DIGITAL DENTISTRY LEARNING HUB

Researching ways to increase your profitability as a practice?

The landscape of full-arch restorations has changed dramatically with the introduction of digital workflows. What was once a time-consuming, multi-appointment, analog process can now be streamlined into a highly accurate, efficient, and patient-friendly experience—all thanks to digital dentistry.

As digital orthodontics continues to evolve, the demand for precision, efficiency, and automation in aligner production has never been higher. One of the most critical steps in the clear aligner manufacturing process is trimming—a step that ensures aligners have smooth, comfortable edges that fit precisely to a patient's dental anatomy. The Trimlign2 is a revolutionary aligner trimming system that is redefining how orthodontic labs and practices streamline their clear aligner finishing process.

Known originally for their injet printers, Roland has since explored applications in dentistry - particularly in dental milling. Their dental milling suite is designed to simplify production and improve both practice efficiency doctors and lab technicians.

Dental milling machines have revolutionized restorative dentistry, allowing for the precise fabrication of crowns, bridges, inlays, and other dental prosthetics with exceptional accuracy and efficiency.

Zirconia has become the material of choice for modern dental restorations, combining strength, biocompatibility, and aesthetics to deliver long-lasting, natural-looking results. Whether you’re fabricating crowns, bridges, or full-arch restorations, selecting the right zirconia blocks or pucks for your milling machine is essential for achieving precision and quality.

Staining and glazing are essential steps in creating lifelike, esthetic dental crowns that blend seamlessly with a patient’s natural dentition. These finishing techniques enhance the crown's color, translucency, and surface texture, ensuring both durability and esthetics.

As we head into 2025, the field of dentistry is poised for remarkable innovations that will reshape patient care, enhance clinical precision, and improve workflow efficiencies. From advanced imaging to AI-powered diagnostics, new dental technologies are streamlining processes, creating new treatment possibilities, and driving patient satisfaction.

So you're thinking about making the investment in advanced dental equipment—such as CBCT, 3D printers, intraoral scanners, milling machines, photogrammetry units, wire bending robots, and other cutting-edge tools? Making the investment in new technologies can be a stepping stone for your practice, but it also can be a significant financial commitment for any dental practice.

No matter how you keep up with your annual CE, whether hands-on courses, online webinars or dental conferences and association meetings, you're going to hear about the digital transformation happening in dentistry.

Digital dentistry has transformed how dental professionals deliver patient care, streamlining workflows, improving accuracy, and enhancing patient experiences.

Voxel Dental is at the forefront of this revolution. Starting in 2016, our Founder James Bonham, recognized that the future of dentistry would revolve around digital technologies. Since Voxel's inception, our goal has always been to be your digital dental workflow partner in devices support and consultation, from intraoral scanners to 3D printing.

With over 80 years of combined dental experience, our services range from lab service consultation, additive manufacturing, and intraoral scanning to CBCT, pan/ceph imaging, robotics, lab products, sales and support.

We wrote this ultimate guide to digital dentistry to help dentists at any stage of their journey. We'll cover everything from intraoral scanning to 3D printing, giving dental professionals no matter of specialty a comprehensive overview of how digital tools can elevate your practices.

One of the most transformative innovations in dentistry is the fully digital workflow, where practices can now seamlessly integrate intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM design, and in-office milling to create precise, same-day restorations. For practices looking to maximize efficiency, reduce patient wait times, and improve overall outcomes, mastering this digital workflow is essential.
