Meet our modern, digital tools
Digital technology represents the future of dentistry, offering many new and unprecedented opportunities for both dentists and patients. Innovative digital solutions make procedures not only faster, but also extremely accurate and convenient. Modern technological tools such as digital X-rays, CT, IOS intraoral scanning, computer-aided design, manifacturing (CAD/CAM) and 3D printing, milling are taking diagnostic and therapeutic processes to a higher level.
These advances not only reduce treatment times, but also provide patients with increased comfort and professional solutions. The integration of digital technology in dentistry not only increases efficiency, but also contributes to patient satisfaction and makes the dentists’ job easier.

Smile design
Digital smile design is revolutionising dental aesthetics by providing more accurate visualisation, offering many benefits to both dentists and patients. This innovative technology allows dentists to take into account not only the teeth, but also the whole face, lip position and movement during the design process.
Through detailed patient photo documentation and the use of digital models, we can create personalised dental prostheses that perfectly match individual facial features and shape. The result is a natural, harmonious smile that increases the patient’s confidence and satisfaction.
X-rays, CT and IOS
Digital X-ray and CT technology allows us to take three-dimensional images that measure to the nearest millimetre. Whether for implantology or diagnostic planning, these images give an accurate picture of the number of root canals in the tooth, inflammation in the bone, any root fragments that may have been invaded and important anatomical formations. This is of great help in planning and carrying out the implantation.
The impression is also taken in digital format. A small, convenient, two-finger-wide camera is used to scan the oral cavity, which is then imaged in three dimensions. This eliminates the need for an impression scoop, which can cause nausea. The resulting, accurate, 3-dimensional image can be enlarged, repositioned into different views and rearranged by the digital technician in the graphics program to plan the restoration.
Design and production
After the scan, the data is uploaded to the cloud, where the dental technician downloads it and uses CAD/CAM technology to create the prosthesis. First he designs the details in consultation with the doctor using Exocad graphics software. The restorations can be 3D printed or milled from plastic, ceramic or zirconium. This is followed by finishing work such as polishing and painting. Then the finished restoration is handed over.
In many cases, I advise the patient to visit the dental technician in person (sometimes I accompany the patient myself). In my experience, the personal impressions gained during the meeting inspire the dental technician to make a restoration that is in every way suited to the patient’s personality and characteristics, and the patient is reassured to see that all members of our team are working for his or her complete satisfaction.
