Digital dentistry adopts a digital approach from modeling, design, and production. Digital oral scanning can quickly create high-precision digital dental models, replacing traditional impression methods. Digital all-ceramic design uses computer software to design and simulate dentures, crowns, and veneers. After designing the dentures, 3D printing technology is used to produce the dentures. The precision, beauty, and speed are greatly improved over the traditional process.

Ye Liwei shared that a patient suffered from severe periodontal disease and missing molars, and pathological displacement occurred in the front teeth of the upper jaw, resulting in gaps in the front teeth and affecting the appearance. After controlling the periodontal condition first, digital smile design is used to discuss and communicate with the patient, and the aesthetic area is restored with four all-ceramic crowns and two all-ceramic veneers. The fully digitalized process combines precision and efficiency and can complete denture treatment in as little as one day.

Dental treatment processes are constantly improving, and Taiwan’s dental technology does not lag behind other major countries. To meet the prosthetic needs of periodontal patients, the use of non-metallic materials to repair teeth with all-ceramic restorations, combined with digital dental treatment processes, can provide periodontal patients with fast, high-quality, beautiful and durable treatment results.
