WHAT IS DIGITAL DENTISTRY?
Digital dentistry refers to the use of fully or partially computer-aided devices, methods and technology during diagnosis, planning and treatment.
Digital dentistry methods are methods developed to reduce the margin of human error, increase production precision and shorten treatment duration.
From a simple filling to complicated implant treatments, from aesthetic planning to smile design, from orthodontics to porcelain veneers, many applications can now be performed using digital technologies and devices.
In addition to advantages such as speed and the sensitivity, another significant advantage of digital production methods is that production data for fillings, veneers, bridges, orthodontic plaques, production plaques and all other similar applications that are unique to the patient can be stored in the database, and they can be produced again without the need to take measurement again.
Another advantage is that the patient’s current oral condition can be scanned and recorded, and these recordings can be used to make comparisons with new scans. In this way, abrasions, displacements and similar changes can be identified.
DIGITAL SURGICAL GUIDE (SURGICAL GUIDED IMPLANTS)
Digital surgical guide, which increases the success of implant surgery by ensuring that implants be placed at the most accurate angle and in the most accurate position to the jawbone during implant surgery, reduces the amount of bleeding by eliminating the need for gum removal.
Before digital surgical guide application, which enables reducing surgical traumas, 3-dimensional tomography is taken to obtained detailed images of the jawbone of the patient. Then, an analysis is performed on the parts where the missing teeth are located, and the size, angle and position of the implant to be placed to replace the missing tooth are carefully adjusted.

LASER DENTISTRY
Laser is non-ionizing light and does not accumulate in the tissue. For this reason, it does not have any damaging properties such as x-ray. It is important to use it in the right dose using appropriate laser wavelength. It can be used on everyone, including pregnant women, children, and heart patients.
Disinfection and sterilization are applied in the area where the laser is used.
The selective property of the laser beam, the power of which can be adjusted, on the carious tissue ensures that the treatment be completed with minimal loss of substance. (Removes only the carious area from the tooth.)
In surgical applications performed with laser, there is almost no bleeding during the procedure. The possibility of complications, swelling and discomfort that may occur after each surgical application is reduced, and a faster recovery is ensured.
DIGITAL 3D IMAGING
Nowadays, with advanced three-dimensional tomographic x-rays, we can map out the teeth and important anatomical structures in about 30 seconds. In this way, both implant applications and aesthetic dental treatment applications can be performed flawlessly without any taking risks thanks to careful planning.
DIGITAL SMILE DESIGN
Thanks to digital software, dentists can find the most accurate alignment between the patient’s tooth structure, gums, lips and face. Thus, a natural and aesthetic smile can be created for a person. In digital smile design, a patient-oriented treatment is performed. The ideal smile is unique to each individual. That is why dentists design the most suitable smile for a person.
DIGITAL MEASUREMENT AND SCANNING
Sometimes a gag reflex occurs while taking measurements using the classical and traditional system, which leads to problems such inability to take precise measurements. Such problems can be experienced at a minimum level in the digital measurement process. It is possible to make clear implementations by transferring the obtained images to virtual environment and performing computer modeling. Thanks to digital measurement method, the measurement is almost perfect, and discomfort likely to be suffered by the patient is greatly reduced.
In digital dentistry, teeth are scanned with an optical camera, and images are transferred to a computer environment in 3 dimensions. Measurements are taken using the 3-dimensional scanning method.
INLAP SYSTEM
The new InLab CAD Software is now even more compatible with the requirements of CAD / CAM systems in dental laboratories. As a separate CAD component, the software is independent of the scanning and production unit. InLab CAD Software covers need-based indications with optimized design processes and a user-friendly interface.
