Etobicoke, Canada – February 8, 2018 /PressCable/ —

Earlier today, Parklawn Dental announced the launch of its new dental scanning procedure on February 8th, 2018. For anyone with even a passing interest in the world of cosmetic and general dentistry, this new development in dental tech will be worth paying attention to, as it looks to be the start of a growing trend.

Until recently, if you needed a dental crown, dentures, a bridge or braces, the only way to create an impression of your teeth involved biting down for several minutes on a soft gooey material that would eventually harden into a mold. This mold would then be sent to a lab that would produce a stone cast of your gums and teeth. As Dr. Walter Yim, owner of Parklawn Dental, makes a point of saying, “it’s incredible that these 19th century tools are being employed to treat 21st century problems.”

Dr. Walter Yim continues… “While most other dental practices still use these conventional putty and stone methods, Parklawn Dental has invested in state of the art, 3D scanning technologies to produce digital impressions of our patients’ teeth. Scanning removes a lot of the effort and guesswork associated with traditional impressions, and reduces or even eliminates errors. Completed in no more than three to five minutes, the virtual model can be stored indefinitely and sent over the internet to a lab to create appliances like crowns and braces.” Dr. Yim also points out that digital technology has the advantage of being environmentally friendly, because it saves space, makes for efficient recordkeeping, supports a paper-free office, and eliminates plastic waste that would have ended up in a landfill. “Ultimately this is going to be a huge benefit to our customers because digital impressions are safer and more comfortable since there is none of the off-gassing or gagging that’s common with putty. We also found that kids love the “wow” moment when a virtual 3D model of their mouth appears on the screen, while parents love the fact their kids are actually excited about going to the dentist.”

Established in 1972 by Dr. Yim’s father, Parklawn Dental has been serving generations of families in the South Etobicoke area for 58 years. After assuming leadership and relocating to the Queensway in 1988, Dr. Yim has continued the family tradition of providing patients with the highest quality, long term, dental care.

“Once our patients experience the comfort and convenience of our digital scanning procedure,” Dr. Yim observes, “they are loathe to return to the old ways. Patients also appreciate the fact that our investment in digital impressions can actually reduce the number of visits they’re required to make, saving them time and money.” This alone is predicted to make Parklawn Dental’s digital impressions more popular with customers seeking cosmetic treatments, not to mention families and children requiring ongoing care.

The dental scanning procedure is set to launch on 08 February 2018. To find out more, the place to visit is https://www.parklawndental.ca/
