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.
Here at Voxel, we've watched, evaluated, and tested for ourselves some of 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.
Here’s a look at the top dental technologies to watch for in 2025, including some technologies we've personally invested in here at Voxel:
LuxCreo’s direct-print aligner technology is transforming orthodontics by enabling practices to design and print clear aligners in-house. Traditionally, aligners require several weeks to produce, with digital impressions sent to an external lab for fabrication. LuxCreo’s 3D printing solution changes that by allowing orthodontists to print aligners chairside, delivering same-day treatment options that are both fast and efficient.
Key Benefits:
Direct-print aligners not only streamline workflows but also increase patient satisfaction by offering a more responsive and customizable orthodontic experience. With LuxCreo’s technology, same-day aligners are no longer a distant vision—they’re becoming a standard of care.
For implant and multi-restoration cases, precise mapping of implant positions is critical to achieving an accurate fit. Over the past few years, technologies such as iCAM iMETRIC4D and Tupel 3D Dental Scanners have become prominent in photogrammetry.
Now, there's technology which combines the photogrammetry scan with a traditional intraoral scan. Shining 3D’s Aoralscan Elite integrates intraoral scanning and photogrammetry, capturing ultra-precise 3D images that detail implant placements down to the micron level. This combination allows for highly accurate restorations and ensures that every component aligns perfectly.
Key Benefits:
The Aoralscan Elite ensures that dental professionals can handle even the most complex implant and full-arch cases with accuracy, efficiency, and enhanced patient comfort, setting new standards for precision in digital workflows.
Over the next few years, 3D printing in dentistry is aiming to be more efficient and more capable for dental practices than ever before. Enter the SprintRay MIDAS for one key innovation expected in 2025.
SprintRay’s MIDAS 3D printing technology will be taking the production of crowns and restorations to new heights. The MIDAS system, designed specifically for high-quality dental printing, allows clinicians to print custom crowns, bridges, and veneers directly in-office. This capability gives practices the flexibility to create highly customized restorations on demand.
Key Benefits:
With SprintRay MIDAS, dental practices can deliver same-day crowns and restorations, streamlining workflow and providing patients with an exceptional level of care without the wait.
Across the board, many experts are expecting AI to have major implications in dentistry in a variety of different arenas. One major innovation expected next year is the Automate Design Tool by 3Shape.
3Shape Automate leverages AI to make treatment planning faster, more accurate, and highly consistent. As the world’s first AI-powered dental design solution, 3Shape Automate can design crowns, bridges, and other restorations in just seconds, freeing clinicians and lab technicians from repetitive design tasks.
Key Benefits:
For dental professionals looking to streamline their workflows and improve efficiency, 3Shape Automate offers a scalable, cost-effective solution that produces reliable, high-quality designs on demand.
In-office milling is becoming popular, not just among enthusiasts but also those looking to control and speed up the process for their patients. As in-office mills become more affordable, brands such as VHF, Roland, and other leading manufacturers are changing the landscape of restorative dentistry. These systems allow practices to mill custom restorations on-site, providing a level of speed and convenience that traditional lab processes cannot match.
Key Benefits:
In-office milling is particularly valuable for practices aiming to expand their restorative capabilities and offer same-day solutions, giving them a competitive edge in patient convenience and care quality.
As AI technology advances, predictive analytics are becoming an essential tool for personalized dental care. AI-driven software can analyze patient data, helping clinicians anticipate future issues and recommend preventive treatments. This technology is particularly beneficial for complex cases in implantology, orthodontics, and periodontics.
Key Benefits:
Predictive analytics empower clinicians to provide personalized, proactive care, transforming treatment planning into a data-driven process that minimizes risk and improves patient satisfaction.
New advances in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scanners continue to set the standard for high-precision digital imaging. In 2025, we can expect faster, higher-resolution CBCT systems and even more intuitive intraoral scanners that streamline diagnosis, planning, and patient communication.
Key Benefits:
These advancements provide clinicians with the tools they need to make faster, more accurate diagnoses and create more effective treatment plans, elevating the quality of care for every patient.
The dental technologies emerging in 2025—from direct-print aligners and AI-driven planning to photogrammetry-enhanced intraoral scanning and in-office manufacturing solutions—are transforming the dental industry. These innovations allow clinicians to deliver care that is faster, more accurate, and increasingly personalized, setting new standards in patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes.
For practices looking to stay competitive and elevate their level of care, embracing these technologies is essential. By integrating the latest tools and systems, dental professionals can streamline their workflows, reduce treatment times, and provide a level of care that meets the needs of modern patients. As we look toward 2025, the future of dentistry is bright, efficient, and fully digital.
