Digital Dentistry

Digital dentistry is a modern direction that revolutionizes the approach to diagnostics, treatment, and restoration of teeth. It is based on the use of advanced technologies — 3D scanning and digital jaw impressions. Lack of physical contact, the speed of the process, high-quality results — advantages guaranteed for patients. Digital dentistry in Kyiv is now available at the ID Dent clinic. We invite you to experience the comfort and efficiency of modern methods of dental treatment today!

What is a digital impression?

A digital impression is a method of obtaining a mold of the jaw using a special scanner that replaces the traditional plaster impression. Instead of using uncomfortable materials for the mold, the dentist scans the patient’s oral cavity with a special tool that creates an exact digital copy of the tooth structure.

For a long time, dentistry used a rather uncomfortable method of obtaining tooth impressions — using a plaster mass. Contact with impression material provoked nausea for many patients, unpleasant sensations from the need to tightly squeeze teeth and wait for the mass to harden. At the same time, traditional methods did not guarantee precision. With the use of digital technologies, the situation has drastically changed, guaranteeing convenience and comfort in mold removal.

When is a digital impression used?

Digital computer dentistry in Kyiv is used in the following cases:

• Planning and manufacturing of prosthetics. Digital technologies allow dentists to create accurate three-dimensional models of the patient’s oral cavity, facilitating planning and manufacturing of various types of prosthetics, including crowns, bridges, veneers, and orthopedic constructions.
• Tooth restoration. Using a digital impression enables the creation of high-quality restorations that perfectly match natural teeth in color and shape. This includes fillings, veneers, crowns, defect restoration of teeth, and other restoration procedures.
• Manufacturing of cosmetic overlays. Digital technologies allow dentists to create overlays and veneers that improve the appearance of the patient’s smile by correcting the shape, color, and position of teeth.
• Creation of individual orthodontic devices. Digital technologies enable dentists to more accurately diagnose oral cavity diseases and defects and plan optimal treatment for each patient, taking into account individual features and needs.

How is an impression obtained?

Our digital dentistry clinic begins performing a digital impression (mold) by scanning the patient’s oral cavity with a special scanner. The scanner is equipped with high-precision cameras and sensors that capture images of the teeth and surrounding tissues in three-dimensional (3D) format. The collected data is then transmitted to specialized software, which processes and analyzes the information.

The program generates a three-dimensional model of the tooth structure, including each individual tooth, their placement, shape, and size. This model is an exact copy of the patient’s oral cavity and can be rotated and viewed from any angle for a more detailed analysis.

The 3D jaw model is used for planning treatment and dental restorations, manufacturing veneers, crowns, and prosthetics. The dentist at ID Dent clinic can make necessary changes to the model to show the patient the anticipated treatment outcome and discuss the treatment plan.

Advantages of digital dentistry

No impression mass is needed for the digital impression; the dentist simply scans the patient’s oral cavity without any discomfort. The doctor can view the obtained impression in different projections, opening up wide possibilities for dental treatment and restoration.

3D digital dentistry is:

• High accuracy and detail. Digital scanners and modern software guarantee a more precise and detailed image of the tooth structure and the oral cavity, allowing dentists to accurately diagnose dental problems.
• Comfort for patients. Utilizing digital scanners eliminates the need for plaster impressions, making the impression process more comfortable and enjoyable for patients.
• Faster treatment processes. Digital dentistry reduces the time needed for obtaining impressions, manufacturing prosthetics, and restorations, accelerating treatment processes and reducing the number of required dental visits.
• The possibility of more accurate treatment planning. Thanks to the ability to create three-dimensional models of teeth and the oral cavity, dentists can plan treatment more accurately, anticipate outcomes, and offer patients optimal treatment and restoration methods.

More precise, better quality, more convenient, but not more expensive! The price of digital dentistry in our clinic does not exceed the cost of taking impressions by traditional methods.

Advantages of the 3Shape Trios digital scanner

To capture digital dental impressions in the ID Dent medical center, we use the next-generation intraoral scanner — 3Shape Trios. The equipment guarantees quality tooth molds, making up to 3000 2D frames per second and creating a 3D image based on them.

The 3Shape Trios scanner provides:

• Fast and precise scanning of teeth and the oral cavity without loss of quality. This advantage reduces the time required for procedures and ensures high accuracy of the obtained data.
• The ability to scan in various color modes, ensuring a more accurate reproduction of the color and texture of tooth tissue. This is particularly important when manufacturing cosmetic restorations such as veneers or crowns.
• Integration with CAD/CAM systems. 3Shape Trios easily integrates with CAD/CAM systems, allowing the creation of dental constructions such as crowns, bridges, and veneers directly from scanning data without the need for additional processing steps.
• Long-term storage of optical impressions. The 3D model is stored on the server indefinitely and can be used in the future for repeated dental treatments, for instance in case of injury, chips, fractures of teeth.
• Effective treatment planning. The 3Shape Trios scanner is an excellent tool for therapy planning as it allows the assessment of the aesthetic and functional aspects of future restorations.
• Convenience for patients. The use of a digital scanner eliminates the need for plaster impressions, making the mold obtaining process more comfortable and enjoyable for patients. Additionally, scanning occurs without tool contact, reducing discomfort and stress for some patients.

Comfortable, fast, and effective — the 3Shape Trio scanner in our dentistry elevates dental treatment to a higher quality level.

What restorations does 3Shape support?

The 3Shape Trios system supports a wide range of dental restorations, including:

• Ceramic crowns and veneers. Using data obtained from the 3Shape Trios scanner, it is possible to manufacture high-quality ceramic crowns and veneers that perfectly match the patient’s natural teeth in color and shape.
• Bridge structures. The system enables the creation of bridge prostheses used to replace missing teeth and restore chewing function and smile aesthetics.
• Fixed prostheses. 3Shape Trios allows the manufacturing of fixed prostheses such as individual crowns and bridges that are securely attached to the patient’s own teeth or implants, providing comfort and confidence when eating and speaking.
• Restorations on implants. The scanner assists in creating restorations that are securely fixed on implants, recreating the natural appearance and function of teeth.

Thus, due to its multifunctionality and high precision, the 3Shape Trios system is a reliable tool for creating various types of dental restorations for ideal results.
