How Fast Are Digital Dentistry Procedures?

Digital dentistry has revolutionized dental care by significantly reducing the time required for various procedures. At Sho Dental Laboratory, we embrace digital tools that streamline the treatment process for quicker results.
Faster Diagnostics and Treatment Planning
One of the key advantages of digital dentistry is the speed at which diagnostics and treatment planning can be completed. Traditional methods, such as physical impressions, often require multiple appointments to complete. With digital impressions, however, the process is streamlined—scanning your teeth and gums takes only a few minutes, and the resulting 3D images are immediately available for analysis.
This faster data processing allows dentists and Sho Dental Laboratory to quickly design and plan the appropriate treatment. Whether it's designing crowns, bridges, or implants, the speed of digital technology reduces the overall time needed to begin treatment. Moreover, because digital impressions and designs are more accurate, there is less chance of having to redo work, further speeding up the process.
Quicker Production of Restorations
The integration of CAD/CAM technology in digital dentistry has significantly accelerated the manufacturing of dental restorations. Once a digital impression is taken, it is transmitted directly to Sho Dental Laboratory, where the design and production of crowns, veneers, or implants can begin almost immediately. Using CAD (computer-aided design) software, restorations are designed to match the exact contours of your teeth, and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) technology then fabricates them with precision.
This process can be completed in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods, reducing the need for multiple visits and long waiting periods. As a result, patients can enjoy their new, custom restorations much faster, ensuring a more efficient and satisfactory dental experience.
