Top 5 Benefits of Digital Dentistry

At SouthEnd Dentistry, we invest in technology to ensure that our patients receive the best care possible. If you are in need of a restorative treatment like a crown or bridge, or if you are making cosmetic improvements to your smile with veneers, our office is equipped with CEREC technology and an iTero digital scanner to ensure that your treatment is accurate and efficient.

This modern technology allows Dr. Picot to get accurate, precise scans of your mouth and create restorations in a single office visit. If you’re considering restorative or cosmetic treatments, here are a few ways you will benefit from our cutting-edge equipment:

1. Restore your smile in just one appointment: CEREC technology is changing restorative dental care by making it possible to create crowns in just minutes. Since CEREC restorations can be made so quickly, there is no need for multiple appointments or temporary crowns. Walk out of our office with a beautiful new smile in one day!
2. CEREC restorations look and feel natural: Not only are CEREC restorations quickly created, they are made to blend in beautifully with your natural smile. CEREC technology provides patients with restorations that match the shape and color of their existing teeth so patients can leave our office feeling confident.
3. Accurate fit and less sensitivity: The accuracy of CEREC restorations means that they are less likely to cause sensitivity than traditional crowns. Most cases of sensitivity after a crown are placed is the result of poor fit or a temporary crown. CEREC technology is precise and accurate and eliminates the need for temporary crowns, so our patients always feel good about their smiles.
4. Avoid messy, uncomfortable impressions with iTero scans: The process of traditional impressions takes time and can often make patients uncomfortable. With iTero digital scans, messy impressions are a thing of the past. They are also much more accurate than traditional molds as they do not need to be sent and manufactured by an outside lab.
5. Digital scans are thorough and accurate: With iTero digital scans, our dentist can quickly identify dental health issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye or even in some traditional x-rays. The images can easily be enlarged and reoriented, which allows for more accurate diagnosis and better treatment plans.
