One of the biggest advantages of digital dentistry is the reduction in treatment time and the number of patient visits. Below is a comparison between the traditional implant workflow and the digital workflow we use in Implant and Surgery House.
Traditional Implant Prosthetic Workflow
Typical number of visits: 5–7 appointments
Implant surgery
Healing period (several months)
Traditional impression appointment
Laboratory fabrication
Try-in appointment
Adjustments
Final prosthesis delivery
Traditional impressions often require physical materials and shipping to a dental laboratory, which adds additional time to the process.
Digital Workflow with Photogrammetry and 3D Printing
Typical number of visits: 2–3 appointments
Implant surgery + photogrammetry + intraoral scanning
In-house 3D printing of temporary prosthesis
Delivery of temporary fixed teeth within 24 hours
After healing is complete, the final prosthesis can be fabricated using the same digital records.
