Dr. Michelle Sandler Provides Faster, More Comfortable Treatment for her Patients with Digital Dentistry

March 16, 2018 – – San Diego — Dr. Michelle Sandler of Solana Family Dental is now making treatment faster and more comfortable for her patients with intraoral scanning and digital dentistry.

Dr. Sandler has added the industry’s most accurate* intraoral scanner, TRIOS® by 3Shape, to power her digital practice.

Intraoral scanners, like TRIOS®, are used in digital dentistry to take super high speed images of a patients’ mouths. The images, called digital impressions, are then brought into CAD/CAM software to design and manufacture dental restorations like dentures, crowns, veneers, dental implants as well as plan orthodontic treatments and create orthodontic appliances.

Digital dentistry workflows speed up patient appointments and save production time as well as enhancing nearly all diagnostic, restorative and surgical procedures. Dental procedures that once took weeks are now done in a single appointment.

One major change Dr. Sandler’s patients will notice right away is not having to take complete-arch impressions the old way using silicone putty – a procedure known to strike fear in many patients.

In a study published by the American Dental Association, old-fashion impressions taken with putty, caused gagging in 8% of the participants.** Dr. Sandler is now using TRIOS® which means no more gooey impressions and no more gagging for her patients.

Taking impressions digitally is also more comfortable for the patient. A study by the University of Bern School of Dental Medicine found that 100% of the patients in the study preferred the digital workflow as opposed to taking analog impressions.***

In addition, the accuracy of digital impressions make the resulting restorations more precise. Accuracy that cuts down on the need for having to make remakes of the restoration and/or bringing the patient back to do over the analog impression because of a fault or damage to the impression caused during shipping, designing and storage. And importantly, because it’s digital, there are no more plaster models to throw out.

Visit Dr. Sandler at Solana Family Dental for fast and more comfortable digital treatment with the industry’s state-of-the-art equipment.
