Digital dentistry at the service of patients

The biggest dental development in recent years, the intraoral scanner has taken dentistry to a higher digital level.
The biggest dental development in recent years, the intraoral scanner has taken dentistry to a higher digital level. This cutting-edge technology, pioneered at Marton.Dental Dentistry in Mosonmagyaróvár, not only helps the dentist’s work, but above all focuses on the needs and comfort of the patient. We talked about this and many other advantages of patient-centred, modern dentistry with Dr. Zoltán Marton, dental specialist and implantologist.

We already know the scanner as a picture rider from home or the office. But what can a dentist use it for?

Dr. Marton: An oral scanner (in the profession called intraoral scanner) is also an imaging device. It takes a perfect, digital impression of the inside of your mouth and your teeth, opening up new avenues in dentistry. The image of our oral cavity is instantly displayed on the screen and in a few minutes, the dental laboratory staff can get to work.
 

Why did Marton.Dental decide to purchase such a serious and age-appropriate dental device?

Dr. Marton: Digitalisation is an important topic in all areas of our day and age and has always been present in our dental practice. But I didn’t want to follow just another trend that might not benefit our dental practice or our patients because of a lack of experience. Rather, I was looking for an answer to the question of what makes our work easier and what benefits our patients. After seeing that many people find it difficult to take impressions, an uncomfortable process that takes a few minutes but feels like hours in the dental chair, the decision was easy to make.
 

What does this innovation offer to those who come to you?

Dr. Marton: One of the biggest advantages is that there is no impression taking and the associated nausea, no impression inaccuracy thanks to precise 3D imaging, and digital data transmission means faster workflow and easier communication. Last but not least, the data stored is permanent and can be used for years, so there is no need to make another impression.

 

This has certainly made a big difference to your work. What has been your experience so far and how have your patients responded to the new approach?

Dr. Marton: Fortunately, I had the opportunity to test the Medit i500 dental scanner in the field several times before purchasing it, so I was able to get full confidence in the machine and its digital application. After the training period, my team and I were able to clearly see the benefits of the new technology. It was a forward-looking investment that, in retrospect, was worth every penny. In this case, the technology is really helping us and benefiting our patients. Years of experience with this device have proven us right.
