From fillings to full mouth care: Making digital dentistry work for you

What to expect

This webinar aims to demonstrate how adopting a digital workflow can facilitate a move from a more reactive, single-tooth approach to a more proactive, comprehensive approach to care, including integrating intraoral scanning, into everyday practice. Delegates will discover how digital tools can improve efficiency, enhance diagnostics, and enable more predictable, patient-centred treatment planning.

Learning objectives

• Recognise the benefits of a broader treatment approach – Understand how digital workflows support a shift from single-tooth dentistry to a more proactive, whole-mouth approach that improves long-term patient outcomes
• Discover how digital scanning enhances everyday dentistry – Learn how intraoral scanning streamlines diagnosis, treatment planning, and case collaboration for restorative, orthodontic, and implant treatments
• Improve your patient communication and case acceptance – Explore how digital scans help patients visualise their dental needs, leading to increased understanding, trust, and treatment acceptance.
