Digital Dentistry – Part 1 By: Dr. Nishita Ondhia
How could dentistry be digital? Impossible!! It is a filling, it is a cleaning, it is a root canal.
120% possible!! Digital Dentistry is here and it is progressing at light speed, making leaps and bounds with innovation in our profession!!
As dental health care professional, we are no longer simply agents of repair. Due to the incredible amount of information available with being digital, dentistry is now purpose driven, comprehensive and preventative based. As a bonus, the predictability and precision are on another level; thus, dentistry is more educational and enjoyable for the dentist and the patient. There is a sense of control as one is actually able to see what is diagnosed and proposed. This truly is the best time in history, to be a dentist.
At Bloor West Dental we have 2 iTero digital scanners and are able to have a 3D model of your teeth within 2 minutes … 2 minutes!!
We use these 3D digital models to educate, diagnose and treatment PLAN with photos and AI.
The name of the game, BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND and then REVERSE ENGINEER!
