Hello! How are you doing today reader? We have a very interesting blog for you today. No, the subject of our blog today is not any dental or oral problem. It is not even about what you need to do or should do to take care of your teeth and gums. Instead, we bring to you, all that you can know about Ensure Dental Care’s latest technological acquisition the CEREC – Primescan!
CEREC – Primescan is a technological wonder in the field of dentistry and now Ensure Dental Care your Saginaw Tx Dentist has bought one just for you. Now you may be wondering what it is and how is it going to be useful to you so let us not wait any longer. Let us begin.
What is CEREC – Primescan?
CEREC – Primescan in simple words is the latest digital oral scanner in the market. It uses a digital camera to capture 3D digital images inside the mouth of a patient. It is an improved version of its previous avatars. It is more advanced, quicker, easier and most importantly very accurate in capturing these images.
CEREC stands for Chairside economical restoration of esthetic ceramics. It uses the CAD/CAM technology to make impressions of the teeth and generate precise restorations. The CEREC software now uses the artificial intelligence while making impressions so this means the software is learning while it is working to make sure it delivers a better performance every time it is used.
The scanner can now access hard to reach areas and also view larger areas in the mouth in lesser sweeps of the scanner. It can capture and consolidate up to 50000 images per second and process the same equally quickly. It requires very few clicks to create a finished restoration with CEREC – Primescan.
How will CEREC – Primescan benefit me the patient?
Have you even visited your dentist for a dental impression whether to make a filling or an implant? The dentist makes you bite down on a tray full of gooey stuff until it takes the shape of your teeth and you have to keep holding it with your mouth tightly shut around it till the gooey sticky stuff hardens. Well not anymore. With CEREC – Primescan you just need to keep your mouth open while the dentist scans the teeth or the complete arch of the teeth in a jiffy. The dentist will use a small handheld camera which will be used to scan your mouth and he/she will have your teeth impressions just like that.
This means the dentists can now make fillings, crowns, veneers, implants and other restorations more accurately and in a much lesser time. What it means to you as a patient is that you don’t have to visit the dentist’s office multiple times. Depending on your issue there is a chance that your restoration work will be done in a single visit. And we all know time saved is money saved.
This amazing technology can be used to make better fitting aligners and night guards too. The CEREC – Primescan is also extremely useful in better and quicker diagnosis of –
- TMJ Pains
- Sleep Apnea
- Cavities and decay in teeth
- Fractures, cracks and chipping in tooth
If we were to list down the benefits in simple words for you –
- It will save you time. You don’t need to visit multiple times. You can get accurate and more fitting, permanent restorations in a single visit.
- It will give you a pleasant dental experience. No more gagging reflex or anxiety while visiting the dentist.
- The scans are quick and minimally invasive making them more hygienic and safer.
- Because the images are captured digitally there is little chance of ill-fitting restorations. What this means is no more going back to the dentists for follow up appointments for adjustments.
What’s in it for the dentist?
Better quality restorations in less time. Less work and lesser adjustments will save them precious time that they can then use to attend to more patients and or more critical problems. Because there is a possibility to transfer data from CEREC – Primescan to others dental practitioners can now transfer the information about the patient to labs and other 3rd parties who are manufacturing the restorations with a few clicks of the mouse.
Having CEREC – Primescan means they will have less anxious, happier and more satisfied customers at the end of the day. The ultimate end goal for all dental practitioners is to treat the dental problems of their patients and make the whole process as painless, quick and minimally invasive as possible.
