Constantly advancing Technology gives us better ways to treat and repair our teeth. New dental methods should be quicker, more effective and less uncomfortable than older methods. Sometimes the new approaches are simply more convenient.
Some possible new technology and practices after the year 2020 include.
Online convenience – It is now quite common to book appointments online, and get appointments in minimal time for emergency dental treatments. No more waiting with a toothache, we can get an appointment almost immediately.
Patient Information on Record – Patients will no longer have to fill out medical history forms, at least no more than once, when they have a procedure. Easy to access databases give dentist up to date information.
Emotional Dentistry – Patients will be able to see accurate computer depictions of how their dental procedures will turn out. Often they will have some choice for cosmetic procedures. This give them a goal to commit to. Having patient involvement like this prevent dentistry from becoming a bland technical practice.
3D Printing – Crowns and implants can be 3D printed to fit the individual’s mouth. This is already a growing practice in dental labs, but now the printing can be done int he dental office, so there is no need to send away for the replacement teeth.
The 3D printing equipment is expensive, but works out cheaper for the practice in the long run.
Laser Treatments – Laser technology has found an increasing range of applications since lasers became commonplace in the mid 1980s. Dentists are looking at using lasers for restoring gum-lines, removing lesions, and performing root canal work. These laser procedures are reasonably quick and very effective, killing bacteria as they work. They are also far less painful that traditional surgery, so there is often no need for anesthetic. This is great for patients who react badly to anesthetics.
Other types of dental lasers can be used for teeth whitening.
Natural products – Toothpastes and mouthwashes that use natural products to fight bacteria should become commonplace. These tend to be healthier, with no side-effects. and they are better for the environment.
