In our expanding world, the growth of the industry seems to continuously be going through an upgrade or an innovation of some sort to make the world of dentistry more accessible, easier, and more affordable than ever before.

What problems are being solved with the future of dentistry? With a particular focus on oral care services and disease prevalence, the demand for a decline in chronic dental conditions has increased due to ever-present, harmful lifestyle choices like alcohol, tobacco, stress, and poor oral hygiene practices.

However, in order to keep up and stay relevant with this increase in demand and the world around them, the dental industry has stepped up its game with innovations like dental imaging, 3D printing, and dental CAD-CAM systems—helping bring the best of tomorrow’s dental services to patients today.

The Unique Advancements in the Industry

In order to help improve today and tomorrow’s dental care, there are different advancements in the industry that are popping up on an almost daily basis to continue improving healthcare.

Here are a few of the unique advancements happening in the dental industry:

1. Dental Imaging: As the increase in demand rises for dental imaging due to periodontal disease, old age, and other dental issues, the need for the technology to get better and better also increases.

The latest and the most advanced imagery in the industry has been needed to help keep up with the rising number of procedures. Also, especially with virtual dentistry and teledentistry becoming more and more prevalent, the growth of the dental imaging market worldwide has also increased in order to strengthen that connection between patient and dentist.

Dental imaging is made possible with an intra-oral camera. Many patients feel uncomfortable opening their mouths during a dental assessment. But this common complaint is resolved using an intra-oral camera, allowing the dentist to assess the oral cavity using a camera-equipped dental mirror. This device allows the dentist to see the camera-taken images on a screen.

2. Dental 3D Printing: Through the advanced and evolved use of 3D Printing technology, the dentistry industry has adopted this service for clinical purposes.

This sort of printing in the dentistry industry has given professionals the ability to create customized medical devices to fit each patient and their specialized shapes, structures, and channels.

More specifically, 3D Printing technology has been adopted by dental practitioners through the use of customized dental implants. This makes it very easy to use, see the patient’s specific jaw and teeth, and have a very accurate model to refer to. These are helpful for dental procedures and helps improve the implant’s comfort and fit while in the mouth.

3. Dental CAD-CAM: This sort of technology, also known as computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer-aided design (CAD), are being used more and more every day in the dental industry.

Designed with 3D customized images, it enables the dentist to be able to fix partial dentures and crowns and even work on mouth reconstruction or inlays with restorations—all within one appointment!

In addition, CAD-CAM technology is essential in dental implant planning. Computer-aided implant surgery improves the quality of dental surgical procedures, promoting proper dental implant bed preparation and placement via 3D assessment and using navigation systems. Dental implant specialists can optimize implant positioning using CAD-CAM-assisted surgical guides. Learn more about dental implants at DaVinci Smiles – Dental Implants. 

4. Teledentistry

Aside from dental imaging, 3D printing, and CAD-CAM technology, teledentistry is advancing. With this innovation, people with disabilities and special needs, such as older people, could find consulting a dentist more convenient and accessible. And since consultations can be done online, this can save them time and effort visiting a physical clinic for their dental concerns.

In teledentistry, the dentist talks with the patient via a video-chatting software application, but the dentist recommends an in-clinic visit as necessary for proper treatment. Now more than ever, teledentistry apps have more robust features, such as dental health trackers and appointment features.

With the emerging AI technology, teledentistry will continue to advance to help more people attain good dental health.

The Future of the Dental Industry

As technology and innovation in the dentistry industry have become more and more evolved to keep up with the modern world around them, offices also have had to adopt newer, unique procedures being used on a daily basis.

As the industry becomes more and more up-to-date with technology, the lives of both the dentists and patients alike are improving.

The goal at any dentist’s office is to help improve the oral health of a patient. However, if there are ways in which the office can also improve when it comes to comfort and effectiveness, this is always a plus!

We hope this article has helped introduce you to a few of the ways that dental technology is being fast-forwarded into the future of innovation.
