Digital dentistry is the better option by far due to various advantages.
- More patient-friendly. Ensures their comfort throughout the entire process as it’s easier and faster to conduct.
- Digital impressions are conducted using an Intra-Oral scanner, which contains a camera used to take photos and videos. These make it possible for the dentist to treat their patient with precision.
- Digital dentistry is far more accurate and comfortable for the patient and effectively improves the workflow of the dentist, decreasing the patient seating time and thus enhances turnaround time.
Analogue impressions have several disadvantages:
- They involve a dental workflow that makes use of elastic impression materials that could become difficult and uncomfortable for the patient.
- Impressions may need to be taken several times to get it right, and even then, the dentist is not guaranteed to have an accurate fit resulting in patient comebacks.
- The dentist will have to store correctly and then have it couriered to the dental lab – which means more time and expense.
Although many dentists have used traditional analogue impressions all over the world, digital impressions are the way of the future, and more and more forward-thinking dentists are going digital.
