As dental technology continues to advance, dentists are exploring innovative ways to improve their patients’ comfort and overall experience. Biomimetic materials and digital radiography are two of the most revolutionary solutions that have changed the face of pediatric dentistry in recent years, and Junior Dental has been at the forefront of embracing these changes.
Biomimetic materials: the natural alternative
Biomimetic materials are designed to mimic natural tooth structure, offering a more conservative approach to restoring teeth decay management. Traditional materials used in fillings and crowns, such as amalgam or silver, can cause damage to healthy tooth structure and can even weaken teeth over time. Biomimetic materials, on the other hand, are made with biocompatible materials, imitate natural tooth structure providing strength and support, preserving healthy tooth material and helps prevent the need for root canal treatment later in life.
Junior Dental is proud to offer biomimetic materials for their pediatric patients. In addition to being a more natural alternative to traditional materials, biomimetic materials can be easier to place and require less drilling, resulting in a more comfortable dental experience for children.
Digital radiography: a safer, more efficient dental imaging solution
Digital radiography is quickly becoming the norm in the dental industry. This advanced imaging technology offers a safer, faster, and more accurate way to capture dental X-rays with minimal radiation exposure. Traditional X-rays typically require more radiation to obtain a readable image, which can be a cause of concern, especially for young patients. Digital radiography reduces radiation exposure by up to 90%.
At Junior Dental, digital radiography is the go-to imaging solution. This technology allows for images to be captured instantly, producing clearer images that are easier for dentists to analyze. The digital nature of the x-rays also allows for easy and secure storage of these images in the patient’s file, making it easier to share with other dental professionals as needed.
