Digital Dentistry
An exciting new digital technological revolution is here. The old analog process is giving way to a highly sophisticated digital one that is changing dentistry — great news for both patients and dental professionals. Before the introduction of a fully digital implant workflow, both patients and doctors faced a time-consuming, unfriendly, and costly process that began with a physical impression, prone to errors and uncomfortable to take.

A new dental technology
Precise, fast digital scanning, instead of physically fabricating the impression, and the real-time fabrication of essential prosthetic components — such as custom crown restorations — is a game changer. With the introduction of fast digital technologies, a significant part of the implant workflow can now be cut in half.
Intraoral scanners: the benefits of digital scanning
Impressions can now be captured more precisely, faster, and more comfortably, eliminating the old physical impression process.
- Easier, faster scanning, thanks to artificial intelligence that removes unnecessary soft tissue as we scan
- Patient comfort
- 5-micron scanning precision
- Goes beyond scanning — enables preventive care through cavity diagnosis and monitoring
- High-quality digital impression in realistic colors, with shade measurement
- Seamless integration of scanning, planning, and design with 3D printers
- A model-free digital workflow for immediate implant placement and restoration
- Increased productivity by replacing tedious manual tasks
- Exceeds patient expectations and satisfaction
The new digital implant workflow
The workflow begins with a precise, fast scan that requires little or no patient preparation; the scanner uses artificial intelligence, is statistically more accurate than conventional impressions, and can reproduce dynamic occlusion and realistic colors. The data is then imported into CAD software, where 3D modeling and manipulation happen in real time, and the restorations are modeled, positioned, and finalized. Finally, the printed component is “finished” — washing, drying, post-curing, and touch-ups — after which the replacement tooth can be fixed intraorally.
