a Cone Beam CT (CBCT) in the dental practice enhances diagnostic accuracy by providing detailed 3D images of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures, which aids in more precise treatment planning and improved patient outcomes.
- 2. Dental Mill: Having a mill in the dental practice enables the in-house creation of high-quality dental restorations, such as crowns and bridges, with increased precision and reduced turnaround time for enhanced patient satisfaction.
- 3. 3D Printer: A 3D printer in the dental practice allows for the rapid and precise production of custom dental appliances, such as aligners and models, enhancing treatment efficiency and personalization.
- 4. Facial Scanner: A facial scanner in the dental practice provides detailed 3D images of a patient’s facial structure, facilitating more accurate orthodontic and prosthetic planning for improved aesthetic and functional outcomes.
