Digital Dentistry Specialist

What is digital dentistry?

While nothing can replace expert knowledge and compassionate care, digital dentistry is pushing the bounds of what is possible in dentistry and greatly improving patient experiences. While technological advances have long been a part of dentistry, digital dentistry is a dental technology that uses computer-based technology and digital components. These changes allow for streamlined processes, better imaging techniques, and overall, better patient experience and outcomes. Dr. Kim and his team at Madison Dental Loft put these new technologies to use to better care for their patients. 

What new technologies are available at Madison Dental Loft?

Madison Dental Loft is proud to be on the cutting edge of dentistry care. The practice uses a variety of technologies to help them in their work. They use the Primescan digital scanner and Primemill system in order to create digital workflow and provide same day dentistry. For example, crown work that used to take 2 visits can be done in 1 visit to help our patients reduce visits.  This cutting edge not only helps patients by minimizing visits and having more accurate dental work done but also by having digital records that will be saved in our office with our warranty program. 

When it comes to the creation of dental appliances, they have embraced the use of 3D printing techniques, reducing the amount of time needed to create devices while improving accuracy and customizability. In addition, the team uses an advanced CBCT 3D X-ray machine, allowing for a more accurate diagnosis of dental problems and more predictable treatment planning.

We are an iTero office

As an Invisalign provider, we also have iTero, an industry leading intraoral scanner that has a variety of different use cases, notably Invisalign. iTero also has the functionality of helping us send out digital impressions to our labs, reducing the need to take traditional "putty" impressions and cutting down the wait times between sending our physical impressions and receiving them back. By cutting down on those wait times, we can provide better and faster service to our patient

How do these technologies improve care?

When it comes down to it, having a dentist who has extensive experience, expert training, and a compassionate manner is irreplaceable. However, digital dental technologies can improve the standard of care even further. The imaging and printing technologies that the team at Madison Dental Loft use lead to less wait time for their patients, more accurate imaging and appliance creation, more comfortable procedures, and a more efficient and seamless process, sometimes reducing the number of appointments that are necessary for treatment. Dr. Kim and his team are happy to answer any questions that you may have regarding their state-of-the-art equipment.
