“Teeth are never just teeth,” Marc says. “They

and its connection to the whole person.

3D Imaging and Digital Scanners in Digital Dentistry Transformation
One of the most impactful technologies in digital dentistry transformation is 3D imaging. Cone Beam Computed 
Tomography (CBCT) allows dentists to visualize the entire oral structure in three dimensions. This enables precise 
diagnosis and treatment planning.
Additionally, intraoral scanners have replaced traditional molds. These scanners capture accurate digital impressions in 
seconds. Not only does this improve accuracy, but it also enhances patient comfort. As a result, dentists can deliver better 
outcomes with less effort.
CAD/CAM Systems in Digital Dentistry Transformation
CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing) systems are another cornerstone of digital dentistry 
transformation. These systems allow dentists to design and fabricate crowns, veneers, and bridges in-house.
