How We Use Technology to Boost Your Smile
Care and Innovation from our Christchurch Dentists
We live in adigital age where innovations and advances in technology have made our livesand our ability to work, more efficient and productive. Dentistry, like allmedical fields, has embraced these advances to improve the procedures,treatments and the results that we provide for our patients.
Here at Duxton Dental clinic Christchurch, we constantly review the technologiesthat we have available to us, so we can continue to deliver quality dental care to our patients and provide optimum oral health and smilesuccess. While we are passionate about the latest dentistry technology that weuse, we appreciate that you may not be as aware of how these advances canbenefit you.
Here are some ofthe ways that technology has transformed the dental services Christchurch patients can access.
Saves your time and money
From your firstvisit to Duxton Dental as a new patient, through to your regularpreventative and treatment appointments, dental technology is used to doeverything faster, so that the amount of time you spend in the chair is shorter.There is no need for multiple impressions to be made, by using our innovative 3Shape Trios Digital Scanner, we can scan once to get the information that weneed to devise the dental plan that you need.
100% accurate
With traditionaldentistry techniques the door is open for errors to occur; patientsaccidentally moving during an x-ray, or a quality failure in the impressionmaterial, can mean that scans or messy molds need to be repeated. With ourdigitised technology, our programs correct any anomalies to provide a precise high-resolutionrepresentation of your mouth allowing a quick and accurate diagnosis and tailoreddental care treatment plan to achievethe best results.
Digital patient files
Regular scanning of ourpatients’ mouths enables us to easily monitor the changes to their teeth andoral cavity. This means that we can track not only your oral health, but also youroverall
general health ,as the two are intrinsically linked. Whether it’s to see the movement of teethduring Invisalign orthodontictreatment, or for early cavity detection, being able to easilyaccess our patient’s dental history is central to providing our patients withsuperior dental health care. Plus, asour patient, you’ll be able to see howyour treatment is progressing for yourself, you don’t just have to take ourword for it!
Responsive dentistry
There are occasions when some of our Christchurch Dental clinic patients need an emergency appointment. Reasons are varied,but technology allows us to ensure that many of our patients achieve resolution same day – there’s no temporary fix needed. For example, should you need a replacement crown, we have the Sirona inLab MCXL onsite, which means our dental laboratory can make a replacement immediately without a painful wait for restoration. The video above shows the MCXL milling unit milling a crown in slow motion.
At Duxton Dental, our highly skilled team use the latest technologies to make your dental clinic experience a positive and successful one.
