Why do dentists and technicians go digital?

Increase accuracy and precision at every step of the dental workflow.

No two cases are the same.

Patient anatomy is unique, and each treatment is tailored, enabled by a long history of custom, human-centric craftsmanship. As with any trade, quality is dependent on the skills of a given Dentist, Assistant or Technician, and achieving consistent, high-quality, affordable dental products with so many potential opportunities of error is incredibly tricky.

Digital Dentistry reduces the risks and uncertainties introduced by human factors, providing higher accuracy, and precision at every stage of the workflow.

In a dental practice, saving time on menial tasks means shorter appointments, increased throughput, and increased Patient satisfaction.
Easy impression taking with 3D intra-oral scanners reduces chair time, labour and cuts out the cost of materials and shipping impressions to the Dental Laboratory.

There’s instant feedback, and no manual errors like voids, bubbles or tears, eliminating the need for retakes.

However, one of the most significant benefits of Digital Technology is improved Patient experience and comfort. A satisfied Patient is more likely to return to and recommend a clinic, contributing to the long-term success of the practice.

Digital Workflow

We’re confident that Dentistry’s future is inevitably Digital, and it is well on the way with cutting-edge Digital Technologies for impressions, treatment planning, design, and 3D printing. 

What was once expensive is now rapidly becoming accessible, transforming thousands of Dental Practices and Laboratories worldwide. 

“It’s not just about speed — it’s about creating a more predictable and transparent process for both clinician and patient,” — Andy Fairbanks

As CAD/CAM continues to replace traditional workflows and become the standard for Dental care, we have created a series of Digital workflow solutions that enhance Dental business efficiency.

Digital Manufacturing

Promethean has invested heavily in Digital manufacturing processes and regularly works with all types of Intra-oral scanners.

Our Digital facilities, 3D printing technology and CAD/CAM can produce ultra-fine detail work and offers almost endless possibilities.

“Digital manufacturing allows us to deliver the same high standard, every single time — that consistency is a huge advantage for our clinicians,” — Steve Osgathorpe

Digital Implants

Having worked on the restoration of Dental Implants for many years, we consider no case is ever too challenging. Our modern, state of the art facility is equipped with 3D design processing technology, and we offer a wide choice of industry-leading materials.

“When you can plan the end result from the very beginning, everything becomes more controlled, more precise, and ultimately more predictable,” — Andy Fairbanks

This combination results in some of the most natural looking implant restorations in the industry.

CAD/CAM plays a big part in our implant management process as we assess each case individually. Zirconia, Gold hue and Titanium Abutments are all available in our comprehensive service.
