Digital dentistry is the current trend and it offers a multitude of benefits that enhance both the patient’s experience and the efficiency of the dental practices as well. Here are the key advantages/benefits of adopting digital dentistry technologies:

1. Enhanced Accuracy and Precision:

  • Digital Imaging: Provides high-resolution 3D images of teeth, gums, and bone structure, allowing for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. The detailed imaging allows for perfectly gauging the bone levels, any anatomic or vital structures present nearby, any developing pathology, as well the normal physiology of the tooth structures as well gums. At NOVORIS, we use dental periapical (intraoral) x-ray as well as OPG (extraoral) x-ray for diagnosis and treatment planning purposes. At NOVORIS, we also use CBCT 3D x-ray when required for planning purposes to enhance patient treatment outcomes.


  • CAD/CAM Technology: Enables precise design and fabrication of dental restorations (crowns, bridges, veneers) with minimal margin for error.The Exocad software allows for precise shaping, editing and adjusting the crowns as per case requirement with ease all by just a single click of a mouse on a computer. The commands from the soft ware are carried out by lasers guided by robotic arms which are precise and accurate in there work.NOVORIS, uses the best exocad software technology for making your crowns.


  • Intraoral Scanning: Replaces traditional impressions with digital scans, ensuring accurate models for restorations and orthodontic treatments. The use of scanners allows faster impressions with no patient discomfort. The use of traditional impression materials by manual way can be discarded and this leads to a lot of time saving for the dental practices as well as the patients plus increases the accuracy and quality of dental work as well. The use of intraoral scanner opens up possibilities to use of many new better dental materials which last longer in the test of time with the patient’s mouth. At NOVORIS, we use the best intraoral scanner in the world i.e. TRIOS-3 by 3 Shape from Denmark for scanning our patient’s work. It provides with a lot of other features that also help with preoperative diagnosis and treatment planning as well model formation for patient explanation and counselling. 


  • Intraoral camera and Dental Photography: The use of intraoral camera allows for a better patient experience by enhancing the visualization of the dental problems that the patient’s have. Using a camera, chairside only the patient’s can be given a detailed look into their own mouth there by showing high resolution video on the personalized TV screen of the dental problems the have there by improving the dentist-patient communication. The dental photographs also provide the better visualization of the preoperative conditions helping in diagnosis and treatment planning. At NOVORIS, we have the best intraoral camera system and DSLR with Macro Lens Camera system by CANON to help you actually view your problems with your own eyes first before understanding its root cause and its solution.     

2. Improved Patient Experience:


  • Comfortable Procedures: Digital impressions and imaging are less invasive and more comfortable for patients compared to traditional methods.
  • Visualization: Patients can see digital simulations of their treatment outcomes (such as with Digital Smile Design), enhancing their understanding and satisfaction. These simulation softwares can work out your treatment plan using AI interface and give you a look into your treatment journey even before you have under gone any treatment. The simulations provide an after-procedure view with respect to the outcomes gained by the procedure thereby showing your improvement obtained in your smile and oral health after the treatment is done even before you undergo the treatment. At NOVORIS, we use the DSD- Digital Smile Design software from Brazil and DTS- Digital Treatment Simulation software for our patients to plan digitally all our treatments.


  • Faster Treatment Times: Reduced chair time due to efficient workflows with CAD/CAM technology and digital impressions.

3. Comprehensive Treatment Planning:

  • Virtual Surgical Planning: Allows for precise planning of complex procedures like dental implants or orthognathic surgeries, optimizing outcomes. The virtual surgical

planning allows for virtually viewing your jaw bones, planning for the implant size and position, virtually placing the implant and doing the surgery in the computer first before it is done in your mouth and viewing the treatment outcome all well before the actual execution of the treatment happens. At NOVORIS we use Blue Sky Bio software which is the best software available for doing all these virtual plannings.

  • CBCT Imaging: Provides detailed 3D images for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in implantology, endodontics, and orthodontics. These digital CBCT x-rays can be used for making guides and models for your implant surgery to enhance the treatment planning and outcome precision.


4. Improved Communication and Collaboration:

  • Interdisciplinary Coordination: Facilitates seamless communication between dentists, specialists, and dental laboratories, ensuring cohesive treatment plans. Also, the use Cloud based softwares now allow for international tie ups with dental labs to send digital work to the best of the dental labs from around the world and receive with much ease. At NOVORIS, we use SMILECLOUD software for this purpose.


  • Patient Education: Digital tools enable dentists to visually explain diagnoses, treatment options, and expected outcomes to patients, improving informed decision-making.


5. Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness:

  • Reduced Errors: Digital workflows minimize manual errors associated with traditional methods, leading to fewer remakes and adjustments.
  • Streamlined Workflows: CAD/CAM technology automates the design and fabrication process of dental restorations, reducing turnaround times.
  • Long-Term Cost Savings: Despite initial investments, digital dentistry reduces costs associated with material waste, repeated appointments, and treatment failures.


6. Environmental Sustainability:

  • Reduced Material Waste: Digital impressions and CAD/CAM technology minimize the need for disposable materials used in traditional impression techniques.
  • Paperless Records: Digital imaging and electronic health records reduce the use of paper and promote eco-friendly dental practices. The use electronic health records allow for seamless registration process of the patient at the dental practice thereby saving their appointment time for dental consultation with the dentist providing more time for the patient to understand their problems with the dentist. The use of electronic health records also reduces the patient waiting time in the reception area. At NOVORIS, all our health record is electronically stored in a software named KiVi Health. This helps to keep the records of our patients for years without risk of loss of data and we can also share it with our patients with ease providing seamless dentist-patient communication.


7. Access to Remote Care (Tele dentistry):

  • Teleconsultations: Digital platforms enable dentists to provide remote consultations, monitor treatment progress, and offer guidance to patients, improving access to care in remote or underserved areas. NOVORIS provides best teleconsultation services to its patients allowing them to get basic oral care instructions and hygiene measures from the comfort of their own homes.


Conclusion:

Digital dentistry revolutionizes dental care by leveraging advanced technologies to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and patient satisfaction. From precise diagnostics and treatment planning to improved communication and sustainable practices, digital dentistry sets new standards in modern dental healthcare. Embracing digital technologies allows dental practices to deliver superior care, streamline workflows, and achieve optimal clinical outcomes while meeting the evolving expectations of patients in today's digital age. We at NOVORIS are fully digitalized and believe in these benefits of digital dentistry providing our patients with the best dental health care in Ahmedabad.
