Crafting the Future: Dental Technologies
Technology in Dentistry
As a dentist in Singapore, Skye Dental has witnessed changes in dental technology that have changed the way we deliver oral healthcare. The integration of dental equipment allows our practice to provide a wide range of treatments to our patients.
Digital Imaging and 3D Scanning
Digital imaging has become an integral part of dental care. The implementation of scanning technology allows us to create three-dimensional models of patients’ oral structures. These digital impressions have replaced conventional methods.
Patient-Centred Technological Solutions
Computer-Guided Implant Planning
Computer-guided implant planning impacts the way we approach dental implant procedures. This technology enables our team to create surgical guides. Through careful pre-planning and virtual simulation, we can provide dental implant treatments at our practice.
CAD/CAM Technology
Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has impacted the production of dental restorations. This system allows for the creation of custom-fitted crowns, bridges, and veneers. The process means that patients can receive their restorations quickly, often within a single appointment.
Diagnostic Tools
Contemporary diagnostic equipment enables us to detect potential issues before they develop into more serious concerns. Our practice utilises various tools, including:
- Digital X-ray systems
- Intraoral cameras
- Periodontal screening devices
- Cavity detection systems
Environmental Considerations
As we embrace new technologies, we remain mindful of our environmental responsibility. Modern dental technology often contributes to reduced waste and more sustainable practices. Digital systems have significantly decreased our reliance on physical materials, whilst maintaining the standards of care.
Looking Ahead
As dental technology develops, we remain committed to adopting technologies that impact patient care and treatment outcomes. Through ongoing investment in dental technology, we strive to provide our patients with contemporary dental treatments.
