Digital Dentistry encompasses any digital or computer-based technology that is used to examine, diagnose, and treat the health of your mouth.
There are a number of different Digital dentistry technologies available. They all provide more immediate and detailed information compared to traditional technology.
Our dental records are all electronic which improves all aspects of our patient care
Storage: no storage space required.
Security: We have a compliant managed hosting service.
Access: sharing with other professionals/patients almost instantaneously via electronic transmission or direct access to a storage system.
Readability and Accuracy: standardised typeface, customised template and contemporaneous notes.
We have our online portal available to update your medical history, personal details and managed your own bookings. Accessible around the clock, making it more convenient.
Our radiographs are digital which are instant, better quality, less radiation, less cost and less space is required than conventional radiography. They allow for immediate feedback at your appointment.
Instead of the traditional methods of putty Impressions we have 2 types of intraoral scanners. This type of digital dentistry is vital for us to provide same day dentistry. We use our Cerec Omni Scan to design and make crowns/veneers/ bridges. This enables us to provide you with your new crown/veneer/bridge in one appointment as we make the crown immediately once we have taken the scan. We use the Itero scanner to treatment plan for Invisalign Go teeth straightening. The small intra oral camera is used to take a series of photos that capture a replica of the mouth which allows precise planning and immediate results. Without this we would need to send off the impressions to the lab and this would mean another appointment to see the results.

This is a rotating X-ray machine which provides a three-dimensional view of teeth and the oral anatomy. Additionally, this imaging technique identifies oral conditions which are not detectable by regular X-ray screenings. They can also determine the exact position of teeth and their roots.
Guided Implant surgery is a well-known and proven concept in the surgical treatment. Cases commonly involve complex oral conditions, the need for minimally invasive surgery and aesthetically demanding circumstances.
The combination of CBCT imaging with implant planning software enables our dentists to plan and perform implant surgery accurately, safely and quickly with improved visibility.
We determine the ideal implant position based on a CBCT scan and the software is used to determine the important anatomical structures and plan implant surgeries predictably. This plan can then used to create a surgical template which details implant positioning, angles and depths to ensure procedures go according to plan.
Utilising the workflow outlined above, dental practices have reduced implant failures, lessened repeat scans and improved treatment plan acceptance as patients can see exactly what they’re scans look like.
Without Digital Dentistry in our practice things would take a lot longer and be far less efficient and accurate!
