DIGITAL DENTISTRY LEARNING HUB

For years, same-day dentistry has been positioned primarily as a technology story.

More than six years after COVID-19 disrupted dental practices across the country, dentistry has largely moved beyond the immediate effects of the pandemic.

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

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.

"I’ve spent years helping practices implement digital workflows ranging from CBCT and intraoral scanning to milling and 3D printing. This series is designed to answer the same questions and concerns I hear from doctors every day about same-day dentistry and in-office manufacturing."

As digital dentistry continues to evolve, 3D printing is rapidly becoming one of the most transformative technologies in the modern dental practice. In a recent educational webinar hosted by Trusted Dental Technologies, Dr. David Christensen shared how he incorporates 3D printing into his daily workflow — from simple models and occlusal guards to same-day provisional restorations and full-arch rehabilitation cases.

Digital dentistry is no longer optional—it’s inevitable.

Here at Voxel, we've watched, evaluated, and tested for ourselves the very best in dental tech. Sometimes, major innovations come with lofty promises to doctors - and it's important doctors are aware of the potential upsides but aware of any changes in workflows.

That's why we are so meticulous in our evaluations, so we know when we decide to partner with a manufacturer and sell their products - we can be confident our customers are getting the very best.

Enter LuxCreo, an innovative 3D printing manufacturer that is making waves in this "direct print" world - empowering dentists to create custom clear aligners in-house at an affordable cost. In fact, they lay the claim to be the first FDA cleared 510 (K) class II direct print aligner workflow.

Digital dentistry is no longer about early adoption—it’s about optimization, efficiency, and scalability. As we head into 2026, dental practices are shifting from “Should we go digital?” to “How do we get more from the technology we already own?”
