The need to create new methods which are more effective and comfortable for the patient when it comes to mouth reconstruction, cosmetic dentistry as well as general oral care has triggered several changes in the technology used during dental procedures, such changes have made dentists more efficient and provided better results which can be realized within a shorter amount of time. Those who do not visit their dentist in a regular basis will not be able to tell the differences between the procedures done 10 to 20 years ago compared to the ones done today.

When it comes to cosmetic and general dentistry and technologies are being developed in order to create products or developed techniques which will help prevent, diagnose or treat conditions and diseases at an early stage in a more effective way. What this basically means for the patient is that their procedures will be a lot less painful, more targeted and the results will be tangible within a relative amount of time.

Let's take a look at two of the technologies which are used today by cosmetic and general dentist:

CEREC:

This revolutionary system ...
... allows a dentist to create dental Veneers, porcelain fillings as well as crowns within just one visit. The modeling system which is managed by a computer which renders images in 3-D is able to provide the exact dimensions for each and every piece that needs to be manufactured and put in place by the dentist, most of these structures can be fabricated with an incredible accuracy within just 20 minutes.

Air-Abrasion:

This technology has been developed as an alternative to the much feared dental drill, this system is used to preserve the tooth structure as well as treating small cavities without the need of using novocaine. The system is also very precise and allows the removal of damaged parts by using a blast of air and aluminum oxide.

There are many more techniques and technologies which are used in restorative procedures, general as well as cosmetic dentistry, and as you can see they are designed to provide a higher degree of comfort to the patient and make the entire process more effective.
