DIGITAL DENTISTRY LEARNING HUB

For years, dentists interested in same-day ceramic restorations have largely relied on one manufacturing method: chairside milling.

Custom night guards have become one of the most common restorative and preventive appliances produced in modern dental practices. Whether treating bruxism, protecting restorative work, or helping patients manage the effects of clenching and grinding, night guards remain a valuable service that benefits both patients and practices.

When dental practices evaluate new technology, one question almost always comes first:

Not long ago, advanced digital dental design was largely the domain of large laboratories with dedicated CAD technicians and specialized software teams. Today, however, artificial intelligence is making many of those same capabilities accessible to private practices of every size.

How I Use the SprintRay Midas to Produce a Screw-Retained Provisional Chairside

One of the things I enjoy most about digital dentistry is seeing how quickly technology has simplified workflows that used to require multiple appointments, outside laboratories, and days—or even weeks—of waiting.

What I Tell Doctors When They Say, "I Don't Have Time for Same-Day Dentistry"

If I had to pick the biggest objection I hear when talking about chairside milling or same-day dentistry, it probably wouldn't be cost.

When people hear "artificial intelligence in dentistry," they often think about advanced diagnostics, treatment planning, or complex surgical workflows.

All-On-X dental implant procedures have revolutionized full-arch tooth replacement, offering patients a permanent and functional solution for complete edentulism or failing dentition. These procedures, often referred to as full-arch fixed implant-supported restorations, require a combination of advanced technologies to ensure precision, predictability, and optimal patient outcomes.
