Technology is changing the world around us and that includes Dentistry. Today, many dentists find themselves confronted with the daunting task of embracing a more digital workflow. It can be very intimidating to transition from traditional analog techniques to more digital tools but the excitement it brings to your staff and patients makes it worth it.

Session 1: Digital Dentistry Utilization in Today’s Dental Practice: Part 1

 In Part 1 we will discuss how digital scanners are not only for replacing impression material.

By understanding the technology your practice will experience a new level of satisfaction. We will explore why it is important to scan your patients to aide in communication and treatment planning, how your clinical techniques might need to be altered, and what products can assist in this endeavor. The goal of this webinar is to convert any hesitation of adapting this technology into excitement of what digital dentistry can offer to your practice.

• Participants will be able to identify areas of their practice that can utilize digital scanners.
• Participants will understand the key differences between digital and analog impression techniques.
• Understand various tissue management techniques and tools.
• Understand the proper prep design protocol for today’s materials.

In Part 2 we will discuss how to efficiently use digital scanners and proper technique.

By understanding the complete clinical workflow from a dental office and a laboratory perspective, predictability and profitability can be achieved. 

• Participants will understand how to create the idea setup for digital scanning.
• Proper scanning techniques and laboratory communication.
• The factors to consider when entering the digital world
