Digital Dentistry | Our Dental Technology Philosophy

 Digital dentistry refers to the use of advanced digital tools, imaging systems, software, and manufacturing technologies to improve diagnosis, treatment planning, and the overall patient experience. It replaces many traditional manual methods with faster, more precise, and more comfortable digital processes.

Below is a clear explanation and how we specifically incorporated at LADD Dental Group.

⭐ What Is Digital Dentistry?

Digital dentistry uses technology such as:

1. Intraoral Scanners

Replaces traditional impression material. Creates highly accurate 3D images of teeth—instantly.

2. Digital X-Rays & 3D CBCT Imaging

Provides clearer, more detailed images with far less radiation than older X-rays.

3. AI-Enhanced Diagnostics

Artificial intelligence systems (like Overjet) help dentists detect decay, bone loss, and other issues earlier and more accurately.

4. Digital Treatment Planning

Software that allows dentists to plan procedures with precision—orthodontics, implants, dentures, smile design, and more.

5. 3D Printing & CAD/CAM Manufacturing

Used to create crowns, aligners, dental implant surgical guides, dentures, night guards, and more with unmatched accuracy.

6. Clear Aligner Technology

Digital scans create custom orthodontic aligners without messy impressions.

⭐ How Digital Dentistry Is Used at LADD Dental Group

We have made major investments in digital workflows to improve comfort, accuracy, and speed for patients across all locations. Some of the ways it is incorporated:

✔ 1. Dandy Digital Workflow for Impressions & Restorations

Your new partnership with Dandy allows LADD Dental Group to:

  • Take fully digital scans instead of messy impressions

  • Provide faster crowns, bridges, and night guards,

  • Deliver more accurate, better-fitting restorations

  • Give patients a modern, tech-forward experience

This is a significant step toward fully digitized restorative care across the group.

✔ 2. Overjet AI Diagnostics

All LADD Dental Group offices use Overjet AI, which:

  • Analyzes X-rays in real time

  • Highlights decay, bone loss, and pathology

  • Improves accuracy of diagnosis

  • Helps patients visually understand their treatment needs

This increases trust and elevates the patient experience.

✔ 3. Digital Orthodontics (SureSmile Clear Aligners)

With your new SureSmile Scan & Save initiatives, LADD Digital Dentistry includes:

  • 3D scans instead of impressions

  • Highly customized aligner treatment

  • Faster turnaround

  • Consultation and simulations on-screen for patients

This also supports your own personal SureSmile journey.

✔ 4. Digital Dental Implants

Digital dentistry is used for dental implant care through:

  • 3D CBCT imaging

  • Digital implant planning software

  • Surgical guides for precise placement

  • Better long-term outcomes

This benefits complex cases handled by your specialists, including Dr. Grishin.

✔ 5. Digital Patient Experience & Efficiency

Digital dentistry at LADD also means:

  • Digital charts and treatment planning

  • Faster appointment times

  • Better communication with labs

  • Predictable outcomes for patients

Every step is designed to improve quality, speed, and comfort.

⭐ Summary: What Patients Experience at LADD Dental Group

When our patients visit a LADD Dental office, they benefit from:

  • No messy impressions

  • Faster, more comfortable procedures

  • More accurate diagnosis

  • AI-enhanced care

  • Better-fitting crowns, dentures, and aligners

Dental Work | Importance of Routine Dental Care | Preventative Dental Care

Importance of Routine Dental Care  When I was in my 30s and a dentist told me I needed a few crowns , I decided to skip the expensive devices because of my meager paycheck. Besides, my teeth weren't hurting. Years later, I am paying the price in pain and costlier dental work . One of the damaged teeth that needed a crown distorted my bite, making a minor jaw-joint problem even worse. Unfortunately I'm far from alone. The price of dental care is steep for many people financially, physically and even socially, according to Marko Vujicic, chief economist and vice president of the Health Policy Institute at the American Dental Association.
