National Dentists’ Day: Building a Futureproof Practice with Digital Dentistry Systems

[ez-toc] National Dentists’ Day on 6th March is the perfect moment to think about how dentistry is changing on a structural level. Digital workflows and AI in dentistry are reshaping diagnostics, treatment planning, lab collaboration, and turnaround times in practices up and down the country. The question isn’t so much if these technologies matter, but how to adopt them in a way that improves clinical outcomes and operational efficiency in the long run. Digital Dentistry For Dental Practices’ Operations Digital dentistry for dental practices is usually framed as a simple productivity upgrade. In reality, though, it marks a much deeper change in how clinical information is accessed, shared, and acted on. Intraoral scanners, CBCT imaging, and CAD/CAM systems have gone a long way in replacing analogue impressions and fragmented workflows with a more unified data-driven way of working. The studies back up the impact of digital dentistry systems. Widespread research has shown that digital impressions can improve marginal fit and reduce remake rates when compared to conventional impressions. This is particularly notable in crown and bridge work. A study found consistently higher levels of accuracy and patient comfort when intraoral scanning is used, especially for short-span restorations. From a practical…
