How has digital dentistry impacted patients and care?
One of the most important benefits of TRIOS® and intraoral scanners in general, is improving the patient experience. We have all been to the dentist and at one time or another and needed to take an impression. It’s not fun. The ability to offer digital impressions instead has become a strong reason to attend the dentist for some crown work
So patients prefer digital?
Taking digital impressions is more comfortable for patients. It is so much faster to digitally scan a mouth. It goes by so quick and there’s no plastic gooey mess. Dr. Gary Kaye in NYC credited TRIOS® and digital impression-taking as having a huge impact on his patient engagement.
Saying, “Patients see this technology, they are happy to come, and more than that, they are happy to tell their friends about us.”
Are there other advantages for patients?
The accuracy of digital impressions and the resulting crowns means a much better fitting restoration. The accuracy also cuts down on the need for remakes. So patient-visits are quicker and they don’t have to come back for adjustments.
Another interesting benefit when working with 3D digital color impressions is that we now have the patient’s mouth on the big screen and we can show you what is going in tyour mouth.
Digital impressions are an important tool in helping to gain clarity in treatment planning and easier communication with our patients
When you factor in the time savings, in terms of scanning, design and production, digital dentistry is just a more efficient way to work.
