Dental Technology in Cambridge

Technology in the dental industry has taken major strides over the years. New advancements are being introduced each year to make patient care as efficient and comfortable as possible while also reducing waste. Gone are the days of traditional film x-rays and messy dental moulds! At Dentistry on Dundas, we are proud to offer the latest in comprehensive oral exam technologies.

In the past, dental modelling was typically achieved by applying plaster to a patient’s teeth and allowing the plaster to form and solidify around them. This can be extremely uncomfortable for patients and is not as accurate as digital renderings are.

iTero scans often replace these more invasive techniques for 3D modelling of the teeth and mouth, improving patient experiences and making the process more comfortable and straightforward for dentists and patients alike.

The iTero scanner measures and maps out the mouth in detail and in full colour, allowing dentists to see the exact positions and shapes of the teeth and gums. From there, dentists can create comprehensive treatment plans. They can also have treatment options such as dental appliances constructed directly from the data in the scans.

The wand in the iTero system is also much smaller than traditional intraoral scanners, which makes it easier for dentists to take accurate scans of the molars.

The intraoral scanner at Dentistry on Dundas has redefined the process of creating accurate dental impressions, ditching traditional, messy moulds. The mess-free camera offers 360-degree image capturing abilities using nothing more than a simple wand waved over the teeth. This process makes diagnosis, treatment plans, and dental restorations more efficient than ever before, as the digital impressions are instantly available once taken in the dental clinic. We can also use these images to show you exactly what is happening in your mouth and provide you with tips and tricks you can take home for your regular oral hygiene routine.
